NASO-PHARYNGEAL ADENOIDS AS A CAUSATIVE FACTOR IN EAR DISEASES.

AGE proteins as a causative factor in Alzheimer's Disease

The reaction between reducing sugars and protein free amines, known as the Maillar reaction results in the formation of advanced glycation endproducts (AGEs). AGE modification changes the structure of proteins to amyloid cross-beta structure. These protein structures can activate receptors known as RAGE on glial cells (microglia and astrocytes), and induce the expression of inducible nitric oxi...

He complained of nasal obstruction for one year which was noticed first on the right side and later on the left.

Tonsils and Naso-Pharyngeal Sepsis

Practitioner's Handbook of Diseases of the Ear and Naso-Pharynx

The chapter on the complications of suppurative middle-ear disease, written by William Milligan, is particularly good, containing in small compass a very clear account of the symptoms, diagnosis and treatment, especially operative treatment, of these affections. We note that the author highly values the Wilde incision in the treatment of mastoid periostitis when the periostitis is primary or se...
