MATERIALS METHODS:The 62 participants included 31 with...

To evaluate the effect of nasal septal surgery on quality life.A total 49 patients who underwent septoplasty and/or inferior turbinate radiofrequency operations for deviation and hypertrophy were prospectively enrolled in study. All completed adult attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder scale (ADHD scale) Pittsburgh sleep index (PSQI) before after septoplasty. Acoustic rhinometric measurements also recorded.Acoustic PSQI showed statistically significant improvement (P < 0.05), but no...

Our objective was to determine the efficacy of fibrin glue prevent complications and nasal mucociliary clearance (MCC) after septoplasty compared with a nonabsorbable packing requiring removal (polyvinyl alcohol [PVA] sponge).Prospective clinical trial planned data collection.The study conducted at Haydarpasa Numune Education Research Hospital.A total 44 patients, who had operations, were included in study. We evaluated postoperative pain, sleep disturbance on night surgery, bleeding, septal...

Vestibular migraine (VM) is a clinical condition characterized by temporal overlap between vestibular symptoms and migraine. In this study, we aimed to determine the changes in myogenic potential (cVEMP) auditory brainstem response (ABR) patients with VM migraine.A total of 86 participants no hearing loss or additional disease ages 18 45 were enrolled three different groups: group 1, VM; 2, without aura; 3, healthy controls. cVEMP ABR performed for all during attacks attack-free periods. The...

Inflammatory changes in the middle ear mucosa since childhood may affect mastoid pneumatization without a change position of sigmoid sinus. Also, despite fact that recurrences inflammatory disease lead to bone destruction, we did not see any relationship between otitis media and destruction.To assess radiological findings temporal both healthy ears diseased patients with unilateral chronic their childhood.Twenty-five who had otological symptoms, such as recurrent otalgia, purulent otorrhea...

Quality-of-life issues related to chronic otitis media (COM) include physical symptoms, emotional hearing loss, speech social and parents' symptoms. In this study we evaluated the effects of tympanoplasty on quality life pediatric patients.In a questionnaire-based outcome study, reviewed 56 78 patients with COM who were treated type I at our institution between December 2008 February 2010. All asked fill out COM-5 questionnaire their parents, before operation 6 months after operation....

We conducted a prospective study to investigate the possibility of Helicobacter pylori colonization on tonsillar and adenoid tissues. Our group was made up 84 consecutively presenting children aged 4 12 years who had undergone adenotonsillectomy or adenoidectomy with without ventilation tube insertion. The excised specimens were analyzed by rapid urease testing histopathologic examination detect H pylori. Histologic sections subjected hematoxylin eosin staining Giemsa as performed in routine...

Amniotic membranes have been widely used in ophthalmology and skin injury repair because of their anti-inflammatory properties. In this study, we measured therapeutic efficacy determined if amniotic could be for facial nerve repair. The nerves eight rats were dissected end-to-end anastomosis was performed. covered on the sites four rats. Electromyography results showed that, at end 3(rd) 8(th) weeks after membrane covering, latency values by significantly shortened amplitude increased....

To investigate the histopathologic changes in rat soft palate and base of tongue by performing experimental polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) menopause models.Experimental study.The study was conducted at animal care facility Haydarpasa Numune Education Research Hospital.Thirty healthy female Albino Wistar rats were divided into 4 groups (PCOS group [n = 10], per oral letrozole given; PCOS control 6], saline 8], ovariectomized; sham operated). At end follow-up periods, all animals euthanized,...

OBJECTIVES To evaluate medial olivocochlear efferent system of babies with hyperbilirubinemia normal auditory brain stem responses. MATERIALS AND METHODS This was a prospective study in tertiary referral hospital. The involved 40 hyperbilirubinemic and 44 healthy newborns. Cochlear activity participants evaluated by transient otoacoustic emissions (TOAEs) brainstem evoked response components (BAER). Medial (MOC) reflex contralateral acoustic stimulation recorded TOAEs. RESULTS A comparison...

In this study, we aimed to investigate the relationship between body mass index (BMI) and morphometric properties of auricula its acoustic gain characteristics. A total 45 participants 18 years age were enrolled into study. Participants' height weight measurements recorded for BMI calculation. On both sides, measured recorded. Additionally, subjected multidirectional dynamic real ear (REMs) specify intensity frequency values maximum hearing gain. Participants consisted 24 women 21 men. The...

Abstract Background: Most patients with nasolacrimal duct obstruction have dry, crusty nasal mucosa. Mucociliary clearance is modulated by the amount and biochemical composition of mucus. Nasolacrimal disturbs drainage tears into cavity. Objective: We examined effect on mucociliary transport mucosa, comparing saccharine test results for epiphora versus healthy volunteers. Study design: Prospective, randomised, clinical trial. Methods: Eight bilateral 10 unilateral were included in study...

To compare the acoustic parameters and cost effectiveness achieved after endoscopic cordectomy using radiofrequency microdissection electrodes (ECRM) with those of transoral laser radiotherapy.The study included 81 disease-free patients previously treated for early larynx carcinoma (30 ECRM, 27 cordectomy, 24 primary radiotherapy). Post-treatment voice analysis was performed in all patients. Additionally, treatment procedures calculated.The GRBAS (G: Grade, R: Roughness, B: Breathiness, A:...

Our objective was to determine the role of allergy in primary acquired nasolacrimal duct obstruction.A total 41 patients were enrolled study, whom had unilateral obstruction. All included study evaluated by anterior rhinoscopy, endoscopic nasal examination, and multiprick skin test reveal allergic rhinitis.Allergy incidence found be high group. This statistically significant (P < 0.05).Although obstruction seems an ophthalmologic problem, rhinologic problems have great importance etiology....

Objective:  The goal of this research was to investigate how biomarkers, i.e. SII (an index calculated from blood counts various leucocytes), NLR and MLR correlate with features used in the staging laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC), perineural infiltration, lymphatic involvement histological grade.
