STUDY DESIGN A 1:1 case/control design of 100 cas...

OBJECTIVES To demonstrate improvements in validated quality-of-life measures for otitis media and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and an objective score for pediatric reflux obtained by fiberoptic laryngoscopy after treatment with antireflux precautions and therapy in children diagnosed as having either recurrent acute otitis media or otitis media with effusion and GERD. DESIGN Prospec...
BACKGROUND Appropriate use of antibiotics is one of the major issues in medicine today. In most countries, acute otitis media in children is treated with antibiotics; however, the efficacy of antibiotic use in every acute otitis media is a controversial issue. It may be worthwhile looking for special risk groups that benefit more from antibiotic treatment for acute otitis media. Children under ...
abstract background: the children with middle ear effusion need repeated re-tympanostomies. adenoidectomy is an effective surgical intervention in the management of chronic otitis media with effusion in conjunction with in-sertion of tympanostomy tubes (tts). to find out whether tts in different positions decrease the rate of re-tympanostomies study was done. methods: the present study retrospe...
background: hearing loss due to chronic otitis media is common. the purpose of this study was to evaluate hearing before and after canal wall up, canal wall down mastoidectomy and tympanoplasty. methods: from 2004 to 2007, all patients with chronic otitis media who were admitted at the department of otolaryngology, babol medical university were studied. for 126 patients' canal wall up, can...
introduction: the aim of this study was to evaluate the condition of the ossicular chain in patients requiring surgery for cholesteatoma. materials and methods: in a retrospective analysis, the destruction of the individual and combined bony structures of the ear was described in 166 patients with cholesteatoma who went through surgery in our otology center between 2003 and 2009. results: tot...
introduction: in developing countries, chronic otitis media (com) and cholesteatoma are relatively prevalent. within the field of otology, com surgery remains one of the most common surgical treatments. most recent studies evaluating the potential prognostic factors in com surgery have addressed graft success rate and types of middle ear and mastoid pathology. there has been much controversy a...
