Introduction: The Eustachian tube plays a crucial role in pressure equalization between the middle ear and ambient for fast large differences. In patients with chronic dysfunction, balloon dilatation is increasingly used as surgical therapy. Subjectively, many report an improvement of symptoms postoperatively. Hence, there need to objectively measure this effect. Methods: objectivity was evaluated using precise method measuring function. hypo/hyperbaric chamber, 23 ears 13 were exposed...
Heterotopic ossification (HO) is an ectopic formation of the lamellar bone in soft tissue. According to underlying cause, HO can be subdivided into hereditary and acquired forms. We report on unusual post-mortal finding a subcutis at border lower abdomen pelvis 94-year-old woman. X-ray analysis as well histological examination was performed analyze structure. Bone structure confirmed. There were no signs acute or chronic inflammation surrounding tissue, neither upon macroscopic nor...
The Eustachian tube (ET) is essential for fast and direct pressure equalisation between middle ear ambient pressure. It not yet known to what extent function in healthy adults changes a weekly periodicity due internal external factors. This question particularly interesting with regard scuba divers among whom there need evaluate intraindividual ET variability.
