A spot review on relations between socioeconomic aspect and clinical recurrence of cholesteatoma.

Background: This study investigates the relationship between the recurrence of Chronic Otitis Media with Otorrhea (ChOLE) and patient-related factors, surgical procedures, and elements. It involved 190 patients and aimed to identify significant relationships between demographics, condition severity, surgical approaches, comorbidities, problem classification, hygiene practices, and education level. Statistical analyses, including Chi-Square tests, were used to determine these connections.

Paediatric rhinolith: Case report and literature review.

Introduction: Rhinolithiasis, the presence of nasal stones, is uncommon in children. It can pose a diagnostic challenge because of the unusual presentation and difficulties associated with its identification.

Presentation Of Case: This article describes a 2-year-old boy who came to our clinic with his parents complaining of foul-smelling nasal discharge, which was unilateral and greenish in color.

Reliability and validity of the Arabic version of the brief version of the Questionnaire of Olfactory Disorders.

Background: An accessible self-assessment questionnaire is needed to evaluate quality of life in olfactory dysfunction. The need to address this gap led to the development of the brief version of the Questionnaire of Olfactory Disorders (brief QOD), which holds particular value in the context of telemedicine.

Objectives: The aim of this study is to examine the reliability and validity of the Arabic brief QOD.

Measurement of Nasal Skin Thickness and Body Mass Index in Preoperative Rhinoplasty Patients Utilizing Computed Tomography Scanning and Ultrasound Techniques: A Prospective Comparative Study.

One of the most important indicators of rhinoplasty success is nasal skin thickness. Nasal thickness can lead to irregularities over the osseocartilaginous framework among patients with thin nasal skin and difficulty making tip work changes in patients with thick nasal skin. This study aimed to compare different objective methods.

Validation and cross-cultural adaptation of the Arabic version of the self-reported mini olfactory questionnaire (Self-MOQ).

Background: A simple self-assessment screening questionnaire for olfactory dysfunction is direly needed in Rhinology practice, and this questionnaire should be accessible to affected individuals. The self-reported mini olfactory questionnaire (Self-MOQ), constructed to fill this gap, could be an important tool, especially in the era of telemedicine.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to assess the validity and reliability of the Arabic version of the self-reported mini olfactory questionnaire (Self-MOQ) in patients with olfactory dysfunction.

Demographic and clinical profile of patients with chronic rhinosinusitis in Saudi Arabia.

Objectives: To determine the clinical features of patients with chronic rhinosinusitis at a tertiary hospital in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

Methods: A cross-sectional study was carried out at King Abdulaziz University Hospital, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. We enrolled 660 male and female participants with medical records indicating a history of chronic rhinosinusitis between 2021 and 2022.

The Association Between Nasal Skin Thickness and Body Mass Index in Preoperative Rhinoplasty Patients: A Prospective Study.

Objectives: Skin quality plays a major role in aesthetics, particularly in determining the success of rhinoplasty. Efficient preoperative estimation of nasal skin thickness can improve postoperative results and patient satisfaction. This study aimed to report on the relationship between nasal skin thickness and body mass index (BMI) as a possible tool to measure skin thickness preoperatively among rhinoplasty patients.

Incidence of Olfactory Dysfunction in Patients with COVID-19 in a Tertiary Hospital in Saudi Arabia.

Background: Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2, a novel virus that emerged in China in December 2019. In many cases of COVID-19, olfactory dysfunction (OD) is the only symptom.

Objectives: This study aimed to examine the incidence of OD in patients with COVID-19 and identify an association between OD and COVID-19-related morbidity and admission.

Facial Angles in Arabian Women Seeking Rhinoplasty.

The purpose of this study is to determine the average values of the angular nasal anthropometric variables in Arabian women seeking rhinoplasty and compare them with the normal values. A total of 150 female patients, who underwent rhinoplasty between January 2018 and November 2021, were enrolled in this study. The exclusion criteria were a history of nasal trauma, previous rhinoplasty, and a cleft nose.

Pregnancy-Related Giant Nasal Mass: A Diagnostic Dilemma.

Pregnancy-related giant nasal masses often present a diagnostic challenge and clinical dilemma due to the obvious restrictions in utilizing imaging and general anesthesia during pregnancy. Therefore, we highlight the importance of clinical judgment, especially during pregnancy, and should not disregard certain clinical cues. In addition, we recommend an in-office polypectomy for giant nasal polyps worsening during pregnancy and nasal steroids to optimize their quality of life while avoiding systemic medications or further interventions.

Validation and inter-rater reliability testing of the Arabic version of speech intelligibility rating among children with cochlear implant.

Objectives: To validate and assess the reliability of the new version of an Arabic speech intelligibility rating among di erent raters.

Methods: This cross-sectional analysis was carried out between December 2018 and January 2019. Thirty cochlear-implant (CI) children (study group) and 30 subjects (control group) were enrolled.

Inter-rater Reliability and Validity of the Arabic Version of Categories of Auditory Performance-II (CAP-II) Among Children With Cochlear Implant.

Background: Categories of Auditory Performance II (CAP-II) is an established audiological test that consists of a rating scale that can be used for prospective assessment of the auditory performance of cochlear implant (CI) recipients.

Objective: To create and validate an Arabic version of Categories of Auditory Performance scale II (CAP-II), and to evaluate its reliability.

Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 30 post-CI children (patients' group) along with 30 control subjects were included.

After a first prelingually deaf child, does the family learn a lesson?

Background: Congenital sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) is a common disability in children. It can affect normal language development and educational achievement. Today, the time to cochlear implant is delayed for many children, which in turn delays intervention and impacts outcomes.

Effect of Obesity on Cognitive Function among School Adolescents: A Cross-Sectional Study.

Objectives: Childhood obesity contributes to the risk of numerous health problems and has become a major global health concern. This study aimed to establish the association between obesity and cognitive function among healthy school adolescents.

Methods: This study was carried out by taking school adolescents (n = 400) from June 2016 to December 2017.

Glycine Transporter 1 Encephalopathy From Biochemical Pathway to Clinical Disease: Review.

Glycine transporter 1 encephalopathy (OMIM# 617301; glycine encephalopathy with normal serum glycine, GLYT1 transporter dysfunction, and nonketotic hyperglycinemia) is caused by mutations in the gene. To date, 6 cases have been reported in the literature, characterized as having neonatal onset, respiratory failure that required mechanical ventilation, severe hypotonia at birth that progressed to limb hypertonicity, and startle-like responses provoked by sudden loud noises and tactile stimulation. Additional characteristics included dysmorphic features, musculoskeletal abnormalities, and abnormal antenatal findings.
