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.
How do different climatic conditions affect the quality of life of patients following septoplasty or septorhinoplasty?
J Plast Reconstr Aesthet Surg

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: 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.
Introduction: The aim of this study was to establish how reliable a given tympanogram is in predicting the presence or absence of a middle ear effusion, and to provide new views for the diagnostic information of tympanometry. The use of tympanometric gradient in addition to static admittance is the focus of this study.
Materials And Methods: The authors enrolled 146 female and 129 male patients.
The effects of dexamethasone, bupivacaine and topical lidocaine spray on pain after tonsillectomy.
Int J Pediatr Otorhinolaryngol
July 2003
Objective: To compare the administration of bupivacaine hydrochloride, dexamethasone and lidocaine hydrochloride in decreasing post-tonsillectomy pain.
Methods: Eighty patients were enrolled in the study in ENT Clinic, Firat University, and in ENT Clinic Elaziğ SSK Hospital, Elaziğ (Turkey). Children between 6 and 14 years of age referred to our department for bilateral tonsillectomy for either recurrent tonsillitis or tonsillar hypertrophy.
Objectives: To examine the favorable effects of vitamin E on tympanic membrane perforations induced mechanically in guinea pigs.
Study Design: Bilateral tympanic membrane perforations of 1.8 mm were induced in 40 guinea pigs.
[The effect of lidocaine HCL aerosol on postoperative pain in tonsillectomy patients].
Kulak Burun Bogaz Ihtis Derg
October 2002
Objectives: We evaluated the efficacy of lidocaine hydrochloride aerosol on postoperative pain relief in patients undergoing tonsillectomy.
Patients And Methods: The study included 60 patients (25 females, 35 males; mean age 25.43 years; range 16 to 35 years) undergoing tonsillectomy.
The aim of this study was to investigate the role of cochlear damage caused by free oxygen radicals occurring as a result of exposure to noise and to determine the prophylactic effects of melatonin and methylprednisolone. Fifty male albino guinea pigs were randomly divided into five groups. All groups were exposed to 60 h of continuous wide band noise at 100+/-2 dB, except group I.
