“…From then on, a plenty of findings have held up their opinions which indicate that MIT is superior to conventional surgical excision in some aspects including the amount of blood loss, dehydration, and postoperative recovery time [4][5][6]. Recent researches indicate that MIT is valid for protecting the tonsillar capsule and producing fast wound healing to reduce suffering [7][8][9].…”

“…There were very few studies found in the literature concerning healing time of the tonsillar fossae [10][11][12]. Timms and Temple [10,13] compared coblation and BET and observed complete healing in the 9th postoperative day.…”

“…Timms and Temple [10,13] compared coblation and BET and observed complete healing in the 9th postoperative day. Johnson et al [11] compared microdebrider partial tonsillectomy with electrocautery and found that healing starts earlier in the microdebrider group. Stavroulaki et al [12] compared thermal welding with cold dissection and found no significant differences between them on the 10th postoperative day.…”

“…Surgeons have given acetaminophen (2), dexamethasone (3), gabapentin (4), fibrin glue (5), and fusafungine (6). Various surgical techniques have been described for better pain relief and wound healing, such as harmonic scalpel (7), cryotherapy (8), microdebrider (9), and laser coblation (10) .…”

A new method was established for the simultaneous determination of Sn(II) and Sn(IV) using differential pulse polarography (DPP). Among several electrolytes, 0.1 M NaOH in the presence of 0.1 M KNO 3 was found to be the most suitable one. In this medium, Sn(II) had 2 peaks, at -0.74 and -1.17 V, which were sharp and very sensitive. Sn(IV), on the other hand, had a very small peak at -0.92 V when its concentration was higher than 4.0 × 10 −4 M. Thus, it was decided to determine Sn(IV) after reduction into Sn(II). In the presence of both Sn(II) and Sn(IV), Sn(II) was first determined from the peak at -1.17 V, and then Sn(IV) was determined after its reduction with NaBH 4 into Sn(II). The detection limit was 5.5 × 10 −7 M and 8.2 × 10 −7 M for Sn(II) and Sn(IV), respectively. The interference effect of the most common ions, Fe(III), Cu(II), Pb(II), Cd(II), and Zn(II), was investigated. Only copper and iron had an interfering effect during the speciation procedures, since they oxidized Sn(II), which was formed after reduction of Sn(IV) for its determination. This effect of Cu(II) and Fe(III) ions could be eliminated by the reducing agent NaBH 4 , which was used for the reduction of Sn(IV). Since Pb(II) and Cd(II) peaks overlap with the first peak of Sn(II) at -0.74V, Sn(II) was determined using the second peak, at -1.17 V. In a synthetic sample containing Sn(II), Sn(IV), and all common ions, the total content of tin (2.0 × 10 −5 M) was found to be (2.07 ± 0.38) × 10 −5 M (90% CI, N = 3). This method was applied for the determination of tin in canned tomato sauce.
