Effects of Diabetes and Hyperlipidemia in Physiological Conditions - A Review.

Background: Diabetes mellitus (DM) is an autoimmune manifestation defined by persistent hyperglycemia and alterations in protein, fatty substances, and carbohydrate metabolism as an effect of problems with the secretion of insulin action or both. Manifestations include thirst, blurred eyesight, weight loss, and ketoacidosis, which can majorly lead to coma. There are different types of diabetes according to class or by cellular level.

Endoscopic vs microscopic facial nerve decompression for traumatic facial nerve palsy: a randomized controlled trial.

Purpose: To explore a minimally invasive trans-canal endoscopic facial nerve decompression for traumatic facial nerve palsy and compare it with microscopic facial nerve decompression.

Methods: 35 and 38 patients underwent endoscopic and microscopic facial nerve decompression, respectively, for traumatic facial nerve palsy. Onset of symptoms, type of temporal bone fracture, day of surgical intervention following trauma, ossicular chain status and nature of insult to facial nerve were observed.

Antihyperlipidemic potential of diosmin in Swiss Albino mice with high-fat diet induced hyperlipidemia.

The aim of this study was to investigate the antihyperlipidemic potential of Diosmin (DS) in mice fed with a high-fat diet (HFD). Animals were divided in five groups (n = 6). The total duration of the study was 90 days split into two intervals.

Maximising Graft Take-Up in Type1 Tympanoplasty Using Peripheral Cartilage Ring and Perichondrium.

The aim of this study is to evaluate the results of closure of big central and subtotal perforation by Tympanoplasty using underlay technique with Composite graft of tragal perichondrium supported by a ring of cartilage peripherally. Our hypothesis was that the cartilage support offers an extremely reliable method for reconstruction of the tympanic membrane in cases of advanced middle ear pathology and Eustachian tube dysfunction and also revision cases. Prospective study of patients undergoing tympanoplasty in big central and subtotal perforation with graft supported by a ring of cartilage peripherally between June 2016 and August 2016.
