  2. 1. The middle ear : The inflammatory response in children with otitis media with effusion and the impact of atopy : clinical and histochemical studies

    Author : David S. Hurst; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : Medical sciences; Allergy; atopy; eosinophil cationic protein; IL-5; tryptase; otitis media with effusion; in vitro testing; MEDICIN OCH VÅRD; MEDICINE; MEDICIN; Medicine; medicin;

    Abstract : Otitis media with effusion (OME) is the major form of chronic relapsing inflammatory disease of the middle ear, constitutes the most common diagnosis for children under 15 years old and is the major cause of auditory dysfunction in pre-school children. OME is a disease more commonly found in allergic children. READ MORE

  4. 2. Middle Ear Cholesteatoma : Surgical Treatment, Follow-up and Hearing Restoration

    Author : Lennart Edfeldt; Helge Rask-Andersen; Juha Silvola; Uppsala universitet; []
    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

  5. 3. Middle Ear Pressure; A New Method for Continuous Direct Measurements

    Author : Bo Tideholm; allergi och livskvalitet Laryngoesofagologi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Otorhinolaryngology; man; physiology; sleep; posture; pressure; patulous Eustachian tube; middle ear; Ear; audiology; auditive system and speech; Otorinolaryngologi; audiologi; hörsel- och talorganen;

    Abstract : Disturbances in the pressure homeostasis of the middle ear (ME) system cause a pressure gradient across the tympanic membrane lessen the effectiveness of sound transmission and may be associated to development of chronic ME disease. An equipment for continuous direct pressure measurements was developed and was found to be accurate, base-line stabile and portable. READ MORE

  6. 4. On Pressure Regulation of the Middle Ear

    Author : Marianne Brattmo; allergi och livskvalitet Laryngoesofagologi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Chronic otitis media; Sniffing behaviour; Tubal opening; gas diffusion; Meniere s disease; Attic cholesteatoma; Chronic central perforation; Tympanic membrane; Continuous measurement; Middle ear pressure; Eustachian tube;

    Abstract : The middle ear (ME) pressure is regulated by gas diffusion over the ME mucosa and pressure equalizations via the Eustachian tube (ET). Disturbance in the regulation of ME pressure is believed to contribute to the development of chronic ear diseases. READ MORE

  7. 5. The Palaeopathology of Kirchberg : Evidence of Deficiency, Inflammatory and Tumorous Disease in a Medieval Rural Population in Hessia, Germany

    Author : Nikolaos Roumelis; Jan Storå; Michael Schultz; Pia Bennike; Stockholms universitet; []

    Abstract : This study investigates the interaction of disease processes, disease and environment, female and male health as well as health and ageing in a medieval rural village population. For this purpose multiple skeletal indicators of health have been studied, including deficiency, inflammatory, infectious and tumorous disease. READ MORE
