The etiology includes history nasal surgery or trauma, nose picking, bilateral septal cauterization, overuse sprays, cocaine abuse, vasculitis, malignancies.Comparison quality life in patients after conservative surgical treatment, new approach for determination diameter from different point view.The perforation, total vertical septum,...

Selenium plays a role in the prevention of oxidative damage and has been linked to regulatory functions cell growth, apoptosis, survival, cytotoxicity. Melatonin an antioxidant effect, which protects against number free radical species. Given its properties, melatonin widely known inhibit neuronal apoptosis. We examined cytoprotective effects selenium rat olfactory sensory neurons after rhinosinusitis by immunohistochemical evaluation bulb mucosa.Rhinosinusitis was induced bilaterally 24...

Background and Objectives The aim of this study was to investigate serum paraoxanase-1 (PON) activity, total oxidant status (TOS), antioxidant (TAS), the oxidative stress index (OSI) in tinnitus; compare results with data from healthy subjects. Subjects Methods A 114 subjects-54 patients tinnitus 60 controls were enrolled study. Serum PON TOS, TAS, OSI levels measured. Results In group, significantly lower than control group (p<0.001). However, higher Conclusions According obtained present...

To assess the usability of lavender oil as an adjuvant in medical treatment pain due to renal stones.One hundred patients age 19-64 years diagnosed with colic were included study. Group 1 (n=50) received standard therapy (diclofenac sodium, 75 mg intramuscularly); group 2 aromatherapy (lavender oil) addition treatment. In both groups, severity was graded between 0 (no pain) and 10 (severe by using visual analogue scale (VAS).The VAS values at beginning 30 minutes 7.70±1.61, 5.02±2.20,...

Objective Chronic adenotonsillar hypertrophy is the most common etiologic reason for upper airway obstruction in childhood and has been found to be associated with a variety of psychiatric disorders poor quality life. In present study, we investigated impact adenotonsillectomy on attention deficit hyperactivity disorder symptoms, sleep problems, life children chronic hypertrophy. Methods The parents filled out Conners’s Parent Rating Scale-Revised Short form (CPRS-RS), Children’s Sleep...

Odontogenic infections are one of the most common dental problems, which affect 80%-90% population. Untreated odontogenic can cause life-threatening complications such as necrotizing fasciitis, descending mediastinitis, internal jugular vein thrombosis, cavernous sinus carotid artery pseudoaneurysm or rupture, and systemic inflammatory response syndrome. This report aims to present a mediastinitis case, in 22-year-old healthy male patient, originated from an infection. The patient was...

This study aims to determine the association between obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) caused by adenotonsillar hypertrophy and mean platelet volume (MPV) MPV/platelet count ratio in children, evaluate impact of adenotonsillectomy on these two parameters.This prospective consisted 73 child patients (38 boys, 35 girls; age 8.6±3.3 years, range 2 17 years) with chronic who applied Gaziosmanpaşa University Faculty Medicine, Ear, Nose Throat policlinics due witnessed snoring January 2011...

The increased AQP5 expression associated with ageing in glands, which mainly secreted a serous solution, suggests compensation for the decreased amount of saliva secretion age progression.To investigate change aquaporin-1 (AQP1) and aquaporin-5 (AQP5) salivary glands young elder mice.Twelve female mice from Balb/C genus (30-50 g) were used. separated into two groups: Group I had 2-month-old II 18-month-old mice. Salivary (glandula parotidea, glandula sublungualis, submaxillaris) excised...

In this retrospective study, we discussed the results of patients who underwent hypopharynx reconstruction through a pectoralis major myocutaneous flap (PMMF) after laryngopharyngectomy.Twenty-three total laryngectomy, subtotal pharyngectomy, and/or esophagus upper segment resection due to advanced-stage (T3 and T4) laryngeal, hypopharyngeal, segment-located squamous cell carcinoma subsequent with PMMF were retrospectively evaluated. While minor complications determined be wound site...

In this article, we report a 55-year-old female case was treated with radiotherapy due to nasopharynx carcinoma and diagnosed bilateral external auditory canal cholesteatoma four years after radiotherapy. Persistent otorrhea present in the patient diagnosis established through noticing soft tissue mass eroding anterior wall temporal bone tomography as well otoscopic findings. Canaloplasty excision were administered surgical treatment.

Conclusion: A significant association was found of oropharyngeal tularemia with SLC11A1 allele polymorphism (INT4 G/C) and MBL2 C + 4T (P/Q). These results indicate Q might be a risk factor for the development tularemia.Aim: This study aimed to investigate relationship SLC11A1, MBL, P2X7 gene tularemia.Methods: The included totally 120 patients who were diagnosed tularemia. Frequencies polymorphisms in following genes analyzed both patient control groups study: (5’(GT)n Allele 2/3, Int4 G/C,...

Comparison of endoscopic and external dacryocystorhinostomy (DCR) results evaluation patients' satisfaction.Forty six (35 females 11 males) patients who underwent DCR 43 (37 were included. Surgical success was objectively subjectively assessed. The nasolacrimal duct irrigated by a saline solution, the solution visualized endoscopy from nose. Subjective assessment performed asking epiphora. In addition to evaluating operation, satisfaction result surveys administered two groups.There no...

Poorly differentiated thyroid carcinomas (PDTCs) lie, both morphologically and behaviorally, between well-differentiated undifferentiated carcinomas. Metastasis of poorly carcinoma to the intranasal cavity has not been reported previously in literature.A 48-year-old male patient presented with massive epistaxis nasal obstruction. On examination, a bleeding, vascular mass was seen filling left cavity. The histopathological report metastasis. Whole body scintigraphy, ultrasonography positron...

Ectopic lingual thyroid disorder, developing as a consequence of gland migration during early embryogenesis, is rarely seen congenital anomaly. In this paper, we report 39-year-old male patient with snoring and moderate-level obstructive sleep apnea who received the diagnosis at our clinic. We treated thyroxin suppression therapy. During clinical follow-ups, amount tissue significantly decreased, symptoms disappeared.
