Giant parathyroid adenoma presenting with multiple pathologic fractures: A case report.

Key Clinical Message: Hyperparathyroidism is a common endocrine disorder, which must be suspected in patients presenting with fatigue, history of pathologic fracture and the diagnosis can be confirmed by elevated calcium and PTH levels, and the preferred treatment option.

Abstract: Primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT), a common endocrine condition, with elevated parathormone production causes increased blood calcium levels. Parathyroid adenomas cause the majority of PHPT cases.

Comparison of vestibular rehabilitation on balance function in cochlear implant recipients.

Cochlear Implantation (CI) is an effective surgical approach to rehabilitate the deaf patients. However, the insertion of an electrode into the cochlea may have an adverse effect on vestibular receptors, resulting in vertigo or dizziness. The present study is aimed to investigate the impacts of vestibular rehabilitation therapy (VRT) exercises on dizziness symptoms of patients who underwent CIlimb.

Investigating the Effects of Vestibular Rehabilitation on Balance Function in Cochlear Implant Recipients.

Background: Cochlear Implantation (CI) is an effective surgical approach to rehabilitate the severe to profound hearing-impaired patients. However, the insertion of CI electrodes into the cochlea may adversely affect vestibular receptors, resulting in vertigo or dizziness. The present study aimed to investigate the impacts of Vestibular Rehabilitation Therapy (VRT) exercises on dizziness symptoms of patients who underwent CI.

Prevalence of rhinovirus and respiratory syncytial virus among patients with chronic rhinosinusitis.

Background: Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is one of the most common chronic illnesses, but the etiology and pathogenesis of CRS are not well understood. Few studies have been carried out on the role of viruses in patients with chronic sinusitis so far.

Objectives: Regarding the high number of patients, we intended to evaluate the prevalence of rhinovirus and respiratory syncytial virus in patients with CRS.

Can clonidine as a pre-anaesthetic drug decrease bleeding during rhinoplasty surgery?

Clonidine is an antihypertensive drug which acts through facilitation of Alph-2 post-synaptic receptors and in addition to its antihypertensive, anti-anxiety and analgesic effects, its beneficial effects in reducing the bleeding during Neurosurgery and Orthopedics surgeries, delicate surgeries of ear and nasal and sinus endoscopy have been proved. In this study we discuss the effects of this drug in reducing bleeding during rhinoplasty surgery. A double-blinded clinical trial 80 patients have been conducted 40 patients received 5 µg/Kg of oral Clonidine, and 40 patients where placebo.

Sinonasal headaches and post-operative outcomes after septoplasty in patients with nasal septal deviation.

Introduction: Investigators believe that anatomical abnormalities in the sinonasal region can be the cause of some chronic and refractory headaches that may respond well to surgical intervention. This study presents the prevalence of headache in patients with nasal septal deviation and their response to surgical treatment over a 2-year follow-up period.

Materials And Methods: This descriptive and prospective study was conducted on 98 patients with nasal septal deviation who underwent septoplasty surgery in the Imam Hospital in Ahwaz.

Pathologic fractures: a neglected clinical feature of parathyroid adenoma.

The pattern of clinical presentation of primary hyperparathyroidism (pHPT) has changed dramatically from a severe disease to an asymptomatic condition in Western countries. The story is completely different in Eastern countries. Bone and joint related sign and symptoms like bone pain and multiple fractures are common in these patients.

Foreign body aspirations in infancy: a 20-year experience.

Objective: Foreign body aspirations comprise the majority of accidental deaths in childhood. Diagnostic delay may cause an increase in mortality and morbidity in cases without acute respiratory failure. We report our diagnostic and compare the relevant studies available in literature to our results.
