However, we do not know how much the society knows about dementia. The aim of this study is to evaluate people's concept of dementia, their awareness of dementia research and treatment, whether dementia and forgetfulness are considered normal in old age, and whether having dementia is associated with a lack of mental abilities. Methods: A Dementia Awareness Questionnaire was created in the form of a self-report questionnaire, consisting of 20 questions and using a five-point Likert-type answering method in order to question participants' information about dementia. In addition, we asked for demographic information such as age, gender, occupation, education level of the participants, as well as whether they have had relatives diagnosed with a neurodegenerative disease. The surveys were administered online. Results: A total of 1551 participants from 53 cities were included in the study. Approximately half of the participants did not know the definition of dementia, 20.9% thought that dementia and Alzheimer's disease were the same; 50.4% considered forgetfulness, and 55.2% considered dementia as a natural consequence of aging. While 34.5% of the participants thought that dementia patients could be dangerous, 10.3% thought they could not continue living as a part of society. While 38.5% of healthcare professionals do not know the definition of dementia, 18.5% of them say that dementia and Alzheimer's disease are the same, 58.5% think that dementia patients are not fit to make their own decisions, 40.6% believe that dementia patients have criminal liability. 15.8% of healthcare professionals thought that dementia is only seen in elderly people; 21.4% thought that dementia, and 49.2% thought that forgetfulness was a result of normal aging. Conclusion: Our study confirms that dementia is still an unknown concept in society and among healthcare professionals. It is widely believed that forgetfulness and dementia are part of normal aging, and there is no cure for dementia. This study, which we have done in order to understand the level of dementia awareness in Turkish society, reveals the necessity for research on dementia and studies on how to increase dementia awareness.Publication Metadata only Concordance between whole-slide imaging and light microscopy for surgical neuropathology(Nature Publishing Group (NPG), 2014) Pekmezei, M.; Henderson, Gregory S.; N/A; Orhan, Yelda Ceren; Tihan, Tarık; Undergraduate Student; Other; School of Medicine; School of Medicine; N/A; 307927N/APublication Metadata only Pathologic approach to spinal cord infections(W B Saunders Co-Elsevier Inc, 2015) N/A; Tihan, Tarık; Other; School of Medicine; 307927The pathologic evaluation of spinal cord infections requires comprehensive clinical, radiological, and laboratory correlation, because the histologic findings in acute, chronic, or granulomatous infections rarely provide clues for the specific cause. This brief review focuses on the pathologic mechanisms as well as practical issues in the diagnosis and reporting of infections of the spinal cord. Examples are provided of the common infectious agents and methods for their diagnosis. By necessity, discussion is restricted to the infections of the medulla spinalis proper and its meninges, and not bone or soft tissue infections.Publication Open Access Towards development of a standard terminology of the World Health Organization Classification of tumors of the central nervous system in the Turkish Language, and a perspective on the practical implications of the WHO classification for low and middle income countries(Buluş Design, 2022) Söylemezoğlu, Figen; Öz, Büge; Eğilmez, Reyhan; Pekmezci, Melike; Bozkurt, Süheyla; Danyeli, Ayça Ersen; Öngürü, Önder; N/A; Tihan, Tarık; Kulaç, İbrahim; Other; Faculty Member; School of Medicine; 307927; 170305In our manuscript, we propose a common terminology in the Turkish language for the newly adopted WHO classification of the CNS tumors, also known as the WHO CNS 5th edition. We also comment on the applicability of this new scheme in low and middle income countries, and warn about further deepening disparities between the global north and the global south. This division, augmented by the recent COVID-19 pandemic, threatens our ability to coordinate efforts worldwide and may create significant disparities in the diagnosis and treatment of cancers between the “haves” and the “have nots”.
