Relationship of overexpression with prognostic parameters in papillary thyroid carcinoma.

Objectives: chromosomal rearrangement is frequently seen in thyroid cancer, and overexpression has been shown in the follicular variant of papillary thyroid carcinoma, but not in papillary thyroid carcinoma other than the follicular variant. The main aim of this study was to investigate the frequency of overexpression among papillary thyroid carcinoma and if there were any variants of papillary thyroid carcinoma with overexpression other than the follicular variant.

Methods: Immunohistochemical analysis of overexpression was performed using a monoclonal antibody in a series of 111 paraffin-embedded blocks of thyroid tumours.

Laryngeal Framework Surgical Anatomy: A Radiological Study.

Purpose: Awareness of variations in laryngeal anatomy among different age and gender groups is crucial during laryngeal framework surgery. The aim of this study is to demonstrate the relationship between gender and laryngeal radiologic morphometrics among different age groups and the applicability of important anatomical landmarks of laryngeal surgery.

Methods: Laryngeal images of 180 adult patients older than 18 years of age were obtained by computed tomography and assessed.

The promising role of Gelsolin expression to predict survival in patients with squamous cell carcinoma of the larynx.

Introduction: Gelsolin protein has important cellular functions, including cell motility and apoptosis. Altered gelsolin expression has been reported in several types of neoplasms, but clinicopathological features of gelsolin are currently unclear in patients with laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma.

Objectives: Our aim is to investigate the clinicopathological significance of gelsolin as a prognostic biomarker for laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma.

Single Center Experience in the Surgical Management of Primary Hyperparathyroidism.

Objectives: As calcium included as a part of routine laboratory screening early diagnosis of primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) has been increased. Surgical resection of parathyroid adenoma or hyperplasia still is the mainstay of the treatment for most PHPT patients. The aim of this study was to evaluate of the surgical outcomes of patients with PHPT that referred to our ENT department of our University Hospital for the last 6 years.

Methods: This was a retrospective bibliometric analysis that did not involve human participant.

Factors That May Affect Rating and Liking Scores of Septorhinoplasty Videos on YouTube.

Background: Despite the increasing use of videos on social media platforms such as YouTube that inform patients about conditions and procedures, it is an enigma how patients benefit from these videos. Although professional healthcare providers play an important role in this regard, there are no data on video characteristics that make a video useful, or likable by the audience. We aimed to investigate that factors make a septorhinoplasty video posted on YouTube successful.

The utilization of Chronic Otitis Media Questionnaire-12 in chronic otitis media with or without cholesteatoma.

Objective: This study aimed to compare patients who had chronic otitis media with and without cholesteatoma in terms of the quality of life related to health.

Methods: The Turkish version of the Chronic Otitis Media Questionnaire-12 (COMQ-12) was completed by totally 100 healthy subjects and 100 patients who had chronic otitis media (COM). The COM group was divided into cholesteatoma and without cholesteatoma [dry tympanic membrane perforation (TMP) and draining ear] groups.
