The effect of maxillary sinus floor elevation with lateral antrostomy approach on nasal mucociliary functions.

Purpose: It is aimed to evaluate the effect of maxillary sinus elevation with lateral antrostomy approach on mucociliary functions using the saccharin test.

Methods: The study was planned prospectively. 29 patients who underwent maxillary sinus elevation were included in the study.

Comparison of Intratympanic Oxytocin and Dexamethasone in Cisplatin Ototoxicity: An Experimental Study.

Although it is widely used, there is still no valid treatment for ototoxicity caused by the antineoplastic drug cisplatin. In this study, we aimed to investigate the efficacy of intratympanic resveratrol and intratympanic dexamethasone treatment in cisplatin-induced ototoxicity. We also compared intratympanic atosiban (oxytocin antagonist) and oxytocin in cisplatin ototoxicity.

Radiological Evaluation of the Effect of Laryngopharyngeal Reflux on the Thickness of Inferior Turbinate, Maxillary Sinus Mucosa and Nasal Septal Body.

Background: We investigated the relationship between Laryngopharyngeal Reflux (LPR) and maxillary sinus mucosal thickness (MSMT), inferior turbinate mucosal thickness (ITMT), inferior turbinate width (ITW) and nasal septal body thickness (NSBT), which can be signs of chronic rhinosinusitis and allergic rhinitis.

Methods: The study, which included 87 patients, was designed as two groups. While 42 of the patients were included in the Laryngopharyngeal Reflux group, 45 were included in the control group.

Role of Microplastics in Chronic Rhinosinusitis Without Nasal Polyps.

Objective: We aimed to examine the relationship between chronic rhinosinusitis without nasal polyps and microplastics.

Methods: A total of 80 patients participated in this prospectively planned study. The patients were divided into two groups.

Evaluation of Clinical Features and Olfactory Functions in COVID-19: A Multicentre Study.

Introduction Coronavirus Disease-2019 (COVID-19) causes olfactory loss one of the initial diagnostic criteria. The brief smell identification test (BSIT) is an objective test frequently used in olfactory dysfunction. This study aimed to observe the changes in olfactory functions and clinical features in a short time in COVID-19.

Evaluation of the Effect of Conventional Rhinoplasty with Autospreader Flap and Let-Down Technique on Nasal Functions.

Let-down technique, in which high septal strip resection is performed, and conventional rhinoplasty using autospreader flaps were compared regarding nasal functions with Nasal Obstruction Symptom Evaluation (NOSE) and Sinonasal Outcome Test-22 (SNOT-22) quality-of-life scale questionnaires. A total of 54 patients who were included in the study were divided into two groups: group 1 (autospreader group;  = 27) and group 2 (let-down group;  = 27). Open technical septorhinoplasty operation using an autospreader flap was performed in group 1.

Comparison of nasal functional outcomes of let down rhinoplasty and open technical rhinoplasty using spreader graft.

Purpose: This study aimed to compare open technique rhinoplasty with spreader graft and Let Down rhinoplasty using Nasal Symptom Obstruction Evaluation (NOSE), Sinonasal Outcome Test-22 (SNOT-22), and Visual Analog Scale (VAS).

Materials And Methods: A total of 50 patients were included in the study. Patients with a hump greater than 4 mm and mild septal deviation participated in the study.

Efficacy of 2 Different Intratympanic Steroid Regimen on Prevention of Cisplatin Ototoxicity: An Experimental Study.

Ototoxicity is the general name of cochlear and vestibular organ injury resulting from encountering various therapeutic agents and chemical substances. Cisplatin is commonly used in the treatment of many cancers. In this study, the efficacy of intratympanic steroids was compared for preventing cisplatin ototoxicity.

Comparison of the protective efficacy between intratympanic dexamethasone and resveratrol treatments against cisplatin-induced ototoxicity: an experimental study.

Purpose: The main aim of this study was to compare the efficacy of intratympanic administration of dexamethasone and resveratrol in preventing cisplatin ototoxicity by measuring acoustic brainstem response (ABR) and distortion product otoacoustic emission (DPOAE).

Methods: Forty rats (80 ears) were divided into five groups. Cisplatin was administered intraperitoneally to the first group (n = 8).
