RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: Vocal cord paralysis (VCP) is a serious complication in thyroidectomy operations; however, its management remains unclear. The present study evaluated the voice parameters of patients who underwent surgery using Intraoperative Neurophysiologic Monitoring (IONM). PATIENTS AND METHODS: A total of 52 patients (41 females and 11 males) who underwent a total thyroidectomy operation were evaluated using objective and subjective voice analysis examinations before and after surgery. Acoustic parameters, such as Fundamental Frequency (F0), Shimmer, Jitter, Noise-to-Harmonic ratio (NHR), and aerodynamic parameters, including S/Z ratio and maximum phonation time (MPT), were analyzed. Objective findings, including the VHI-10 (Voice Handicap Index) and V-RQOL (Voice-Related Quality of Life), were also analyzed. The relationship between voice parameters and IONM values was investigated. RESULTS: The objective analysis (acoustic and aerodynamic parameters) showed no difference (p>0.05). However, the subjective analysis, which involved the VHI-10 and V-RQOL measures, revealed a significant difference before and after the operation (p<0.05). The Spearman correlation analysis showed that the NHR postoperative 1st-month parameter negatively correlated (rho=-0.317, p<0.059), while the F0 postoperative 6th-month parameter positively correlated (rho=0.347) with the amplitude difference before and after dissection (Right R2-R1 difference) for the right RLN measured in IONM. CONCLUSIONS: Patients who are planning to undergo a thyroidectomy procedure should undergo voice assessment during both the preoperative and postoperative periods. IONM could improve voice quality outcomes.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: Premature ovarian failure (POF) is the deterioration of normal ovarian function before the age of 40. In the presence of chemotherapy, radiation, genetic factors, autoimmune conditions, hypoandrogenemia, hypoestrogenemia and increased gonadotropin hormones, dry eye with early menopause findings may be encountered. The goal of our study is to compare the tear film alterations and meibomian gland status of patients diagnosed with POF at the time of diagnosis with healthy volunteers. METHODS: In our study, 90 patients with POF and 60 control patients were evaluated. Complete ophthalmologic examinations of the patients, ocular surface disease index (OSDI) score, Oxford score for corneal and conjunctival involvement, Schirmer 1 and 2 tests, noninvasive tear break-up time (BUT), lower lid meibomian drop out grades with noncontact meibography, and meibomian gland distortion and shortening scores were compared between the two groups. RESULTS: The mean age was 29.49±2.92 years in the patient group and 29.37±2.85 years in the control group (P=0.830). OSDI scores were statistically significant higher in the patient group (32.11±18.88) compared to the control group (12.93±14.92) (P<0.001). On Oxford scoring, there was a significant increase in the patient group (P<0.001). There was no significant difference between the groups in terms of Schirmer 1 and 2 tests (P=0.195, P=0.117). NIBUT was significantly lower in the patient group (11.93±4.59) compared to the control group (18.72±5.38) (P<0.001). While there was no difference between the groups in terms of lower lid meiboscores or meibomian gland length (P>0.005), there was a significant deterioration in the patient group in the distortion grading showing the morphological evaluation of the meibomian glands (p=0.037). In the ROC analysis, OSDI score (AUC=0.816, P<0.0001) and NIBUT (AUC=0.820, P<0.0001) parameters showed high specifity and sensitivity for the disease. DISCUSSION: Ocular surface damage and dry eye symptoms are observed more frequently in patients with POF. We believe that hormonal insufficiency may cause deterioration in tear film composition, ocular surface damage with changes in tear homeostasis, and a change in the structure of the meibomian glands, starting with distortion at an early age.

RESUMO

Forty patients with an average age of 6.5 +/- 3.2 years (28 male 12 female) who applied to the YYU Medical Faculty Dermatology Department outpatient clinic were investigated. Tinea capitis profunda was determined as the most frequent clinical type. The isolated dermatophytic flora of the patients consisted of Trichophyton verrucosum (43%), T. violaceum (30%), T. rubrum (23%) and T. mentagrophytes (3%). The patients with tinea capitis profunda were mostly from rural areas.
