Introduction: There is a lack of consensus regarding the need for nasal packing after a septoplasty. The use of nasal packing has been proposed to reduce bleeding, synechiae and haematomas. Despite these advantages evidence is scant to support postoperative packing. Furthermore, packing is not an innocuous procedure and can cause complications.
Objective: The purpose of this study was to investigate the efficacy of quilting sutures compared with sponge nasal packing on haemostasis, haematomas and wound healing following septoplasty.
Material And Methods: Seventy-six patients with nasal septum deviation requiring septoplasty and turbinoplasy with radiofrequency were included. Following surgery, fifty patients were selected randomly for septoplasty with one quilting suture. And twenty-six patients had sponge nasal packing. Haemostatic properties, formation of haematomas, formation of synechiae, the patients' pain and bleeding on removal of the packing were evaluated.
Results: Both techniques were equally effective in the control of postoperative bleeding, haematoma and synechiae formation following septoplasty. Sponge packing was associated with significant pain and bleeding on removal.
Conclusion: The use of quilting sutures like sponge packing is efficient in controlling bleeding, synechiae and haematomas after septoplasty and turbinoplasty.

The fovea, a pit in the retina, is crucial for high-acuity vision in humans and is found in the eyes of other vertebrates, including certain primates, birds, lizards, and fish. Despite its importance for vision, our understanding of the mechanisms involved in fovea development remains limited. Widely used ocular research models lack a foveated retina, and studies on fovea development are mostly limited to histological and molecular studies in primates.

Background: Endovascular arterial embolization (EAE) is an effective treatment for severe epistaxis refractory to conservative management with nasal packing. However, contemporary real-world data are lacking, as are data on head-to-head comparisons of EAE versus nasal packing alone.
Methods: This was a retrospective cohort study of the Nationwide Readmissions Database (NRD) from 2016 to 2021 in the United States.
Comparison of Nasal Packing, Trans-septal Suturing, and Submucosal Trans-septal Suturing Techniques After Septal Extension Grafts With Autogenous Costicartilage.

Background: Nasal packing (NP), trans-septal suturing (TSS), and submucosal trans-septal suturing (STSS) are common techniques to avoid dead space after the deviated septum is corrected. However, there is rare data about surgical complications and discomfort of these techniques after septal extension grafts (SEG) with autogenous costicartilage.
Objective: To compare the complications and discomfort of NP, TSS, and STSS techniques after SEG with autogenous costicartilage.

Nasal packing is a critical procedure in postoperative care and trauma management aimed at controlling bleeding, providing structural support, and promoting tissue healing. However, conventional nasal packs often lead to discomfort, infection risks, and secondary tissue damage. To address these challenges, this study explores the potential use of biodegradable and biocompatible gelatin-carrageenan composite scaffolds as an alternative nasal packing material.

Introduction: Deep mycoses acquired by penetrating trauma to the skin can have varied and sometimes atypical morphological presentations resulting in diagnostic dilemmas and delay in treatment onset. Histopathology can be a useful tool in not only diagnosing but also differentiating various deep mycoses.
Aims And Objectives: To observe various morphological presentations and histopathological features of deep fungal infections.
