Acoustic and perceptual voice parameters in subclinical and overt primary hypothyroidism.

Objective: Hypothyroidism is a common endocrine disorder affecting various systems of the body. Only a few studies have focused on the effect of primary hypothyroidism on voice with objective parameters, and none of them compared the effect of subclinical and overt hypothyroidism on voice. The aim of the present study is to evaluate and compare the acoustic and perceptual parameters of voice in patients newly diagnosed with subclinical and overt hypothyroidism.

The effect of nasal septum deviation on voice aging.

Purpose: The aging process of the voice differs among individuals, and the factors that affect age-related changes in voice are not well-defined. In this study, we investigated the difference between older people with nasal septum deviation (NSD) and older people without NSD in terms of degree of aging voice using objective and subjective voice assessment tools.

Methods: The study included 94 patients (47 women, 47 men) aged >65 years.

Association Between Nasal Obstruction Symptoms and Anxiety.

Aim: The aim of this study was to determine the correlation between nasal function assessment and anxiety scales.

Methods: A total of 120 patients with the complaint of nasal obstruction were classified as nasal septum deviation group (DNS) and no nasal pathology group (NON). A control group was formed of 57 healthy participants.

Protective Effect of Aerobic Exercise on the Nasal Mucosa of Rats Against the Histopathologic Changes in Cigarette Smoke Exposure.

Introduction: Smoking is a public health problem that has been proven to have adverse effects on human health. Aerobic exercise has positive effects on the human body, especially on the respiratory system.

Objective: The aim of this experimental animal model study was to determine whether regular aerobic exercise has a protective effect against the harmful effects of cigarette smoke on the nasal mucosa of rats.

Comparison of the Effects of 2 Surgical Techniques Used in the Treatment of Concha Bullosa on Olfactory Functions.

Introduction: Concha bullosa (CB), which is pneumatization of the concha, is one of the most commonly seen anatomic variations of the lateral nasal wall.

Objective: To investigate the effects on olfactory function of lateral turbinectomy and crushing methods used in the surgical treatment of CB.

Methods: The study included a total of 47 patients operated on for a diagnosis of CB and nasal septum deviation.

Protective effect of aerobic exercise on the vocal folds against cigarette smoke exposure.

Purpose: Laryngeal pathologies due to cigarette smoking vary among individuals, whereas some smokers remain disease free. These differences can be explained by multiple factors among individuals. In this context, an animal study was designed to determine if there is any protective effect of aerobic exercise against the detrimental effects of cigarette smoke on laryngeal tissues.

Nasal dorsal mucous cyst formation: a rare and preventable complication of rhinoplasty.

Nasal dorsal mucous cyst formation after rhinoplasty is a rare and preventable complication in otorhinolaryngology literature. To prevent this complication bony, cartilage, and mucous remnants should be removed meticulously. Maintaining mucosal integrity during cartilage incisions and osteotomy and completing all osteotomies are very important in preventing mucous cyst formation.
