Objective: To asses and compare the hearing outcome healing of Temporalis fascia graft in both groups by placing medial (underlay technique) or lateral to handle malleus (over- underlay technique). Method: This retrospective study conducted for a period January,2018 December 2019- Two years Specialized ENT Hospital (SENTH) SAHIC (Society assistance impaired Children), Dhaka. It includes 104 pat...

The middle ear ossicles are only rarely preserved in fossil hominins. Here, we report the discovery of a complete ossicular chain (malleus, incus, and stapes) of Paranthropus robustus as well as additional ear ossicles from Australopithecus africanus. The malleus in both early hominin taxa is clearly human-like in the proportions of the manubrium and corpus, whereas the incus and stapes resembl...

A three-dimensional (3D) finite element (FE) model was developed to simulate the motion modes of the human middle ear structures. The model was based entirely on 3D reconstruction obtained from micro Computed Tomography (microCT) imaging. We solve the acoustics-structure interaction problem using COMSOL Multiphysics. Our results show that at low frequencies, the classical hinging motion is domi...

INTRODUCTION Stapes fixation combined with disorders of the incudo-malleolar complex disorders requires a sound transmission reconstruction that often is difficult to solve. This circumstance can turn up in several pathologies and also in revision surgery for otosclerosis. PATIENTS AND METHODS We present our experience with four patients that underwent to malleostapedotomy with removal of the...

A historical background to the writing of the Malleus Maleficarum is given. The psychosexual dysfunctions classified in the D. S. M. Ill are compared with those described by the Malleus.A brief mention is made of the Koro-like syndrome described in the Malleus.

Authoritative anatomical references depict domestic dogs and cats as having a malleus with a short rostral (anterior) process that is connected via a ligament to the ectotympanic of the auditory bulla. Similar mallei have been reported for representatives of each of the 15 extant families of Carnivora, the placental order containing dogs and cats. This morphology is in contrast to a malleus wit...

In this research, anatomical descriptions of the structure of the temporal bone and auditory ossicles have been performed based on dissection of ten guinea pigs. The results showed that, in guinea pig temporal bone was similar to other animals and had three parts; squamous, tympanic and petrous .The tympanic part was much better developed and consisted of oval shaped tympanic bulla with many re...

INTRODUCTION One of the most difficult and time-consuming steps in malleostapedotomy surgery is the crimping of the prosthesis onto the malleus handle manually. The advent of the nitinol prosthesis (Gyrus nitinol piston [GNP]; Gyrus ENT LLC, Bartlett, TN) significantly reduced the difficulty of this surgical step, rendering its fixation to the malleus easy and fast. However, Kwok et al. analyze...

OBJECTIVES In tympanoplasty operations if perforation is related with malleus handle, malleus handle is desepithelised. We planned this research to investigate whether the epithelial remnants remain as a result of this desepithelisation or not. METHODS The 35 patients who were performed tympanoplasty operation were divided into two groups. In the first group which included 13 patients the tip...
