Assessing the auditory effects of oral chelation therapy drug Deferasirox in individuals with β-thalassemia major.
World J Otorhinolaryngol Head Neck Surg
December 2024
Objective: Our study aimed to investigate the ototoxicity associated with the iron chelator deferasirox in patients with β-thalassemia major, who were receiving regular transfusion therapy, along with evaluating the data on audiological tests using appropriate statistical tests.
Methods: A cross-sectional observational study was conducted on 100 transfusion-dependent β-thalassemia major patients on oral iron chelating agent-deferasirox. Pure tone audiometry (PTA) and distortion product otoacoustic emissions (DPOAE) was carried out in all patients to assess the auditory side effects of the drug.

Indian J Otolaryngol Head Neck Surg
December 2024
Article Synopsis
- A 60-year-old woman had multiple benign tumors in her minor salivary glands, which caused nasal obstruction, discharge, and postnasal drip.
- Diagnostic tests showed non-pulsating masses in her nasal cavity and nasopharynx, confirmed to be ectopic minor salivary glands through histopathology.
- The tumors were successfully removed using endoscopic surgery, leading to symptom resolution and no recurrence detected during follow-up, emphasizing the need for thorough clinical and diagnostic evaluations for nasal issues.
Introduction: Cardiomyopathy is a complex condition influenced by multiple genes and environmental factors. It has been suspected that cardiomyopathy is affected by the ACE gene's I/D polymorphism. Our study aimed to evaluate the association between this polymorphism and cardiomyopathy risk in the Jammu population of North India, alongside a meta-analysis to determine the specific risks associated with different types of cardiomyopathy.
