Polypoidal organization of aspirated amniotic squamous debris(amnion nodosum) in middle-ear cavity of newborn infants.
نویسنده
چکیده
The development of polypoidal structures, derived from organization of amniotic squamous debris, in the middle-ear cavity of 3 infants is described. The lesions mimicked the development of amnion nodosum lesions of the placenta and were attached to either the tympanic membrane or the head of the stapes. They were accompained by atypical metaplastic changes in the middle-ear epithelium. While the clinical significance of the structural changes is uncertain, they strengthen the case for histopathological examination of the middle ear in infant necropsies.

Although several alternatives are available to overcome the first difficulty, differential staining of woven and lamellar bone has not been described. In 1958, Attwood modified Lendrum's (1947) phloxine-tartrazine stain to identify f...

There is no indication that a direct extension of the infection by way of the middle ear, the cranial sinuses or the pia-arachnoid sheath of the olf...
متن کاملIdentifying the Optimal Age to Perform Newborn Screening for Hearing Loss in Uganda
BACKGROUND Permanent congenital hearing loss affects up to 6/1000 births in developing countries. Currently, in Uganda there is no newborn screening for hearing loss (NSHL) program and no published work on this topic.

متن کاملDetection of otoacoustic emissions in chinchilla when the middle ear contains amniotic fluid.
OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS Otoacoustic emissions have frequently been used for newborn hearing screening. However, they have low specificities and high referral rates. The presence of amniotic fluid in the middle ear is one reason for these problems. The aim of this study was to determine the effects of human amniotic fluid on otoacoustic emissions and on middle-ear function. METHODS Forty-six chi...
