    Aim: There is a common belief that creativity and artistic talent/creativity are related to psychopathology. Mood disorders are more prominent in studies about relations between creativity and psychopathology. Also patients may be more productive during mania and hypomania periods of bipolar mood disorder. Considering these data, the purpose of this study was to investigate whether there is a predisposition to bipolar disorder in people with artistic creativity. Materials and Methods: A total of 157 students were selected randomly from the Art department and 157 from different departments including Faculties of Law, Science and Literature and Education. Art students had proven their artistic competence by two stage examination. Groups were compared based on mood disorder questionnaire (MDQ) and bipolarity predisposition factors. SPSS 22.0 was used for statistical analyses. Chi-square analysis was used to compare case-control groups according to demographic characteristics.Results: There were no significant differences between the groups in terms of age, sex, education, smoking, marital status, family history of psychiatric disorder. The number of psychiatric admissions were higher in the students of art (p=0.026). Alcohol-substance use was higher among students of Art (p=0.001). The MDQ scale result was 50.3% positive for Art students and 26.8% positive for students from different departments. MDQ scale, the predisposition of bipolar disorder was found to be significantly higher in Art students.Conclusion: The high prevalence of bipolarity features with MDQ scale in art students supports the relationship between artistic talent / creativity and bipolar disorder.

    Effect of treadmill exercise testing on P wave duration and dispersion in patients with isolated myocardial bridging
    (Springer, 2009) Barutcu, Irfan; Esen, Ali Metin; Ozdemir, Ramazan; Acikgoz, Nusret; Turkmen, Muhsin; Kirma, Cevat
    Several previous studies suggest that myocardial bridging (MB) is associated with ischemia and rhythm disturbances. We sought to examine exercise-induced changes in P wave duration and dispersion (PWD), the markers of atrial conduction abnormalities in patients with isolated MB of left anterior descending artery (LAD) and control subjects. Eighteen patients with MB of LAD (group-I) and 22 subjects with angiographically demonstrated normal coronary arteries (group-II) underwent treadmill exercise testing. Before and after exercise ECG was recorded at a paper speed of 50 mm/s. The change in maximum and minimum P wave duration was measured manually and difference between two values was defined as PWD. There was no difference between two groups in terms of demographic properties. Baseline maximum and minimum P wave duration and PWD durations were similar in both groups and they did not change after exercise. (Group-I: before and after test; 114 +/- A 10 vs. 114 +/- A 9, 66 +/- A 13 vs. 67 +/- A 10, and 47 +/- A 9 vs. 45 +/- A 13 ms, P > 0.05, group-II; 113 +/- A 9 vs. 115 +/- A 8, 68 +/- A 11 vs. 68 +/- A 11, 45 +/- A 11 vs. 48 +/- A 15 ms for each, respectively). In addition there was no significant correlation between PWD and P wave duration and echocardiographic variables. In patients with MB of LAD, PWD and P wave duration were not different than healthy subjects and treadmill exercise testing did not induce atrial conduction abnormalities in both groups.
