Demographic data, initial and remaining symptoms, days of hospitalization, intubation and/or tracheostomy, and vaccination data were collected.Results: 845 patients were hospitalized, 441 died, 404 patients were contacted by telephone, but only 109 responded to the questionnaire about initial and remaining otorhinolaryngological symptoms after 1.5 to 2 years of illness, 59 men and 50 women, with an average age of 58.61 years (20 to 94). Two study groups were composed: G 1 (n- 44; with remaining symptoms) and G 2 (n- 65; without remaining symptoms). 81% of patients in G1 and 67% of patients in G2 had been hospitalized for up to 20 days. Intubation occurred in 17 patients (G1-7; G2-10). Seven patients underwent tracheostomy. The most prevalent initial and remaining otorhinolaryngological symptoms, respectively, were dyspnea (68.8%; 14.6%), cough (65.1%; 11.92%), nasal obstruction (47.7%; 5.58%), smell dysfunction (44%; 11%), taste dysfunction (42%; 4.58%). Vaccination was reported by 54 patients (G1-21; G2-34).Conclusions: Otorhinolaryngological symptoms were common in patients hospitalized for Covid-19, especially dyspnea, cough, nasal obstruction, smell, and taste dysfunction.

Several such scales and checklists are reported in the literature. However, there is little information regarding their utility so one can select the most appropriate one, especially in the field of audiology. Objective The current study aimed to compare a quality analysis carried out using the standard quality assessment criteria (SQAC) for evaluating primary research papers from a variety of fields', and the Modified Downs and Black Checklist (MDBC) for a set of articles in the area of auditory processing deficits (APDs) in older adults. Methods Two published checklists suitable for the field of audiology (SQAC and MDBC) were compared for a quality analysis of articles on APD in older adults. The two checklists were compared after categorizing their items into five subsections. Two audiologists rated the articles according to both checklists. Results The interrater reliability was found to be good for both checklists. Significant differences between the checklists were observed for specific subsections. However, there was no significant correlation between the two checklists. Conclusion It is inferred that the selection of an appropriate quality assessment checklist depends on the objective of the study. If the aim of a quality analysis study is to differentiate articles based on their overall caliber, or primarily based on the subsections, SQAC is recommended. However, if the aim is to distinguish research articles primarily based on the control of variables, or differentiate intervention-based studies, the MDBC is recommended.","PeriodicalId":13731,"journal":{"name":"International Archives of Otorhinolaryngology","volume":"29 2","pages":"1-5"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2025-05-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12122107/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144180501","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The pathogenesis of polyp formation is still unclear, but allergy is supposed to be a cause. Objectives To investigate the expression levels of antioxidant enzymes in antrochoanal polyp tissue. Methods The antrochoanal polyp group was composed of 23 patients who were diagnosed microscopically, and the control group was composed of 38 healthy patients. The sample of the control group was taken from the inferior turbinate mucosa by punch biopsy under general anesthesia, and the antrochoanal polyp sample was collected from sinus surgery. The cytochrome P450 (CYP) and glutathione S-transferase (GST) expressions of the groups were investigated under microscopy and scored by senior pathologists. Results The antrochoanal polyp group had statistically less expression of CYP family 1 subfamily A member 1 (CYP1A1) than the control group ( p < 0.05). Moreover, GST Pi 1 (GSTP1), GST Mu 1 (GSTM1), and GST Alpha 1 (GSTA1) expressions were not different between the groups ( p > 0.05). Conclusion Allergy and chronic inflammation are postulated reasons for antrochoanal polyp formation, but, according to our results, we could not detect any relation between antrochoanal polyp formation and GST expression in tissue. However, the decreased level of CYP1A1 expression in the antrochoanal polyp group may be related with the pathogenesis of the antrochoanal polyp formation.","PeriodicalId":13731,"journal":{"name":"International Archives of Otorhinolaryngology","volume":"29 2","pages":"1-6"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2025-05-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12122110/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144183057","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, a numerical stratification of the patients to decide on the conservative management or intervention has not yet been established. Objective To provide an easy approach to cases of laryngomalacia by adopting an updated scoring system with a stepwise management algorithm. Methods We conducted a prospective study that included patients diagnosed with laryngomalacia over three years. The proposed symptom and history score was used to categorize patients into mild, moderate, and severe grades. Then, the examination and investigation scores designed were applied to the selected cases according to the management algorithm. Basic data from the patients and their flow throughout the study were assessed. Results The study included 112 patients with a mean age of 4.3 ± 2.2 months. In total, 44 (39.3%) cases were considered mild, 48 (42.86%), moderate, and 20 (17.85%), severe. The examination score was used to assess 68 out of 112 patients, including all moderate and severe cases of laryngomalacia. All of the mild cases were followed up, and none required surgery. The investigation score was applied to 55 cases, including all the severe cases, as preoperative evaluation, and 35 out of 48 moderate cases.

Therefore, the purpose of the present study was to translate and culturally adapt the original PPQ into Hindi to measure the outcomes in children with CI. Methods The original PPQ was translated into Hindi through a forward-backward process. The questionnaire was content- and face-validated. The harmonized Hindi questionnaire consisted of 74 items covering two domains: decision-making (26 items) and outcomes (48 items). It was piloted in 139 parents of children with CI, to determine the validity and reliability and to measure the outcome of PCI. Results The PPQ-Hindi version was easy to understand for parents. They reported that the questionnaire completion time was appropriate. The instrument had a high degree of content- and face-validity, and it matched the original. The overall Cronbach α was 0.89, and the test-retest reliability coefficient was 0.92. Conclusions The PPQ was successfully translated into Hindi and adapted to this specific culture and population, exhibiting a good validity and reliability to measure outcomes in PCI. Thus, the instrument has the potential to be an effective tool for parents to self-administer and to evaluate the effects of CI in their children.","PeriodicalId":13731,"journal":{"name":"International Archives of Otorhinolaryngology","volume":"29 2","pages":"1-10"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2025-05-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12101876/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144142474","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
