Laryngeal Transplantation

Patients who require laryngectomy usually do not want to completely or partially lose their larynx. Laryngeal transplantation (LT) is a composite tissue transplantation from a cadaver to an alive recipient and requires lifelong immunosuppression in postoperative term. The aims of LT are breathing without tracheostoma, normal swallowing, and voice production. To date, only two successful complete LT have been performed in human despite many researches. The requirement of post-transplant immunosuppressive treatment has ethical concern for the larynx, which is a non-vital organ. However, LT may be an option for improving the quality of life of patients undergoing laryngectomy. In this study, we discussed the LT procedure and researches with the literature

Kafa travması sonrası karşı kulakta ileri derecede işitme kaybı: olgu sunumu

Hearing loss is a known outcome following head trauma. The conductive as well as sensorineural hearing loss have been demonstrated both in cases of head injury. The labyrinthine concussion is postulated to be the underlying mechanism, and it is a common finding in head traumas. There is no specific treatment for labyrinthine concussion. The diagnosis mainly relies on audiometric tests. We reported a case of labyrinthine concussion in the opposite ear of a patient who had head trauma. At 2-month of follow-up, we observed that the contralateral hearing loss of our case persisted.Kafa travması sonrasında işitme kaybı görülebildiği bilinmektedir. Kafa yaralanmaları sonrası hem iletim tipi hem de sensörinöral tip işitme kaybı meydana geldiği gösterilmiştir. Altta yatan mekanizmanın kafa travmalarında sıklıkla rastlanan labirentin konküzyon olduğu varsayılmaktadır. Labirentin konküzyonun özel bir tedavisi yoktur. Tanı esasen odyometrik testlere dayanır. Bu yazıda kafa travması sonrası karşı kulakta labirentin konküzyon nedeniyle işitme kaybı oluşmuş bir hasta sunduk. İki aylık takip sonrasında, karşı kulaktaki işitme kaybının düzelmediğini gözlemledik

Association Between Anxiety, Depression, and Salivary Cortisol Levels in Patients with Recurrent Aphthous Stomatitis

Objective:Recurrent aphthous stomatitis (RAS) is the most common ulcerative disease of the oral mucosa that commonly affects the general population. The objective of this study was to conduct a research in assesing the relationship between psychological disorders including anxiety, depression and salivary cortisol levels in patients with RAS.Methods:Thirty-nine patients suffering from minor RAS were enrolled in the study after obtaining an informed consent. The control group consisted of 25 age and gender matched healthy individuals. All subjects were evaluated by using both psychological tests (Hamilton’s anxiety rating scale [HARS] and Hamilton’s depression rating scale [HDRS]) and physiological testing instrument (salivary cortisol level).Results:While no statistical difference was found between the patients with RAS and controls for both salivary cortisol levels and anxiety, there was statisticaly significant difference between the groups for depression.Conclusion:There was no significant increase in salivary cortisol levels in patients with active disease when compared to the healthy subjects. But we found that depression scale values were significantly higher in patients with RAS

Rethinking development space in emerging countries: Turkey's conservative countermovement

Despite an increasingly flexible global policy context, most emerging countries refuse to venture beyond their pre-existing development strategies. This article contends that domestic political constraints under liberalized markets might preclude policy dynamism in some cases. In particular, it draws attention to the tension between market expansion and social cohesion as a formative influence over policy patterns. This tension is sometimes addressed through a conservative countermovement whereby liberally-oriented governments entice sections of the poor into broad electoral coalitions by employing palliative interventions alongside market-expanding policies. Turkey’s ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP) is one example. Central to the Turkish case has been the redeployment of the country’s historic foreign capital-dependent pattern of growth in the service of selective redistribution and credit-fuelled consumerism. The ensuing deficit-led neoliberal populism assured stable and equitable growth in the extraordinary international and domestic context of the mid-2000s, but proved unfeasible since the global crisis. Even then, this coupling of market and social preferences has become politically so firmly entrenched in time that it now constrains the policy options to address Turkey’s developmental impasse
