Objective: To determine the quantitative values of apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC), standardized uptake values (SUVmax, SUVmean), metabolic tumor volume (MTV), metabolic tumor volume indexes (MTImax, and MTImean) using diffusion weighted-MRI (DW-MRI) and positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT), and analyze the predictive and prognostic values of these bio...

Objective: The rise in the number of cancer cases with human papilloma virus (HPV)-positive squamous carcinoma of the oropharynx makes the detection of HPV clinically important. We aimed to investigate the HPV positivity in our patients who have oropharyngeal cancer and compare the two different HPV detection methods, which are HPV in situ hybridization (ISH) and p16 immunohist...

Objective: Peripheral arterial tonometry (PAT) as a portable method of monitoring sleep quality is a relatively recent innovation. The aim was to compare the results of PAT and polysomnography (PSG) and to evaluate the role of PAT in diagnosing obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS).

Methods: This study included adult patients who admitted to ENT clini...

Objective: In this study, we aimed to compare ABR threshold values, V. wave latency times, amplitudes obtained using Click ABR and CEChirp ABR methods and procedural times of these tests in patients with bilateral hearing loss.

Methods: A total of 19 adult male patients were included in the study. ABR latency times with 10 dB decreases starting from 100...

Objective: We aimed to investigate whether climatic conditions of the region where we live and meteorological parameters had any effect on pathogenesis and prognosis of idiopathic sudden sensorineural hearing loss (ISSNHL) or not.

Methods: Sixty-eight ISSHL patients, who were treated in our department, were evaluated retrospectively. Meteorological data...

Objective: Recently, the ratios of neutrophil to lymphocyte (NL) and platelet to lymphocyte (PL) have been used as an indicator of inflammation. We aimed to investigate the relation of recurrent aphthous stomatitis (RAS) to inflammation by analyzing the ratios of NL and PL.

Methods: We conducted a case-control study on 143 patients with RAS and 134 heal...

Objective: The aim of the present study was to determine the prevalence of the aeroallergens sensitivity among children with allergic rhinitis in the province of Istanbul in Turkey, based on skin prick test (SPT) reactivity.

Methods: This study, including 729 AR patients with positive SPT, was conducted in three age groups. SPT with extracts including p...

Objective: This study aims to investigate the novel use of a simple and inexpensive bipolar-assisted tonsil reduction (B-TR) technique in pediatric cases with adenotonsillar hyperplasia by evaluating long-term results, possible complications, need for reoperation and incidence of recurrence.

Methods: We present our long-term retrospective data from 78 c...

Objective: The differential diagnosis of submandibular triangle swellings can be challenging to the clinician. In this study, we retrospectively analyzed clinical and histopathological characteristics of these swellings referred to our clinic and integrated our results with current literature in terms of various diagnostic aspects.

Methods: A total numb...

Papillary cystadenoma lymphomatosis (Warthin’s tumor) is the second most common benign neoplasm of the parotid gland. Although the tumor usually presents as a slowly growing mass in the tail of the parotid gland, extraparotid involvements such as the cervical lymph nodes may be observed rarely. In this article, we aimed to report a Warthin’s tumor case with atypical presentation. A 68-year-old ...
