Surgical reduction of hypertrophied inferior turbinates: a comparison of electrofulguration and partial resection.

abstract：:The therapeutic use of botulinum toxin (Botox) is increasing in popularity. Previous studies have shown that various drugs, especially when injected intrafascicularly, can cause major nerve damage. This study evaluates the potential for neurotoxicity of botulinum toxin in a rat sciatic nerve model. Lewis rats were ran...
