Retrospective Evaluation of a Novel Nasal Tip Suture Technique.

Nasal tip surgery is a crucial aspect of rhinoplasty in which suture techniques play a significant role. Early suturing techniques focused primarily on repositioning alar cartilage remnants after they had undergone significant resection. The size, contour, and orientation of the medial and lateral crura are primary factors in creating a tip shape.

Risk factors for therapy failure after surgery for perianal abscess in children.

Purpose: The role of surgery in managing perianal abscesses in the pediatric population is debatable, and data on recurrence risk is rare. This study aimed to evaluate the efficiency of surgery for a perianal abscess in children and identify parameters that predict recurrence.

Methods: We performed a retrospective review of all children younger than age 14 requiring surgery for a perianal abscess from 2000 to 2018.

Clinical Interpretation of Positional Nystagmus Provoked by both Dix-Hallpike and Supine Head-Roll Tests.

Background: Both the Dix-Hallpike test and the supine head-roll test can provoke positional nystagmus in a group of benign paroxysmal positional vertigo patients, including but not limited to those with multiple canal involvement. This study aimed to determine the incidence and interpret the clinical significance of positional nystagmus provoked by both the Dix-Hallpike and the supine head-roll tests.

Methods: The results of video-nystagmography sessions recorded in the computer database that included both the Dix-Hallpike and the supine head-roll tests were examined.

Objective: To investigate subjective throat symptoms with the Qualities of Sore Throat Index (QuaSTI) in adults with nasal septum deviation.

Study Design: Prospective study.

Setting: Baskent University Ankara Hospital.

The Effect of Postmenopausal Osteoporosis on Middle Ear Resonance Frequency.

Background: The effect of postmenopausal osteoporosis on the middle ear mechano-acoustic system is unknown. The aim of this study is to investigate whether or not middle ear resonance frequency is affected in females with postmenopausal osteoporosis.

Methods: The study included postmenopausal women aged 45-60 years, separated into 2 groups as females with postmenopausal osteoporosis and healthy postmenopausal females (control group).
