Article Synopsis
- Nasal bone fractures are a common injury often resulting from violence, traffic accidents, falls, and sports injuries, with violence being the most frequent cause in this study (41.5%).
- The research involved 41 patients with nasal fractures and a control group of 43 individuals, neither of whom had prior psychiatric disorders, using questionnaires to assess personality traits, impulsivity, and ADHD.
- Findings indicated that patients with nasal fractures exhibited higher levels of psychoticism and impulsivity compared to the control group, while there was no significant difference in ADHD symptoms between the two groups.
Article Synopsis
- The study assessed the impact of Rhinapi nasal spray on allergic rhinitis symptoms among 10,000 participants in Turkey over a 3-week period.
- The treatment led to significant improvements in total symptom scores, quality of life (QoL) scores, and otolaryngological examination scores, with statistically significant changes before and after usage.
- The findings suggest that Rhinapi effectively reduces symptoms of allergic rhinitis and can be considered as an additional treatment option for those affected.
Background: Paramedics who perform patient triaging in case of a mass casualty incident generally receive triage training during their undergraduate educational program. Triage training can be facilitated using various simulation modalities together with theoretical training.
Objectives: The aim of this study is to determine the effectiveness of online scenario-based Visually Enhanced Mental Simulation (VEMS) on developing the casualty triage and management skills of paramedic students.
Culturally modified olfactory test adapted to East-Turkey: A comparison with Sniffin' Sticks.
Int J Clin Pract
September 2021
Background: Although the "Sniffin' Sticks" test (SST) is a widely used odor test, aplicability of odor tests is limited because of the high cost of the test and the regional-cultural differentiation of odor recognition. We aimed to evaluate our regional odor norms by applying the SST with a Modified odor test (MOT) we created for this study, and to develop a test similar to the SST, which was less expensive and probably had a higher odor definition for our region.
Methods: This study includes 201 healthy volunteers: 91 men and 110 women over the age of 18 were included in the study.
Introduction: Adenoidectomy and adenotonsillectomy are very common operations in childhood. It is important to clarify their effects on this age group; in this study, we aimed to investigate the effects of the causative agent on children's mental health by using scales that help to screen for indications of mental disorders in children, who have had adenoidectomy or adenotonsillectomy, both before and after surgery. In this way, we aimed to investigate the effects of this factor on children's mental health.
