Öğe The Association between Iron Deficiency and Otitis Media with Effusion(Aves, 2019) Akcan, Fatih Alper; Dündar, Yusuf; Akcan, Hümeyra Bayram; Cebeci, Derya; Sungur, Mehmet Ali; Ünlü, İlhanOBJECTIVES: The purpose of this trial is to examine the clinical role of iron metabolism on development of Otitis media with effusion. MATERIALS and METHODS: This prospective study was conducted in a tertiary referral center. The study group made up of children who had surgery for Otitis media with effusion (OME). Control group was comprised of children who had surgery by a pediatric surgeon for inguinal hernia repair or circumcision operations with normal ear nose throat examination. Each group was evaluated depending on the serum iron metabolism parameters. RESULTS: One-hundred-thirteen children with OME and 117 control patients were included to the study. Iron deficiency anemia was detected in 18 out of 113 patients (15.9%) in study group while there were 4 out of the 117 patients (3.4%) in control group (p:0.001). The mean hemoglobin level was 12.16 +/- 1.16 in OME group and 12.93 +/- 1.08 in control group (p<0.001). CONCLUSION: The current study shows the rate of iron deficiency anemia is higher in patients with OME than controls. Iron-deficiency anemia might be considered a potential risk factor for development of otitis media with effusion, and iron parameters should be evaluated in these children.Öğe Clinical prognostic factors in patients with idiopathic peripheral facial nerve paralysis (Bell’s palsy)(2017) Akcan, Fatih Alper; Dündar, Yusuf; Uluat, Ahmet; Korkmaz, Hakan; Özdek, AliObjectives. The aim of this study was to analyse the clinical prognostic factors that are associated with treatment outcomes in patients with idiopathic peripheral facial nerve paralysis (PFNP). Methods. The study was performed retrospectively with 80 patients in a tertiary medical center. All of the patients were treated and followed for idiopathic PFNP (Bell’s palsy). The patient charts were reviewed for patient demographics and characteristics. The comorbidities (hypertension, diabetes mellitus), the side, grade and duration of palsy, and the acoustic stapedius reflex were analyzed. Results. Forty-three male and 37 female patients were diagnosed with idiopathic PFNP. Sixty-seven of patients had complete, 13 patients had partial recovery. Of the partial recoveries, 12 patients had Grade 2 and one patient Grade 3 PFNP at the end of primary treatment. Patients tended to have incomplete recovery if they have a diagnosis of diabetes mellitus, but the difference between groups was not statistically significant (p0.326). A positive stapedius reflex was associated with complete recovery (p0.023). Patients had much more risk of incomplete recovery if age is more than 40 years (p0.006). Conclusion. A detailed history and complete physical examination are very important in peripheral facial palsy. Co-morbid diseases and demographic features such as high blood pressure, diabetes mellitus and advanced age might influence the treatment outcomes.Öğe Clinical role of vitamin D in prognosis of otitis media with effusion(Elsevier Ireland Ltd, 2018) Akcan, Fatih Alper; Dündar, Yusuf; Akcan, Hümeyra Bayram; Uluat, Ahmet; Cebeci, Derya; Sungur, Mehmet Ali; Ünlü, İlhanObjective: To investigate the clinical role of Vitamin D in prognosis of Otitis media with effusion. Methods: This prospective-controlled study was conducted at otolaryngology department in Duzce University, Turkey. The study group comprised children who were diagnosed with Otitis media with effusion between September 2016 and February 2017. Control group was conducted with children underwent circumcision or inguinal hernia repair operations that confirmed with ENT examination they do not have any sign of otitis media. After 3 months of follow-up without any treatment, unresolved cases who were accepted as chronic otitis media with effusion were operated under general anesthesia for ventilation tube application. Study and control groups were assessed depending on the serum 25(OH)Vitamin D levels at the end of 3 months; <15 ng/mL was accepted as vitamin D deficiency. The results were compared with the control group in terms of vitamin D levels. Also, subgroup analysis was performed addressing to the complete recovery otitis media with effusion and chronic otitis media with effusion. Results: One-hundred-seventy-four children with otitis media with effusion and 80 control patients were included to the study. One-hundred-eight (62%) out of 174 patients with otitis media with effusion was completely recovered after a 3-months follow up. Of those 66 out of 174 children, they had persistent diseases, underwent ventilation tube insertion after a 3-months follow-up. The mean 25(OH)Vitamin D level was 18.98 +/- 10.60 in otitis media with effusion group and 28.07 +/- 14.10 in control group and the difference was statistically significant between the study and control group (p < 0.001). Vitamin D deficiency was observed in 33 out of 66 patients (50.0%) in chronic otitis media with effusion group whilst 35 out of 108 patients (32.4%) in complete recovery otitis media with effusion group (p = 0.021). The rate of 25(OH)Vitamin D deficiency was 25% in control group which was statistically different from chronic otitis media with effusion and recovery chronic otitis media with effusion groups (p = 0.006). Conclusions: This study not only shows the relationship between Vitamin D and otitis media with effusion development, but also demonstrates the effects of Vitamin D on otitis media with effusion prognosis. There is a significant association between 25(OH)Vitamin D deficiency and follow-up outcomes of otitis media with effusion.Öğe Çocuklarda Vertigo; Ayırıcı Tanı(2018) Akcan, Fatih AlperÇocuklarda baş dönmesi nadir görülen bir şikayet olmasına rağmen gerek hastada gerekse ailede ortaya çıkardığı anksiyete nedeniyle önemli bir sorundur. Çocuklarda ifade zorluğuna bağlı tanı ve tedavide ciddi sorunlar yaşanmaktadır. Baş dönmesi şikayeti ile gelen çocuk hastada ayrıntılı bir anamnez ve fizik muayene hâlâ tanı koymada en etkili yöntemler olarak durmaktadır. Baş dönmesi şikayetinin en sık nedenleri arasında benign paroksismal vertigo, migren ve kafa travması izlenmektedir. Diğer nedenler ise; vestibüler nörinit, meniere hastalığı, benign pozisyonel paroksismal vertigo, psikojenik, otitis media, santral sinir sistem patolojileri ve ortostatik hipotansiyondur. Baş dönmesi sorunu yaşayan çocuklardaki en önemli problemlerden bir tanesi de kognitif ve motor gelişimin etkilenmesidir ve bu çocuklar mutlaka pediatrist, nörolog, oftalmolog ve gerek halinde ortopedist ve fizyoterapist ile birlikte değerlendirilmelidir.Öğe Does surgical technique significantly change the rate of post-tonsillectomy hemorrhage?(Duzce University Medical School, 2018) Dündar, Yusuf; Akcan, Hümeyra Bayram; Cebeci, Derya; Uluat, Ahmet; Akcan, Fatih AlperAim: Tonsillectomy is one of the most common surgical procedures in the pediatric population, as well as one of the first operations learned during otolaryngology residency. This study aims to evaluate the effect of surgical technique on the occurrence of post-tonsillectomy hemorrhage. Material and Methods: This prospectively-designed clinical trial was conducted in a tertiary referral center between May 2012 and April 2015. A total of 608 patients had tonsillectomies performed by a single surgeon with three different surgical techniques used during the study period. Patients in group one were operated on using cold dissection; group two comprised patients who underwent bipolar cautery; group three had the posterior pillar mucosal suturing technique performed. Results: 608 patients met inclusion criteria; 165 of them in group one, 274 in group two, and 169 in group three. The median age was 5 (2-14) years old. A total of five patients (0.82%) experienced post-operative bleeding. One of these patients (from group one) experienced primary hemorrhage. The four others were considered secondary hemorrhage; two from each the bipolar cautery and posterior pillar mucosal suturing groups. The rates of post-operative hemorrhage in each group were 0.61%, 0.73% and 1.18%, respectively (p=0.861). Only one of the five patients necessitated a return to the operating room to control the bleeding. Conclusion: Our study findings suggest that the choice of surgical technique does not affect the post-tonsillectomy bleeding rate. There were no significant differences in bleeding rates between subgroups. © 2018, Duzce University Medical School.

Pandemics have caused millions of people to become ill, disabled and death for centuries Thanks to past pandemics that deeply affect the society health, socially and economically, preparations have been made again against possible pandemics. Preparations may not go as planned. Desperation may occur for unforeseen situations. Despite these despair, the tool that can contribute in practice besides the basic principles in combating pandemics can be obtained from the past. Like every pandemic, the pandemic will end one day. Those applied and not implemented after the outbreak will be evaluated and will remain a lesson from the past for future outbreaks.Öğe The Effects of Nasal Septum Deviation on Ocular Examination Findings: Does Deviated Nasal Septum Cause Impaired Vision?(Duzce University Medical School, 2022) Akcan, Fatih Alper; Teberik, Kuddusi; Belada, Abdullah; Ünlü, İ.; Dündar, Y.Aim: Nasal obstruction due to nasal septum deviation is associated with systemic diseases such as cardiopulmonary disease, neurological and vascular problems. But the effect of pure nasal deviation on the ocular system has not been precisely investigated. The aim of this study was to analyze the association of nasal septal deviation with ocular examination findings. Material and Methods: Twenty-seven adult patients underwent septoplasty and 31 controls were included in the study. The study group was conducted on patients with pure nasal septum deviation which is significantly obstructing the nasal airway (>50%). In ophthalmological examination; peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer, macular and choroidal thickness measurements were obtained. The examination findings were compared between the study and control groups. Results: The mean macular thicknesses at nasal-500?m were 305.89±32.79 and 287.87±25.00 in the study and control groups, respectively (p=0.021). The mean macular thicknesses at nasal-1000?m were 353.04±21.28 and 341.16±17.97 in the study and control groups, respectively (p=0.025). The mean thickness of choroid was statistically significantly different at central (p=0.036) and peripheral measurements; nasal-500?m (p=0.020); nasal-1000?m (p=0.001); nasal-1500?m (p<0.001); temporal-500?m (p=0.023) and temporal-1000?m (p=0.045). No statistically significant difference was found between the two groups according to ocular tension, thickness of cornea, keratometry, anterior chamber depth, axial length of cornea, and retinal nerve fiber layer thickness. Conclusion: This is one of the pioneer studies evaluating the ocular examination findings in patients with nasal septum deviation. Our results indicate the increased thickness of both macula and choroid in patients with nasal septum deviation. © 2022, Duzce University Medical School.

NMC time was measured with subjective saccharine test and compared between study and control groups. In addition, NMC time was re-evaluated after Vitamin-D replacement protocol in patients with Vitamin-D deficiency.ResultsThe mean 25(HO)Vitamin-D levels were 14.324.23ng/mL (7-24.6) and 29.38 +/- 7.05ng/mL (25-53.8) in study and control groups, respectively (p<0.001). The mean NMC time was 11.15 +/- 3.05 (6.3-17.6) and 8.40 +/- 2.33 (6-13.2) in study and control groups, respectively (p<0.001). The mean 25(HO)Vitamin-D level after the replacement protocol was 33.38 +/- 10.03 and the mean NMC time was 9.56 +/- 2.54 (p<0.001).Conclusion The mean NMC time was significantly increased in patients with Vitamin-D deficiency which can be corrected after Vitamin-D replacement protocols. The prolonged mucociliary clearance might be one of the pathophysiologic pathways at increased upper respiratory tract infections, and sinonasal and ear infections in patients with Vitamin-D deficiency.Öğe Factors associated with glomerular filtration rate variation in primary hyperparathyroidism after parathyroidectomy(2019) Çalışkan, Mustafa; Kızılgül, Muhammed; Beysel, Selvihan; Uçan, Bekir; Akcan, Fatih Alper; Takır, Mümtaz; Çakal, ErmanBackground/aim: Prolonged hypercalcemia impairs renal function, and a reduced glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is typical in advancedprimary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT). There are scarce data related to predictors of renal impairment in patients with PHPT. Hence,we aimed to evaluate changes in kidney function in PHPT patients after parathyroidectomy (PTX) and identify factors associated withGFR variation in these patients.Materials and methods: One hundred and twenty-five patients with PHPT who underwent surgery between 2012 and 2014 wereenrolled in the study. Patients were divided into two groups according to GFR values: patients whose GFR was lower than 60 mL/min/1.73 m2 and higher than 60 mL/min/1.73 m2. Demographic and laboratory parameters were compared before and 6 months afterparathyroidectomy.Results: Prevalence of antihypertensive drug users and patients with renal cysts and parathormone (PTH) and alkaline phosphataselevels were higher in patients with GFR of ?60 than in GFR of <60 mL/min/1.73 m2 (P < 0.05). Systolic BP, uric acid, and magnesium weredecreased in patients with GFR of ?60, but GFR did not change in the two groups after parathyroidectomy. After parathyroidectomy,calcium and PTH decreased but 25(OH)D3 and phosphorus increased in the two groups. In multiple regression analysis, age, calcium,and baseline GFR were independent predictors of GFR variation. Parathyroid adenoma volume and urinary calcium were notindependent predictors of GFR change.Conclusion: Older age, higher preoperative calcium, and GFR were factors associated with GFR increase in PHPT patients afterparathyroidectomy. Further renal impairment was prevented by parathyroidectomy in PHPT patients.Öğe The Histopathological Findings of Adenoid Tissue After Topical Mometasone Furoate Implementation(Duzce Univ, 2018) Akcan, Fatih Alper; Akcan, Hümeyra Bayram; Dündar, Yusuf; Uluat, Ahmet; Karakuş, EsraObjective: Pediatric sleep disordered breathing (SDB) is a common childhood disease with a potential risk of several comorbidities. The most common cause of SDB in childhood is upper airway obstruction due to adenotonsillar hypertrophy and the classical treatment is adenotonsillectomy. However, it carries a risk of many complications and persistent apnea. Topical nasal steroid treatment may be an alternative to surgery in the treatment of pediatric SDB. However, histopathological effects of topical nasal steroids are mostly understudied. Methods: A retrospective controlled clinical study in an academic tertiary referral center. A total of 110 children were involved in the study who underwent adenoidectomy for the treatment of SDB. The study group (51-children) was treated with topical nasal mometasone furoate monohydrate 100 mcg/day. The control group (59-children) was selected randomly and all had no history of topical nasal steroid pre-operatively. Post-operative adenoidectomy specimens were reviewed according to acute/chronic inflammation findings, follicular hyperplasia, goblet cell hyperplasia, squamous metaplasia, fibrosis, atrophy, ulcer and hemorrhage. The findings were scored semiquantitatively for statistical analysis. Results: Chronic inflammation findings, follicular hyperplasia and goblet cell hyperplasia were significantly decreased in the study group in addition fibrosis, atrophy and ulcer findings were significantly increased in the study group. However, there was no statistical difference between the groups according to acute inflammation and hemorrhage. Conclusions: Topical nasal corticosteroids significantly suppress the nasopharyngeal inflammatory process in SDB. This treatment may be an alternative to surgery at least in patients with mild and moderate disease.Öğe Investigation of Risk Factors for Otitis Media With Effusion in Patients with Adenotonsillar Hypertrophy (Risk Assessment in Otitis Media with Effusion)(Duzce Univ, Fac Medicine, 2021) Akcan, Fatih Alper; Belada, AbdullahObjective: Sleep Disordered Breathing (USB) is one of the most common childhood disorders ranging from simple snoring to obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), and most common cause of it is the adenotonsillar hypertrophy (ATH). Otitis Media with Effusion (OME) is another important problem in children with USB due to ATH. The aim of this study was to evaluate the possible risk factors for the development of EOM in children with USB due to ATH. Methods: 171 pediatric patients with ATH-related snoring and sleep apnea complaints were included in the study. The patients were divided into two groups. Group 1: patients with ATH + OME and Group 2: patients with ATH alone. A pre-operative standard questionnaire was used to assess USB severity. Twenty-one different parameters were evaluated for both groups. Results: Age, sex, exposure to tobacco smoke, cow milk exposure before 12 months, breast milk only for at least 6 months, duration of symptoms, USB symptom scores, history of recurrent tonsillitis, adenoid / nasopharynx (AN) ratio, tonsil size, body mass index (BMI), hemoglobin (Hb) level, hematocrit (Hct) ratio, mean platelet volume (MPV), eosinophil ratio, neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), thyroid function tests (TSH, fT4), folate and vitamin B12 levels were evaluated. There was no statistically significant difference between these parameters except BMI. BMI values were 16.08 +/- 1.96 in Group 1 and 17.11 +/- 2.81 in Group 2, respectively (p: 0.006). Conclusions: Many different parameters were evaluated for EOM, a multifactorial disease. Among the groups, only BMI was different. Further study is required to identify risk factors for the development of EOM in patients with ATH.Öğe Is anemia in children with sleep disordered breathing actually a consequence of chronic disease?(2018) Akcan, Fatih Alper; Dündar, Yusuf; Akcan, Hümeyra Bayram; Uluat, Ahmet; Cebeci, Derya; Sungur, Mehmet AliObjectives. We aimed to investigate iron metabolism and laboratory findings of anemia in children undergoing adenotonsillectomy for sleep disordered breathing. Methods. Consecutive children undergoing adenoidectomy/adenotonsillectomy for sleep disordered breathing between January 2013 and January 2015 were investigated. Routine preoperative blood tests including blood count and iron studies were analyzed. Subgroup analyses were performed addressing to the severity of sleep disordered breathing, age and duration of symptoms. Results were compared between subgroups and normal values. Results. The study included 171 children. The mean age was 5.44 2.62 years. The mean hemoglobin level was 11.87 1.125 gr/dL and 24 (14%) out of 171 patients had anemia ( 11 gr/dL). The mean ferritin levels were 23.23 17.27 µg/L and 21.27 15.44 µg/L in patients with anemia and non-anemic patients, respectively (p 0.572). Ferritin levels decreased in only 8 (33%) out of 24 patients with anemia. The mean age, body mass index, hematocrit, mean corpuscular volume, unsaturated iron binding capacity and serum iron levels decreased in patients with anemia. The rate of anemia significantly increased in children less than or equal to 3 years of age (p 0.020). There was no significant association between hemoglobin levels and sleep disordered breathing clinical score or duration of symptoms. Conclusion. The association between low iron status and sleep disordered breathing has previously published. Unfortunately, the type of anemia is still unclear. Our results supposed that the anemia of chronic disease secondary to chronic inflammatory process might play a role in pathogenesis of anemia in patients with sleep disordered breathing.Öğe Lateral Suspension Technique in Treatment of Lateral Crus Malposition Belada Technique(Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2023) Belada, Abdullah; Akcan, Fatih AlperLateral crus malposition can cause health problems from both functional and esthetic perspectives. Recently many techniques are developed to solve this problem. One of the failures that can be seen in these surgical techniques is that the lateral crus placed in its new position is shifted to the cephalic and is dislocated. Our aim in this study is to introduce the technique authors developed to prevent complications. 16 patients (10 female and 6 male) with a lateral crus malposition during rhinoplasty surgery were included in the study to have a reposition. The suture placed on the caudal end of the lateral crural strut graft attached to the lateral crus, which authors freed from the vestibule skin for repositioning in our patients operated with an open technique, is fixed by taking it out from the skin through the newly created pocket. The lateral crus, which was fixed with a suture in its new pocket, did not dislocate, did not shift to cephalic and no infection developed in any of our patients. In 1 of our patients, a second surgery was planned because the inserted lateral crural strut graft caused a narrowing in the nasal cavity.Öğe Pediatric Tracheotomies: A 5-Year Experience In 152 Children(Deomed Publ, Istanbul, 2018) Akcan, Fatih Alper; Dündar, Yusuf; Uluat, Ahmet; Cebeci, Derya; Sungur, Mehmet Ali; Salman, Nergis; Ünlü, İlhanObjective: To analyze the indications, complications, and outcomes of pediatric tracheotomies. Material and methods: All tracheotomies performed in a tertiary referral center between January 2011 and December 2015 were reviewed retrospectively. Demographic characteristics of patients, types of referral to hospital, tracheotomy indications, preoperative evaluation findings, surgical technique, postoperative care and complications, discharge and follow-up results were analyzed. Results: A total of 152 pediatric patients underwent tracheotomy at our hospital during this five year period. The median age of patients at the time of tracheotomy was 15.8 months, ranging from 24 days to 17 years. Of the 152 patients, 91 had neurological diseases, 38 had cardiopulmonary diseases, 14 had craniofacial abnormalities, seven had upper airway obstruction, and two underwent tracheostomy for trauma. Eleven (7.2%) patients experienced early complications, and 15 (9.8%) experienced late complications. Twenty (13.1%) patients were decannulated during the follow-up period. Unfortunately, 9 patients (5.9%) died of primary disease and 3 patients (1.9%) died of tracheostomy-related complications Conclusions: The majority of procedures were performed for diseases leading to prolonged mechanical ventilator support such as neurological and cardiopulmonary diseases. This study demostrates the importance of tracheotomy indications, which are the main predictors of decannulation rates. The other significant predictor is pulmonary complications that may cause permanent dependence of mechanical ventilator support as a result of pulmonary failure.Öğe Posterior pillar mucosal suspension technique for posttonsillectomy pain and wound healing: a prospective, randomized, controlled trial(Springer, 2018) Akcan, Fatih Alper; Dündar, YusufObjectives/hypothesisTo investigate the efficacy of a simple and feasible suturing technique on posttonsillectomy pain control and wound healing.MethodsA prospective, randomized, controlled trial was conducted on a sample of 121 children between 3 and 10years of age. Group A comprised children undergoing surgery with bipolar cautery and the posterior pillar mucosal suspension technique. Bipolar alone (Group B) and cold dissection tonsillectomy (Group C) were used as control groups. Pain was assessed at 1, 3, 5, 7, and 10days postoperatively via visual analog scale scores. Peritonsillar edema, erythema, and granulation tissue in the tonsillar fossa were evaluated by direct visual examination for wound healing on days 1, 3, 5, 7, and 10.ResultsThere were consecutive 121 patients which were included, with mean ages being 6.22.5, 6.1 +/- 2.4, and 6.1 +/- 2.6 in groups A, B, and C, respectively. Postoperative pain scores on days 1 and 3 were significantly lower in Group A than Group B and C (P<.001) and scores were 0.87 +/- 1.1, 3.83 +/- 2.29, and 4.29 +/- 2.48 on day 1 and 0.38 +/- 0.88, 2.25 +/- 2.13, and 2.76 +/- 2.12 on day 3 respectively. The wound-healing scores on postoperative 1st, 3rd, 5th, and 7th days were significantly lower in Group A than control groups (P<.001). The wound-healing score on postoperative day 10 was only different than Group C (P=.020).Conclusions p id=Par4 The posterior pillar mucosal suspension technique is an effective and comparable method in terms of wound healing, maintains the preoperative anatomical structures, and enables a better pain control with reduced analgesic/opioid usage.Öğe A Presentatıon Of Anunusual Nasal Dermoıd Cyst And Its Treatment(2017) Akcan, Fatih Alper; Dündar, Yusuf; Uluat, Ahmet; Salman, Nergis; Ünlü, NisaA nasal dermoid cyst is a rare developmental anomaly seen in children. There are many classification systems of dermoid cysts according to anatomic localisation or extent of the lesions. However, comprehensive classifications have not been reached. We have reported a case of a nasal dermoid cyst located in a bone capsule in the left nasal passage. This is an unusual localisation for these cysts, which usually occur at the anterior skull base. A full endoscopic resection of the left nasal dermoid cyst was successfully performed. There were no peri-operative complications. All classifications describeintraosseous nasal dermoid cysts at the anterior skull base, at the nasal bone. This is the first case report of an intraosseous nasal dermoid cyst located at the posterior nasal passage. The clinical features and successful endoscopic treatment of this unusual patient are presented in the literature.Öğe Servikal nekrotizan fasiit(2018) Akcan, Fatih Alper; Cebeci, Derya; Dündar, Yusuf; Ünlü, İlhanServikal nekrotizan fasiit (NF) nadir ve ölümcül bir bakteriyelenfeksiyondur.
