NOSE-Perf scale quantifies symptoms resulting from nasal septal perforation.
- •
The Portuguese version of the NOSE-perf scale showed internal consistency.
- •
The NOSE-Perf scale translation showed good reliability parameters.
- •
The proposed instrument is valid for measuring nasal septal perforation symptoms.
- •
Frozen biopsy isolated is not a reliable tool for guiding surgical decisions when it comes negative.
- •
Frozen biopsy is reliable for malignant results.
- •
Larger biopsy fragments are associated with a more reliable diagnosis.
- •
ESP treatment with rhIFN-α2b is effective due to elimination of HPV.
- •
The introduction of rhIFN-α2b accelerated the resolution of postoperative reactions.
- •
The introduction of rhIFN-α2b promoted the healing of the nasal mucosa after surgical removal of the ESP.
- •
Three-months olfactory training is effective to treat the COVID-19-related anosmia.
- •
Daily oral vitamin A did not lead to better results in improving anosmia.
- •
The intervention time was important in the final olfactory status of the patients.
- •
The translation and cultural adaptation of the FOSQ-10 into Portuguese is valid and reliable.
- •
The study methodology was grounded in the APA & NCME, 2014 guidelines proposed by the AERA.
- •
The missing values are non-random, associated with individuals not performing tasks (questions 3, 4, and 10).
- •
The total scores of FOSQ-10P exhibited a significant negative correlation with the total scores of the ESE.
- •
Imbalance can be the main ischemic symptom on posterior circulation.
- •
Vascular vertigo or dizziness are associated to stroke and transient attacks.
- •
Antiplatelets are an important tool for treating vascular vertigo/dizziness.
- •
Dual antiplatelet therapy can be used in selected patients.
- •
Besides prevention, antiplatelets reduce the number of vertigo attacks.
- •
Older age and males were correlated with poorer OS and CSS in patients with head and neck mucoepidermoid carcinoma (MEC).
- •
No surgery was associated with poor OS.
- •
No significant difference was detected between partial and total organ excision on patients’ OS.
- •
There was no significant difference between surgery only and surgery combined with radiotherapy on patients’ OS.
- •
Surgical resection only may be a better survival option for head and neck MEC.
- •
HT played a protective role in PTC.
- •
Blood flow was a risk factor of aggressiveness in PTC.
- •
A nomogram for predicting the aggressiveness of PTC.
- •
This manuscript reports on seven rare cases of intraoral thyroglossal duct cysts.
- •
Low-temperature plasma radiofrequency ablation surgery causes minimal trauma.
- •
It allows for quick recovery and has few complications and a low recurrence rate.
- •
There was a notable prevalence of olfactory dysfunction among isotretinoin users.
- •
Most individuals with altered sense of smell did not self-recognize the condition.
- •
Olfactory changes were correlated with treatment duration and nasal obstruction.
- •
SMAS separate the cutaneous and subcutaneous layer from the parotid tissue.
- •
There are no differences between who received SMAS and who did not.
- •
Gender, localization, and facial palsy are related with the aesthetic satisfaction.
- •
Language performance in public CI program in Southern Brazil is poor.
- •
Socioeconomic status in the public health system is homogeneous.
- •
Mean age at cochlear implantation and loss to follow-up are high.
- •
Ethmoid-dominant shadow on computed tomography is an indicator of type 2 inflammation.
- •
Ethmoid-dominance is usually evaluated by Lund-Macay scoring system.
- •
Its accuracy has been still unclear comparing with more detailed scoring systems.
- •
Potential overestimation is indicated when evaluation is done by only the Lund-Macay.
- •
Ethmoid dominance should be assessed using more detailed scoring systems.
- •
Surgical results showed PVFL as a safe and effective procedure.
- •
PVFL may avoid tracheostomy and allow decannulation in children with BVFP.
- •
PVFL is promising, as the tracheostomy has significant morbidity.
- •
Five of six patients had a favorable clinical evolution, after PVFL.
- •
In our series of cases, there were no cases of reversal of vocal fold lateralization.
- •
This study determined the translation of the Yale Pharyngeal Scale to Portuguese.
- •
This study describes guidelines for translation and cross-cultural adaptation.
- •
The application of this new instrument to clinics and researchers is ready.
- •
Dizziness and vertigo are one of the most common complaints in the elderly.
- •
Management, gait, and association is hot topics in older population dizziness/vertigo.
- •
The etiology of many older population dizziness/vertigo patients is unknown.
- •
Unexplained older population dizziness may be associated with cerebral small vessel disease.
