Objectives: This study aims to examine the effects of autologous platelet-rich plasma (PRP), which increases new connective tissue synthesis and revascularisation, on healing in parotid surgery wounds, prevention of salivary fistula formation, drain removal time and hospitalisation in the postoperative period.
Materials And Methods: Fifty-four patients who had an operation on partial parotidectomy were randomised, and then two groups were created. PRP was obtained by centrifuging the blood taken from the patients in the study group at the end of the surgery.
Objectives: Rosuvastatin is an antihyperlipidemic statin group pharmacological agent with antioxidant, neuroprotective, and anti-inflammatory effects. In this study, we aimed to examine the functional, electrophysiological, and histopathological effects of rosuvastatin or in combination with corticosteroids on facial nerve regeneration in rats with traumatic peripheral facial paralysis (PFP).
Methods: PFP was induced in 28 female Sprague Dawley rats that we divided into 4 groups: group 1, control group; group 2, methylprednisolone group; group 3, rosuvastatin group; group 4, rosuvastatin and methylprednisolone group.
Objective: Substance P is a peptide from the tachykinin family, which is found in peripheral and central nervous systems, causing vasodilation and increased secretion in the nasal mucosa. In this study, we aimed to investigate whether the experimental model of allergic rhinitis will cause allergic changes in the larynx and to compare the effects of aprepitant, a substance P antagonist, on nasal symptoms in allergic rhinitis, and histopathological changes in the nasal and laryngeal mucosa with antihistamine and leukotriene receptor antagonists (LTRA).
Study Design: An experimental animal study.
