    Objectives: Hot water epilepsy (HWE), also called as bathing epilepsy is a reflex epilepsy in which seizures are triggered by the stimulus of bathing in hot water. The relationship between epilepsy syndromes and genetic have been known for a long time. In this study, we aimed to determine the inheritance pattern of the five HWE cases with a positive family history. Methods: Pedigrees of the five index cases had a positive family history were drawn and their family members were interviewed. Age, sex, seizure types (classified according to ILAE Task Force on Classification and Terminology), seizure frequency, neurological examination findings, if available EEG and MRI results of patients were recorded. Results: Sixteen patients from five families were included in the study. The patients (ten male, six female) were between 15 and 73 years of age. Four families without consanguineous marriage had patients with HWE at least two generations. One family with consanguineous marriage had with HWE two generations. Conclusion: When analyzed pedigrees, except one family, the disease appears at least two generation in the same family without consanguineous marriage. Our data suggest that the HWE may be an autosomal dominant inherited disorder with low- penetrance and lowexpressivity.

    Risk Factors For Diabetic Polyneuropathy
    (Aves, 2014) Kaplan, Yuksel; Kurt, Semiha; Unaldi, Hatice Karaer; Erkorkmaz, Unal
    Introduction: The aim of this study was to investigate the risk factors for distal symmetric sensory-motor polyneuropathy (DSP) in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM). Methods: Sixty seven patients with type 2 DM (33 males and 34 females) were included in the study. In addition to a detailed neurological examination, the Michigan Neuropathy Screening Instrument was administered to all patients and their total neuropathy scores were calculated. Nerve conduction examinations were performed for all patients. Results: The mean age of the patients was 52.83 +/-.87 years. The mean glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1C) value was 8.56 +/- 2.07% (normal: 3-6.5%). The total neuropathy score significantly correlated with diabetes duration, hypertension, retinopathy, and HbA1C. Conclusion: This study confirms the previous reports regarding the association of neuropathy with poor glycaemic control and duration of the disease. The association of neuropathy with retinopathy and hypertension is important.
