Intraocular Pressure Changes After Rhinoplasty: A Before-and-After Cross-Sectional Study.

Background And Aims: Rhinoplasty, a prevalent cosmetic surgery, often involves lateral osteotomy, which can lead to ocular complications such as edema and ecchymosis. A potential complication is increased intraocular pressure (IOP) postoperatively. This study aims to investigate the impact of lateral osteotomy during rhinoplasty on IOP in patients.

Tracking the correlation of mineral intakes among family pairs over nine years: a longitudinal study.

Background: This study aimed to assess possible changes in mineral intake correlation between family pairs over time. Mineral intake was measured using a food frequency questionnaire.

Methods: FCOR command of the Statistical Analysis for Genetic Epidemiology software was used to determine the correlation coefficients of minerals in relative pairs.

The impact of a fairytale-like story on the food choices of preschool children.

The ongoing obesity epidemic is an indicator that traditional efforts towards diet change are insufficient, and interventions focusing mainly on restrictions of unhealthy food are of limited success. Therefore, approaches targeting food preferences should be integral in counteracting the current epidemic. However, food preferences are affected by a multitude of factors and are usually resistant to changes later in life.

Association Between Serum Thyrotropin and Cancer Recurrence in Differentiated Thyroid Cancer: A Population-Based Retrospective Cohort Study.

Levothyroxine to suppress thyrotropin (TSH) to <0.5 mIU/L following thyroidectomy in differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC) may reduce recurrence in higher-risk DTC. However, there is limited evidence to support guideline recommendations to maintain TSH in the low-normal range of 0.

Herbal Medicine and Voice Quality: Uncovering the Impact Through Acoustic Analysis.

Objective: Rutarin, an herbal formulation combining powdered seeds of Cydonia oblonga (quince) and aerial parts of Origanum majorana (marjoram), is used to address respiratory issues and enhance voice quality. This study investigates the effects of Rutarin on voice parameters, including fundamental frequency (F0), jitter, shimmer, harmonics-to-noise ratio (HNR), cepstral peak prominence (CPP), and smoothed cepstral peak prominence (CPPS).

Methods: Voice samples of 79 individuals who produced a sustained vowel /a/ were examined before and after consuming either Rutarin or warm water.
