Publication Metadata only Predictive value of the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio in patients with deep neck space infection secondary to acute bacterial tonsillitis(ELSEVIER IRELAND LTD, 2015) BİNNETOĞLU, ADEM; Baglam, Tekin; Binnetoglu, Adem; Yumusakhuylu, Ali Cemal; Gerin, Fethullah; Demir, Berat; Sari, MuratObjective: The aim of this study was to determine whether the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) can be used as a predictor for deep neck space infections (DNSIs) that occur as a complication of acute bacterial tonsillitis in the pediatric population. Materials and methods: We evaluated the NLR values of 180 pediatric patients diagnosed with acute bacterial tonsillitis with or without DNSI who presented to the Otolaryngology Department of Marmara University Hospital between 2010 and 2013. In cases in which DNSI was suspected, the patients underwent complete otolaryngological examination and radiological imaging including CT and MRI. NLR was calculated in all the subjects and was compared between the patients with acute bacterial tonsillitis without DNSI and those with DNSI. Results: With regard to the tonsillitis-related complications, 17 patients had peritonsillar abscess (9.4%); five, parapharyngeal abscess (2.8%); and two, retropharyngeal abscess (1.1%). The mean NLR was significantly higher in the patients of acute bacterial tonsillitis with DNSI (P < 0.05). The optimum cut-off value of NLR was determined to be 5.4. Conclusion: This study is the first to investigate the relationship between NLR and DNSI as a complication of acute bacterial tonsillitis. The results demonstrated that the NLR value could be a potential laboratory parameter for diagnosing DNSIs. (C) 2015 Elsevier Ireland Ltd.

The aim of this study was to determine if the serum concentration of calprotectin is higher in patients with laryngeal carcinoma than in patients with benign laryngeal pathologies and controls. The study included 107 participants. The serum calprotectin concentration was analyzed using the calprotectin ELISA (enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay) kit (Calpo AS, Norway). EDTA-serum for analysis was collected prior to surgery from patients with laryngeal carcinoma (n = 41), those with a benign laryngeal pathology (Reinke's edema, vocal nodules, etc.) (n = 32), and healthy controls (n = 34). The median serum calprotectin concentration was significantly higher in the laryngeal carcinoma group (2179.6 mu g L-1) than in the benign laryngeal pathology group (727.84 mu g L-1) and control group (733.73 mu g L-1) (P < 0.05). The median serum calprotectin concentration in patients with advanced-stage laryngeal cancer (5854.,4 mu g L-1) was significantly higher than in those with early-stage laryngeal cancer (971.84 mu g L-1) (P < 0.05); however, there was not a significant difference in the median calprotectin concentration between the control and benign laryngeal pathology groups (P > 0.05). Furthermore, the median serum calprotectin concentration in the patients with early-stage laryngeal cancer (n = 21) (971.84 mu g L-1) was significantly higher than that in the benign laryngeal pathology and control groups (n = 64) (730.6 mu g L-1) (P < 0.05). The serum calprotectin concentration was strongly correlated with poor survival and advanced-stage laryngeal carcinoma. Malignant laryngeal cancer patients (n = 4) that died during follow-up had a higher median serum calprotectin concentration (9468.4 mu g L-1) than those that remained alive (n = 37) (857.78 mu g L-1) (P < 0.05). The serum calprotectin concentration is higher in patients with laryngeal carcinoma than in those with benign laryngeal pathologies and healthy controls. The present findings show that the serum calprotectin concentration might be used as a marker to discriminate between laryngeal carcinoma and benign laryngeal pathologies. Additional research is needed to further assess the value of this parameter as a useful tumor marker for the diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up of laryngeal carcinoma.Publication Metadata only Is it safe to perform adenotonsillectomy in children with Down syndrome?(SPRINGER, 2016) BİNNETOĞLU, ADEM; Yumusakhuylu, Ali Cemal; Binnetoglu, Adem; Demir, Berat; Baglam, Tekin; Sari, MuratThis retrospective review aims to evaluate the postoperative morbidity and mortality of 30 patients with Down syndrome who underwent adenotonsillectomy between June 2012 and December 2015 in a tertiary referral center. Mean age was 7.8 with a range of 3-12. There were 20 (66.6 %) male and ten (33.3 %) female patients. Mean follow-up was 23 months with a range of 7-43 months. 23 (76.6 %) of 30 patients had been operated due to obstructive tonsillar and adenoid hypertrophy, whereas seven (23.3 %) of them operated for chronic recurrent infections. All of the patients had undergone adenotonsillectomy operation; one patient had also bilateral tympanostomy tube insertion. Hospital stay was noted 1.3 days in average with a range of 1-3 days. Anesthetic complications of persistent bradycardia and postextubation respiratory difficulty occurred in two (6.6) patients. Patient who had intraoperative bradycardia necessitated intensive care unit stay and pacemaker implantation during follow-up. 3 (10 %) patients had late onset hemorrhage between days 7 and 10 and required intraoperative bleeding control. We did not experience any other morbidity and mortality except the abovementioned ones. In conclusion, adenotonsillectomy in patients with Down syndrome is a worthwhile operation with certain risks and these operations should better be performed by the tertiary referral centers which have the capacity to deal with the complications.Publication Metadata only Comparison of pharyngocutaneous fistula closure with and without bacterial cellulose in a rat model(ELSEVIER SCI LTD, 2018) BİNNETOĞLU, ADEM; Demir, Berat; Sari, Murat; Binnetoglu, Adem; Yumusakhuylu, Ali Cemal; Filinte, Deniz; Tekin, Ishak Ozel; Baglam, Tekin; Batman, Abdullah CaglarObjective: The present study aimed to compare the effects of bacterial cellulose used for closure of pharyngocutaneous fistulae, a complication of total laryngectomy, with those of primary sutures in a rat model. Methods: Thirty female Sprague-Dawley underwent experimental pharyngoesophagotomy and were grouped depending on the material used for pharyngocutaneous fistula closure: group I, which received primary sutures alone, group II, which received bacterial cellulose alone; and group III, which received both. After 7 days, the rats were sacrificed. Pharyngocutaneous fistula development was assessed, the gross wound was inspected, and histological examination was conducted. Results: Pharyngocutaneous fistulae developed in 12 rats (41%) in all: 6 from group I (21%), 4 from group II (14%) and 2 from group III (7%). Conclusion: Fibroblast density and inflammatory cell infiltration were significantly greater in group III than group I. We concluded that bacterial cellulose may be useful for pharyngocutaneous fistula closure. (C) 2017 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
