An Evaluation of the Vestibular System in Individuals Aged 40-65 Years with Sensorineural Hearing Loss.

Objectives: Vestibular dysfunction occasionally accompanies sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) due to anatomical proximity of cochlea and vestibule. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the vestibular system objectively and subjectively in 40-to 65-year-old individuals with and without SNHL.

Methods: This study included participants of both sexes, between the ages of 40 and 65 years old.

Cloning and Expression of β-(1,3-1,4) Glucanase (Lichenase) Gene in Bacillus subtilis RSKK246 to create new Probiotic in aquaculture.

β-Glucan is an essential component of the cell walls of grains such as oats and barley. 1,3-1,4-β-D-glucan 4-glucanhydrolase (β-glucanase or lichenase) (EC 3.2.

Does endoscopic balloon dilatation improve intranasal drug delivery to the olfactory cleft? A pre-clinical cadaver feasibility study.

Background: Although systemic steroids have been shown to improve olfactory function, topical steroids have not demonstrated the same efficacy. This could a result of limited drug delivery to the narrow, superiorly placed olfactory cleft. This study aimed to examine the penetration of intranasal drugs to the olfactory cleft following endonasal balloon dilatation.

Endoscopic balloon dilatation of the olfactory cleft - a feasibility study of a novel technique in cadavers.

Objective: Smell dysfunctions are common with almost 20% percent of the population affected. There are no interventional solutions for these patients. The aim of this study is to investigate the feasibility and security of the balloon dilatation technique.

Effect of Distal Masseter to Facial Nerve Transfer in Paralytic Patients with Preserved Facial Nerve Continuity on Improving Scaled Measurement of Improvement in Lip Excursion (SMILE): A Vectoral Analysis.

Objective: Distal masseter-to-facial neurorrhaphy is an option to improve smile excursion in facial paralysis patients in the early period without truncating the facial nerve truncus and by ensuring the continuity of the facial nerve. This study aimed to study the effect of distal masseter-to-facial neurorrhaphy on smile excursion.

Methods: Charts of eight patients were retrospectively examined.
