Allergy and recurrent middle ear effusion
Objectives: The aim of this study was to compare the otitis media with effusion (OME) groups that improved when treated with adenoidectomy and Ventilation Tube (VT), to the group of the recurred after surgery and detect the possible role of allergy in OME. Material and Methods: This study was performed on two groups. The Patient group consisted of 38 patients with recurrent OME with allergy an...
متن کاملBacterial otitis media, the chinchilla middle ear, and biofilms.
Otitis media in children has a significant impact on heath care and health-care economics [1]. It is the number one reason children are seen in physicians’ offices and the most common reason children are given antibiotics [2]. The economic impact was estimated in 1998 to be between $3 billion and $5 billion per year in the United States. This estimate does not take into consideration the indire...
متن کاملOtotoxic Effects of Middle Ear Gentamicin Instillation in the Chinchilla
Gentamicin sulphate is used clinically to produce vestibular organ damage in patients with intractable vertigo. The drug is given locally by middle ear instillation. In humans, gentamicin appears to have a more toxic effect on the vestibular parts of the inner ear than on the cochlea. However, cochlear effects are not insignificant and to further explore the utility of monitoring vestibular and...
متن کاملAnalyzing reverse middle-ear transmission: noninvasive Gedankenexperiments.
The phenomenological framework outlined in the companion paper [C. A. Shera and G. Zweig, J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 92, 1356-1370 (1992)] characterizes both forward and reverse transmission through the middle ear. This paper illustrates its use in the analysis of noninvasive measurements of middle-ear and cochlear mechanics. A cochlear scattering framework is developed for the analysis of combination...
متن کاملMiddle ear fluid cytokine and inflammatory cell kinetics in the chinchilla otitis media model.
Streptococcus pneumoniae is the most frequent microbe causing middle ear infection. The pathophysiology of pneumococcal otitis media has been characterized by measurement of local inflammatory mediators such as inflammatory cells, lysozyme, oxidative metabolic products, and inflammatory cytokines. The role of cytokines in bacterial infection has been elucidated with animal models, and interleuk...
