Determining the prognostic value of CRP and neutrophil lymphocyte ratio in patients hospitalized for deep neck infection.

Objectives: This study aims to assess the impact of the Neutrophil/Lymphocyte Ratio (NLR) and C-Reactive Protein (CRP), both markers of systemic inflammation, on the duration of hospitalization for Deep Neck Infections (DNIs).

Methods: The research encompassed patients of all age groups admitted between January 2016 and January 2021 due to DNIs. Patient data, including demographic details, etiology, comorbidities, radiological findings, treatment specifics, laboratory results (CRP values, leukocyte counts, neutrophil counts, lymphocyte counts, NLR), culture outcomes, length of stay, complications, mortalities were retrospectively evaluated.

Effects of Surgical Timing on the Prognosis of Far Lateral Disk Herniation.

Aim: To evaluate the effects of surgical timing on the prognosis in far lateral disk herniations.

Material And Methods: We retrospectively evaluated 171 patients diagnosed with far lateral disk herniation who underwent surgery between 2015 and 2021. Patients were divided into three groups: Those operated within the first 3 weeks, within 3-6 weeks, and after 6 weeks.

Delayed-onset facial paralysis following cochlear implantation: a case study and comprehensive analysis.

Objectives: Cochlear implantation (CI) is a surgical intervention used to rehabilitate hearing in individuals, both pediatric and adult, with severe hearing loss. It is generally a safe procedure with rare postoperative complications. Facial nerve paralysis following cochlear implant surgery poses challenges in diagnosis and treatment.
