Clinical role of vitamin D, vitamin B12, folate levels and hematological parameters in patients with sudden sensorineural hearing loss.

Background: Sudden sensorineural hearing loss (SSNHL), which is frequently observed in otolaryngology clinics, is characterized by sudden onset hearing loss that can develop within hours or days. Its etiology is still not fully understood.

Aims/objectives: This research aims to identify prognostic biomarkers that can be utilized to assess the progress of SSNHL as well as circumstances that may predispose individuals to the disease.

Effects of Esterified Hyaluronic Acid, Adipose Tissue, and Blood Glue on Survival of Diced Cartilage Grafts.

Objectives: Diced cartilage grafts are used for correcting nasal dorsal deformities and irregularities. However, cartilage resorption is among most common problems after rhinoplasty. The purpose of this experimental study was to investigate the effects of esterified hyaluronic acid, adipose tissue, and blood glue on the viability of diced cartilage grafts.

The effects of 4-aminopyridine and methylprednisolone on recovery of the facial nerve crush injury.

Objective: 4-Aminopyridine (4-AP) is a potassium channel blocker that enhances nerve excitability. In this study, rat models that have facial nerve crush injury (FNCI) were grouped and treated with methylprednisolone (MP), 4-AP, and a combination of these two drugs. Electrophysiologic and histopathologic outcomes of these groups will be compared with a control group.

Rhinitis in patients with acquired hypothyroidism.

Objectives: Our aim was to evaluate the rhinological changes during hypothyroid and euthyroid periods in patients with acquired hypothyroidism.

Materials And Methods: The newly diagnosed 40 adult patients with hypothyroidism who presented to the Endocrinology clinic at a tertiary hospital were enrolled in the study. Patients having blood thyroid-stimulating hormone levels greater than 4.
