Efficacy of Infliximab in Experimental Tracheal Stenosis.

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the efficacy of infliximab, a TNF-α inhibitor, on epithelial damage, inflammation, and fibrosis in experimental tracheal stenosis.

Methods: Rats were divided into 3 groups. In group 1 (the control group), no procedure was applied.

Analysis of the Cranial Aperture of the Optic Canal in Patients with Chiari Type-I Malformation.

Aim: To examine the morphological properties of the cranial aperture of the optic canal (CAOC) in patients with a Chiari type-I malformation (CIM).

Material And Methods: Radiological images of 40 patients with CIM (24 females/16 males, mean age: 20.75 ± 14.

Assessment of the Anterior Clinoid Process and Optic Strut in Chiari Malformation Type I: A Computed Tomography Study.

 This study aimed to evaluate morphological features of the anterior clinoid process (ACP) and the optic strut (OS) in Chiari malformation Type I (CM-I).  The study universe consisted of computed tomography images of 41 CM-I patients and 45 normal subjects. Comparison of the parameters for CM-I and the control group was performed with the Student's -test.

Analysis of the Prechiasmatic Sulcus in Chiari Malformation Type I.

Objective: To assess morphologic features of the prechiasmatic sulcus (PS) in Chiari malformation type I (CM-I).

Methods: Computed tomography images were obtained in patients with CM-1 (mean age: 21.26 ± 16.

Lip Anthropometry of Healthy Turkish Young Adults.

The lips play an important role in evaluating and recognizing the craniofacial complex and our perception of facial beauty and attractiveness. The aim of this study was to evaluate the anthropometric measurements of the lips of Turkish young adults and to look for sexual dimorphism. Anterior view photographs were taken of 100 females and 100 males who volunteered to participate in the study.

The Radiological Evaluation of the Crista Galli and Its Clinical Implications for Anterior Skull Base Surgery.

Introduction: Crista galli is extremely important in the endoscopic transcribriform approaches and some extradural approaches. Because of its clinical significance, the morphometric properties of crista galli should be well known. In this study, it was aimed to examine the morphometry and the pneumatization incidence of the crista galli in cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) images.
