First emerging objective experimental evidence of hearing impairment following subarachnoid haemorrhage; Felix culpa, phonophobia, and elucidation of the role of trigeminal ganglion.

The exact mechanism of phonophobia induced by subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) has not been understood well. This subject was investigated. This study was conducted on 25 rabbits.

Cystic isolated lymphoma of the base of the tongue: A case report.

Isolated lymphoma of the base of the tongue is a relatively rare condition. The clinical presentation may vary from a submucosal mass with a cystic appearance to an ulcerated lesion. In the present case, a cystic mass was identified in a patient admitted with a sore throat.

Congenital Sialolipoma in an Infant.

Sialolipoma is a newly recognized tumor of the major and minor salivary glands and represents only 0.3% of all salivary gland tumors. Only 3 cases of congenital sialolipoma are available in the literature.

The role of vagal nerve root injury on respiration disturbances in subarachnoid hemorrhage.

Aim: We examined whether there is a relationship between vagal nerve root injury and the severity of respiration disorders associated with subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH).

Material And Methods: This study was conducted on 20 rabbits. Experimental SAH was induced by injecting homologous blood into the cisterna magna.

The double-edged sword: effects of pregabalin on experimentally induced sciatic nerve transection and crush injury in rats.

Aim: The aim of this study was to research the effects of pregabalin on experimentally induced peripheral nerve crush injuries in rats.

Material And Method: Forty-two adult female Wistar albino rats were divided into seven groups: 1st group: healthy; 2nd group: axonotmesis control; 3rd group: anastomosis control; 4th group: axonotmesis+30 mg/kg of pregabalin; 5th group: axonotmesis+60 mg/kg of pregabalin; 6th group: anastomosis+30 mg/kg of pregabalin; 7th group: anastomosis+60 mg/kg of pregabalin. Evaluation of the sciatic functional index (SFI) was performed one day before and on days 7, 14, 21, and 28 following surgery.

Neuroprotective effect of acute interferon-beta 1B treatment after spinal cord injury.

Aim: The purpose of this trial was to investigate the effect of a well known immunomodulator -interferon beta- on traumatized spinal cord in terms of biochemical and histopathological features.

Material And Methods: Twenty-four rats were used in this trial. The rats were divided into 3 groups.

Glomuvenous malformations in the buccal area.

Glomuvenous malformations (GVMs) are relatively rare lesions in the head and neck area. A 30-year-old woman presented to our clinic with a large mass on the right buccal area with tenderness and hypersensitivity to palpation. The lesion was excised totally under general anesthesia.

The protective effect of dehydroepiandrosterone on ovarian tissues after torsion-detorsion injury: a stereological and histopathological study.

Objective: Ovarian torsion is a rare problem in pre-pubescent girls that must be included in the differential diagnosis of patients with abdominal or pelvic pain. Current advice for treatment to support ovary preservation considers the macroscopic appearance of the ovary, but this is not a reliable indicator of the degree of injury in cases of ovarian torsion. The aim of this study was to determine the effects of dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) treatment on the rat ovary after torsion-detorsion injury using a histopathological approach and stereological methods.

P53, bcl-2, ki-67 li (labeling index) status in benign, proliferative, and malignant ovarian surface epithelial neoplasms.

Objective: Approximately 50% of human malignancies present with mutations in p53, which is the most common tumor suppressor gene involved with human malignancies. Bcl-2 is a protooncogene, and expression of its protein product is associated with a better prognosis in several malignancies. Ki-67 is a marker of cellular proliferation.
