Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess von Willebrand Factor (vWF) levels in plasma and urine protein/creatinine ratios in patients with idiopathic sudden acute hearing loss believed to be due to epithelial dysfunction.
- Thirty patients with sudden hearing loss were compared to thirty healthy controls through blood and urine tests before treatment.
- Results indicated significantly higher vWF levels in patients, while urine protein/creatinine ratios were elevated but not significantly; patients responding to treatment had lower vWF and urine protein levels, suggesting potential endothelial dysfunction as a cause of hearing loss.
Objectives: We investigated the frequency of tinnitus in fibromyalgia patients and the effect of drugs used for routine fibromyalgia on tinnitus.
Methods: We included 101 diagnosed fibromyalgia patients. After detailed ear nose throat examination, audiometric tests and tinnitus handicap index (THI) were performed.
Background: In this study, we evaluated how the Merocel and nasal splint packing placed in the nose after septoplasty surgery affects the olfactory and mucociliary functions of the nose in the early period, and compared the 2 packing with each other.
Material And Method: The study included 60 patients with isolated septal deviation and 30 patients in the control group. The patients were randomly divided into 2 groups.
Aim: Brucellosis is a highly contagious zoonotic infection affecting livestock and human beings. This study aimed to investigate the prevalence of Brucella in raw milk collected from a provincial center and central villages in the Central Anatolian region.
Materials And Methods: This cross-sectional study was completed between March and September of 2016.
