To date, three species of the genus Glischropus are recognized from the Indomalayan zoogeographic region-G. bucephalus from the Indochinese subregion, G. tylopus from the Sundaic subregion (Peninsular Thailand and Malaysia, Borneo, Sumatra, Moluccas) and G. javanus, restricted to Java. The investigation of the holotype and three topotype specimens of G. batjanus supported the view that the name...

Preauricular sinuses are common congenital malformations that usually occur at the anterior margin of the ascending limb of the helix. There are rare cases in which the location of the preauricular sinus is posterior to the tragus, and the direction of the sinus tract is toward the posterior. This variant type of preauricular sinus is called, 'postauricular sinus'. Postauricular sinus is uncomm...

A 70-year-old Asian man with noninsulin-dependent diabetes presented with a 4-month history of left-sided otitis externa and right-sided facial palsy. Physical examination of the left ear revealed a punched-out ulcerative lesion on the tragus, an edematous and inflamed external auditory canal, and a purulent nonmucoid discharge. Computed tomography of the brain and neck demonstrated a large ret...

We present the case of a premature female patient, carrier of profound bilateral congenital sensorineural hearing loss. At 16 months a Nucleus Contour Advance was implanted in the right ear using posterior tympanotomy with opening of the facial recess and minimum drilling of the back wall of the external auditory canal (EAC). At the second year of evolution cholesteatoma became evident in the E...

O ver the past few decades, pharmacological therapy for heart failure (HF) with reduced ejection fraction has undergone striking advances. Large-scale randomized, controlled trials (RCTs) have established the efficacy of combination therapy with beta-blockers, angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors or receptor blockers, aldosterone antagonists, and neprilysin inhibitors. Much of the benefit o...

Children with mental retardation present certain cranial dysmorphisms. The author has studied the extent to which these dysmorphisms are characteristic to these children. The studies were carried out on 110 children with mental retardation aged between 4 and 18 years old and on a witness batch (control group) made up of 101 neuropsychically healthy children aged 4-18. The cranial perimeter, ant...
