Background: Different laser types have been used for the treatment of hypertrophied inferiornasal turbinates. The clinical experiences of its treatment by means of a diode laser are presented.Methods: A total of 45 patients suffering from nasal obstruction due to hypertrophied inferiorturbinates (HIT) were treated with a continuous diode laser (14 W- 940 nm) in "contact" modeand under local anesthesia. Thirty patients (16 with allergic rhinitis and 14 with vasomotorrhinitis) were included into this clinical trial with a follow-up of 6 months. The study wasconducted by a questionnaire, photo documentation, conventional radiology of the paranasalsinuses, and histology.Results: The mean operation time took 8 min/turbinate, no nasal packing was necessary andno immediate complications (e.g., bleeding) were observed. Statistical analysis revealedsignificant subjective improvement (86%) of the nasal airflow and nasal cavity volume (photodocumentation) 6 months after laser surgery. In addition, complete relief of headache wasachieved in 32%. The remission rates of persistent rhinorrhoea and post-nasal dripping were,at about 88% and 64%, respectively. Atrophic change and synechiae had not been observed.Conclusions: Diode laser treatment of HIT is a useful procedure, which can be performed as anoutpatient surgery under local anesthesia, resulting in a controlled coagulation and ablation of thesoft tissue. The short operation time and the good results provide an excellent patient acceptance.Key words: Diode Laser; Hypertrophied Inferior Turbinate; Turbinoplasty.DOI: 10.3329/bjo.v16i1.5778Bangladesh J Otorhinolaryngol 2010; 16(1): 29-34

Objective: Radiological imaging modalities are playing vital role for detecting the causes of headache. Unfortunately theseinvestigations are costly and out of reach for common people Conventional radiology is the investigation of chronic headache with ear, noseand throat problem. Water view is most frequently advise for studying the sinuses nasal septum and bony component and is of great help ofpatient with chronic Headache. Setting: Department of Radiology Dow Medical College. Karachi. Period: Three month prospective study fromOctober 2003—December 2003. Result: Both male and female patients of different age group with complaint of chronic Headache was advisedfor water view 19 were male while 12 were female. DNS (78%) (Deflected nasal septum) were found to be the main cause of Headache in maleand (33%) female shows maxillary sinusitis the main cause of chronic Headache. Conclusion: Conventional radiology is still playing importantrole for diagnosing the cause of Headache apart from advance imaging modality which is costly and unreachable for common people ofdeveloping countries.

Introdução: o uso da radiação ionizante na prática médica pode ocasionar eventos nocivos à saúde do indivíduo exposto. Diante disso, o emprego ético da radiação ionizante deve contemplar o que preconiza a legislação nacional e internacional, assim como os princípios de proteção radiológica e da bioética. O sofrimento moral relaciona-se à dimensão ética na prática da saúde, podendo afetar os profissionais das técnicas radiológicas. Objetivo: identificar as situações desencadeadoras de sofrimento moral nos profissionais das técnicas radiológicas em um serviço de radiologia convencional. Metodologia: trata-se de uma pesquisa qualitativa, descritiva e exploratória. Usou-se como técnicas de coleta de dados a observação participante, a entrevista semiestruturada e a validação consensual. Os dados foram analisados por meio da análise temática. Resultados e discussão: observou-se situações de sofrimento moral quando o profissional da técnica radiológica se deparava com pacientes em condições clínicas de se dirigir a unidade de diagnóstico e imagem, diante da não indicação clínica do exame radiológico, ante ao desrespeito dos princípios de proteção radiológica e perante a falta de autonomia para fazer cumprir os preceitos éticos do emprego da radiação ionizante. Conclusão: o desrespeito dos princípios legais, assim como dos princípios de proteção radiológica e bioéticos levam o profissional das técnicas radiológicas ao sofrimento moral.
