Maxillofacial injuries are widely investigated worldwide as it consists a significant portion of trauma patients. Many researchers from various regions have reported the clinical and statistical analyses of maxillofacial fractures (MFFs) as the statistical data of MMFs are of great importance for both effective control and prevention of these cases. The number of studies concerning the diagnosis and treatment modalities of MFFs has significantly increased over the years. The bibliometric method was used to analyze publication outputs, countries, journals, most citations, and trends. In this study, the bibliometric analysis method was used in the publications related to MFFs published between 1980 and 2019, which were Science Citation Index Expanded indexed in the Web of Science database. Bibliometric analysis is applied to evaluate existing data in an evidence-based manner. The highest number of scientific articles on MFFs came from the USA, which was also the most cited country among others. When the distribution of the words in abstracts and titles by years was examined, it was seen that there was a significant change in the words “navigation,” “computer,” and “technology” between 2009 and 2012. The authors predict that our study would provide a novel perspective to the studies about MFFs and contribute to the researchers about the limits of the topic, and being aware of the active journals that publish the papers on this issue would facilitate the work of the researchers.

Incomplete partition type III (IP-III) is a relatively rare inner ear malformation that has been associated with a POU3F4 gene mutation. The IP-III anomaly is mainly characterized by incomplete separation of the modiolus of the cochlea from the internal auditory canal. We describe a 71-year-old woman with profound sensorineural hearing loss diagnosed with an IP-III of the cochlea that underwent cochlear implantation. Via targeted sequencing with a non-syndromic gene panel, we identified a heterozygous c.934G > C p. (Ala31Pro) pathogenic variant in the POU3F4 gene that has not been reported previously. IP-III of the cochlea is challenging for cochlear implant surgery for two main reasons: liquor cerebrospinalis gusher and electrode misplacement. Surgically, it may be better to opt for a shorter array because it is less likely for misplacement with the electrode in a false route. Secondly, the surgeon has to consider the insertion angles of cochlear access very strictly to avoid misplacement along the inner ear canal. Genetic results in well describes genotype-phenotype correlations are a strong clinical tool and as in this case guided surgical planning and robotic execution.

Dear Editors, I read your editorials with interest [1,2]. Artificial intelligence has become increasingly popular in recent years. Moreover, it is seen that valuable comments made on the article focus on issues such as potential harms in the academic use of artificial intelligence, publication ethics, and the ontological position of artificial intelligence [3-6]. As with other technological developments in our life, artificial intelligence seems to be increasingly present in our lives [7]. The use of artificial intelligence in article writing is a current topic of discussion. Writing an article from scratch with artificial intelligence doesn't seem quite right. The fact that artificial intelligence doesn't have an entirely independent thought structure, and that it obtains its information only based on the web, could lead to plagiarism. Also, it will not be fully understood whether it provides correct references and whether it violates the privacy of personal data. Furthermore, we do not find it correct to accept it as a co-author. Authorship carries a responsibility that an AI tool, no matter how advanced, cannot bear. Conversely, artificial intelligence will be incapable of assuming responsibility. So, should we stay away from artificial intelligence in this case? We believe the answer to this question is no. We can use artificial intelligence while writing an article, and it can facilitate our work. Finding a title after writing the article is an important issue. It must be impressive, and some journals have a character or word limit for the title. Artificial intelligence can help us in finding a title. Artificial intelligence can also assist in creating an Each journal has different rules about the abstract section. When rejected from one journal, it's necessary to create a new abstract for another journal. Artificial intelligence can speed up this process. When the article is ready, it needs to be checked for grammar and spelling rules. Artificial intelligence will be very useful in this situation. Preparing a good cover letter is important to attract the editor's attention. Artificial intelligence will assist in writing the cover letter. Although we think that artificial intelligence cannot be a co-author and cannot be used to write an article from scratch, we believe that we can benefit from artificial intelligence while writing our article. Using artificial intelligence will save us time. It will also help us write higher quality articles. In conclusion, artificial intelligence is now a part of our lives. Instead of avoiding it, we believe that we need to take advantage of artificial intelligence in a way that will facilitate our work. Sincerely yours,

The aim was to determine the influence of the pneumoperitoneum at 10, 13, and 16 mm Hg on thromboelastograph (TEG) in laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Sixty patients were randomly allocated to 3 groups. The abdomen was insufflated with carbon dioxide to 10 mm Hg (group 1), 13 mm Hg (group 2), and 16 mm Hg (group 3) intra-abdominal pressures. We evaluated changes in the TEG values [reaction time (R), maximum amplitude (MA), α-angle, K time] preoperatively, intraoperatively, and postoperatively. In the postoperative 24th hour, the R-value was significantly lower in group 3 than that in group 1 and group 2 (P<0.05). We found increased values of MA intraoperative 30th minute and postoperative 24th hour in group 3 with respect to group 1 (P<0.05) and postoperative 24th hour, and the MA value in group 3 was significantly higher than those of group 2 (P<0.05). In group 3, the α-angle was significantly higher than that of group 1 and group 2 at intraoperative 30th minute and postoperative 24th hour (P<0.05). In postoperative 24th hour, the K-value was significantly lower in group 3 than in group 2 and group 1 (P<0.05). Laparoscopy with pneumoperitoneum at pressures of 10 and 13 mm Hg did not alter the TEG values and low intra-abdominal pressure must be used for peritoneal insufflation.

Acute gastric dilatation was first defined by Duplay in 1833. We herein present the case of a 55-year-old male patient diagnosed with gastric necrosis and perforation caused by acute gastric dilatation. Since the stomach has a rich blood circulation, necrosis and perforation are rarely seen. Clinically, more than 90% of cases have complaints of vomiting. The most useful method in revealing the diagnosis and aetiology is computerized tomography. Medical treatment is appropriate for cases where no necrosis and peritonitis findings are detected through endoscopy. Delays in surgical treatment increase the risk of mortality.

BACKGROUND: The incidence of tinnitus has been increasing together with its patient impact and societal costs. Much research has been conducted in the field of tinnitus, especially on treatment modalities because there still is no cure. This study aims to analyze the evolutions and developments in the scientific output relating to tinnitus. METHODS: We analyzed the Science Citation Index Expanded featured articles in the Web of Science Core Collection relating to tinnitus from 1980 to 2020. The publications were analyzed by characteristics such as the countries and institutions, journals, the most cited articles and references, and the most frequently used words in the abstracts and keywords. RESULTS: In total, 8282 articles relating to tinnitus were identified in the Web of Science. The number of publications has been significantly increasing after the 1990s. Of the 8282 articles, a major part originated from the American and European institutions. Most articles originated from high-impact journals, which consequently also covered the most cited papers. A major interest was seen in areas about treatment and pathogenic mechanisms. CONCLUSION: This bibliometric analysis here indicated an increasing trend in tinnitus research from 1980 to 2020, particularly with the increase in tinnitus burden and the societal costs by it. Specific interest has been seen in the specific tinnitus pathophysiological mechanisms and treatment. Individual researchers and institutions will gain a new perspective on their future studies based on the bibliometric data in our paper Cite this article as: Yaz F, Büttner M, Tekin AM, Bahşi İ, Topsakal V.
