Clinical observation of patients with fluctuant sensorineural hearing loss following or occurring with chronic otitis media led to the hypothesis that endolymphatic hydrops can result from chronic otitis media. Illustrative case reports are described. This hypothesis resulted in a temporal bone
The effects of a combination of the leukotriene synthesis inhibitor (LSI) BAY X 1005 with the glucocorticosteroid dexamethasone were studied in the arachidonic acid (AA)-induced mouse ear inflammation test (AA-MEIT). We have determined the dose-dependent effects of dexamethasone to reduce edema
Propofol is an intravenous drug widely used for anesthesia and sedation. Previously, propofol was shown to inhibit cyclo-oxygenase (COX) and 5-lipoxygenase (5-LOX) activities. Because these enzyme-inhibiting effects have only been demonstrated in vitro, this study sought to ascertain whether similar
The brown seaweed Undaria pinnatifida (Harvey) Suringar is used in traditional medicine to treat fever, urination problems, lumps and swelling, and as a dietary supplement for post-childbirth women. We examined the anti-inflammatory activities of the seaweed. The methanol extract of the seaweed was
OBJECTIVE
To summarize the characteristics of laryngopharyngeal reflux (LPR) in patients with chronic otitis media.
METHODS
This was a prospective study in which 31 patients with chronic otitis media were enrolled. General patient information, reflux symptom index (RSI), reflux finding scores
OBJECTIVE
Our aim was to analyze the changes in middle ear pressure in the early period after adenoidectomy in children with adenoid hypertrophy without otitis media with effusion.
METHODS
This prospective, descriptive study was performed on 64 patients (with normal tympanic membranes and
OBJECTIVE
The presence of endolymphatic hydrops in the inner ear, which can be detected with gadolinium-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (Gd-MRI), is widely recognized as the main pathological cause of Ménière's disease (MD). However, the precise mechanisms underlying the development of
An animal model for pneumococcal otitis media was studied histologically at varying intervals postinoculation. Histologic changes generally associated with acute inflammation (edema, diffuse infiltration with polymorphonuclear leukocytes, and hemorrhage) occurred early in the disease while the ears
OBJECTIVE
Acute otitis media is a major cause of visits to pediatric health care providers. Myringotomy in uncomplicated acute otitis media is debatable today. The study addressed this problem through the otomicroscopic and histopathological observations of the events occurring in the tympanic
BACKGROUND
Otitis media may predispose for retraction pathologic abnormality later in life. A weakening of the collagen fiber bundles in the lamina propria of the tympanic membrane (TM) is a prerequisite for the formation of a retraction pocket. Various collagen types have different tensile
Pseudomonas otitis externa is one of the most common infections treated by otolaryngologists. Infections induced in 30 guinea pigs appeared similar to that seen in humans. The ears were then placed into four treatment groups: group A, which received a single cleaning; group B, which received a
The distribution of immunoglobulin-bearing cells and the pattern of histopathological changes in the middle ear (ME) mucosa, round window membrane (RWM), and inner ear were compared during acute and chronic immune-mediated otitis media with effusion (OME) in the guinea pig as an animal model. In
Lipopolysaccharide endotoxin (LPS) was extracted from Haemophilus influenzae type b by using Westphal's phenol water method. The ears of 40 adult male guinea pigs were subsequently inoculated with 10 micrograms/ml solutions of LPS by transmeatal injections. Groups of animals were then sacrificed
