Article Synopsis
- - The study examined the effectiveness of three types of nasal irrigation sprays in 1,700 adults with allergic rhinitis, comparing hypertonic nasal spray, algae-containing hypertonic nasal spray, and isotonic saline nasal spray over a 3-week period.
- - Results showed that the hypertonic sprays (both types) significantly improved symptom and quality of life scores compared to the saline group, which only showed minor improvements in turbinate condition.
- - Both hypertonic sprays resulted in lower total symptom scores and improved quality of life, indicating they could be valuable additions to standard allergic rhinitis treatment.
Article Synopsis
- The study assessed the impact of Rhinapi nasal spray on allergic rhinitis symptoms among 10,000 participants in Turkey over a 3-week period.
- The treatment led to significant improvements in total symptom scores, quality of life (QoL) scores, and otolaryngological examination scores, with statistically significant changes before and after usage.
- The findings suggest that Rhinapi effectively reduces symptoms of allergic rhinitis and can be considered as an additional treatment option for those affected.

Objectives: The effects of different climatic conditions on the quality of life (QoL) of patients following septoplasty or septorhinoplasty were investigated.
Methods: A total of 89 patients (47 males and 42 females) underwent either septoplasty or septorhinoplasty during the summer (summer group, n = 42) or winter (winter group, n = 47) season. To assess QoL, SinoNasal Outcome Test (SNOT)-22, Nasal Obstruction Symptom Evaluation (NOSE) scale, and Visual Analogue Scale were used.
Objective: Post-operative success and patient satisfaction were assessed following septoplasty for mild to severe anterior septal deviation.
Methods: The study included patients with an anterior nasal septal deviation in the form of a 'C' shape and close to the nasal valve in the anterior septal area. Deviation severity was classified as severe (group 1), moderate (group 2) or mild (group 3).
Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of suturation (tonsillary fossa closure) plus Surgicel application on postoperative bleeding and pain after tonsillectomies performed using a classical dissection method.
Study Design: A prospective, randomized, double-blind, clinical trial was performed on 760 patients undergoing tonsillectomy or adenotonsillectomy during a 5-year period.
Methods: After excluding patients with hemorrhagic disorder, chronic disease, and peritonsillar abscess, both tonsils were removed via classic dissection technique (cold knife or blunt dissection) and then electrocauterized for hemostasis.
