Article Synopsis
- Study focused on rhinitis medicamentosa, a condition caused by long-term decongestant use, examining treatment options between medication management and surgical intervention.
- A review of 47 patients showed that those who underwent inferior turbinate reduction had a significant decrease in decongestant usage and improved quality of life (measured by Sino-Nasal Outcome Test-22 scores).
- Conservative treatment, while helpful in reducing decongestant frequency, resulted in less improvement in quality of life compared to the surgical approach.
Objective: To examine associations of laboratory and imaging data with diagnostic parameters of necrotizing otitis externa (NOE) and its severity, and to compare between bacterial and fungal infections.
Methods: Records of patients diagnosed with NOE during 2010-2018 at the Department of Otolaryngology, Head and Neck Surgery were reviewed retrospectively for demographics; disease characteristics; and laboratory, scintigraphy, and imaging results.
Results: Of 48 patients with NOE, the mean age is 73±11.
Aims: To present our Institute's experience with intraoperative radiotherapy in this selected population by collecting and analyzing clinical data, including long-term follow-up.
Background: Breast-conserving therapy is the standard treatment for early-stage breast cancer. The treatment includes tumor resection and a whole breast irradiation.
