Assessment of Awareness, Source of Information, Motivational Factors, and Barriers for Rhinoplasty Among Young Females in Jordan: A Cross-Sectional Study.

Rhinoplasty, or nose job surgery (NJS), alters the nose's size, shape, or structure. It can fix congenital abnormalities, enhance breathing, or improve nose attractiveness. Due to Jordan's high financial standing, cultural influences, and trained surgeons, rhinoplasty is the most prevalent cosmetic surgery in the USA and Jordan.

Phenotypic Variability Influences Intra- and Inter-Familial Diagnosis and Management.

is one of the most common genes causing autosomal recessive non-syndromic sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL). It has been reported to cause Pendred Syndrome (PDS) and DFNB4 which is deafness with enlarged vestibular aqueduct (EVA). However, mutated is not conclusive for having either DFNB4 or PDS.

Retrosternal goiter masquerading as type II respiratory failure. A case report.

Introduction And Importance: Retrosternal Goiter (RG) represents a challenging clinical entity for surgeons. Although the vast majority of cases are successfully operated via a cervical access, there still remains a small minority that require an extra-cervical approach, even in experienced hands. Factors that shift the odds towards an extra-cervical approach are mainly related to the anatomic characteristics of the retrosternal mass.

The Quantum Tunneling of Ions Model Can Explain the Pathophysiology of Tinnitus.

Tinnitus is a well-known pathological entity in clinical practice. However, the pathophysiological mechanisms behind tinnitus seem to be elusive and cannot provide a comprehensive understanding of its pathogenesis and clinical manifestations. Hence, in the present study, we explore the mathematical model of ions' quantum tunneling to propose an original pathophysiological mechanism for the sensation of tinnitus.

Minimizing the Number of Aeroallergen Extracts in Skin Prick Test in IgE-Mediated Allergic Disorders in Both Adults and Children in Jordan.

Background: Skin prick test (SPT) is the most common diagnostic procedure that is performed considering the history of aeroallergen sensitivity among patients. Moreover, it is important to identify the diagnostic and therapeutic benefits of allergen's number in skin prick testing in both adults and children.

Objective: The present study aims to detect the minimum number of allergens used in SPT to identify 95% of sensitized patients in both pediatric and adult age groups in Jordan.

Extending the spectrum of CLRN1- and ABCA4-associated inherited retinal dystrophies caused by novel and recurrent variants using exome sequencing.

Background: Inherited retinal dystrophies (IRDs) are characterized by extreme genetic and clinical heterogeneity. There are many genes that are known to cause IRD which makes the identification of the underlying genetic causes quite challenging. And in view of the emergence of therapeutic options, it is essential to combine molecular and clinical data to correctly diagnose IRD patients.

Pediatric Endoscopic DCR: The Outcome in 50 Patients.

Congenital nasolacrimal duct obstruction is a very common condition affecting 20 % of infants. Pediatric DCR is indicated when there is no response to previous therapy like probing, or is associated with recurrent dacryocystitis. This is a retrospective case series study of 50 pediatric patients who underwent endoscopic DCR in two centers, Jordan University Hospital/Jordan, and Mosul teaching and private hospitals/Iraq.

Evaluation of dizziness at Jordan University Hospital.

Objective: This study was performed prospectively to evaluate the dizzy patients in the Neurotology Outpatient clinic at Jordan University Hospital, Amman, Jordan during the period 1993-2000 and to discuss the prevalence and etiology of dizziness.

Methods: Data were collected from 108 patients (52 males and 56 females) with a mean age of 45.6-years.
