Recent research has revealed an association between hearing impairment and dementia. The objective of this study is to determine the effect on dementia incidence in a longitudinal study, whether ear, nose, throat (ENT) specialist care, care level, institutionalization, or depression mediates moderates pathway. present used sample 154,783 persons aged 65 older from claims data largest German health insurer; containing 14,602 incident diagnoses 2006 2010. Dementia were defined according...
The increased knowledge regarding HPV-infections in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) has unexpectedly contributed to several uncertainties related i) prevalence diversities depending on tumour site geographical origin of the patients, ii) proportion HPV-driven tumours among HPV-DNA-positive cases, iii) identification patients with HPV-attributed survival benefit. To investigate this heterogeneity, we analysed 307 HNSCC cases (tonsillar, n=135; non-tonsillar, n=172) from eight...
Objectives To determine the association between hearing impairment and dementia. Design Cross‐sectional study. Setting Claims data of Allgemeine Ortskrankenkasse, largest public health insurance company in Germany. Participants Age‐stratified sample all insured persons aged 65 above first quarter 2007 (N = 1,338,462). Measurements Metaregression analysis on regional prevalence dementia controlled for major vascular risk factors, including hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, diabetes...
The role of bacteria in chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is still not well understood. Whole microbiome analysis adds new aspects to our current understanding that mainly based on isolated bacteria. It unclear how the results and classical culture approaches interrelate. To address this, middle meatus swabs tissue samples were obtained during sinus surgery 5 patients with CRS nasal polyps (CRSwNP), diffuse without (CRSsNP), unilateral purulent maxillary (upm CRS) 3 healthy mucosa. Swabs...
Tracheal intubation without muscle relaxants is usually performed with remifentanil and propofol or sevoflurane. Remifentanil 1.0 to 4.0 μg·kg-1 2.0-3.0 mg·kg-1 sevoflurane up 8.0 Vol% provide acceptable, i.e. excellent good intubating conditions. We hypothesized that MAC would acceptable conditions when combined remifentanil. Eighty-three patients be intubated were randomised two groups. The SEVO group received 1.5 mg kg-1, 0.30 μg kg min-1 MAC; the MR same doses of plus rocuronium 0.45...
Background: Hearing-related quality of life (QoL) after cochlear implantation (CI) is as important audiological performance. We evaluated the functional results and QoL CI in a heterogeneous patient cohort with emphasis on patients long-term deafness (>10 years). Methods: Twenty-eight (n = 32 implanted ears, within n 12 deaf ears) mid-scala electrode array were included this retrospective mono-centric study. Speech intelligibility for monosyllables (SIM), speech reception thresholds (SRT50)...
Our aim was to evaluate the validity and reliability of clinically relevant tests in diagnosis Menière's disease (MD) according criteria formulated during 2015 as well their efficacy detecting endolymphatic hydrops (EH). The focus on: three-dimensional fluid-attenuated inversion recovery-SPectral Attenuated Inversion Recovery (3D-FLAIR-SPAIR) sequences using 3 Tesla magnetic resonance imaging (3T MRI) performed 24 hours after intratympanic Gadolinium injection (IT-Gd) comparison with...
Iatrogenic tracheal rupture is a rare complication after intubation. We present three patients with tears. In all of these patients, common finding was lesion the posterior wall postoperative subcutaneous and emphysema as first clinical sign rupture. Diagnosis follow-up were based on endoscopic findings chest computed tomography (CT) scans. our cases progressive mediastinal or dyspnea, we performed tracheotomy bypassed tracheostomy tube to avoid an increase in air leakage into mediastinum....
To assess positioning accuracy in otosurgery and to test the impact of two-handed instrument holding technique support on surgical precision. an otologic training model with optical tracking.In total, 14 ENT surgeons same department different levels experience performed static dynamic tasks microinstruments under simulated otosurgical conditions.Tip motion microinstrument was registered three dimensions by tracking during 10 simulating steps such as prosthesis crimping dissection middle ear...
Purpose To evaluate the long-term benefits in hearing-related quality of life, patient satisfaction and wearing time patients rehabilitated with an active transcutaneous bone-conduction device. Adverse events audiological outcomes are reported as secondary outcomes. Methods This retrospective, mono-centric cohort analysis involves 16 adults conductive or mixed hearing loss a mean device experience 51.25 months. Patient-reported outcome measures were assessed using short version Speech,...
To explore the origin of "physiological" ear clicks during deglutition or other pharyngeal movements, which, in contrast to disturbing frequent under pathologic conditions, mostly remain unnoticed by patient.Clinical experimental study at a tertiary referral center.Ear were recorded microphone sealing external canal parallel endoscopic manometric evaluations Eustachian tube function.Obviously, acoustic signals (clicks) appear when opens. The might be explained disruption fluid mucus films...
Abstract Introduction In cochlear implantation, objective fitting methods are needed to optimize audiological results in small children or patients with poor compliance. Intraoperatively measured electrically evoked stapedius reflexes (eSR) can be used as a marker for the patient’s discomfort level. The aim of this study was develop and evaluate an automated detection method eSR compare it rate surgeon independent observers. Methods Cochlear implantation using fully digital surgical...
To evaluate the effect of nasal decongestants on eustachian tube (ET) opening.A prospective nonrandomized study.A tertiary referral center.Twenty-four patients (44 ears) with intact eardrums, 39 (43 having a noninfected eardrum defect, and six an upper airway infection.Nasal or intratympanal (in perforated application decongestant (xylometazoline 0.1%).Change opening quality (yes no; better worse) measuring parameters (pressure, latency) using Estève method pressure equalization tests...
Hintergrund: Passagere Hochtonverluste nach CO2-assistierter Stapeschirurgie sind beschrieben worden. Ob thermische Effekte während und CO2-Laserstapedotomie dafür verantwortlich sind, ist unklar. Ziel der thermografischen Untersuchung ist, die Wärmeausbreitung bei darzustellen.
Objective The overall intubation conditions after tracheal with remifentanil, propofol, and sevoflurane at 1.0 minimum alveolar concentration (MAC) are worse than rocuronium 0.45 mg/kg. Therefore, we compared the laryngeal morbidity (vocal cord injuries, hoarseness, sore throat) 1.2 1.4 MAC versus MAC. Methods In this prospective clinical trial, 90 patients were randomized to 3 groups: 1.0, 1.2, groups. At min, was performed patients' assessed. vocal cords examined for injury by...
