Puropse: The aim of this study was to evaluate the sensory processing skills, quality of life and balance performance in adult cochlear implant users.
Methods: A sample of 40 individuals was studied in two groups; 20 normal hearing individuals (37.84 ± 15.
Introduction: Endoscopic approaches for skull base pathologies are increasingly being performed, and the subsequent complications, especially in the long term, have also been partially clarified. However, there is no information on the effects of endoscopic endonasal skull base surgeries (EESBS) in children on odor and facial development in parallel with long-term development. We conducted this study to investigate postoperative olfactory function and facial development in pediatric patients who underwent skull base surgery using the endoscopic endonasal method.

While there is broad acceptance that it is an important treatment goal, there has been inconsistency in the criteria used to define CRS control. The objective of this study was to identify and develop consensus around essential criteria for assessment of CRS disease control.

Article Synopsis
- Sinonasal neoplasms (both benign and malignant) are complex issues for clinicians, highlighting the need for collaboration to improve patient care, as presented in the International Consensus Statement on Allergy and Rhinology: Sinonasal Tumors (ICSNT).
- The ICSNT document organizes findings into four main sections: general principles, benign neoplasms, malignant neoplasms, and quality of life, covering 48 specific topics and providing evidence-based recommendations and summaries based on their rigor.
- This comprehensive document reflects a collective effort from an international team to advance understanding and intervention methods for sinonasal neoplasms, while also identifying future research opportunities.
Background: In recent years, it has been determined that SOT sensitivity is insufficient in patients who develop vestibular compensation and therefore the Head Shake Sensory Organization Test (HS-SOT) has been developed.
Research Question: How differs the balance performance of healthy adults that is tested with HS-SOT according to age and test planes? What is the test-retest reliability level of the HS-SOT in three planes?
Methods: Our prospective study, which has a methodological research design, included 80 participants divided into three groups by age range (Group 1: 20-39 years (n = 30); Group 2: 40-49 years (n = 30) and Group 3: 50-64 years (n = 20)). SOT and HSSOT ( yaw, pitch, roll) were performed to all participants.
