accessory components. By collapsing the unnecessary space and reconstructing a new tragus, we achieved an ideal distance from the new tragus to the auditory canal, which could not be attained by filling the hollow using cartilage graft. Because the shape and conditions of polyotia are very inconstant and the incidence of this anomaly is rare, it is difficult to establish a uniform surgical tech...

1. Action potentials from sinus venosus and auricle fibers of spontaneously beating frog hearts have been recorded with intracellular electrodes. 2. Sinus fibers show a slow depolarization, the pacemaker potential, during diastole. The amplitude of this potential varies in different parts of the sinus. In some fibers the membrane potential falls by 11 to 15 mv. during diastole and the transitio...

BACKGROUND Pseudocyst of the auricle is a common benign disease. Many treatment modalities have been described for this benign condition ranging from simple aspiration to complex cutaneous surgeries involving skin de-roofing and debridement with diamond burr. the aim of treatment is to successfully resolve the seroma without damaging the underlying healthy cartilage, thus maintaining the norma...
