Contributions of Turkish neurosurgeons on the studies about autonomic nervous system dysfunction following experimental subarachnoid hemorrhage

Abstract

Spontaneous subarachnoid hemorrhage accounts for around 5% of all cases of stroke. Pathophysiologic autonomic nervous system changes have been frequently observed following SAH, In this paper, the interest of Turkish neurosurgeons in studies of autonomic nervous system dysfunction following experimental subarachnoid hemorrhage studies was analyzed. The searched terms “experimental subarachnoid hemorrhage”, “autonomic nervous system” was used for Pubmed search. 83 studies were analyzed. Many papers from Turkey were published (44 studies, 53% of all studies came from Turkey. Rabbits were the most preferred animals (in 48 studies, 57.8%). Neurosurgeons and neuroscientists from Turkey published many studies for autonomic nervous system dysfunction after SAH. [Med-Science 2021; 10(2.000): 583-5]
