Objective: Intranasal analgesic sprays represent a safe, efficacious method for pain relief, with a shorter working time compared to oral painkillers. This study aimed to develop nasal sprays using commonly available over-the-counter analgesics, providing an alternative treatment option that is more convenient and potentially more effective in managing pain, particularly in pediatric patients.
Methods: Three different nasal spray formulations with the contents of diclofenac sodium, ibuprofen, and paracetamol were created, and characterization studies were completed.
Rationale And Objectives: This study aims to evaluate white matter microstructure integrity in patients diagnosed with presbycusis (age-related hearing loss) using diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) and to investigate the relationship between DTI parameters and hearing loss severity.
Materials And Methods: Patients aged 50 and above with presbycusis (pure-tone average [PTA] ≥20dB) were categorized as mild (PTA 20-34dB), moderate (PTA 35-49dB), or severe (PTA ≥50dB). Fractional anisotropy (FA), mean diffusivity (MD), axial diffusivity (AD), and radial diffusivity (RD) were measured in 16 white matter regions.
Objectives: This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of four-duct ligation following Botulinum toxin-A injections into the parotid and submandibular glands in pediatric patients with sialorrhea resistant to nonsurgical treatments. Prior research has individually explored either surgical or Botulinum toxin interventions; however, the safety and efficacy of the combined approach to these treatments have yet to be documented.
Methods: Patients were assessed before surgery and 6, 12, and 24 months post-operatively.
Background: Relationship between dysphagia and dehydration has not been studied widely. The aim of this study is to determine the frequency of dysphagia and dehydration in geriatric outpatient clinic, to evaluate the relationship between these two conditions.
Methods: The cross-sectional study included 1345 patients.
Background: Adequate nasal tip support is crucial for achieving both aesthetic and functional outcomes in rhinoplasty. This study introduces a wide-based columellar strut graft (WB-columellar strut graft) as a new modification to provide enhanced support for the nasal tip, especially in challenging ethnic and revision rhinoplasty cases.
Objective: To present and evaluate the effectiveness of the WB-columellar strut graft in providing sufficient nasal tip support and achieving satisfactory aesthetic outcomes in patients with ethnic noses, Asian noses, and revision rhinoplasty cases presenting with weak caudal septum or anterior nasal spine.
