OBJECTIVES Nasal packing after endoscopic sinus surgery is frequently used to control postoperative bleeding, enhance the wound healing process, and prevent lateralization of the middle turbinate, which causes insufficient ventilation. Many biodegradable materials have been developed to reduce pain and mucosal damage during packing removal. The purpose of this study was to compare the efficacy ...

Background Newcastle disease (ND) is a contagious and often deadly viral caused by the virus (NDV), affecting wide variety of domestic wild birds. The outbreak this fatal one greatest constraints to expansion poultry farms, resulting in significant financial losses. Here we report clinical pathological features ND case from an commercial broiler farm. Materials Methods A farm with population 85...

OBJECTIVES To compare the efficacy of power-microdebrider-assisted inferior turbinoplasty (PAT) with submucosal resection (SMR) in the treatment of inferior turbinate hypertrophy. METHODS A prospective randomized clinical trial study of 46 patients with bilateral inferior turbinate hypertrophy. Patients were randomly divided into 2 groups: PAT and SMR. RESULTS Intraoperative blood loss was ...

Albizia amara (Roxb.) B. Boivin has been used historically for the treatment of septicaemia, malignancy, delirium, and convulsions. A decoction made from bark is to treat rheumatism, hemorrhage, some bleeding disorders during pregnancy, as well stomach pain nasal issues. active ingredients like flavonoids, alkaloids, steroids, phenolic compounds, tannins, according early phytochemical screening...

Over the nasal bones and lateral cartilages the skin is thin and fairly freely movable. The skin is much thicker, contains more glands, and is firmly adherent over the alar cartilages. The blood supply is mainly in the soft tissues. The dissection should lie in planes of cleavage whereby vessels are avoided and bleeding is minimized. The bony nose consists of paired nasal bones which are thin i...

Oxymetazoline is a topical sympathomimetic agent that is commonly used in over-the-counter nasal decongestant sprays. It is an imidazoline derivative that causes vasoconstriction of blood vessels by its direct effect on α-adrenergic receptors. Its vasoconstrictive action is used during otorhinolaryngological procedures to improve visualization of the airway and to minimize postoperative bleedin...

INTRODUCTION Since the introduction of nasal endoscopy into the field of Otorhinolaryngology, the treatment paradigm for cases of severe epistaxis has shifted toward early and precise identification of the bleeding site. Although severe epistaxis is usually considered to arise from posterior bleeding, an arterial vascular pedicle in the superior portion of the nasal septum, around the axilla pr...

AIM The objective of this study was to compare the effects of submucosal cauterization of the inferior turbinate with or without outfracture. STUDY DESIGN Clinical prospective. METHOD Twenty patients with inferior turbinate hypertrophy were randomized and divided into two groups. The first one was submitted to submucosal cauterization associated with outfracture, and the second one without ...

INTRODUCTION The management of the middle turbinate during routine sinus surgery is controversial. A prominent middle turbinate can impair access to the middle meatus during and after surgery. While middle turbinate resection can improve this access, complications from this technique have been reported, including atrophic rhinitis, empty nose syndrome, anosmia, synechiae formation, turbinate la...

OBJECTIVE To compare the outcome of submucosal resection of nasal septum under local and general anaesthesia. METHODS The retrospective study was conducted at the Sindh Government Hospital, Korangi, Karachi, from November 2008 to June 2010. A total of 100 patients (50 male and 50 females) having unilateral or bilateral nasal obstruction with moderate deviation of the nasal septum and unilater...
