   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Middle ear; tympanic membrane; otitis media; heat myringotomy; laser myringotomy; tympanostomy tube; transmyringeal ventilation;

   Abstract : A prerequisite for a functioning middle ear is an air-filled middle ear cavity. Aeration of the middle ear cavity is controlled by the Eustachian tube. Dysfunction of the Eustachian tube has long been acknowledged as a significant etiological factor in disorders of the middle ear, especially middle ear effusions. READ MORE

4. 2. The Chorda Tympani Nerve : Role in Taste Impairment in Middle Ear Disease and after Ear Surgery

   Author : Katarina Berling Holm; Magnus von Unge; Mikael Karlberg; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : Chorda tympani nerve; ear surgery; taste; chronic suppurative otitis media; otosclerosis; electrogustometry; filter paper disc method; quality of life; transmission electron microscopy; degeneration; sprouting; Surgery; Kirurgi;

   Abstract : The chorda tympani nerve, also known as the taste nerve, runs uncovered through the middle ear cavity, a localization that exposes the nerve to pathological processes and surgical trauma in the middle ear. People operated on for otosclerosis tend to complain more about postoperative taste disturbances than those operated on for chronic otitis media. READ MORE

   Keywords : Oto-Rhino-Laryngology; Oto-rhino-laryngologi;

   Abstract : Although middle-ear cholesteatoma is a major topic in otological research, its etiology and pathogenesis remain unclear. Pediatric cholesteatoma is considered more aggressive than adult cholesteatoma, as it has a higher rate of growth, is more often infected and exhibits wider extension. READ MORE

7. 5. Inflammatory mediators and immunocompetent cells in the middle ear with particular regards to otitis media and tympanosclerosis

   Keywords : immunohistochemistry; inflammation; human middle ear; myringosclerosis; otitis media; rat; tympanosclerosis;

   Abstract : Tympanosclerosis is a well known sequela after acute and chronic otitis media. The pathologically calcified plaques are most commonly found in the tympanic membrane and if located only at this site, it is termed myringosclerosis. READ MORE
