Abstract Background Increased reactive oxygen species (ROS) and lipid peroxidation are seen in many dermatologic disorders, including atopic dermatitis, psoriasis, vitiligo, acne vulgaris, pemphigus vulgaris (PV), lichen planus alopecia areata. In PV, the increased production of ROS from activated neutrophils reduces concentrations antioxidant vitamins enzymes. Objective The present study aims to determine oxidative stress index (OSI) by studying serum total oxidant capacity (TOC),...

Following the initial use of endoscopes in otology, pros and cons these instruments have been questioned increasingly. These cause an increase temperature that needs to be investigated. In this study, authors aimed investigate caused by light sources perilymph performing a stapedotomy animal model under anesthesia.The study was performed guinea pig model.In model, simulated otologic stapes surgery at room temperature. The body temperatures pigs were monitored; 0-degree rigid with diameters 3...

Encephalocele is defined as herniation of the brain tissue from a bone defect in cranium. It may be congenital, traumatic, tumoural or develop spontaneously. Traumatic fronto-ethmoidal encephalocele rare and should kept mind for patients who have suffered trauma. Early diagnosis important terms preventing life-threatening complications such meningitis. cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leakage can easily determined with basic radiological imaging methods clinical findings. The computed tomography...

The instruments used in endoscopic surgery include rigid endoscopes of different diameters and angles, sources light monitors. In this study, we explored temperature rises the round window caused by insertion into middle ear; were fitted with sources.An experimental animal study.We subjected seven guinea pigs to simulate otological at room temperature. We monitored body temperatures, along use 0° 3 or 4 mm, including a halogen light, light-emitting diode (LED) xenon light. Data collected...

Leeches are blood-sucking endoparasites that can be seen in different colors and sizes. Leech infestation is endemic tropical regions like Mediterranean countries, Africa Asia. enter the human body when polluted water drunk, they localize mucosa of oropharynx, nasopharynx, tonsils, esophagus or nose but rarely larynx. Depending on its localisation body, leech which attaches firmly secretes an anticoagulant substance called hirudin may cause clinical symptoms such as epistaxis, hemoptysis...

This study aimed to evaluate the preoperative and postoperative oxidative status of children with chronic adenotonsillar hypertrophy.The comprised 25 patients indications for tonsillectomy and/or adenoidectomy following a diagnosis hypertrophy age-gender matched control were included study. Blood samples taken from preoperatively at four weeks postoperatively. Preoperative serum total oxidant (TOS) antioxidant (TAS) levels measured stress index (OSI) was calculated.The level values in...

Tuberculosis is an important public's health problem in developing countries. Although tuberculosis commonly found lungs, it could also be lymph nodes, mouth, tonsils, tounge, nose, epiglottis, larynx, and pharynx of head-neck region. The most common form extrapulmonary placed outside the lungs tuberculous lymphadenitis. lymphadenitis seen extrapulmoner usually invades nodules cervical An adult patient with has been presented within context literature reviewed. A 42-year-old woman, who...

Thyroglossal duct cysts (TDCs) are one of the most common congenital cervical masses that develop in children. Double TDCs reported very few patients literature. However, authors did not come across any thyroglossal cyst with double English A 35-year female patient consulted to authors' clinic complaints a swelling localized on left side neck and recurrent purulent discharge. Sistrunk operation was planned during operation, 2 fistula tracts, both terminated hyoid bone, were exposed.Usually,...

Oxidative stress is believed to have a role in the development of nasal polyps (NPs). It also known that prolidase activity increases secondary chronic inflammation. The purpose this study was evaluate association between and oxidative parameters patients with NPs.Sixty NPs, septal deviations concha hypertrophies were recruited study. Patients divided into two groups; group 1 (n=30) consisted 2 included hypertrophies. Polyp specimens taken from all who underwent endoscopic surgery for NPs....

Osteomas of the temporal bone are rare, slowly growing, benign neoplasms. They can cause symptoms con­ductive hearing loss and fullness in ear. We aimed to report case a 43-year-old female patient with os­teoma located external ear canal.

Background: Choanal atresia and stenosis are the most common craniofacial abnormalities of nose often require more than one corrective surgery or can lead to life-threatening airway obstruction. Objectives: To evaluate long-term outcomes endoscopic septonasal flap technique combined with silicone stents for repair congenital choanal determine independent predictors surgical success. Methods: This study was designed as a review prospectively collected data. The included 40 patients diagnosed...

Introduction:The widely held conviction that blank-firing guns are harmless does not reflect the truth.Injuries particularly affecting head, neck, abdomen, and chest regions of human body caused by these may be serious fatal.This case report aims at attracting attention to potential difficulties in diagnosis treatment based on technical structures injury-causing features guns.Case Report: A forty-one year old male patient shot himself mouth using a gun for suicide then referred our...
