Intracranial atherosclerosis is a leading cause of stroke and cognitive dysfunction. Calcification intracranial atherosclerotic plaques commonly observed on noncontrast CT, yet structural imaging alone cannot visualize active microcalcifications characteristic progressive atheroma. 18 F-NaF an emerging PET radiotracer vascular microcalcification that may enable the detection such pathophysiology. In this report, we present molecular left vertebral artery incidentally found PET/CT 64-year-old...
The objective of this retrospective case review is to examine the effect surgical learning on hearing outcomes and complications in congenital aural atresia surgery.Sixty-four consecutive ears (in 60 patients) operated during period 1994 2004 at a tertiary referral center were studied.Intervention consisted atresiaplasty through an anterior approach by same surgeon (C.S.).Hearing complication rates compared between four temporally sequential groups 16 ears. Acceptable rate defined as results...
Intralabyrinthine schwannomas are a small subset of vestibular which originate within the labyrinthine structures. Management typically consists watch-and-wait strategies given that surgical intervention will sacrifice hearing. Endoscopic resection primary intracochlear schwannoma with simultaneous cochlear implantation for patient progressive hearing loss and debilitating tinnitus is described.A 56-year-old male presenting asymmetric left sensorineural (SNHL) was diagnosed on MRI.Surgery...
Patients frequently use the internet to gain information and make decisions about their health conditions. This work aims assess quality of Vestibular Schwannoma on a popular video sharing platform, YouTube (Alphabet Inc.).To most vestibular schwannoma videos using recognized scoring systems whether metrics correlated with popularity based metadata analysis.Public domain.Cross-sectional Study.The website was systematically searched separate days formal search strategy identify relevant...
Whether universal precautions training has reduced percutaneous sharps injuries is questioned. Prevention programs directed to specific problem areas are required further reduce injury. Our purpose was identify target areas.Device-specific injury rates per 100,000 devices purchased were determined by department at Yale New Haven Hospital (1993 1994). Usage full-time equivalent calculated department. Rates modelled using Poisson regression.Three epidemiologic patterns resulted: (1)...
Objectives/Hypothesis Otolaryngology instructional videos available online are often of poor quality. The objective this article was to establish international consensus recommendations for the production educational surgical in otolaryngology. Study Design DELPHI survey. Methods Twenty‐seven respondents participated study from 12 countries. Consensus reached after three rounds questionnaires following Delphi methodology. proposals having 80% agreement threshold third round were retained....
To assess the feasibility, safety, and efficacy of transtympanic balloon catheter dilatation Eustachian tube (ET) in a cadaver model.A cadaveric study 10 heads, which underwent unilateral ET with 3 × 20 mm full endoscopic guidance visualization.Procedural safety was demonstrated, no damage to any essential structures found. Feasibility procedure demonstrated all cadavers 100% success rate, despite small number encountered difficulties. Statistically significant also both radiologic...
Abstract Objective: Totally endoscopic ear surgery is a relatively new method for managing chronic disease. This study aimed to test the null hypothesis that open and approaches have similar direct costs management of attic cholesteatoma, from an Australian private hospital setting. Methods: A retrospective cost comparison totally traditional canal wall up mastoidectomy cholesteatoma in tertiary setting was undertaken. Indirect future were excluded. anaesthetic setup resources, operative...
To establish whether nasal bony landmarks on computed tomography could be utilised reliably in endoscopic approaches to the sphenopalatine foramen.A prospective analysis of 102 consecutive helical scans paranasal sinuses was carried out by 2 senior ENT surgeons. Distances from foramen endoscopically palpable were measured.There a total patients (45 females and 57 males), with mean age 62 years. The distance posterior fontanelle 14.1 mm (standard deviation = 2.13). average vertical opening...
Abstract Background Eustachian tube dysfunction (ETD) is a common clinical condition encountered by otolaryngologists. The severity and duration of symptoms range from the mild transient to chronic severe along with secondary pathologies. Balloon dilation eustachian tuboplasty (BDET) as treatment, was first described in 2010 has been studied extensively. This study evaluates efficacy safety BDET an Australian cohort. Methods Retrospective chart review on all patients who underwent September...
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic autoimmune disease characterized by systemic inflammation and joint destruction, leading to significant morbidity reduced quality of life. Although progress has been made in the management RA over past few decades, many patients still fail respond adequately currently available therapies. This article aims review current landscape treatment explore potential novel therapeutic approaches that hold promise for future. Advances our understanding underlying...
