Do All Antioxidant Supplements Have the Same Potential Effect on Preventing Myringosclerosis?

OBJECTIVES Myringosclerosis is an irreversible pathological healing mechanism of the tympanic membrane which can result in the formation of sclerotic plaques. Antioxidant treatment is a recognised prevention therapy and coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10), lycopene, and grape seed extract (GSE), were used in this manner. METHODS Forty-four Wistar rats were used in this experiment, and, following myringotomi...

اثر پنتوکسی فیلین بر بهبود پرفوراسیون های تروماتیک پرده صماخ خوکچه هندی

Background: Tympanic membrane perforation as a sign of different otologic disorders have multiple causes, for example trauma .Traumatic perforations heal spontaneously in most cases but in large and stable perforation otolarngologist intervention is necessary . In the stable perforation of tympanic membrane , if there isn’t infection in the tympanic cavity , the paper patch or myringoplasty ma...

Mitomycin C-associated radiofrequency microelectrocautery used in myringotomy in an animal model.

UNLABELLED This study aimed at describing an alternative surgical technique to the insertion of a ventilation tube in the tympanic membrane: myringotomy by radiofrequency alone and associated with mitomycin C. AIM to show a surgical approach that can be simple to execute, not subject to complications arising from the ventilation tube. MATERIALS AND METHODS we compared myringotomy by microkn...

Effect of Low-Level He-Ne Laser Irradiation on Biomechanical Property of Wound Healing Process in Healthy and Streptozotocin Induced Diabetic Rats

Purpose: The aim of present investigation was to determine the effects of low- level He-Ne laser therapy on biomechanical property of skin wound of healthy and streptozotocin induced diabetic (STZ-D) rats. Materials and Methods: The study was performed by experimental method.36 male adult Wistar rats weighing above 250 gr. were used. Rats were divided equally into control and experimental group...
