Background The temporal muscle fascia is the most widely used type of tissue graft in revision myringoplasty procedures. aim this study was to verify if use a cartilage may be valid alternative temporalis fascia. Tympanic reperforations are frequent after myringoplasty, especially complicated, large, or anterior perforations, so we decided compare neodrum stability two different surgical techniques. Materials and methods conducted on 42 patients who underwent carried out with overlay...
Introduction Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo is the most frequent peripheral vestibular disorder, characterized by brief but intense crises related to changes in position. The Liberatory maneuver considered gold-standard treatment, with a short-term resolution of over 70% cases, and achieving 90% success rate after four maneuvers. An immediate reaction subsequent repositioning often an orthotropic nystagmus (Ny) occurring same direction as Ny observed returning primary This reaction,...
Background/Objectives: The management of oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC) often involves multidisciplinary decision-making to optimize patient outcomes. Surgery and chemoradiation therapy (CRT) represent the two main treatment modalities. aim this cross-sectional study was provide a comprehensive analysis quality life, speech, swallowing, sleep, psychological distress, nutritional status in OPSCC patients treated with either surgery or CRT. Methods: Thirty subjects were divided...
This study aimed at the evaluation of a simplified Italian matrix test (SiIMax) for speech-recognition measurements in noise adults and children. Speech-recognition with children were conducted to examine training effect establish reference thresholds 50% (SRT50) 80% (SRT80) correct responses. Test-list equivalency was evaluated only adults. Twenty 96 children—aged between 5 10 years—participated. Evaluation confirmed equivalence lists, mean SRT50 −8.0 dB standard deviation 0.2 across lists....
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect tobacco use on Eustachian tube and inner ear function.Case-control study.Thirty-one nonsmoking volunteers 34 smoking subjects recruited in an University Hospital, submitted audiological evaluation including pure tone audiometry, basal tympanogram, stapedial reflexes analysis, nine-step eustachian (ET) function test.Pure Tone Average (PTA) threshold at all frequencies tested 12.5 dB smokers 3.7 subjects. Nine (27%) presented some degree...
Abstract Objective There is a growing interest in sodium hyaluronate for the clinical management of patients who undergo functional endoscopic sinus surgery chronic rhinosinusitis, because mucosal regenerative properties this macromolecule. However, its role post-operative care still debated. This study aimed to evaluate effect administered via nasal irrigation with saline, period, after surgery. Methods A multicentric, prospective, randomised, double-blind, parallel group was conducted on...
Objective To evaluate speech in noise results and subjective benefit bilateral active bone conduction implant (ABCI) for mixed hearing loss. Study Design Prospective, comparative. Setting Ear, Nose Throat Unit, Department of Surgical Sciences, University Turin. Patients Seven patients with conductive/mixed Intervention(s) underwent simultaneous or sequential surgery ABCI. Main Outcome Measure(s) The intelligibility was assessed the Ita Matrix test summation, squelch head shadow settings....
The first aim was to determine the prevalence, kind, and functional effects on hearing of ossicular chain suffering (OCS) in chronic otitis without cholesteatoma (NCOM) tympanic perforations (TP). second correlate findings with clinical parameters level.The study group comprised 250 consecutive patients affected by NCOM who were subjected tympanoplasty never operated before. Each patient underwent preoperative pure tone audiometry. Ossicles evaluated during surgery. incidence OCS reported...
To date, no clear specific cognitive predictors of speech perception outcome in older adult cochlear implant (CI) users have yet emerged. The aim this prospective study was to increase knowledge on and clinical the audiological users. A total 21 patients with post-lingual deafness, who were candidates for implantation, recruited at Department Ear, Nose Throat, University Torino (Italy) subjected a pre-operatory neuropsychological assessment (T0) an examination after 12 months implantation...
Objective This pilot case-control study is aimed to estimate ‘musical effort’ and pleasantness’ in adults normal hearing (NH) Unilateral Cochlear Implant (UCI) users via neurophysiological indices a cognitive-behavioural approach. Methods 7 NH UCI subjects underwent electroencephalographic (EEG) recording with two EEG indices, Approach Withdrawal (AW) Workload (WI), behavioural tests conducted during forced-choice musical emotion recognition task performed quiet noise emotional conditions....
The COVID-19 pandemic profoundly modified the work routine in healthcare; however, its impact on field of paediatric otorhinolaryngology (ORL) has been rarely investigated. aim this study was to assess ORL.A questionnaire developed by Young Otolaryngologists Italian Society ORL-Head and Neck Surgery (GOS). consisted 26 questions related workplace personal ORL activities. link advertised official social media platforms sent e-mail 469 otolaryngologists.The completed 118 responders. During...
Background: Post-operative infections in head and neck cancer (HNC) surgery represent a major problem are associated with an important increase mortality, morbidity, burden on the healthcare system. The aim of this retrospective observational study was to evaluate post-operative HNC analyze risk factors, specific focus different sites infection. Methods: Clinical data about 488 patients who underwent were recorded. Univariate multivariate analyses performed identify factors for infections....
Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) represents the most frequent cause of peripheral vertigo. In cases, it is successfully treated using canalith repositioning procedure, but often followed by continuous lightheadedness in absence or nystagmus (residual dizziness, RD). Our aim to describe clinical effectiveness and urine metabolomics profile treating these patients with polyphenol compound supplementation. We enrolled 30 reporting RD after BPPV posterior semicircular canal (PSC)...
To determine the benefits of binaural hearing rehabilitation in patients with monaural conductive or mixed loss treated a unilateral bone conduction implant (BCI).
Abstract Cochlear implant users experience difficulties controlling their vocalizations compared to normal hearing peers. However, less is known about voice quality. The primary aim of the present study was determine if cochlear users’ quality would be categorized as dysphonic by Acoustic Voice Quality Index (AVQI) and smoothed cepstral peak prominence (CPPS). A secondary vocal further impacted when using bilateral implants only one implant. final how residual impacts Twenty-seven...
Background: To assess and compare binaural benefits subjective satisfaction of active bone conduction implant (BCI) in patients with bilateral conductive or mixed hearing loss fitted BCI monaural BCI. Methods: ITA Matrix test was performed both on affected by (Bonebridge, Med-El) before after implantation contralateral The Abbreviated Profile Hearing Aid Benefit (APHAB) questionnaire administered to groups subjects the results were compared each other. Results: Patients group 1 reported a...
Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) is a frequent benign vestibular condition usually managed with particle repositioning manoeuvres,such as Semont manoeuvre (SM). Since few authors have described prognostic aspects of liberatory manoeuvres, the purpose present studywas to investigate possibility considering in final sitting position SM symptom outcome posteriorBPPV. One hundred and thirteen patients diagnosis unilateral posterior BPPV were taking into account our retrospective...
