Objective: In this study, the authors aimed to investigate whether septoplasty has an effect on cardiopulmonary functions in the patients with nasal obstruction.
Methods: A total of 53 patients with nasal obstruction due to septum deviation were included in the study. All the patients were performed septoplasty operation. Echocardiography and spirometric analysis were performed to assess cardiopulmonary functions before and after the operation (6 months postoperatively). The same evaluation was done for the degree of nasal obstruction by visual analogue scale. The preoperative and postoperative values were compared with each other.
Results: Of the total 53 patients, 44 were males (83%) and 9 were female (17%). The mean age was 31.71 ± 9.46. The preoperative and postoperative mean right ventricular volumes were 2.0736 and 2.0906, respectively. The preoperative and postoperative mean left ventricular volumes were 4.4264 and 4.3528, respectively. The preoperative and postoperative mean cardiac septal thicknesses were 0.9642 and 0.9358, respectively. The mean value of preoperative cardiac posterior wall thicknesses was 0.8849, whereas the postoperative value was measured as 0.8340. The preoperative and postoperative mean pulmonary artery pressures were 27.8302 mmHg and 23.6415, respectively, and this was statistically significant (P < 0.001). The preoperative and postoperative mean forced vital capacities (FVC) were 4.3221 and 4.5564, respectively, and this was statistically significant (P < 0.001). The preoperative and postoperative mean 1st second forced expiratory volumes (FEV1) were 3.6698 and 3.8085, respectively, and this was statistically significant (P < 0.001). The mean value of preoperative FEV1/FVC was 84.9811, whereas postoperative mean value was measured as 83.8019 and this was statistically significant (P < 0.001).
Conclusion: In this study, the authors observed that septoplasty has positive effect on cardiopulmonary functions in the patients with nasal obstruction due to nasal septum deviation. The authors also claim that septoplasty may be a preventive procedure for future pathologies of cardiopulmonary functions.

Background: Type A aortic dissection (TAAD) remains a significant challenge in cardiac surgery, presenting high risks of adverse outcomes such as permanent neurological dysfunction and mortality despite advances in medical technology and surgical techniques. This study investigates the use of quantitative electroencephalography (QEEG) to monitor and predict neurological outcomes during the perioperative period in TAAD patients.
Methods: This prospective observational study was conducted at the hospital, involving patients undergoing TAAD surgery from February 2022 to January 2023.

Objectives: To compare the curve flexibility in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) using supine traction push-prone and push-prone traction radiographs and to determine which method is more effective in predicting the postsurgical correction.
Background: Preserving spinal motion is one of the critical objectives in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) surgery.

Hip involvement is a common condition in about one-third of patients with axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA). We assessed the incidence of possible factors that predispose patients to limited flexion after total hip arthroplasty (THA) for the treatment of axSpA. We retrospectively reviewed 516 patients with axSpA (759 hips) who underwent THA.

Purpose: Basophils play a crucial role in immunoglobulin E-mediated allergic reactions and parasitic infections. Recently, a low basophil count was reported to be a poor prognostic indicator in patients with malignant tumors. This study aimed to investigate the cut-off value to evaluate the clinicopathological and prognostic significance of the basophil count in patients with gastric cancer.
