Otitis media occurs along a continuum. For example, otitis media with effusion characterized by fluid pathology can lead to chronic otitis media plus chronic mastoiditis, characterized by the presence of intractable tissue pathology such as cholesteatoma, cholesterol granuloma or granulation tissue. The literature defines chronic otitis media as having a tympanic membrane perforation and otorrh...

Objective To perform a comprehensive review of the literature from July 2011 until June 2015 on the virology and bacteriology of otitis media in children. Data Sources PubMed database of the National Library of Medicine. Review Methods Two subpanels comprising experts in the virology and bacteriology of otitis media were created. Each panel reviewed the relevant literature in the fields of viro...

Objective: To investigate the expression of receptor for advanced glycation endproducts (RAGE) in adenoid hypertrophy in children and the change in the level of soluble receptor for advanced glycation endproducts (sRAGE) in tympanic effusion. Methods: Fifteen adenoidal specimens were collected from patients with adenoidal hypertrophy and secretory otitis media and patients with simple adenoidal...

Identifying and treating otitis media in pets is a challenging situation for the veterinarian, a frustrating event in the pet owner’s life, and a painful condition for the patient. When a veterinarian does not properly diagnose and treat otitis media, pet owners often seek second, third, and fourth opinions from neighbouring veterinary practices. The diagnosis of otitis media in dogs can be qui...

Health technology The study evaluated tympanomastoid surgery. A comparator was not explicitly stated at the outset, although it was likely to be no tympanomastoid surgery. The health technology was compared between two different patient groups. These were patients with wet ear suffering from chronic suppurative otitis media (CSOM) and patients with dry ear suffering from CSOM. The wet-ear group...

The following paper describes a data fusion oriented approach for a novel information handling on integrated ship’s bridge systems using agents. A Joint Data Laboratories based data fusion model was used for the ship navigational data handling. First experiments supported by data from a Voyage Data Recorder, extern knowledge data bases and various defined information layers will be discussed. T...

note~ for Max consists of four objects for the Software Max/MSP which allow sequencing in floating point resolution and provide a Graphical User Interface and a Scripting Interface for generating events within a timeline. Due to the complete integration into Max/MSP it is possible to control almost every type of client like another software, audio and video or extern hardware by note~ or contro...

Tuberculosis is a rare cause of chronic suppurative otitis media and mastoiditis; the predisposing factors of this association, however, are not commonly described. There has been an alarming increase in the incidence of tuberculosis in Brazil, including tuberculous otitis media. These patients typically present multiple perforations of the tympanic membrane, an ear discharge, and progressive h...
