Item Clinical Interpretation of Positional Nystagmus Provoked by both Dix-Hallpike and Supine Head-Roll Tests(2022) Hizal, Evren; Jafarov, Sabuhi; Erbek, Seyra H.; Ozluoglu, Levent N.; 35894530BACKGROUND: Both the Dix-Hallpike test and the supine head-roll test can provoke positional nystagmus in a group of benign paroxysmal positional vertigo patients, including but not limited to those with multiple canal involvement. This study aimed to determine the incidence and interpret the clinical significance of positional nystagmus provoked by both the Dix-Hallpike and the supine head-roll tests. METHODS: The results of video-nystagmography sessions recorded in the computer database that included both the Dix-Hallpike and the supine head-roll tests were examined. RESULTS: The records belonging to 2880 video-nystagmography sessions of 2387 patients were examined. Nystagmus was detected in both the Dix-Hallpike and the supine head-roll tests of 131 (5.5%) patients. The video images belonging to 142 session records of 122 patients were accessed and further analyzed. The diagnosis was posterior canal BPPV in 9.0%, and lateral canal BPPV in 62.3%. More than one canal was involved in 3.3%, one rehabilitation maneuver was performed in 75.0%, and recurrence was observed in 7.4% of those patients. CONCLUSION: In both geotropic and apogeotropic variants of lateral canal BPPV, nystagmus can be observed during the Dix-Hallpike test in addition to the supine head-roll test. In patients with posterior canal benign paroxysmal positional vertigo, nystagmus can also be observed in the head-roll test. To reach a correct and comprehensive diagnosis and apply appropriate treatment in benign paroxysmal positional vertigo, the Dix-Hallpike test and the head-roll test should be completely performed on both sides, and the results of those tests must be interpreted concomitantly.Item Effect of Suture Type and Suture Distance on Holding Strength in Nasal Septal Laceration Model(2021) Koycu, Alper; Hizal, Evren; Erol, Ozan; Buyuklu, Adnan Fuat; 0000-0003-1290-3509; 0000-0002-9699-6783; 0000-0002-4209-9403; 33912854; AAF-3650-2021; A-5853-2018Objective: Septal mucosal-perichondrial flaps can be lacerated during the elevation of the flaps. Appropriate repair of the lacerations is essential to prevent the development of septal perforation during the healing process. We aimed to determine the superior suture type and suture distance to use in repairing the lacerations of nasal septal mucosal-perichondrial flaps. Methods: The study used 128 nasal septal mucosal-perichondrial flaps prepared from sheep heads. Experimentally induced lacerations on the mucosal-perichondrial flaps were sutured with two interrupted sutures using one of four suture materials (4-0/5-0 Polyglactin 910, 4-0/5-0 Polydioxanone) and leaving either 5 mm or 10 mm distance between the sutures. Maximum tissue holding strength (HSmax) was measured for each suture material and suture distance used. Results: Mean HSmax values were higher for Polyglactin 910 sutures (p<0.001) and 10 mm suture distance (p=0.008) when the groups were compared in terms of suture material and suture distance, respectively. There was no statistically significant difference between the mean HSmax values of sutures with 4-0 and 5-0 diameters (p=0.057). Conclusion: Polyglactin 910 suture material with 10 mm space between two adjacent sutures may be more durable than the other suture materials when repairing nasal septal mucosal lacerations.Item Assessment of Vestibular Function in Adults with Prelingual Hearing Loss Using c/oVEMP Tests(2020) Tanyeri, Oya; Akdogan, M. Volkan; Hizal, Evren; Buyuklu, A. Fuat; 0000-0001-9710-9974; 0000-0002-9699-6783; 32066551; AAJ-4584-2021; A-5853-2018OBJECTIVES: The aim of the present study was to compare the vestibular system integrity of individuals with normal hearing with that of prelingual hearing impaired individuals. It is well known that ocular vestibular evoked myogenic potentials (oVEMPs) reflect utricular function, whereas cervical vestibular evoked myogenic potentials (cVEMPs) reflect saccular function.Therefore,oVEMP and cVEMP tests were applied to evaluate the vestibular system integrity of hearing impaired individuals participating in the research. MATERIALS and METHODS: The study group consisted of sensorineural prelingual hearing-loss volunteers aged from 18 to 60 years, whereas the control group consisted of age- and gender-matched healthy volunteers. cVEMP and oVEMP tests were performed to evaluate the integrity of the vestibular system, and the results were compared with those of the control group. RESULTS: The study included 20 (76.9%) women and 6 (23.1%) men in the study group; on the other hand, the control group consisted of 19 (73.196) women and 7 (26.9%) men. There was a difference between the study group and the control group when oVEMP and cVEMP responses were compared, and the response percentage was higher in the control group. The response rates of oVEMP and cVEMP in patients with prelingual hearing loss were 44.2 % and 59.6%, respectively. There was also a statistically significant difference between the groups for oVEMP amplitude and cVEMP P1 latency (p <= 0.05). CONCLUSION: These findings suggest that prelingual hearing loss is related to both utricular and saccular dysfunctions. However, oVEMPs were more often abnormal in prelingual deaf patients than cVEMPs, suggesting that utricular dysfunction may be more common than saccular dysfunction.Item Protective effect of Nigella sativa oil on acoustic trauma induced hearing loss in rats(2017) Culhaoglu, Belde; Erbek, Selim S.; Erbek, Seyra; Hizal, Evren; 0000-0002-8453-6069; 0000-0003-4825-3499; 0000-0002-9699-6783; 28791082; AAJ-2445-2021; B-7604-2019; A-5853-2018Acoustic trauma is a common reason for hearing loss. Different agents are used to prevent the harmful effect of acoustic trauma on hearing. The aim of this study was to evaluate the potential preventive effect of Nigella sativa (black cumin) oil in acoustic trauma. Our experimental study was conducted with 20 Sprague Downey female rats (mean age, 12 months; mean weight 250 g). All of the procedures were held under general anesthesia. Following otoscopic examinations, baseline-hearing thresholds were obtained using auditory brainstem responses (ABR). To create acoustic trauma, the rats were then exposed to white band noise of 4 kHz with an intensity level of 107 dB in a soundproof testing room. On Day 1 following acoustic trauma, hearing threshold measurements were repeated. The rats were divided into two groups as the study group (n: 10) and the controls (n: 10). 2 mL/kg/day of Nigella sativa oil was given to the rats in the study group orally. On Day 4 following acoustic trauma, ABR measurements were repeated again. There was no difference between the baseline hearing thresholds of the rats before acoustic trauma (P>0.005). After the acoustic trauma, hearing thresholds were increased and there was no significant statistically difference between the hearing thresholds of the study and control groups (P=0.979). At the 4th day following acoustic trauma, hearing thresholds of the rats in control group were found to be higher than those in the study group (P=0.03). Our results suggest that Nigella sativa oil has a protective effect against acoustic trauma in early period. This finding should be supported with additional experimental and clinical studies, especially to determine the optimal dose, duration and frequency of potential Nigella sativa oil therapy.
