The oral probiotic Streptococcus salivarius K12 has been shown clearly to antagonize the growth of pyogenes, most important bacterial cause pharyngeal infections in humans, by releasing two bacteriocins named salivaricin A2 and B. Unpublished observations indicate that it can also other bacteria involved acute otitis media. Because its ability colonize cavity safety profile, we have tested efficacy reducing incidence streptococcal pharyngitis and/or tonsillitis episodes media.We enrolled 82...
Since the spreading of SARS-CoV-2 from China, all deferrable medical activities have been suspended, to redirect resources for management COVID patients. The goal this retrospective study was investigate impact COVID-19 on head and neck cancers' diagnosis in our Academic Hospital.A analysis patients treated cancers between March 12 November 1, 2020 carried out, we compared these data with diagnoses same periods 5 previous years.47 were included study. We observed a significative reduction...
Few studies have investigated the neuropsychological profile of Hearing Loss (HL) subjects and effects hearing-aid on cognitive decline. We HL patients at baseline compared profiles with without 6 month. Fifty-six 40 healthy (HC) underwent behavioral examination were baseline. Changes follow-up between (N = 25) 31) hearing-aids. At baseline, significant differences HC found in MOCA test, Raven's Coloured Progressive Matrices (CPM) SF-36. Among mild-HL patients, significantly improved Clock...
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,...
Abstract Age‐related hearing loss (HL) can be related to brain dysfunction or structural damage and may result in cerebral metabolic/perfusion abnormalities. Arterial spin labeling (ASL) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) allows investigating noninvasively perfusion changes. Pseudocontinuous ASL T1‐weighted MRI (at 3 T) neuropsychological testing (Montreal Cognitive Assessment) were performed 31 HL (age range = 47–77 years, mean age ± SD 63.4 8.4 pure‐tone average [PTA] > 50 dB) 28 normal...
Abstract Ménière's disease (MD) is a disorder of the inner ear characterized by an insidious onset and aspecific symptoms, such as dizziness, vertigo, tinnitus, hearing loss, that may become very debilitating. The presence endolymphatic hydrops common feature in MD patients, but pathophysiology still largely unknown. In this study, we have used proteomics‐driven approach to identify potential biomarkers MD. To end, plasma was obtained from whole blood 16 individuals previously diagnosed...
