Suturation plus Surgicel application increased pain levels while decreasing bleeding incidence during the postoperative period.
The findings of this study indicate that only 1 month after submandibular gland failure, the parotid glands exhibit significant changes.
Purpose: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of nasal steroid use on the loss of smell in patients diagnosed with Covid-19.Material and Method: 211 patients diagnosed with Covid-19 with positive PCR tests between April 2020 and December 2020 and followed up and treated in the Elazig City Hospital Pandemic Clinic were included in this cross-sectional study. The demographic data, comorbidities and drug use histories of the patients were interviewed face-to-face and recorded.Findings: The average age of the patients was 53.55 ± 17.81 (129 men, 82 women). Regarding the age, gender and comorbidities of the patients, there was no difference between the groups with and without loss of smell in terms of average age and gender. Anosmia developed in 50 patients (23.5%) and hyposmia developed in 84 patients (40%). No decrease or loss of sense of smell was observed in 77 patients. 26 of these patients were using nasal steroids at the time of diagnosis, and none of them had a decrease or loss in sense of smell.Results: With the results of the study, it has presented for the first time to the literature that the use of nasal steroids can prevent the loss of smell, which is one of the common neurological symptoms in Covid-19. The results of our study suggest that the nasal steroid, which plays an immunomodulatory role, can be a shield against loss of smell by creating a local anti-inflammatory effect in the nasal mucosa and around the olfactory nerve.
Çalışmamızda merkezimizde doğan bebeklere yapılmış işitme tarama testlerinin sonuçları değerlendirilmiştir. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Çalışmamızda Haziran 2014 ile Ekim 2015 tarihleri arasında merkezimizde doğan 1664 bebek incelendi. Geçici uyarılmış otoakustik emisyon ile yapılan tarama testlerinde testten geçme kriteri olarak en az 3 frekans bandında en az 3 dB HL emisyon cevabı elde edilmesi alındı. Bebeğin her iki kulağında da geçme kriteri elde edildiği zaman testten geçti olarak kabul edildi. Bulgular: Çalışmaya 1664 bebek dahil edilmiştir. Bebeklerin 1416' sı (%85.1) yapılan ilk TEOAE testini geçti. 248 (%14.9) yenidoğan ilk testte kaldı. İlk testte kalan bebeklerden 209' u (%12.5) ikinci testten geçti. Sonuç: Yenidoğanlarda işitme kaybının erken tanınabilmesi, erken dönemde tedaviye başlanabilmesi için önem arzetmektedir. Bu sayede işitme kayıplı çocukların tedavisine başlanabilecek ve dil ve konuşma gelişimleri sağlanabilecektir.
Background Numbness of the nasal skin is one of the most common complications following rhinoplasty Objectives The present study investigates postoperative changes in nasal skin sensation among primary and revision rhinoplasty patients, and evaluates the recovery outcomes for both groups. Methods A prospective, randomized blinded study was undertaken involving 100 primary and 34 revision open rhinoplasty patients, and 50 volunteers as control group. Semmes-Weinstein monofilament testing was performed on seven designated nasal points preoperatively and at postoperative months 1, 3, 6 and 12, and the results were evaluated. Results Among the primary rhinoplasty patients, the change in reduced sensation upon pressure to the tip and infratip over time was significant (p<0.001), while there was no statistically significant difference for the other points. Among the revision rhinoplasty patients, the change in reduced sensation upon pressure to the tip, infratip and the base of columella over time was significant (p<0.001), while there was no statistically significant difference at the other points. In a comparison of the revision and primary rhinoplasty patients at all timepoints, a statistically significant reduction in sensation was noted upon the application of pressure to all points in the revision patient group (p<0.001). Conclusions This study found that the sense of touch upon pressure returned to normal, aside from at the tip and infratip, by the end of month 12 in primary rhinoplasty patients. The revision rhinoplasty patients, in turn, were observed to have reduced sensation upon pressure by the end of month 12, with the greatest reduction at the tip, infratip and columellar base.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
