Publication Metadata only Red-green-blue analysis of nasal mucosa discolouration in allergic rhinitis.(2020-04-02T00:00:00Z) Toprak, A; Degirmenci, Nazan; Dogan, R; Senturk, E; Tugrul, S; Ozturan, O; DEĞİRMENCİ, NAZAN; TUĞRUL, SELAHATTİN; ŞENTÜRK, EROL; TOPRAK, ALİ; ÖZTURAN, ORHANObjective To evaluate the colour values of nasal mucosa for the purpose of presenting an objective parameter of allergic rhinitis. Methods Seventy-three patients with allergic rhinitis (allergy group) and 73 normal healthy individuals (control group) were included in the study. Endoscopic examinations were conducted, and endoscopic photographs of the septum and both inferior turbinates were taken. The Adobe Photoshop Elements 7.0 software program was used to measure the numerical values of red-green-blue (RGB) colour components in the endoscopic photographs of nasal mucosa. Results The G and B values were significantly higher in the allergy group compared to the control group (both p < 0.05). Cumulative R, G and B values of all measurement points were significantly higher in the allergy group compared to the control group (p < 0.05). Conclusion Nasal mucosa discolouration can be measured objectively with RGB analysis to aid the diagnosis of allergic rhinitis.Publication Metadata only Analgesic effect of magnesium in post-tonsillectomy patients: a prospective randomised clinical trial(2015-09-01) TUGRUL, SELHATTİN; EREN, S. B.; Dogan, REMZİ; VEYSELLER, B.; OZTURAN, ORHAN; TUĞRUL, SELAHATTİN; DEĞİRMENCİ, NAZAN; EREN, SABRİ BAKİ; DOĞAN, REMZI; ÖZTURAN, ORHANThe aim of this study was to assess the analgesic, bleeding and nausea/vomiting effects of magnesium with and without metamizol on post-tonsillectomy patients. This prospective and randomised clinical trial included 54 patients aged 18-63 years who were scheduled for elective tonsillectomy. The patients were randomly divided into two groups and administered either magnesium with metamizol or only metamizol. They had been classified as physical status class I and II using the American Society of Anesthesiologists guidelines. All patients underwent the same surgical procedure performed by a single surgeon. The groups did not differ according to age, sex, or duration of anaesthesia or surgery. Postoperative pain, bleeding and nausea/vomiting were evaluated using the VAS and bleeding and nausea/vomiting scores on the first, fifth and tenth days. On the first, fifth and tenth postoperative days, the VAS scores of the magnesium with metamizol group were significantly lower than those of the metamizol-only group (p1 = 0.001; p5 = 0.015; p10 = 0.015). There were no significant differences in postoperative bleeding and nausea/vomiting scores between the two groups (p = 0.425 and p = 0.258, respectively). This study showed that magnesium enhanced the analgesic effect on post-tonsillectomy pain. Use of magnesium with an analgesic drug may be beneficial for management of post-tonsillectomy pain .Publication Open Access Connecticut (CCCRC) Olfactory Test: Normative Values in 426 Healthy Volunteers(2014-01-01) VEYSELLER, Bayram; OZUCER, Berke; KARAALTIN, Aysegul Batioglu; YILDIRIM, Yalcin; DEGIRMENCI, NAZAN; AKSOY, Fadlullah; ÖZTURAN, ORHAN; DEĞİRMENCİ, NAZAN; AKSOY, FADLULLAH; ÖZTURAN, ORHANApplication of Connecticut Chemosensory Clinical Research Center (CCCRC) olfactory test to healthy Turkish volunteers, obtain normative data set and analyse the role of age, sex and smoking on olfactory scores. The present study was conducted at Bezmialem Vakif University, Department of Otorhinolaryngology. Total of 426 healthy volunteers were subjected to CCCRC olfactory test which consists of n-butanol smell threshold test and smell identification test. Olfactory function score was assessed (0: worst score; 7: best score) and mean scores were calculated. Mean age was (36.7 ± 11.1; range, 17–68). 46.2 % of the subjects were male and 53.8 % were female; 37.1 % were smokers and 62.9 % were nonsmokers. Mean n-butanol threshold score was 6.36 out of 7, mean identification score was 6.34 and mean total score was 6.35. According to CCCRC score: there were no anosmic individuals, 0.5 % were severely hyposmic, 2.6 % were moderately hyposmic,15.3 % were mildly hyposmic and 81.6 % were normosmic. CCCRC olfactory test is cost-effective, simple and practical. It can be easily applied in clinical settings. The CCCRC olfactory test is appropriate for assessment of olfactory function: Turkish population is familiar in terms of the odors used in CCCRC test. The power of this study is that it provides a normative data set against which many factors can be compared.Publication Metadata only The Effect of Sphenopalatine Ganglion Block on the Postoperative Pain in Patients Undergoing Septorhinoplasty.(2020-02-22T00:00:00Z) Ozdem, A; Degirmenci, Nazan; Sen, P; Uysal, H; Turkoz, A; Ozturan, O; DEĞİRMENCİ, NAZAN; ÖZDEM, ABDULLAH; UYSAL, HARUN; ŞEN, PELİN; ŞENTÜRK, EROL; ÖZTURAN, ORHAN; TÜRKÖZ, AYDAObjectives:Publication Metadata only -Conchae bullosis-: a rare case with bilateral triple turbinate pneumatisations(2013-01-01) YENIGUN, A.; Ozturan, ORHAN; DEGIRMENCI, NAZAN; YILMAZ, F.; ÖZTURAN, ORHAN; YENİGÜN, ALPER; DEĞİRMENCİ, NAZANBackground: Concha bullosa is the pneumatisation of intranasal conchae (usually the middle turbinate, and rarely the inferior or superior turbinate); however, the term is generally used to describe aeration of the middle concha. Superior concha bullosa is a rare finding, and only a few cases of inferior concha bullosa have been reported in the medical literature. When symptomatic, concha bullosa may cause various problems including nasal congestion, headache, postnasal drip, anosmia and, sometimes, epiphora.Publication Metadata only Tonsillektomi sonrası uvula ödeminde lokal deksametazon uygulması: Prospektif randomize kontrollü çalışma(2019-03-24T00:00:00Z) TUĞRUL, SELHATTİN; ÇALIM, ÖMER FARUK; ÖZTURAN, ORHAN; TUĞRUL, SELAHATTİN; DEĞİRMENCİ, NAZAN; ÇALIM, ÖMER FARUK; ÖZTURAN, ORHANPublication Metadata only Investigation of smell and taste function in patients with obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome.(2019-05-01) GOKTAS, SS; Ozturan, ORHAN; YENIGUN, A; DEGIRMENCI, NAZAN; DOGAN, REMZİ; YENİGÜN, ALPER; DEĞİRMENCİ, NAZAN; DOĞAN, REMZI; ÖZTURAN, ORHANPublication Metadata only RGB measurements as a novel objective diagnostic test for otitis media with effusion(2015-04-01) TUGRUL, Selahattin; DEGIRMENCI, NAZAN; Eren, SABRİ BAKİ; Dogan, REMZİ; HAFIZ, Aysenur Meric; Ozturan, ORHAN; DEĞİRMENCİ, NAZAN; EREN, SABRİ BAKİ; DOĞAN, REMZI; ÖZTURAN, ORHANConclusions: This study revealed a significant correlation between red-green-blue (RGB) values of tympanic membrane (TM) images and the presence of effusion in the middle ear. These results confirm that endoscopic RGB evaluation is a rapid and non-invasive procedure yielding objective results. Objective: To investigate, in cases of otitis media with effusion (OME), the correlation of the TM color changes with the presence and viscosity of the effusion in the middle ear. Methods: Endoscopic images of the TMs of 52 patients (group 1) and 52 healthy controls (group 2) were taken during their otologic examinations. RGB values of particular points were measured on the TM images of both groups. Additionally, in group 1 the viscosity of each effusion taken by paracentesis during surgery was also measured intraoperatively with a viscometer. Patients with viscosity values lower and higher than 450 cP (centipoise) were subdivided into groups 1a and 1b, respectively. Results: Study and control groups were comparable regarding the number of patients and their mean ages (p > 0.05). Statistically significant differences were found in RGB values of the TM between groups 1 and 2, but not between groups 1a and 1b.Publication Metadata only Tonsillektomi sonrası uvula ödeminde lokal deksametazon uygulaması: Prospektif randomize kontrollü çalışma(2019-03-24T00:00:00Z) Tuğrul, Selahattin; DEĞİRMENCİ, NAZAN; ÇALIM, ÖMER FARUK; OZTURAN, ORHAN; DEĞİRMENCİ, NAZAN; ÇALIM, ÖMER FARUKPublication Unknown RGB measurements as a novel objective test for otitis media with effusion(2015-03-05T00:00:00Z) TUĞRUL, SELHATTİN; DEĞİRMENCİ, NAZAN; EREN, SABRİ BAKİ; DOĞAN, REMZİ; MERİÇ HAFIZ, AYŞENUR; ÖZTURAN, ORHAN; TUĞRUL, SELAHATTİN; DEĞİRMENCİ, NAZAN; EREN, SABRİ BAKİ; DOĞAN, REMZI; ÖZTURAN, ORHAN
