A high incidence of middle ear pathology is known to be associated with this problem (Bluestone, 1971). It is generally accepted that this population suffers from Eustachian tube dysfunction which leads in turn to the development of middle ear effusions and conductive hearing loss. T...

During routine biochemical screening of over 4,000 patients admitted to the Veterans Administration Wadsworth Hospital Center, a small number were found to have serum urate concentrations below 2-2 mg/100 ml.

We report the case of a patient with autophony diagnosed with a patulous Eustachian tube. The patient was treated according to the technique described by Bluestone and Cantekin, inserting an indwelling catheter into the tube. Good results were obtained after one year of monitoring.

nano-cufe2o4 catalysts with different cu/fe molar ratios (cunfemo(n+1.5m)) were prepared by hydrothermal method. the thermal decomposition performance of cunfemo(n+1.5m) on cuso4 were determined with tg-dsc method to evaluate its catalytic activity and the roasted product was characterized by xrd. the results showed that cunfemo(n+1.5m) had superior catalytic properties and efficiency to cuso4 ...
