Introduction Tinnitus etiopathogenesis is still unclear and treatment options are controversial despite current advances in medicine. Objectives To analyze the correlation between patients' symptom scores, systemic inflammation, and trombosis biomarkers. Methods In this prospective study, we evaluated the degree of complaints of subjective tinnitus patients with the tinnitus severity index (TSI) and tinnitus handicap inventory (THI), and correlated these symptom scores with hematological parameters such as the neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet/lymphocyte ratio (PLR), mean thrombocyte volume (MPV), and platelet distribution width (PDW). Results A total of 44 patients with subjective tinnitus, 25 (56.8%) men and 19 (43.2%) women, were included in this study. The mean age of the patients was 42.3 ± 14.8 years. When the correlation between TSI and NLR, PLR, PDW, and MPV values of the patients were analyzed, no statistically significant correlation was found between TSI, NLR, and PLR (p > 0.05). However, there was a statistically weak positive correlation between TSI, MPV, and PDW.(p < 0.05). When the correlation between THI and NLR, PLR, PDW, and MPV values of the patients were analyzed, no statistically significant correlation was found between THI, NLR, and PLR (p > 0.05). There was a statistically weak positive correlation between THI, MPV, and PDW (p < 0.05). Conclusion We were unable to detect any relationship between systemic inflammation markers (NLR and PLR) and symptom scores, but a weakly positive correlation was observed between thrombosis markers (MPV and PDW) and symptom scores, and as the subclinical thrombosis markers elevated, so did the symptom scores.

“…Subjective tinnitus has been associated with a larger platelet count and volume (52)(53)(54)(55)(56). Interestingly, the minor allele of KCNQ1 rs163171 has been associated with larger platelet count, mean platelet volume, and other inflammatory markers (57).…”

Introduction: Subjective tinnitus, a perception of phantom sound, is a common otological condition that affects almost 15% of the general population. It is known that noiseinduced hearing loss (NIHL) and tinnitus exhibit a high level of comorbidity in individuals exposed to intense noise and music. However, the influence of genetic variants associated with NIHL on tinnitus remains elusive. We hypothesized that young musicians carrying genetic variants associated with NIHL would exhibit a higher prevalence of tinnitus than their counterparts. Methods: To test this hypothesis, we analyzed the database by Bhatt et al. ( 2020) (originally developed by Phillips et al., 2015) that investigated the genetic links to NIHL in young college-aged musicians. The present study identified 186 participants (average age ¼ 20.3 yrs, range ¼ 18-25 yrs) with normal tympanometry and otoscopic findings and with no missing data. We included 19 single nucleotide polymorphisms in 13 cochlear genes that were previously associated with NIHL. The candidate genes include: KCNE1

It leads to abnormalities in mobility and atrophy of the vocal folds which eventually results in deterioration of voice quality and aspiration.…”

Recurrent Laryngeal Nerve Paralysis Following Thyroidectomy: Analysis of Factors Affecting Nerve Recovery

et al. 2022

Objectives: Paralysis of the recurrent laryngeal nerves (RLNs), albeit decreased over the years, leaves the surgeon helpless as there is not much that can be done once it occurs. Nimodipine has been suggested as a remedy that could accelerate the recovery of the nerve. Our study aimed to examine the factors that affect the recovery rate (RR) and time to recovery (TTR) of post-thyroidectomy RLN paralysis, with an emphasis on the use of nimodipine.Methods: A total of 197 patients who had undergone thyroid and parathyroid surgeries were retrospectively reviewed from October 2016 to August 2019. Patients who had RLN paralysis following surgery were assessed. The medical records were retrospectively analyzed to look for possible factors that may influence RLN recovery.Results: A total of 289 nerves were at risk. Temporary RLN paralysis rate was 7.9% while 1.7% was permanent. Age (odds ratio [OR] = 4.8) and intra-operative extra-thyroid extension (OR = 9.0) were independent risk factors for RLN paralysis. The rate of recovery was 82.1%. Loss of signal (LOS; P = .066) was a factor trending for an impact on RR but not nimodipine (P > .05). The mean TTR was 32 days. LOS, nimodipine, and steroid use, among others, were factors trending for an impact on the TTR. Conclusion:Although not reaching statistical significance, nimodipine and steroids might influence TTR but not the RR. Larger studies are warranted to address the effect of nimodipine on the outcome of RLN paralysis.
