Objectives: In this study, the damage caused by button batteries (BB) trapped in the ear canal (EC) and strategies to reduce this damage before their removal were investigated .
Methods: After four EC models prepared from freshly frozen cadaveric bovine ears were thawed, 3 V lithium BBs were placed in the channels. After a three-hour period of preliminary damage, nothing was applied to the first EC model, the second EC model underwent saline administration, the third EC model underwent boric acid administration, and the fourth EC model underwent the administration of 3% acetic acid.
Background: Apert syndrome is a genetic disorder characterized by craniofacial abnormalities and premature closure of the coronal sutures. The restriction of cranial development may have a subsequent effect on paranasal anatomy development.
Aim: The aim of the study was to gain an understanding of paranasal sinus anatomical variations seen in children with Apert syndrome.
Introduction: Apert syndrome is a multisystem genetic disorder typically characterized by craniosynostosis and syndactyly. Studies also report an increased incidence of hearing loss in children with Apert syndrome in comparison to the general population. The aim of this study was to gain an understanding of the inner ear radiological anatomical variations seen in children with Apert syndrome and correlate these with audiological outcomes.

Methods: The study included 224 otolaryngology physicians who were senior residents registered with the Turkish Otolaryngology and Head-Neck Surgery Association (TORL-HNS). The physicians were in their last two years of otolaryngology training (154 physicians) or had completed their residency training and were in their first year of otolaryngology practice (70 physicians).
Background: Luxation of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is an acute condition associated with translocation of the condylar joint out of its functional position. Traumatic causes are more common in childhood, while non-traumatic causes are very rare.
Clinical Presentation: A 6-month-old patient was brought to a rural hospital emergency department with the inability to close her mouth.
Various graft materials and surgical methods are used in the treatment of tympanic membrane perforations. The aim of this study was to evaluate the operation method and graft success of extended perichondrial butterfly myringoplasty performed by an endoscopic method and the hearing gain of patients. This was a retrospective study evaluating the hearing tests of 54 ears of 48 patients (28 male, 20 female) who underwent surgery between February 2017 and March 2019.

Despite considerable improvements in both diagnosis and treatment, tongue squamous cell carcinoma (TSCC) has remained one of the most lethal types of cancer. Here, we aimed at identifying a salivary microRNA (miRNA) expression signature specific for TSCC patients.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFObjective: Pathophysiology of tinnitus known to accompany nearly all disorders in hearing system has not been fully understood, and therefore, there are some difficulties in evaluation and treatment thereof. The objective of the current study is to research the effectiveness of transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) application in treatment of tinnitus.
Materials And Methods: Sixty patients aged between 15 and 70 years who applied to a polyclinic of Ear-Nose-Throat Department, Cerrahpasa Medical Faculty, Istanbul University, because of the complaint of tinnitus between January 2009 and July 2009 were selected using simple random sampling method.
