Outcomes of Endoscopic Powered Revision Dacryocystorhinostomy.

Objective of this study is to determine the etiology of patients applied with revision endoscopic dacryocystorhinostomy (DCR) and to evaluate the operation results.The patients were retrospectively evaluated in respect of demographic data, the time from primary to revision surgery, revision etiology, the use of bicanalicular silicone nasolacrimal tube (BNLT), the time to postoperative removal of the silicone tube, and the success of the revision surgery.The study included 27 patients applied with revision endoscopic DCR between January 2013 and January 2016.

Voice Onset Time for Turkish Stop Consonants in Adult Cochlear Implanted Patients.

The voice onset time is a temporal acoustic parameter defined as the time between the release of the oral constriction for plosive production and the onset of vocal fold vibrations. Hearing impairment is one of the factors that can effect the magnitude of voice onset time. Since voice onset time is a useful, noninvasive method for documenting the articulatory-phonatory aspects of vocal training during speech, we investigated voice onset time values for Turkish stop consonants in adult cochlear implanted patients in order to clarify the effect of CI and sequential hearing rehabilitation over voice onset time values.

Effects of omeprazole over voice quality in muscle tension dysphonia patients with laryngopharyngeal reflux.

Background: Laryngopharyngeal reflux (LPR) is the backflow of stomach contents above upper esophageal sphincter, into the pharynx, larynx, and upper aerodigestive system.

Objectives: In this study, effects of omeprazole over voice quality in muscle tension dysphonia with laryngopharyngeal reflux was ınvestigated.

Patients And Methods: Nine patients, 7 males and 2 females, aged between 27-43 (mean age:31) were included to this study.

Effectiveness of voice therapy in hyperfunctional dysphonia in adult patients.

Objectives: In this retrospective study, voice therapy results of adult patients with hyperfunctional voice disorders were discussed.

Patients And Methods: Ninety-one adult patients (59 females, 32 males; mean age: 37 years; range 18 to 54 years) who completed their voice therapy sessions between May 2002 and May 2007 were included in this study. The voice therapy plan was focused on developing competence in perception, tonus regulation, physiological breathing and physiological use of voice.
