Evidence has linked age-related hearing impairment (ARHI) with cognitive decline; however, very few studies (none in the United Kingdom) explore this link large well-characterized groups of community-dwelling individuals.To investigate between ARHI and decline using a cohort elderly individuals from Kingdom untreated loss social isolation as potential explanations for observed link.This cross-sectional analysis wave 7 (June 2014 through May 2015) English Longitudinal Study Ageing (ELSA)...
Objectives The aim of this study was to investigate the surgical revision rate in patients with chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) UK CRS Epidemiology Study (CRES). Previous evidence from National Sinonasal Audit showed that 1459 demonstrated a 19.1% at 5 years, highest rates seen those polyps (20.6%). Setting Thirty secondary care centres around UK. Participants A total 221 controls and 1249 were recruited including (CRSwNPs), without (CRSsNPs) allergic fungal (AFRS). Interventions...
Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is a common disorder associated with other respiratory tract diseases such as asthma and inhalant allergy. However, the prevalence of these co-morbidities varies considerably in existing medical literature by phenotype CRS studied. The study objective was to identify asthma, allergy aspirin sensitivity patients referred secondary care establish any differences between phenotypes. All participants were diagnosed according international guidelines invited complete...
Nowadays, several options are available to treat patients with conductive or mixed hearing loss. Whenever surgical intervention is not possible contra-indicated, and amplification by a conventional device (e.g., behind-the-ear device) feasible, then implantable devices an indispensable next option. Implantable bone-conduction middle-ear implants have advantages but also limitations concerning complexity/invasiveness of the surgery, medical complications, effectiveness. To counsel patient,...
Tinnitus service provision in the United Kingdom has been investigated from healthcare provider's perspective demonstrating considerable regional variation particularly regarding availability of psychological treatments. An audiological-based tinnitus service, however, was reportedly available for all patients UK. The aim current study to define and evaluate nationwide services patients' viewpoint. Secondary analyses were performed on data a 33-item questionnaire provided by British...
Introduction: Mastoid surgery is technically challenging with complex three-dimensional (3D) anatomy. With reduced access to traditional training methods and increasing new technologies available, virtual reality simulation being evaluated in a regional program as an adjunct existing structures. Methods: Twenty higher surgical trainees were instructed complete cortical mastoidectomy posterior tympanotomy on VOXEL-MAN simulator (VOXEL-MAN, Hamburg, Germany). A pre- post-session questionnaire...
Vestibular disorders affect an individual's stability, balance, and gait predispose them to falls. Traditional laboratory-based semi-objective vestibular assessments are intrusive cumbersome provide little information about their functional ability. Commercially available wearable inertial sensors allow us make this real life objective, with a detailed view of abilities. Timed Up Go (TUG) Postural Sway tests commonly used for balance assessments. Our aim was assess the feasibility,...
Abstract We present a case of bilateral absence the eighth cranial nerve in internal auditory meatus (IAM). This caused total failure responses after cochlear implantation six-year-old patient with congenital deafness. Pre-operative magnetic resonance (MR)imaging is important to show not only anatomy middle and inner ears but also structures IAM.
One hundred consecutive adult cochlear implant patients, numbered 101 to 200 in an ongoing series, were prospectively monitored and data collected using the same protocol as for first 100 patients. The study period was 1999 2001. total number of procedures 122. Changes practice following implants included a standard surgical technique with smaller incision lesser flap mobilization, routine facial nerve monitoring. As far practicable, commercial type used. There 111 (91 per cent) implantation...
A relationship between Meniere's disease and migraine has been postulated previously. This study investigates this further determines the most influential factors for developing disease.Epidemiological study.Two tertiary referral Neuro-Otological centres in Sheffield Sydney.Adult patients referred to Neuro-Otology clinic 2003 2010.Past history family of migraine. Logistic regression analysis determine disease.One hundred eighty-one were included study, 102 with 79 other balance disorders....
