Successful localization of abnormal parathyroid tissue with ultrasound-guided methylene blue dye injection before surgery for metastatic or recurrent thyroid cancers and parathyroid adenomas.

Objectives: A surgery to be performed on a previously operated neck includes difficulties such as increased risk of complications and prolonged operation time. The aim of the present study is to analyze the benefit of pre-anesthetic ultrasound-guided injection of methylene blue into parathyroid adenomas and abnormal lymph nodes to simplify their safe and satisfactory extraction.

Methods: We analyzed the case series records of 14 patients who were operated for reoperative neck surgery due to recurrent thyroid cancer (8 patients) and parathyroid adenoma (6 patients) and in the technique; 0.

In this article, the authors aimed to share our experience and review the literature on endonasal endoscopic intervention for a maxillary sinus schwannoma. A 30-year-old Caucasian female patient applying to ophthalmology clinic due to exophthalmos and proptosis in her left eye for the last 6 months.

The effect of the severity of COVID-19 on the sequelae of the audiovestibular system.

The neurotropic and neuroinvasive properties of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) have been described. It remains unknown how SARS-CoV-2 affects the audiovestibular system when it causes mild or severe disease. In this study, the sequelae effect of SARS-CoV-2 on the audiovestibular systems of different patient groups was investigated using objective and subjective test batteries.

Effects of the COVID-19 Pandemic on Pediatric Nasal Fractures.

Objectives: Nasal bone fracture is a frequent entity consulted to the otolaryngologists, approximately accounting for 39% of all facial bone fractures. The most frequent mechanisms of injury consist of assault, sport-related injuries, falls, and motor vehicle accidents. In this study, we examined the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on pediatric nasal fractures.

Coblation cryptolysis method in treatment of tonsil caseum-induced halitosis.

Purpose: Halitosis, is a social problem affecting many patients seeking help from clinicians. Tonsil stones can cause halitosis and especially occur in crypts of palatine tonsils. Coblation cryptolysis is an alternative method for tonsil caseum treatment.

The effects of acute hypoxia on audition: An experimental study.

Objective: Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) is a health problem that has increasing importance in society. In the literature, many studies about an audition in patients with OSAS are present. In this study, the effects of hypoxia on an audition that develop during the apnea attacks in OSAS were investigated experimentally.

Evaluation of cochlear functions in infants exposed to SARS-CoV-2 intrauterine.

Purpose: The novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) caused an acute respiratory illness named COVID-19 and the disease spread all over the World. Fever, cough, fatigue, gastrointestinal infection symptoms form the main clinical symptoms. Pregnants and newborns form a vulnerable population and urgent measures must be addressed.

Endoscopic Transoral Resection of Parapharyngeal Osteoma: A Case Report.

Osteoma is a benign, mesenchymal, slow-growing, osteogenic tumor commonly occurring in the craniofacial bones and is characterized by the proliferation of compact or cancellous bone. Solitary osteomas can be classified as peripheral (parosteal, periosteal, or exophytic) when arising from the periosteum or central (endosteal) when arising from soft tissue. Peripheral osteoma occurs most frequently in the paranasal sinuses.

The effect of adenoid hypertrophy on maxillofacial development: an objective photographic analysis.

Background: Deformity in the dental arc and facial skeleton by adenoid hypertrophy due to chronic mouth breathing is a well-known process. Most of the related studies have been based on cephalometric analyses. The aim of this study is to detect the presence of skeletal deformities on the soft tissue by analyzing distances and angles on photographs.
