Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is an infectious disease caused by a newly discovered coronavirus. Little direct evidence suggests a viral cause for labyrinthitis; however, a wealth of epidemiologic evidence implicates several viruses as potentially causing inflammation of the labyrinth. Viral labyrinthitis is often preceded by an upper respiratory tract infection and occurs in epidemics. Aims/Objectives: This study compared latencies of vestibular evoked myogenic potentials (VEMPs) between asymptomatic COVID-19 PCR-positive cases and normal non-infected subjects. Material & methods: Twenty cases who were confirmed positive for COVID-19 and had none of the known symptoms for this viral infection formed the test group for 2 full weeks. Their age ranged between 20-50 years to avoid any age-related hearing affection. Patients who had definite symptoms of COVID-19 infection as well as those who had a history of hearing loss or a history of any known cause of hearing loss were excluded from the examined sample. VEMPs latencies were measured for all participants. Results: Deterioration of saccular hair cell functions was detected by the significantly increased latency of the VEMPs compared to controls. Conclusions and significance: COVID-19 infection could have drastic effects on vestibular hair cell functions despite being asymptomatic. COVID-19 patients should be followed up to detect any complaints regarding their vestibular performance. The mechanism of these effects requires further research.","PeriodicalId":12708,"journal":{"name":"Global Journal of Otolaryngology","volume":"21 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74814731","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Rhinoplasty can change the bone, cartilage, skin of the nose, or all three. When planning rhinoplasty, the surgeon will consider other facial features, the skin on the nose, and patient expectations. Aim: To assess the influence of social media on patients who underwent rhinoplasty, and determine if it was the main influence for their decision. Methods: A retrospective record-based descriptive approach was used to review the medical records of all patients who underwent rhinoplasty in Aseer Central Hospital (ACH) between 2015 and 2020. Data were obtained through pre-structured questionnaires and included patients’ bio-clinical data, indications, and effects of different social media platforms. Results: Hundred patients who underwent rhinoplasty, had complete medical files, and responded to phone calls were included. All the cases were aged above 18 years and 56% were men. Snapchat was the most used social media platform (57%), followed by WhatsApp (19%). Social media influenced more than 2/3 of the patients to undergo rhinoplasty. Approximately 58% of those influenced were males compared to 52.8% of those who were not. Instagram had the highest influence on male decisions to undergo rhinoplasty; its influence was significantly higher among females. Conclusions: The study revealed that social media platforms were used extensively, and they influenced patients’ decisions to undergo rhinoplasty mainly through the provision of news about famous people.","PeriodicalId":12708,"journal":{"name":"Global Journal of Otolaryngology","volume":"189 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-06-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77782631","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Botulinum toxin injection in the Thyroarytenoid muscle remains the gold-standard treatment for ADSD. However, as Botulinum toxin injections need to be repeated periodically, the voice quality fluctuates over a longer period. A Microlaryngoscopic Transoral approach to CO2 laser Thyroarytenoid myoneurectomy (TAM) has been reported as an effective technique for treatment of ADSD. It provides sustained improvement in the voice over a longer duration. Methods : Trans oral Microlaryngoscopic CO2 laser TAM was performed in 14 patients (5 females and 9 males), aged between 19 and 64 years who were diagnosed with ADSD. Data was collected from over 3 years starting from Jan 2014 – Dec 2016. GRBAS scale along with Multidimensional voice programme (MDVP) analysis of the voice and Video laryngo-stroboscopic (VLS) samples at the end of 3 and 12 months of surgery would be compared with the pre-operative readings. Results: A total of 9 (64.2%) patients showed an improvement in grade after 3 months as well as 12 months after the surgery. While 12 (85.7%) patients showed an improvement in strain after 12 months of surgery. The spasms on VLS showed an improvement in 9 (64.3%) out of 14 cases after 3 months of surgery which was proven to be statistically significant. Conclusion : This innovative surgical technique is a good alternative treatment for ADSD patients who seek a definite improvement of their condition.","PeriodicalId":12708,"journal":{"name":"Global Journal of Otolaryngology","volume":"75 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-06-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83299204","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The aim was to compare the graft uptake and hearing outcomes in type 1- Tympanoplasty with the use of a Fibrin sealant to secure the graft. Methods: A prospective study was performed on 80 patients within the age group of 18 to 64 years, from April 2014 to March 2016, at our institute. Otological examination and Audiometry findings were recorded with emphasis on the duration of symptoms, size of the perforation and the degree of hearing loss. Of the 80 patients undergoing type 1 Tympanoplasty with temporalis fascia graft, 40 patients (cases) underwent the surgery with the use of FS to secure the graft in place. The rest of the 40 patients (controls) served as a control group for this study. Statistical analysis was done using the Chi-square test. Results : In the post-operative results, the graft uptake success rate in cases was 95.00%, whereas the success rate in control group was 80.0%. This difference was statistically significant (Chi. Square=4.114, DF=1,p=0.043). Hearing outcome showed a statistically significant difference with predominance of normal hearing in cases (95.00%), whereas in the control group it was 77.50% (Chi. Square=6.155, DF=2,p=0.046). Conclusion: The FS improves the success rate in terms of graft uptake and hearing outcome in type 1 tympanoplasty.","PeriodicalId":12708,"journal":{"name":"Global Journal of Otolaryngology","volume":"84 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-05-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73423968","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

With the development of endoscope technology and endoscopic surgery, resection of these Skull base tumors, like meningiomas, craniopharyngiomas, and large pituitary adenomas has been achieved by using endoscopic endonasal skull base (EESB) approaches. Many surgeons have reported the usefulness. Aim: Clinical assessment of endoscopic endonasal skull base surgeries for tumour resection or reconstructive purpose and also to evaluate development of skull base surgeries in southern region of Saudi Arabia. Methodology: A case series study was conducted in Division of Rhinology, Department of ORL HNS at Aseer central Hospital (ACH), Southern of Saudi Arabia. The study included all patients, who diagnosed with skull base lesion and CSF leakage and undergone endoscopic endonasal skull base surgeries over a period of 6 years. All records for identified cases were reviewed to find out the demographic data and surgeries related data. Results: The study included 20 cases whose ages ranged from 18 to 66 years old with mean age of 43.3 16.6 years old. Exact of 85% of the bases had tumour and 10% had traumatic injuries. Intra-operative CSF was recorded among 70% of the cases and 55% recorded complications while recurrence was recorded among 25% of the cases. Conclusion: In conclusion, the less invasive endoscopic endonasal approach of the skull base and the pituitary fossa is an innovative time saving surgeries with minimal complications. Better training for clinical skills and new techniques was recommended for all concerned surgeons.","PeriodicalId":12708,"journal":{"name":"Global Journal of Otolaryngology","volume":"30 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-05-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76734242","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
