Öğe An interesting complication of COVID-19: Partial avulsion of the auricle due to face- mask use in a psychotic patient(Klinik Psikiyatri Dergisi, 2024) Aydin, Sukru; Gubduz, Emrah; Akan, MustafaCOVID-19, which develops as a result of SARS-CoV-2 infection, was declared a global pandemic by the World Health Organization shortly after its discovery in Mainland China. Social distancing, hygiene and the use of personal protective equipment have been strongly recommended worldwide as COVID-19 spreads through droplets. In Turkey, a mandate was issued on September 8, 2020, requiring individuals to wear face masks in all areas other than their own residences and stating that those who do not comply with the mandate will be subject to various criminal sanctions. In various parts of the world, such practices have aimed to popularize the use of face masks, but detailed information about individuals with special conditions such as children, the elderly, psychiatric patients, and patients with neurodegenerative diseases has not been sufficiently included. We believe that people with psychiatric illness have a special place in this group due to the nature of mental illness. Perceptual impairments in patients with schizophrenia may lead to exaggerated application of recommended precautions. This has raised the issue of whether personal protective equipment may cause undesirable effects as a result of prolonged exposure in these individuals. In this case report, we present a partial auricle avulsion in a patient with schizophrenia who used his mask for a long time without removing it because he was afraid of mandatory face mask use. Our case is one of the few psychiatric cases in the literature in which auricular avulsion due to prolonged face mask use is seen.Öğe Does Inferior Oblique Muscle Overaction Affect Ocular Vestibular Evoked Myogenic Potentials?(Pera Yayincilik Hizmetleri, 2023) Demir, Ismail; Yalcin, Muhammed Zeki; Cengiz, Deniz Ugur; Aydin, Sukru; Cankaya, Cem; Tekin, Ahmet MahmutObjectives: Inferior oblique muscle overaction (IOOA) is a common ocular motility disorder. Ocular Vestibular Evoked Myogenic Potentials (oVEMP) are tests that evaluate the reflex pathway between the utricular macula and the inferior oblique muscle to detect vestibular diseases. Our study is of great importance as it is the first study in the literature to evaluate the effect of inferior oblique muscle overaction on oVEMP parameters. Methods: Thirty-five patients with unilateral inferior oblique muscle overaction (IOOA group) and 18 healthy volunteers without any neurological or vestibulocochlear disease were included in this study. All patients and healthy volunteers were evaluated with oVEMP. Results: No statistically significant difference was found between the n1 latency, p1 latency, n1-p1 latency measurement values of the participants included in the study (p>0.05). A statistically significant difference was found between the n1-p1 amplitude measurement values of the participants in patient groups (non-squint eyes, squint eyes) and control groups (p-value was 0.038). Conclusion: In IOOA patients, vestibulo-ocular reflex pathway may be affected, vestibular symptoms may develop thus o-VEMP responses may be affected. A careful anamnesis should be taken in IOOA patients, and it should be kept in mind that n1-p1 amplitudes and asymmetries may be significantly higher when o-VEMP is performedÖğe Does SARS-CoV-2 affect cochlear functions in children?(Saudi Med J, 2022) Koca, Cigdem F.; Celik, Turgut; Simsek, Agit; Aydin, Sukru; Kelles, Mehmet; Yasar, Seyma; Erdur, OmerObjectives: To determine the influence of coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19) on cochlear tasks of children who had COVID-19 previously, and the relevance among disease seriousness and cochlear involvement by otoacoustic emissions (OAEs). Methods: The study included 24 hospitalized children after COVID-19 diagnosis, 23 pediatrics that received outpatient treatment, and 21 children who were without COVID-19 diagnosis as the control group between June 2021 and July 2021. Transient evoked otoacoustic emission ( TEOAE), distortion product otoacoustic emission, and contrlateral suppression of otoacoustic emission measurements were carried out for each child. Symptoms of patients, the treatments they received, and the duration of hospitalization of the children in the hospitalized group were recorded. Results: The comparison of TEOAE test results under masking showed a considerable difference between 3 groups at 1 kHz (p=0.033) and 4 kHz (p=0.021) frequencies (p<0.05). Distortion product otoacoustic emission test results of hospitalized outpatient and control group showed a statistically significant difference at 2 kHz among themselves (p=0.009). Conclusion: Our results suggest that severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 may influence the medial olivocochlear system of children and have irreversible effects on the cochlear functions. Early detection of problems that may affect cochlear functions is a special critical task, especially in children, who are a particularly vulnerable group in terms of hearing and related speech problems.Öğe The effect of the severity of COVID-19 on the sequelae of the audiovestibular system(Sage Publications Inc, 2023) Aydin, Sukru; Koca, Cigdem Firat; Celik, Turgut; Kelles, Mehmet; Yasar, Seyma; Oguzturk, SaadetObjectives: The neurotropic and neuroinvasive properties of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) have been described. It remains unknown how SARS-CoV-2 affects the audiovestibular system when it causes mild or severe disease. In this study, the sequelae effect of SARS-CoV-2 on the audiovestibular systems of different patient groups was investigated using objective and subjective test batteries. Methods: In this present study, we evaluated vestibulocochlear functions of patients who previously had Coronavirus Disease-2019 (COVID-19) with pure tone audiometry, ocular vestibular-evoked myogenic potential (o-VEMP), and cervical vestibular-evoked myogenic potential (c-VEMP) tests to identify possible sequelae by comparing them with the control group. Results: We found that the amplitude of p13-n23 was lower in both groups of patients than in the control group (p < 0.001). In the results of the left ear c-VEMP, the amplitude of p13-n23 was statistically different between the outpatient, inpatient, and control groups. The amplitude of p13-n23 was lower in both groups of patients than in the control group (p < 0.001). In the evaluation of the o-VEMP in the left ear, we observed a statistically significant difference in the latency of n10 (p = 0.006) and the amplitude of n10-p15 (p < 0.001) between the groups. The n10 latency was prolonged in both groups of patients compared to the control group and there was no statistically significant difference between groups of patients. Furthermore, the amplitude of n10-p15 was lower in both groups of patients compared to the control group and there were no statistically demonstrable differences between the groups of patients. Conclusions: In conclusion, our results suggest that SARS-CoV-2 may affect the vestibulocochlear system. But we could not find a direct relationship according to the severity of the disease.Öğe The effects of residual parotid volume on symptom-specific quality of life and complications in patients undergoing parotid surgery(Springer, 2021) Aydin, Sukru; Erbay, Mehmet Fatih; Kızılay, AhmetPurpose To measure postoperative residual parotid volumes in parotidectomy patients and to measure the effect of residual parotid volumes on the symptom-specific quality of life (SSQOL) and complications. Methods Between January 2010 and December 2016, 148 parotid gland surgeries were performed, and 74 patients were included in the study. Bilateral parotid gland volumes were measured by Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). Parotidectomy Outcome Inventory-8 and aesthetic scale questionnaire were applied to the patients. The volumetric averages obtained were compared with the questions in the SSQOL scale, the aesthetic scale data, and complications. Results In the volumetric examination performed with MRI, the mean residual volumes of the operated parotid glands were 9.5 cm(3), while the non-operated side was 28.8 cm(3). The width of the surgery and the residual parotid tissue volume was inversely correlated. There was a statistically significant difference between the residual parotid gland volume and the pain related to the surgical area, depression in the surgical site, Frey's syndrome, incision scar, and numbness. As the residual parotid gland volumes decreased, the patients' cosmetic problems related to the surgical field increased significantly, and their SSQOL decreased. Conclusion Postoperative residual parotid tissue volume could be an objective parameter to measure patients' SSQOL and complications. After parotidectomy, the maximum amount of disease-free tissue of the parotid gland should be left in place to increase patients' quality of life and minimize complications.Öğe Effects of the COVID-19 Pandemic on Pediatric Nasal Fractures(Sage Publications Inc, 2022) Koca, Cigdem Firat; Celik, Turgut; Aydin, Sukru; Kelles, Mehmet; Yasar, SeymaObjectives Nasal bone fracture is a frequent entity consulted to the otolaryngologists, approximately accounting for 39% of all facial bone fractures. The most frequent mechanisms of injury consist of assault, sport-related injuries, falls, and motor vehicle accidents. In this study, we examined the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on pediatric nasal fractures. Methods Children with nasal fracture who applied to Malatya Training and Research Hospital during the year before the first case and the following year were included in this study. Data of 172 patients for the pre-pandemic period and 79 patients for pandemic were available and included in the study. Demographic information, clinical features, nasal fracture etiology, nasal fracture type, type and time of intervention, and other accompanying pathologies were recorded. Results While falls was the leading cause of fracture etiology before the pandemic (64 patients [37.21%]), assault seems to be the leading cause during the pandemic period (27 children [34.18%]). In the pre-pandemic period, the intervention for patients with nasal fractures was performed on an average of 5 days, while this period was calculated as an average of 6 days during the pandemic period. When the 2 groups are compared in terms of nasal fracture intervention time, it was seen that the intervention time was statistically significantly later in the pandemic period (P < .001). According to the results of the analysis, the most cases in the pandemic period were seen in the fourth month, which indicated a-month period between 11 June and 11 July. Conclusions In conclusion, our number of nasal fracture cases was decreased during the pandemic period compared to the 1-year period before the pandemic. We observed the most common type IIA nasal fracture. We gave outpatient treatment to most of the patients. Our most common cause of fracture was assault. We intervened in our cases in an average of 6 days and preferred closed reduction most frequently. We could not find any study on the same subject in the literature, and we aimed to contribute to the literature with this study.Öğe Endoscopic Management of Maxillary Sinus Schwannoma(Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2022) Celik, Turgut; Koca, Cigdem Firat; Aydin, SukruSchwannomas are benign tumors originate from nerve sheath. In this article, the authors aimed to share our experience and review the literature on endonasal endoscopic intervention for a maxillary sinus schwannoma. A 30-year-old Caucasian female patient applying to ophthalmology clinic due to exophthalmos and proptosis in her left eye for the last 6 months. A well-defined mass was detected in left maxillary sinus that was filling and expanding the sinus. Endoscopic biopsy from the patient was reported as ancient schwannoma. The encapsulated mass was completely removed by performing a combined endoscopic medial maxillectomy and Caldwell-Luc procedure under general anesthesia. The authors have been following the patient for 2 years and there was no evidence of recurrence, however, a decrease in the volume of the maxillary sinus occurred, suggesting chronic maxillary atelectasis. In conclusion, schwannoma should be considered in the differential diagnosis of sinonasal masses.Öğe Evaluation of cochlear functions in infants exposed to SARS-CoV-2 intrauterine(W B Saunders Co-Elsevier Inc, 2021) Celik, Turgut; Simsek, Agit; Koca, Cigdem Firat; Aydin, Sukru; Yasar, SeymaPurpose: The novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) caused an acute respiratory illness named COVID-19 and the disease spread all over the World. Fever, cough, fatigue, gastrointestinal infection symptoms form the main clinical symptoms. Pregnants and newborns form a vulnerable population and urgent measures must be addressed. Studies about the effect of COVID-19 on pregnant women, developing fetuses, and infants are limited. Various viral diseases can cause congenital or acquired, unilateral or bilateral hearing loss. Methods: 37 infants whose mother was pregnant between March 2020 and December 2020 and were born after the diagnosis of COVID- 19 during pregnancy and 36 healthy infants were included in the study. Transient evoked otoacoustic emission (TEOAE), distortion product otoacoustic emission (DPOAE) and contralateral suppression of OAE (CLS OAE) tests were performed on all infants. Results: According to the TEOAE results of patients and controls in the silent a statistically significant difference was observed between the two groups at 3 kHz and 4 kHz (p < 0.05). Contralateral suppression of OAE test results of patients and controls a statistically significant difference was found in all frequencies (p< 0.05). Suppression was much more effective at all frequencies in the normal group than patient group. This difference was found to be more significant at higher frequencies (2,3 and 4 kHz) (p < 0.001). Conclusions: Our results suggest an insufficiency in medial olivocochlear efferent system in infants exposed to SARS-CoV-2 intrauterine. Cochlear functions should be examined in infants whose mothers had COVID-19.Öğe Evaluation of healthcare professionals' fears and quality of life regarding COVID-19; comparison of the two physician groups(2021) Caliskan Demir, Arzu; Aydin, SukruAim: The COVID-19 pandemic not only causes morbidity and mortality around the world, but also causes anxiety and fear among people. Healthcare workers are one of the groups most commonly affected during the epidemic process. It has been determined that the main transmission in COVID-19 is through droplets. This study aimed to measure the fear and anxiety about COVID-19 and evaluate the quality of life in two physicians' groups; ENT physicians with direct contact and psychiatrists without direct contact with the respiratory tract while examining patients. Materials and Methods: One hundred twenty-seven physicians accepted to fill in the online questionnaire were included in the study. The questionnaire form consisting of sociodemographic data form, the Fear of COVID-19 Scale, and SF-36 was applied online. Results: The presence of a psychiatric disturbance diagnosis and the rate of receiving psychiatric support in the past were higher in the psychiatrist group. All other demographic data were similar in both groups. When the Fear of COVID-19 Scale subscales and total score, SF-36 subscales were compared, no significant difference was found between the two groups. Conclusions: Our findings emphasize that both groups of physicians' fears about the pandemic and their quality of life are affected at similar rates. Longitudinal studies are needed to investigate other factors affecting healthcare professionals in public health emergencies such as pandemics.Öğe Evaluation of the relationship between nasal septal deviation and development of facial asymmetry with anthropometric measurements depending on age(Elsevier Ireland Ltd, 2022) Arpaci, Muhammed Furkan; Ozbag, Davut; Aydin, Sukru; Senol, Deniz; Baykara, Rabia Aydogan; Cicek, Ipek BalikciAim: It was aimed to determine the change of facial asymmetry resulting from nasal septal deviation (SD) depending on age, gender, degree of deviation and the affected area besides the effect of SD on somatotype and craniofacial morphology. Materials and methods: 171 volunteers (90 males, 81 females), 27 individuals aged 9-13, 44 individuals aged 14-18, 44 individuals aged 19-23 and 56 individuals in control group participated in the study conducted in otorhinolaryngology polyclinic.11 photometric, 16 anthropometric measurements were taken from the participants. Results: SD affects facial asymmetry formation, although not statistically significant compared to healthy individuals asymmetry rates (p>0.05). It was determined that the degree of SD affected asymmetry only between the ages of 14-18 (in adolescence) and the development of asymmetry in all SD patients was not statistically dependent on age and gender (p>0.05). Photometric measurements demonstrated asymmetries in horizontally-extending parameters of 1/3 middle part of face. There was no statistically significant difference in the cranial anthropometric measurements of the upper and lower 1/3 of the face compared to the control group (p>0.05). The order of the most asymmetrical parameters is Alare-Zygion, Alare-Subnasale, Cheilion-Gonion, Exocanthion-Cheilion, Midsagittal plane-Zygion, Zygion-Cheilion, Zygion-Gonion, Subalare-Cheilion, Glabella-Exocanthion. In all participants were determined that endomorph somatotype was dominant in female and mesomorph somatotype was dominant in male besides SD did not affect somatotype and somatotype did not alter with age. Conclusion: The development of facial asymmetry due to SD is not affected by age and gender furthermore SD does not affect craniofacial asymmetry and somatotype.Öğe Investigation of the prognostic value of blood parameters in patients with rinoserebral mucormycosis(2023) Burulday, Veysel; Aydin, Sukru; Demir, İsmail; Bayar Muluk, Nuray; Yalçın, Muhammed ZekiMucormycosis is a rapidly invasive, life-threatening opportunistic fungal infection, usually in immunocompromised patients. Suspicion, early diagnosis, debridement and anti-fungal treatment are important prognostic factors. The most common clinical manifestations of rhinocerebral mucormycosis are fever, headache, facial and ocular oedema. Invasion of surrounding tissues, the eye, skull base and brain is critical for disease progression. The purpose of this study was to investigate the predictive value of blood parameters in patients with mucormycosis. The preoperative 10-day blood parameters of 23 patients with clinical, radiological and pathological diagnoses of mucormycosis were compared in terms of etiology, gender and site of involvement. When the results were compared, the neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) on days 1, 2, 5, 7, 8, 9, and 10 was significantly higher in patients with skull base involvement compared to those without skull base involvement (p<0.05). When comparing the regions of involvement, a significant correlation was found between cranial and turbinate involvement and between lamina papricea and ocular involvement (p<0.05). It was suggested that the NLR rate could be predicted as a poor prognostic factor in patients with mucormycosis.Öğe May viral load detected in saliva in the early stages of infection be a prognostic indicator in COVID-19 patients?(Elsevier, 2021) Aydin, Sukru; Benk, Isilay Gokce; Geckil, Aysegul AltintopObjective: This study aimed to investigate the prognostic value of viral load detected in the saliva of COVID-19 patients in the early stage of infection. Study design: Oro-nasopharyngeal swab and saliva samples were collected from all patients simultaneously in the early stage of COVID-19. Viral loads were determined by extracting viral RNAs from saliva samples of patients whose ONP swabs were positive for SARS-CoV-2 by RT-qPCR. The demographic information, comorbidities, cycle threshold values, and one-month clinical courses were recorded and compared. Results: The patients' clinical course was evaluated for one month; 56 % of patients had mild disease, 26.4 % had moderate disease, 9.6 % had severe disease, and 8% had a critical/mortal disease. The average cycle threshold values of SARS-CoV-2 in saliva and ONP samples were measured as 22.28 and 24.19, respectively. Cycle threshold value of saliva was found to be significant in predicting disease severity (Eta coefficient 0.979). A statistically significant relationship was found between the disease's severity and the mean of ONP samples' Ctvalues (p < 0.05). Gender, age, body mass index, and co-morbidities were compared with the severity of the disease; no statistically significant difference was found. Conclusion: Viral load detected in saliva in the early period of COVID-19 infection may have a prognostic value in showing the disease's course in patients over 45-year-old. Saliva is an easily obtainable, reliable material for COVID-19 screening.Öğe Relationship Between Viral Load and Laboratory Values and Radiological Findings in Patients with COVID-19(Galenos Publ House, 2022) Altintop Geckil, Aysegul; Benk, Isilay Gokce; Aydin, Sukru; Akcicek, MehmetIntroduction: This study investigates the relationship between the viral load calculated from oropharyngeal/nasopharyngeal swabs at diagnosis and the laboratory parameters and radiological findings in patients with Coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19). Materials and Methods: Sixty-seven patients who were positive for severe acute respiratory syndrome-coronavirus-2 via quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) from their oropharyngeal/nasopharyngeal swabs and admitted to Malatya Turgut Ozal University Hospital were included in the study. Demographic data, laboratory parameters, and the severity of thorax computed tomography findings were recorded. The relationship between the viral load and these data was compared. Results: The mean age of the patients was 63.4 +/- 9.8 years, mean body mass index (BMI) was 28.6 +/- 5.4 kg/m(2), and mean cycle threshold (Ct) values were 21.4 +/- 5.2 cycles. No correlation was found between Ct value and gender, age, and BMI. There was a significant relationship between radiological severity and Ct value, age, and gender. There was a significant correlation between the Ct value and C-reactive protein, leukocyte, neutrophil, lymphocyte, neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio, ferritin, albumin, and calcium levels. In contrast, no significant correlation was found between hemoglobin, hematocrit, thrombocyte, urea, creatinine, total protein, gamma glutamyl transferase, alkaline phosphatase, sodium, potassium, D-dimer, procalcitonin levels, and Ct value. Conclusion: The viral load amount shown by PCR during the early period predicts the condition of the patient's lung in the advanced immunological phase. The Ct value can be an independent factor for evaluating the patient's radiological and biochemical status.Öğe The short-term effect of COVID-19 on the cochleovestibular system in pediatric patients(Elsevier Ireland Ltd, 2023) Demir, Ismail; Aydin, Sukru; Cengiz, Deniz UgurObjectives: The audio-vestibular equivalent of neurological symptoms secondary to severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) has been discussed; however, it has not been fully clarified. Although it has been reported that the vestibulocochlear system is affected in adult coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) patients, there is no study in the literature in which the pediatric patient group with COVID-19 was evaluated comprehensively with auditory and vestibular tests. In this study, the short-term damage caused by SARS-CoV-2 in the vestibulocochlear system in pediatric patients was examined.Methods: This study aimed to evaluate the vestibulocochlear system of pediatric patients (aged 9-15 years) with a recent history of COVID-19. The study included 35 individuals with a recent history of COVID-19 and 35 age -gender-matched healthy individuals (control group). Pure tone audiometry, suppressed otoacoustic emission (OAE), video head impulse test (VHIT), and cervical and ocular vestibular evoked myogenic potentials (c/o-VEMP) tests were administered to all participants following their otoscopic examinations, and the obtained data were compared between the two groups.Results: When the data obtained with pure tone audiometry were compared, statistically significant differences were found between the groups at four different frequencies (1000, 2000, 4000, and 8000 Hz) in favor of the control group. There was a statistically significant difference between the groups in the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) values obtained before noise at 2800 Hz and before and after noise at 4000 Hz. VHIT lateral gain, LARP gain, and RALP gain were statistically significantly lower in the COVID-19 group than in the control group (p < 0.05). VHIT lateral asymmetry parameter was measured higher in the COVID-19 group than in the control group, and this difference was statistically significant (p < 0.05). In the VHIT test, the asymmetry parameter was significantly higher in the COVID-19 group (p < 0.05). In the o-VEMP test, n10 latency, p15 latency, n10-p15 interlatency, n10-p15 interpeak amplitude, and asymmetry parameters were measured, and no statistically significant difference was found between the COVID-19 group and the control group (p > 0.05). Conclusion: Evidence was obtained that the cochleovestibular system was damaged in pediatric patients in the early post-COVID-19 period.Öğe The investigation of vestibulary system in patients with thyroid dysfunctions(2024) Yaşar, Şeyma; Aydin, Sukru; Koca, Çiğdem Fırat; Çelik, Turgut; Kelleş, Mehmet; Keskin, LezanA relationship has been detected among thyroid dysfunctions and vestibular pathologies. Our aim was to evaluate the vestibular system in cases with thyroid dysfunctions. Totally 71 patients between the ages of 20-50 with thyroid dysfunctions (35 hypothyroidic and 36 hyperthyroidic) and 36 participants with normal thyroid functions were included. Patients were also allocated as two groups based on antibody positivity. Pure tone audiometry and Vestibular Evoked Myogenic Potential tests were performed for all participants. In the left ear there was a numerically significance in the hypothyroids at 4000 and 8000 Hz (p=0.020 and p=0.014). In the right ear p13 and n23 latencies differed among the groups, (p=0.004 and p=0.001). The p13-n23 and n10-p15 amplitudes were decreased in both patient groups (p<0.001) (p=0.015). For the left ear, the p13 an n23 latencies was prolonged in both patient groups (p=0.044) (p=0.002). The p13-n23 amplitude value was distincted numerically significant (p<0.001). The n10-p15 amplitude was longer in the patients (p=0.004). We can not observe a numerically significance among groups according to antibody positivity (p>0.005). Thyroid dysfunctions may lead to subclinical changes on the vestibular system and the saccular and utriculer impairment may be an early indicator of endolymphatic hydrops.
