To investigate vestibuloocular reflex (VOR) adaptation produced by changes in peripheral vestibular afference, we developed and tested a "prosthesis" that senses yaw-axis angular head velocity uses this information to modulate the rate of electrical pulses applied lateral canal ampullary nerve. The ability brain adapt different components VOR (gain, phase, axis, symmetry) during chronic prosthetic stimulation was studied two squirrel monkeys. After characterizing normal VOR, electrodes were...
Objectives Endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS) is often necessary when managing odontogenic sinusitis (ODS), but ESS extent for ODS with extramaxillary involvement has been incompletely studied. This study compared outcomes after wide maxillary antrostomy (MA) alone versus complete frontal involvement. Methods A multicenter prospective cohort was conducted on patients uncomplicated (no extrasinus spread) who underwent computed tomography demonstrated maxillary, anterior ethmoid (AE), and...

Key points Social determinants of health link to worse quality life in pediatric chronic rhinosinusitis. The area deprivation index (ADI) may serve predict disparities these patients.
Chronic adenoiditis (CA) and chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) in children are difficult to distinguish based on symptoms alone. A computed tomography (CT) scan is one way between the two entities. The purpose of this study was determine whether CT scores can predict outcome adenoidectomy.A retrospective review performed over a 10-year period. All who failed medical treatment had an adenoidectomy, which were reviewed. Children score ≥5 included CA with concurrent CRS group, whereas those <5...
The aim of this study was to compare eHealth literacy-one's perception one's ability use the Internet for health care-among otolaryngology patients in 3 geographic settings same department.An academic department.Patients' opinions and perceptions their literacy were assessed with a validated paper survey administered summer 2017.Of 381 asked, 351 people completed survey, 149 at university town teaching hospital clinic (group A), 101 nearby rural B), remote C). Mean scores 30.80, 28.97, 29.03...
Endolymphatic hydrops in temporal bones with otologic syphilis directly relates to osteitis, new bone formation, and/or resorption along the course of endolymphatic system.Ménière's disease and otosyphilis both cause progressive hydrops, mechanism formation each process remains unclear. Traditionally, osteitic changes labyrinthine capsule were thought lead syphilitic bones. More recently, authors have suggested that microgummata inflammatory change obliterating duct sac may otosyphilis.This...
The objective of our study was to assess the long-term effectiveness balloon catheter sinuplasty in treatment pediatric chronic maxillary sinusitis following failed first-line medical and surgical management with adenoidectomy. Pediatric patients younger than 12 years were reviewed for having previous adenoidectomy undergone a between August 2006 March 2011 rhinosinusitis. Demographic data clinical characteristics recorded who met inclusion criteria. Outcomes assessed by need functional...
<i>Objectives:</i> Scala communis or interscalar septum (IS) defect is a developmental abnormality of the inner ear characterized by dehiscence in partition separating turns cochlea. The goals present study were to (1) this anomaly and describe its characteristics compared control ears using histological analysis temporal bones, (2) discuss radiological implications regarding diagnosis, (3) embryological derivation. <i>Methods:</i> Out 1775 bones assessed, 22...
Objective: To describe the histopathologic findings in temporal bones of a patient with Susac's syndrome (SS). Background: The key clinical features SS consist symptoms encephalopathy, visual defects due to occlusion branches retinal artery, and sensorineural hearing loss. otopathology has not been described. Materials Methods: A 51-year-old woman was hospitalized severe headache, rapidly progressive bilateral low-frequency Magnetic resonance imaging showed lesions corpus callosum....
The anterior ethmoidal artery (AEA) flap has been demonstrated to be a reliable option for endoscopic repair of symptomatic nasal septal perforations. purpose this study is the outcome technique.A retrospective case series all consecutive patients who underwent perforation utilizing AEA among 2 institutions from August 2020 July 2022 was conducted. Demographics and comorbidities were collected preoperatively postoperatively. main identify risk factors surgical failure.Forty-one included....
To evaluate the outcome of immunoglobulin (IG) replacement therapy in adults with rhinosinusitis and primary humoral immunodeficiency disorders (PID).Retrospective cohort study.Retrospective chart review adult (18 years older) patients who were diagnosed PID had diagnosis recurrent acute (RARS) chronic (CRS) are on IG therapy. Demographic data, associated conditions, duration treatment reviewed. Number yearly sinus infections, CT Lund-Mackay (LM) score, need for functional endoscopic surgery...
