In this study, we aimed to investigate the relationship between dizziness, sleep quality, severity of insomnia and duration of sleep, in young adults with dizziness.Methods: Forty-nine individuals aged 20-40 years, with normal hearing and complaints of dizziness with an unknown origin were included. The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), the Insomnia Severity Index (ISI), and the Dizziness Handicap Inventory (DHI) were used.Results: There was a very strong positive correlation between the PSQI and the ISI (r=0.838, p<0.001). Strong positive correlations were observed between PSQI and the total DHI scores (r=0.660, p<0.001), as well as between ISI and DHI scores (r=0.673, p<0.001). In addition, both PSQI and ISI showed strong positive correlations with the physical subscale of the DHI (r=0.673 and r=0.662, respectively; p<0.001 for both). A significant positive correlation was also found between the daytime dysfunction component of the PSQI and the total DHI score (r=0.640, p<0.001). Moreover, sleep duration was moderately and negatively correlated with the emotional subscale of the DHI (r=-0.454, p=0.001), indicating that shorter sleep duration was associated with greater emotional impairment related to dizziness.Conclusion: Our study showed a high correlation between sleep quality, insomnia severity and dizziness in young adults with dizziness. With inventory, clinicians can contribute to improving people's quality of life by detecting dizziness associated with sleep disorders.","PeriodicalId":44240,"journal":{"name":"Turkish Archives of Otorhinolaryngology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2025-06-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144334094","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}

Patients re-admitted for post-tonsillectomy secondary hemorrhage were identified, including those managed conservatively, requiring surgical intervention, and/or needing blood transfusion. Hemorrhage incidents were categorized by season (warm: March-August; cold: September-February), and hemorrhage rates were calculated. Surgical methods and the first surgical techniques in patients presenting with hemorrhage were recorded.Results: In total, 4,994 tonsillectomies had been performed in the study period. Sixty patients (1.20%) were re-admitted and hospitalized due to postoperative hemorrhage, of whom 22 (0.44%) were reoperated and 38 (0.76%) were managed conservatively. Ten patients (0.20%) needed transfusion. Of the patients presenting with hemorrhage, 39 (65%) were admitted during the warm season, and 21 (35%) during the cold season. The cold dissection technique was used in 95.03% of the cases, with a hemorrhage rate of 1.2%.Conclusion: Tonsillectomy is a common procedure worldwide and post-tonsillectomy hemorrhages are a frequent complication. Reducing morbidity and mortality through preventive strategies is crucial. Patients presenting with post-tonsillectomy hemorrhage should be hospitalized, monitored closely, and evaluated with hemogram and coagulation tests to assess hemorrhage volume and transfusion needs.","PeriodicalId":44240,"journal":{"name":"Turkish Archives of Otorhinolaryngology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2025-06-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144327175","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 presence of tonsilloliths was recorded along with NSD and CRS, with or without nasal polyps. The effects of age, gender, NSD, and CRS (with or without nasal polyps) on tonsillolith formation were analyzed. All CT images were re-evaluated for tonsilloliths, CRS, NSD and other pathological findings. The relationships between tonsillolith presence and NSD and CRS were statistically analyzed.Results: A significant difference in age was observed between individuals with and without tonsillolith (p<0.001). Additionally, the prevalence of tonsillolith was markedly higher in patients diagnosed with NSD compared to those without this condition (p<0.001). Similarly, patients diagnosed with CRS exhibited a significantly increased incidence of tonsillolith when compared to individuals without CRS (p<0.001).Conclusion: The incidence of tonsilloliths in this study was 27.6%. Tonsillolith prevalence increased with age, while no significant difference was observed based on gender. The presence of NSD, a condition associated with nasal obstruction, or CRS, an inflammatory disorder, was linked to a higher incidence of tonsilloliths.","PeriodicalId":44240,"journal":{"name":"Turkish Archives of Otorhinolaryngology","volume":" ","pages":"16-20"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2025-06-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12178226/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144052808","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 program addresses goals, outcomes, content, implementation sequence, educational strategies, and the steps for evaluation and regulation.Methods: The Kern educational program development model was used by the 2023-2025 ENT Resident School Management for cadaver dissection training: both qualitative and quantitative research methods were employed. A needs analysis was conducted with structured focus interviews with the 12 students accepted into the course. Dissection steps, educational resources, and dissection videos were shared with residents before the training. A personalized cadaver dissection training plan, aligned with the Curriculum Development and Standardization System, was developed and shared with the instructors. Post-training, the Kirkpatrick program evaluation model was used to conduct first and second-level program evaluations.Results: The first-level evaluation revealed high satisfaction with the training program, and the second-level evaluation indicated a statistically significant increase between pre-test and post-test scores (p=0.015). There was a significant positive correlation between the total mastoidectomy success scale scores and the difference scores (pre- and post-test) (p=0.019; r=0.663), while no significant correlation was found for the endoscopic sinus surgery success scale scores (p=0.996).Conclusion: The Resident School, developed by the members of the Turkish Otorhinolaryngology and Head and Neck Surgery Association, is a high-participation, skill-intensive training program. The program, conducted with great dedication, received high participant satisfaction and assessed knowledge and skill learning levels.","PeriodicalId":44240,"journal":{"name":"Turkish Archives of Otorhinolaryngology","volume":"63 1","pages":"27-35"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2025-06-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12178231/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144327176","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}
