Background: Hyperbaric Oxygen therapy is recommended as an adjuvant therapy for diabetic neuropathy. To investigate olfactory dysfunction and show the effectiveness of hyperbaric oxygen treatment in patients with type 2 diabetic neuropathy. Material and Methods: Patients diagnosed with Type 2 DM and diabetic neuropathy were included in the group 1. Patients of Group 1 were administered with a hyperbaric oxygen therapy for 30 sessions and patients who returned for a check up following 30 sessions were incorporated into the Group 2. Healthy volunteers with no medical problems were included in the study as a control group (Group 3). Connecticut Chemosensory Clinical Research (CCCRC) test and the subjective visual analog scale (VAS
Nonodontogenic Cervical Necrotizing Fasciitis Caused by Sialadenitis
(HINDAWI LTD, 2016-01-01) Yenigun, Alper; Veyseller, Bayram; Vural, Omer; Ozturan, Orhan
Necrotizing fasciitis is a rapidly progressive infectious disease of the soft tissue with high mortality and morbidity rates. Necrotizing fasciitis is occasionally located in the head and neck region and develops after odontogenic infections. Factors affecting treatment success rates are early diagnosis, appropriate antibiotic treatment, and surgical debridement. We present a necrotizing fasciitis case located in the neck region that developed after sialoadenitis. It is important to emphasize that necrotizing fasciitis to be seen in the neck region is very rare. Nonodontogenic necrotizing fasciitis is even more rare.

(SPRINGER INDIA, 2019-01-01) Veyseller, Bayram; Yenigun, Alper; Aksoy, Fadlullah; Meric, Aysenur; Ozturan, Orhan
There are no definitive criteria for the presence of malignancy in the opposite lobe in cases of unilateral lobectomy due to a thyroid mass in which the malignancy was diagnosed histologically. Study design is retrospective, cross sectional study. The present study included patients who underwent a lobectomy in our clinic between 2001 and 2016 with an initial diagnosis of atypia with undetermined significance or suspected malignancy according to fine-needle aspiration biopsy and adult patients who received a thyroidectomy based on thyroid cancer detected in pathological examinations. Tumor histopathological diagnosis, tumor size, and capsular, vascular, or lymphatic invasion were assessed in patients who received thyroid lobectomy. The presence of a multifocal tumor (52.3\%) significantly increased the risk of malignancy in the opposite lobe over the risk association with a unifocal tumor (8.9\%
