Evaluation of olfactory bulb volume and olfactory sulcus depth in patients with panic disorder and depressive disorder: An MRI study.

Background: Although some studies have shown decreases in the olfactory bulb (OB) volume and olfactory function in depressive disorder, there are no studies investigating OB volume in patients with panic disorder.

Aim: The aim of this study was to investigate whether there was a change in OB volume and olfactory sulcus (OS) depth in patients with panic and depressive disorder when compared with the control group, and which group was more affected by comparing the two disease groups.

Methods: Data of 51 patients with panic disorder and 56 patients with depressive disorder were obtained by scanning the database of the hospital retrospectively.

The effect of N95 and surgical masks on mucociliary clearance function and sinonasal complaints.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to reveal the effect of N95 and surgical masks on mucociliary clearance function and sinonasal complaints.

Methods: Sixty participants were enrolled in this study, including 30 people in N95 mask group and 30 people in surgical mask group. Two interviews, three days apart, were performed with all participants.

Comparison of two routes in nasal passage for transnasale flexible fiberoptic laryngoscopy.

Purpose: Present study compares two routes in nasal passage for transnasal flexible fiberoptic laryngoscopy (TNFFL).

Methods: Included in the study were 60 patients who were split equally into Group 1 and Group 2 and all underwent TNFFL. The tip of endoscope was introduced between the septum and inferior turbinate along the nasal floor in Group 1 and between the inferior turbinate and middle turbinate in Group 2.

Histopathological effects of septoplasty techniques on nasal septum mucosa: an experimental study.

Objective: The aim of this study is to evaluate the histopathological effects of septoplasty techniques on the nasal septal mucosa of rabbits with light and electron microscope.

Methods: The study was performed on 21 rabbits between August 2016 and February 2017. Rabbits were randomly divided into three groups.

Comparison of simultaneous systemic steroid and hyperbaric oxygen treatment versus only steroid in idiopathic sudden sensorineural hearing loss.

A retrospective chart review to assess the effectiveness of hyperbaric oxygen treatment in sudden sensorineural hearing loss. 44 patients aged between 17-67 years diagnosed with idiopathic sensorineural hearing loss less than 30 days were admitted to our clinic Patients were treated with systemic steroid alone or systemic steroid plus hyperbaric oxygen therapy. In the comparison of two groups, there was no statistically significant difference of audiometric evaluation (P>0.
