The Effect of Nystatin Solution on Otoacoustic Emissions in Rats.

Objective: In patients with a perforated tympanic membrane, topically administered medication reaches the middle ear and thus creates a risk of ototoxicity. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the possible ototoxic effect of the antifungal medication nystatin when administered to the rat middle ear cavity.

Materials And Methods: Three groups (negative control, positive control, and study groups), each containing eight rats, were formed.

Palatine tonsil volume estimation using different methods after tonsillectomy.

This study was carried out to measure the volume of the palatine tonsil in otorhinolaryngology outpatients with complaints of adenotonsillar hypertrophy and chronic tonsillitis who had undergone tonsillectomy. To date, no study has investigated palatine tonsil volume using different methods and compared with subjective tonsil size in the literature. For this purpose, we used three different methods to measure palatine tonsil volume.

Experimental autotransplantation and cryopreservation of the thyroid gland.

Background: The purpose of this study was to investigate the functionality of autotransplanted thyroid tissues immediately or after cryopreservation in rabbits.

Methods: The study was completed with 12 rabbits randomized in 2 groups. Preoperative scintigraphies were performed for all subjects.
