Transcanal Endoscopic Management of Middle Ear Paragangliomas.

Objective: To evaluate the clinical and audiological outcomes of transcanal endoscopic resection of middle ear paragangliomas.

Study Design: Retrospective multicenter study.

Setting: Tertiary referral center and private otology clinic.

Comparison of cervical and ocular vestibular-evoked myogenic potential responses between tone burst versus chirp stimulation.

Purpose: To compare the effectiveness of chirp and tone burst stimuli in oVEMP and cVEMP testing for healthy adults METHODS: This study was conducted in 56 healthy volunteers (112 ears). Ocular and cervical VEMP (oVEMP, cVEMP) tests were performed for each participant using tone burst and chirp stimuli. VEMP response rates, latency of each peak (p1-n1, n1-p1), peak to peak amplitude (p1-n1 amplitude and n1-p1 amplitude), and rectified amplitudes were measured and compared between these two different stimuli.

Endoscopic transcanal management of tympanosclerosis.

Objectives: The objectives of this study are to describe our experiences in endoscopic transcanal management of tympanosclerosis, to explain our surgical approaches to reconstruct the sound conduction system and to analyze the hearing results obtained with our surgical approaches.

Study Design: A retrospective cohort study, using medical records of 28 cases that underwent endoscopic transcanal tympanoplasty surgery due to tympanosclerosis from January 2016 to January 2020.

Settings: Private otology clinic PATIENTS: Twenty-eight ears of 26 patients were enrolled into study.

Prognostic role of homeostasis model assessment and oral glucose tolerance test in nondiabetic patients with Bell’s palsy.

Background/aim: We aimed to revealthe incidence and predictive role of insulin resistance and distorted oral glucose tolerance test in nondiabetic patients withBell’s Palsy (BP).

Materials And Methods: Eighty-sixpatients with BP and 28 control subjects; all with normal blood glucose levels and no history of diabetes, were enrolled in the study. We investigated insulin resistance (IR) in all subjects, in terms of HOMA-IR greater than 2.

Addition of intratympanic steroid or hyperbaric oxygen treatment to systemic steroid treatment in sudden idiopathic sensorineural hearing loss treatment, and long-term results of salvage treatment.

Background/aim: This study aims to determine the therapeutic superiority of the addition of intratympanic steroid or hyperbaric oxygen therapy to systemic steroid treatment in idiopathic sudden sensorineural hearing loss as initial treatment, and evaluate the long- term results of salvage treatment.

Materials And Methods: This study was a retrospective clinical trial with a total of 96 patients with idiopathic sudden sensorineural hearing loss. Patients were divided into 3 groups.
