The aural, oesophageal, and rectal temperatures of 10 term infants were monitored during changes in environmental temperature. The aural temperature in normal infants was found to be consistently higher than at any other site. It is suggested that this finding is due to the local heating effect of brain metabolism and shows the important contribution to total body heat production made by the br...

OBJECTIVE Supra-aural audiometric headphones are generally not recommended for use in measuring the attenuation of earplugs, because contact between the headphone and pinna and/or earplug could alter the attenuation obtained, and because of concerns of non-comparability between modes of excitation from supra-aural headphones and the sound-field procedure required by the standardized method. In ...

Equine aural plaques were recently associated with four equine papillomaviruses (EcPVs) (Lange et al., 2013; Taniwaki et al., 2013). These viruses have been detected in fresh samples by PCR (Lange et al. 2013; Taniwaki et al., 2013), but EcPVs have not been identified in formalinfixed and paraffin-embedded (FFPE) aural plaque samples. Archives of FFPE aural plaques and other papilloma specimens...

The level of interest in aural rehabilitation has increased recently, both in clinical use and in research presentations and publications. Advances in aural rehabilitation have seen previous techniques such as speech tracking and analytic auditory training reappear in computerized forms. These new delivery methods allow for a consistent, cost-effective, and convenient training program. Several ...

Abstract Introduction Unrelenting unilateral otalgia in an elderly or diabetic immunocompromised patient is clinically suspicious for necrotising otitis externa (NOE). This advancement of normal diffuse OE that can complicate into a number severe neurological pathologies, and it becoming increasingly common1. We report case here NOE became acutely apparent following ear syringing, due to the in...
