  2. 6. Middle ear structure in relation to function : the rat in middle ear research

    Author : Nils Albiin; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : rats; Eustachian tube; ear; middle; tympanic membrane; palatal muscles; mucous membrane; blood vessels; mast cells; otitis media; microscopy; electron;

    Abstract : The present study was undertaken to evaluate the rat as a model for middle ear re­search. The rat was chosen primarily because the gross structure of its middle ear shows several similarities to that of man. READ MORE

  4. 7. Healing of tympanic membrane perforations : an experimental study

    Author : Anisur Rahman; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Embryonic stem cells; Healing; Immunosuppressive; Laser; Mesenchymal stem cells; Moiré interferometry; Myringotomy; Perforation; Tympanic membrane;

    Abstract : Most acute tympanic membrane perforations heal spontaneously without any residual complication, whereas a fraction transforms into a chronic perforation. The current treatment of a chronic perforation is surgical repair, which is a costly, time consuming and uncomfortable procedure particularly for the pediatric patients. READ MORE

  5. 8. Stiffness changes of the tympanic membrane in otitis media

    Author : Christina Larsson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Tympanic membrane; pars flaccida; stiffness; otitis media with effusion; purulent otitis media; cholesteatoma; moire interferometry; tympanometry; gerbil.;

    Abstract : Acute purulent otitis media and otitis media with effusion, are common diseases in childhood. Years later some of the children will get "complications", such as retraction pockets and cholesteatoma, that often need advanced surgical treatment. READ MORE

  6. 9. Optical methods for tympanic membrane colour and shape assessment

    Author : Mikael Sundberg; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Abstract : Otitis media is one of the most common diseases of childhood. Increasing antibiotic resistance has lead to awareness of the importance of the diagnostic accuracy in otitis media. The recommended treatment of acute otitis media (AOM) involves antibiotics whereas in otitis media with effusion (OME) it does not. READ MORE

  7. 10. Transmyringeal middle ear ventilation : an experimental approach to evaluation of its benefits and consequences

    Author : Ove Söderberg; Sten Hellström; Lars-Eric Stenfors; Umeå universitet; []
    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
