Evaluation of Subjective and Objective Voice Characteristics in Patients With Bulimia Nervosa.

Objective: The present study aims to examine subjectively and objectively the voice changes in bulimia nervosa (BN) patients at different stages of treatment.

Method: The study was conducted with a study group including 10 patients followed up with a diagnosis of BN and a control group consisting of 10 healthy participants of a similar age group without eating disorders. The Reflux Symptom Index (RFS) was used for stroboscopic evaluation.

A rare case in childhood: Pott's puffy tumor developing secondary to frontal sinus osteoma.

Pott's puffy tumor is a rare and serious complication of frontal sinusitis, characterized by the development of osteomyelitis and subperiostal abscess in the frontal bone. Paranasal sinus osteomas are benign osteoblastic tumors, usually seen in the 3 and 4 decades of life. In this report, we present a case of Pott's puffy tumor due to frontal sinus osteoma in an adolescent male patient.

Longitudinal perioperative pain, neuromusculoskeletal complications and quality-of-life assessment in partial parotidectomy.

Aim: The aim of this study was to evaluate the pain, neuromusculoskeletal complications, and quality of life (QoL) in patients who had undergone partial parotidectomy (PP) for benign parotid tumors.

Patients And Methods: All patients were evaluated before (T0) and at 1 week (T1) and 1 month (T2) after surgery. The patients were assessed for cervical range of motion (ROM), neck pain (NRS), neuropathic pain (DN4), neck disability (NDI), facial disability (FDI), and the presence of facial neuropathy, and QoL.

Promoter region mutations of the telomerase reverse transcriptase (TERT) gene in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma.

Objective: The aim of the present study was to assess the prevalence of TERT promoter region mutations in tumor samples of patients with squamous cell carcinoma at different sites of the head and neck region and correlate it with patients' clinicopathologic data.

Study Design: Mutations in promoter region of the TERT gene were analyzed with polymerase chain reaction-based direct sequencing method using formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tumor samples of 189 HNSCCs. TERT promoter region mutations were assessed in terms of age, gender, location, smoking, alcohol consumption, and overall survival.

Comparison of uvulopalatopharyngoplasty and uvulopalatal flap in Turkish military personnel with primary snoring.

Objective: To compare the surgical results of uvulopalatopharyngoplasty (UPPP) and uvulopalatal flap (UPF) procedures in the treatment of primary snoring.

Materials And Methods: Two study groups were formed and UPPP and UPF procedures were performed. All patients were stratified according to the modified Friedman staging system.
