Method: Over a period of about three years, closed reduction was indicated and performed in 22 patients with a zygomatic arch fracture. In all patients, depressed fracture segments were reduced using a Tubbs-Logan mitral valve dilator via the Gillies’ temporal approach. Results: The majority of the injuries were due to motor vehicle collisions (n=8, 36.4%). The zygomatic arch fracture was isolated in 12 patients (54.5%). However, it was a component of a zygomatic complex fracture in 10 patients (45.5%). Of those, rigid internal fixation of the zygomatic body was performed in 8 and the zygomatic body was only closely reduced by a bone hook in 2 patients. Repair of a concomitant orbital floor fracture was performed in 2, a mandibular angle fracture in 1 and a frontal sinus fracture in 1 patient. The reduction status of the zygomatic arch was excellent in 12 (54.5%), good in 8 (36.4%) and fair in 2 patients (9.1%). During the follow-ups, no functional or cosmetic sequelae regarding repaired fractures of the zygomatic arch, zygomatic body or other facial bones were recorded. Conclusion: We suggest that the Tubbs-Logan mitral valve dilator is a safe and effective alternative in terms of closed reduction of zygomatic arch fractures, whether they are isolated or not. We think that further ergonomic modifications would be beneficial to improve the positioning of the instrument in restricted areas observed due to severe depression of the zygomatic arch.","PeriodicalId":41744,"journal":{"name":"ENT Updates","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2020-04-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41843368","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}

Methods: This is a prospective, observational study per-formed using a self-administered survey. An online ques-tionnaire was distributed through social media to a ran-dom sample of 653 individuals from Saudi Arabia aged 18 to 65 years (mean 29.4±10.9 years). 25.1% of respondents were male (164 men), 74.9% were female (489 women). Results: The majority of respondents were satisfied by their appearance in the selfie. 5.8% of respondents stated they had had a cosmetic procedure as a result of self-pho-tography. The procedures involved were: lip fillers, botox, rhinoplasty, cheek fillers, chin implant, scar revision and face-lift. A further 37.8% of respondents expressed a wish to undergo a cosmetic procedure (rhinoplasty, lip fillers, chin implant, scar revision, cheek fillers, botox or face-lift) due to selfies. 134 respondents expressed dissatisfac-tion with their appearance in selfies, 47 of whom (35.1%) expressed an interest in a cosmetic procedure. 46% of those who believed selfies reveal their deformities also wished to have a corrective procedure. Concerning their preferred type of procedure, women chose rhinoplasty, lip fillers, cheek fillers, anti-aging botox, face-lifts and chin implants more often than men. Conclusion: Improvements to body-image through cosmetic surgery outcomes should improve body image and thereby promote self-esteem and socialization. The selfie may underlie the increase in demand for cosmetic procedures and the number of such procedures subsequently undertaken.","PeriodicalId":41744,"journal":{"name":"ENT Updates","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2020-04-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47559612","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}

Methods: This research was carried out at Harran University Medical Faculty Ear-Nose-Throat Department, between April 2017 and April 2019. This was a prospective controlled trial study including 121 participants, 40 ncCOM, 39 cCOM and 42 healthy controls. Total thiol, native thiol, disulphide levels and LOOH, TAS, TOS levels were measured in plasma of all patients and healthy volunteers. Results: In our study, we found that total thiol, native thiol levels, native thiol/total thiol ratios and TAS levels were significantly lower in cCOM patients compared with the control group (p<0.01). Disulphide/native thiol, disulphide/total thiol ratios, LOOH, TOS and OSI levels were significantly increased in the cCOM group compared with the control group (p<0.01). Conclusion: Oxidative stress (OS) is believed to be one of the underlying reasons for COM pathogenesis. In this research, we analyzed dynamic TDH as a novel OS marker using a novel improved fully automatic colorimetric technique, along with other parameters. This study may shed light on understanding the underlying reasons for the pathogenesis of COM and identify potential targets for antioxidant drug treatment.","PeriodicalId":41744,"journal":{"name":"ENT Updates","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2020-04-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43060109","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 subject is discussed in the light of current literature. Methods: Twenty-seven patients with ranula managed surgically between 2008 and 2018 were included in this study. The indications, age and sex distribution, surgical pathology reports, surgical methods, complications encountered and recurrence rates were examined retrospectively. Results: The mean age was 27.48±18.66 years. There were 8 (29.6%) male and 19 (70.4%) female cases. The mean size of the ranula was 3.07±0.35 cm. When the symptoms were evaluated, 23 (85.2%) of the patients had a swelling in the floor of the mouth, 3 (11.1%) had a neck swelling and 1 (3.7%) had swelling on the lower surface of the tongue. The treatment method was marsupialization in 11 (40.7%) patients and ranula cyst excision in 16 (59.3%) patients. Four (14.8%) of these patients had a recurrence. The first surgical procedure was marsupialization in 3 (75%) and cyst excision in 1 (25%) of the cases with recurrence. Of the patients with recurrence, 3 subsequently underwent cyst excision and 1 of the patients underwent marsupialization. No complication or additional recurrence was observed in the follow-up of these patients. Conclusions: Concerning our ten years of experience with the management of ranula, we can conclude that ranula can be treated by both marsupialization and cyst excision with a low risk of recurrence.","PeriodicalId":41744,"journal":{"name":"ENT Updates","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2020-04-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47673767","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}

Methods : The participants' sex, age, body mass index (BMI), falls history in the past one year, and Falls Efficacy Scale - International (FES-I), Neuropathic Pain Diagnostic questionnaire (DN4) and clinical symptoms were recorded. The stability index (SI), weight distribution index (WDI) and falls risk analysis were performed for postural stability by objective computerised dynamic posturography. Results : 50 patients were matched for age and sex (mean age:41.7±11 years; age range:19-61 years) with 47 healthy (euthyroid) controls (mean age:39±9.6 years; age range:23-60 years). All SI, HL-WDI and falls risk scores, except FES-I, DN4 and NO-SI, were significantly higher in the patient group. In addition, other symptoms were present at a higher rate, with the exception of morning stiffness (p 0.05). However, there was a slight positive correlation between the existence of paraesthetic symptoms, a history of falling, and the overall SI and HL-WDI values (r>0.3 and p<0.05).

This study aims to review cases of orbital complications arising from rhinosinusitis in the light of the published literature on the topic. Methods: Eight cases of individuals presenting to a particular clinic with the development of orbital complications following sinusitis within the previous four years were included in the study. The characteristic features of these cases in terms of diagnosis, treatment and follow-up were investigated. Results: The mean age of all cases was 29.5 years. In three cases, orbital abscess, and in five cases, preseptal cellulitis, were observed as complications. Both surgical and medical treatment was administered in three cases, while medical treatment alone was used for five cases. Conclusion: The region where the complications of rhinosinusitis are most commonly observed is the orbit, due to its proximity to the paranasal sinuses, especially the ethmoid cells. Where limitation of eye movements, proptosis, and a decrease in vision exists alongside an orbital abscess which itself has developed as a complication of sinusitis, surgical treatment is the most important option to consider to prevent complications.","PeriodicalId":41744,"journal":{"name":"ENT Updates","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2019-12-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44111063","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}

Numerous aetiological factors, including genetics, eustachian tube dysfunction, autoimmunity, infection, osteoclastic activity, cytokines, endotoxins, and products of lipid peroxidation resulting from oxidative stress, have been proposed to explain the chronic inflammation which lies at the heart of the disorder. The aim of this study is to investigate a possible relationship between the pathogenesis of COM and polymorphism within the paraoxonase 1 (PON1) gene. Methods: We investigated 49 patients admitted to the Otorhinolaryngology Department and diagnosed with COM between September and November 2017. The control group consisted of 51 healthy individuals. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) – restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) methods were used to genotype the PON1 Q192R (rs662) polymorphism. Results: When the case and control groups were compared in terms of the existence of PON1 (Q192) polymorphism, there was no statistically significant difference between the groups (p=0.166, p>0.05). When intergroup comparison was performed on the type of PON1 (Q192) polymorphism, there was also no statistically significant difference (p=0.261, p>0.05). Conclusion: The present study is the first known study in which PON1 polymorphism has been examined in cases of COM. The results of our study failed to indicate a statistically significant relationship between PON1 polymorphism and COM. However, it is important to note that the higher rate of 192RR polymorphism within the control group control may indicate a protective effect in COM.","PeriodicalId":41744,"journal":{"name":"ENT Updates","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2019-12-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47819688","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}
