Implant-Based Prosthetic Reconstruction in Patients with Congenital Ear Defects (Technical Note)
Background and aims: Loss of all or part of the ear is one of the significant defects in the head and neck area (regardless of the cause) that can result from trauma, cancer, congenital diseases, or surgery to remove benign tumors. These defects can be reconstructed with the help of surgical procedures or cosmetic prostheses. However, due to the complex structure of the ear, reconstructive surg...
متن کاملReading disability and defects of the middle ear.
The impedance bridge test is a sensitive and objective measure of the integrity and function of the middle ear. Tympanograms obtained from children with a specific reading disability were compared with those from a matched group of controls. A significantly higher prevalence of defects of the middle ear was shown in the test group.
متن کاملInner Ear Defects Induced by Null Mutationof the isk Gene
The isk gene is expressed in many tissues. Pharmacological evidence from the inner ear suggests that isk mediates potassium secretion into the endolymph. To examine the consequences of IsK null mutation on inner ear function, and to produce a system useful for examining the role(s) IsK plays elsewhere, we have produced a mouse strain that carries a disrupted isk locus. Knockout mice exhibit cla...
متن کاملA screen for genetic defects of the zebrafish ear
To advance the understanding of genetic mechanisms involved in the patterning and the differentiation of the vertebrate auditory system, we screened for mutations affecting ear development in the zebrafish larva. Fifteen recessive mutant alleles have been isolated and analyzed. The phenotypes of these mutants involve abnormalities in ear morphology, otolith formation, or both processes in paral...
متن کاملReconstruction of oncologic defects of the eyelid, lips and ear
Non melanomatous skin cancers constitute a major part of the cancers that occur in the face, especially in the darker skinned people. Surgical excision stays as the main modality of treatment in these giving very good cure rates. The major drawback of surgery is the resultant functional and esthetic deformity, which has been considerably reduced with proper application of reconstructive surgery...
