Gentamicin is a potent aminoglycoside antibiotic. Ototoxicity and nephrotoxicity are the main side effects which restrict use of gentamicin. Garlic with its intrinsic antioxidant activity may prove beneficial in prevention from ototoxicity. S-allylmercaptocysteine (SAMC), diallyl disulfide (DD), S-allylcysteine (SAC) three active compounds found garlic. In this study, we investigated effect SAMC, DD, SAC on ototoxicity induced by gentamicin rats, using brainstem evoked response audiometry...

Abstract Objectives Topical nasal steroids are a common treatment intervention for olfactory dysfunction. Penetration of topical to the cleft (OC), such as drops, is greatly dependent on position head when administered. We aimed examine penetrance drops OC in two different positions: Mygind (lying back) and Kaiteki position. Design Setting The specimens were firstly positioned Mygind, thereafter positions. Nasal mixed with blue food dye administered into nostrils each Endoscopic videos...

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is the most common demyelinating disease of central nervous system.MS involves different regions system in periods, and causes demyelination.MS a neuromotor disorder which progresses with remissions relapses.Symptoms MS may regress completely or heal after relapses leaving sequelae.Sudden sensorinerural hearing loss (SSHL) 30 dB more over at least three contiguous audiometric frequencies that develops period few hours to 3 days.In 4-10 % patients, sensorineural occurs...

Esophageal and laryngeal injuries due to ballistic are seldom encountered.Ballistic external neck traumas generally result in death.Incidence of penetrant may vary between 1/5000-137000 patients among emergency service referrals.Vascular injuries, esophagushypopharynx perforations, laryngotracheal bony fractures, segmentations be encountered traumas.Here we report a 27-year-old male patient who was referred our department presented with hyoid bone fracture, multiple mandibular hypopharynx...

Aim: The aim of this article is to imply the significance temporal bone computed tomography imaging before surgeries. Case: A 74-years-old patient was admitted emergency department with dizziness and nausea. neurologic examination showed a spontaneous nystagmus, whereas otologic revealed left tympanic membrane perforation mild discharge. scheduled exclude cholesteatoma perilymphatic fistula. Computed detected an anterior sigmoid sinus middle fossa defect subcutaneous course in...

Even endotracheal intubation could be considered safe in operations under general anesthesia; rarely, it cause recurrent laryngeal nerve paralysis as a complication. As mentioned the literature, possible reason for this, anterior branches of larynx suffer from compression between posteromedial part thyroid cartilage and cuff tube. In unilateral vocal cord due to occurs more frequently comparison bilateral paralysis. These types palsies usually totally improve approximately 6 months. A...

<b><i>Objective:</i></b> To evaluate resonance frequency (RF) values via dehydration effects in the inner ear caused by glycerol test, which is used as a diagnostic method for Ménière’s disease (MD). <b><i>Methods:</i></b> Twenty adult patients with unilateral MD were included study. Before, and then at 1, 2, 3 h after administration of (1 g/kg), pure-tone hearing levels (125–8,000 kHz) multifrequency tympanometry tests performed. As control,...

Angiofibromas typically arise from the nasopharynx in young adolescent males. Extranasopharyngeal angiofibroma (ENA) implicates vascular fibrous nodules occurring outside nasopharynx. Since clinical characteristics of ENA differ those nasopharyngeal angiofibroma, diagnosis can be challenging. Biopsy is usually discouraged due to risk bleeding. A high index suspicion and a methodical evaluation are essential establishing proper treatment. We report rare case 49-year-old woman who presented...

Vestibular dysfunction occasionally accompanies sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) due to anatomical proximity of cochlea and vestibule. The aim the present study was evaluate vestibular system objectively subjectively in 40-to 65-year-old individuals with without SNHL.

Introduction: Congenital unilateral lower lip palsy – also known as asymmetric crying facies is isolated asymmetry of the unilaterally. It characterized by during smiling and speech. Although etiology unknown, depressor labii inferioris (DLI) weakness hold responsible. Aim: Purpose this study was to evaluate effectiveness contralateral botulinum toxin injection on patients’ concern levels patient satisfaction. Ten units A carried out healthy side. Methodology: Eleven patients were treated....

Inflammatory myofibroblastic pseudotumor (IMP) is a rare neoplasm usually found in the lower respiratory tract, pulmonary system, and abdominal cavity. Conservative surgical procedures are often performed management of tumor. In this article, we present 64-year-old male with local IMP larynx. The clinical presentation, diagnosis, histopathology, uncommon tumor were also discussed.

Smell dysfunctions are common with almost 20% percent of the population affected. There no interventional solutions for these patients. The aim this study is to investigate feasibility and security balloon dilatation technique.This paper describes steps determines safety endoscopic olfactory cleft via device. We included 10 nasal cavities in dilated areas device.We could smoothly perform procedure did not observe any fractures on skull base or cadavers after dilatation.A combination...

Abstract Elongation of the stylohyoid process or calcification ligament is known as Eagle syndrome. Mostly, it seen incidentally on imaging with extreme suspicion and usually patients are asymptomatic. Surgery preferred method in symptomatic patients. Transcervical transoral methods may be surgical route. A 28-year-old female patient who had formerly underwent tonsillectomy presented throat ear pain. neck computed tomography was performed, diagnosed Syndrome. recommended. Patient developed...

Objectives: Systemic steroids are a well-known, proven treatment for olfaction impairment. Topical nasal an attractive alternative that avoids systemic side effects and might provide increased local drug activity. Nonetheless, the access of medication to olfactory cleft (OC) by using low- volume devices, such as drops, is greatly dependent on position head. We aimed examine accessibility drops OC area in two different head positions: Mygind (lying back) Kaiteki position. Design Setting: This...

Although systemic steroids have been shown to improve olfactory function, topical not demonstrated the same efficacy. This could a result of limited drug delivery narrow, superiorly placed cleft. study aimed examine penetration intranasal drugs cleft following endonasal balloon dilatation.Balloon dilatation was performed in 12 thawed, fresh-frozen cadaver specimens. In Mygind position, nasal drops mixed with blue food dye were administered into nostril before and after procedure. Endoscopic...
