    Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a common health problem, which manifests itself with chronic hyperglycemia and impaired insulin action. The prevalence of anxiety disorders tends to be high in the diabetic population. Exercise has a well-known anxiolytic effect, also demonstrated on rodents, but the effect of exercise on the DM-induced anxiety is still unknown. Female, Wistar albino rats were randomly divided into four groups (n=8) (C; EX; DM; DM+EX). DM was induced by injection (i.p.; 50 mg/kg) of Streptozotocin (STZ). Rats exercised in moderate intensity on the treadmill (15m/min; 5 degrees; 30 min) for 5 weeks. Anxiety-like behavior (ALB) was evaluated by Open field test (OFT) and Elevated Plus Maze (EPM). According to OFT, central time and central entry have increased with in EX but not in DM+EX. There was no difference between C and DM. Central latency time didn't differ among groups. Unsupported rearing increased in both EX and DM+EX. There was no significant decrease in DM. Freezing time was significantly increased in the DM group. Exercise training reduced freezing time both in diabetic and non-diabetic animals. EPM results were similar. Time spent in open arm was increased significantly in exercise groups compared to their sedentary matches, and freezing time data were also parallel to OFT. Our study revealed that diabetes had shown an anxiogenic effect, which was not severe, and it only manifested itself on some behavioral parameters. Exercise training was reduced anxiety-like behavior both in diabetic and non-diabetic rats. However, because of the nature of exercise studies, it is hard to separate the anxiolytic effect of exercise from the alteration of locomotion.

    Rehabilitation in Neuromuscular Diseases: Best Turkish Practice Recommendations by Multidisciplinary Experts
    (Springer Heidelberg, 2025) Umay, Ebru; Tanigor, Goksel; Toraman, Fusun; Karaahmet, Ozgur; Bilgilisoy, Meral; Sertpoyraz, Filiz; Nazli, Fatma
    Background and aim:Neuromuscular diseases (NMDs) are a heterogeneous group of diseases including motor neurone diseases (MND), muscle diseases (MD), neuropathies and neuromuscular junction diseases (NMJD). NMDs are characterized by a wide range of symptoms and findings, depending on different underlying issues. Therefore, the literature includes specific management and/or rehabilitation recommendations for each subgroup and even for some diseases within these subgroups. Currently, neither in our country nor globally is there a comprehensive recommendation study that thoroughly addresses all aspects of NMD rehabilitation developed by experienced and specialized multidisciplinary experts in the field.Materials and methodsThe recommendations in this paper have been created by a multidisciplinary team for all patients without age limitation under the headings of peripheral neuropathy/polyneuropathy, MND, MD and NMJD using the seven-step and 3 round modified Delphi method via e-mail. The strength of agreements (SOA) was calculated for each item (recommendation) using percentages (response of between 8 and 10%), median values, and interquartile range with Kappa method.ResultsThe opinions of the experts were analysed according to the 3-round modified Delphi method, and a list of 110 items of recommendations for patients with NMDs of all ages was prepared in as much detail as possible to shed light on almost all questions and problems that may be encountered in clinical practice. There were 5 recommendations in the general management subsection, 20 recommendations in the rehabilitation indications subsection, 8 recommendations in the rehabilitation contraindications section, and 77 recommendations in the rehabilitation section (general principles 7 recommendations, modalities 13 recommendations, exercise characteristics 57 recommendations).ConclusionWe think that this study will be a light for physicians dealing with this patient group in clinical practice, as it includes fine details up to exercise prescriptions.
