Streptococcal Serology in Children With Stuttering.

Stuttering is a pronunciation disorder represented by repetitive perpetuations, duplications, or freezes of spoken words or syllables, as well as nervousness and cognitive shunning. Group A beta-hemolytic (GABHS) can lead to pediatric autoimmune neuropsychiatric disorders associated with streptococcal infection (PANDAS). Many case reports have proposed that stuttering is the result of a PANDAS, and that it can be identified together with Tourette syndrome, which shares many clinical characteristics with stuttering.

Alteration of Auto-CPAP requirements in obstructive sleep apnea patients with COVID-19 history.

Background: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is an infectious disease that leads to critical respiratory problems. Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is the most common sleep-associated breathing disease and is represented by repetitive experiences of constraint of the respiratory tract prompting to reduced or deficient breathing during sleep. Auto-Continuous positive airway pressure (Auto-CPAP) is a modality of respiratory ventilation used as gold standart in the treatment of OSA.

Effect of ketogenic diet versus regular diet on voice quality of patients with Parkinson's disease.

Diets that have effects on health problems can vary in their composition. Whilst following a regular diet (RD) a person typically consumes about 30% of calories from fat. Ketogenic diet (KD) is a form of diet whereby a person consumes as much as 90% of calories from fat.

New type of corona virus induced acute otitis media in adult.

Since late December 2019, a new type of coronavirus (CIVID-19) causing a cluster of respiratory infections was first identified in Wuhan-China. And it disseminated to all countries. Generally, COVID-19 cases have fever, cough, respiratory distress findings (dyspnoea, intercostal retraction, cyanosis etc.

Effect of Modified Fujita Technique Uvulopalatoplasty on Oxidative DNA Damage Levels in Patients With Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome.

Snoring is a social hindrance problem and it can cause life threatening problems. Because of this it must be taken seriously and must be treated. Although there are many ways for treating this problem, still uvulopalatopharngoplasty (UPPP) which is an accepted classical method maintains its importance.

Evaluation of the efficacy of curcumin in experimentally induced acute otitis media in rats.

Objectives: We investigated the effect of curcumin (CMN) in the treatment of experimentally induced acute otitis media (AOM) in rats.

Method: Thirty-two Sprague-Dawley female rats were used, yielding 64 temporal bones. Group 1 was the control group.

Variance of melatonin and cortisol rhythm in patients with allergic rhinitis.

Objective: Allergic rhinitis is an IgE-mediated inflammatory disease which effects 10%-50% of the normal population. The mechanism of its formation and the circadian rhythm of cortisol and melatonin in allergic rhinitis have not been investigated.

Study Design: Salivary levels of melatonin and cortisol were measured by radioimmunoassay in 35 newly diagnosed allergic rhinitis patients and in 23 control subjects matched for age and gender.

Melatonin and cortisol rhythm in patients with extensive nasal polyposis.

Purpose: Extensive nasal polyposis is an inflammatory disease which effects 1%-4% of normal population. The mechanism of its formation and the circadian rhythm of cortisol and melatonin in ENP have not investigated.

Materials And Methods: Salivary levels of melatonin and cortisol were measured by radioimmunoassay in 31 patients with extensive nasal polyposis and in 27 control subjects matched for age and gender.

Panconcha bullosa: new definition in the literature.

Pneumatizated turbinates are named as concha bullosa in the literature. Concha bullosa is a frequently seen variation of the middle and superior turbinates. But concha bullosa in the inferior turbinate is rarely seen.

Comparative study of intravenous opioid consumption in the postoperative period.

Background: Intravenous patient-controlled analgesia (IV PCA) using opiods is an accepted method for delivering postoperative analgesia. The aim of this study was to compare fentanyl and tramadol with IV PCA after spinal anesthesia (SA) and general anesthesia (GA) following cesarean section (C/S).

Methods: Ninety women were randomly assigned to three groups (n=30).

An alternative management procedure after inadvertent dural puncture.

Background: Accidental dural puncture during epidural blockade is a rare complication. Since postdural puncture headache (PDPH) is the most frequent complication, a wisely management method will also reduce the incidence of PDPH.

Methods: Five patients who had inadvertent dural puncture during the epidural procedure before hip or knee arthroplasty were included in this study.

Neuropsychiatric symptoms, quality of sleep and quality of life in patients diagnosed with nasal septal deviation.

Objectives: This study aims to evaluate the psychiatric symptoms, quality of sleep, quality of life and the predictive factors affecting quality of sleep in patients diagnosed with nasal septal deviation (NSD).

Patients And Methods: Forty male patients (mean age 22.3±1.

Fixed drug eruption against rupatadine fumarate.

Second generation of antihistaminics have better therapeutic efficacy and more predictable pharmacological responses at lower doses than older compounds. However, new compounds have a reduced adverse reaction profile; clinicians can also encounter some unexpected adverse effects of these newer compounds. We report the first case of fixed drug eruption of rupatadine fumarate, which was confirmed by oral provocation test.

Impact of septoplasty on pulmonary artery pressure in patients with markedly deviated septum.

Aim: The nasal septal deviation (NSD) increases upper airway obstruction. This study aimed to measure the mean pulmonary arterial pressure (mPAP) of the patients with markedly deviated nasal septum and to determine the effect of septoplasty on the pulmonary arterial pressure.

Methods: Fifty-one patients with NSD (mean age, 37.

Bilateral hemotympanum as a result of spontaneous epistaxis.

Hemotympanum is a rare condition and usually depends on a secondary reason. Therefore, idiopathic hemotympanum is rarely seen in the literature. In this paper, we report a case of this problem.

Effects of endoscopic sinus surgery on pulmonary artery pressure in patients with extensive nasal polyposis.

Aim: Extensive nasal polyposis (ENP) increases upper airway obstruction. This study aimed to measure the mean pulmonary arterial pressure (mPAP) of the patients with ENP and to determine the effect of endoscopic sinus surgery on the pulmonary arterial pressure.

Methods: Forty-seven patients with ENP (mean age, 37.

Hearing loss unusually caused by tubercular retropharyngeal abscess.

A 25-year-old man with complaints of neck pain for approximately 6 months and hearing loss accompanied by a feeling of obstruction of the left ear was presented. Findings from the oral cavity examination showed a retropharyngeal fluctuant, mildly tender mass. A conductive hearing loss of approximately 45 dB and a flat-shaped (type B) tympanogram were detected on the left ear.

Otalgia due to the pleomorphic adenoma of uvula.

We report an unusual presentation of a salivary pleomorphic adenoma in the uvula. The adenoma caused otalgia and hypernasal speech in a patient without additional symptoms. The tumor was surgically excised with safe margins of the healthy tissue.
