Is There a Relationship Between Optic Canal, Foramen Rotundum, and Vidian Canal?
(Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2015)
Objectives: In this retrospective study, we investigated the relationship between paranasal sinus, optic canal, foramen rotundum, and vidian canal measurements. Methods: Computed tomographic (CT) images of 320 adult subjects ...
Comparison of two incisionless otoplasty techniques for prominent ears in children
(Elsevier Ireland Ltd, 2015)
Objectives: In the present study, we applied two incisionless suture techniques for otoplasty: Haytoglu et al.'s modification of incisionless otoplasty technique and Fritsch's incisionless otoplasty technique for correction ...
Mean Platelet Volume Decreases in Adult Patients With Obstructive Sleep Apnea After Uvulopalatal Flap Surgery
(Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2015)
Aim:The main purpose of the study was to investigate changes in mean platelet volume (MPV) values in patients with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) who had undergone uvulopalatal flap (UPF) surgery.Method:The study ...
Relief of Pain at Rest and During Swallowing After Modified Cautery-Assisted Uvulopalatopharyngoplasty: Bupivacaine Versus Lidocaine
(Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2015)
Objectives: We investigated the efficacy of bupivacaine, lidocaine, and saline infiltrations to peritonsillar region and uvula and soft palate regions for pain relief after tonsillectomy and modified cautery-assisted ...
Marked changes in olfactory perception during early pregnancy: a prospective case-control study
(Springer, 2015)
Pregnancy seems to be related with a significant change in olfaction. Here, we investigate this theory by testing the odor identification abilities of uncomplicated pregnant women and compare the results with non-pregnant ...
Comparison of anterior palatoplasty and uvulopalatal flap placement for treating mild and moderate obstructive sleep apnea
(Sage Publications Inc, 2018)
We prospectively compared the efficacy of anterior palatoplasty and the uvulopalatal flap procedure for the treatment of patients with mild and moderate obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS). Our study group was made up ...
Effects of septoplasty on olfactory function evaluated by the Brief Smell Identification Test: A study of 116 patients
(Vendome Group Llc, 2017)
We conducted a prospective study of 116 patients-61 men and 55 women, aged 17 to 64 years (mean: 26.4)- to investigate the effects of septoplasty on olfactory function in patients with septal deviation (SD). The Mladina ...
Effect of Continuous Positive Airway Pressure Treatment on Mean Platelet Volume and Platelet Distribution Width in Patients with Sleep Apnea Syndrome
(Aves, 2016)
Objective: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) syndrome is a common disorder that can cause hypercoagulation. Mean platelet volume (MPV) and platelet distribution width (PDW) are associated with hypercoagulability. This study ...
Different anesthetic agents-soaked sinus packings on pain management after functional endoscopic sinus surgery: which is the most effective?
(Springer, 2016)
In the present study, we investigated the efficacy of local anesthetics soaked non-absorbable sinus packs on pain management after functional endoscopic surgery (FESS). One hundred and fifty patients with the diagnosis of ...

(Korean Soc Otorhinolaryngol, 2013)
Objectives:The aim of this study is to investigate the role of platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) in the pathogenesis of sinonasal polyps. Methods. Study group (groups 1-3) consisted of nasal polyp samples of patients ...
