MASTOIDITIS LIMITED TO THE DEEP SUBANTRAL CELLS

Acute parapharyngeal abscess secondary to streptococcal mastoiditis.

A rare case of parapharyngeal abscess caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae presenting as neck abscess is reported. The patient had 20 days history of cough, fever and swelling behind right ear. He had not responded to multiple antibiotic treatments given earlier. On the basis of clinical examination and CT scan finding, he was diagnosed as having parapharyngeal abscess pointing in the neck. The a...

Squamozygomatic mastoiditis Summary

Mastoiditis in Kelantan.

Chronic mastoiditis and subperiosteal abscess are rarely seen nowadays in most countries. Thirty-four cases of mastoiditis were reviewed to find out the prevalence of chronic mastoiditis in the east coast of Malaysia. Twenty (58.82%) of these cases were a sequelae of chronic suppurative otitis media with cholesteatoma. All the patients with chronic mastoiditis were more than six years old. Fort...

Deep Learning with Limited Numerical Precision

Training of large-scale deep neural networks is often constrained by the available computational resources. We study the effect of limited precision data representation and computation on neural network training. Within the context of low-precision fixed-point computations, we observe the rounding scheme to play a crucial role in determining the network’s behavior during training. Our results s...
