2. 1. Morphology and biochemistry of the tympanic membrane in relation to retraction pathology

   Author : Johan Knutsson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : Tympanic membrane; retraction pathology; secretory otitis media; cholesteatoma; pars tensa; lamina propria; keratinizing epithelium; collagen type; progenitor cells; stem cells; immunohistochemistry; electron microscopy;

   Abstract : Otitis media is very common during childhood and may predispose for tympanic membrane (TM) pathology later in life. Therefore, it is important to investigate the possible changes in TMs subjected to otitis media. There is evidence of a relationship between previous otitis media and TM retraction disease.

4. 2. Long-term follow-up after otitis media in childhood

   Author : Marie Ryding; Lund näs- och halssjukdomar Öron-; []

   Abstract : Objective: Most preschool children have suffered from at least one episode of acute otitis media (AOM) and/or secretory otitis media (SOM). Some children have frequent AOM episodes and/or prolonged and recurrent episodes of secretory otitis media (SOM). The long-term out-come and sequelae are not fully clarified. READ MORE

5. 3. Ear and hearing problems in Turner syndrome

   Author : Annika Elmqvist Stenberg; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : Turner syndrome; tympanic membrane pathology; hearing loss; otitis media; estrogen receptors; presbyacusis; immunology; mouse; rat; human; cochlea; psychosocial; audiometric testing.;

   Abstract : Turner Syndrome is a common chromosomal disorder and affects approximately one in every 2000 newborn girl. The syndrome is defined as a total (45,X) or partial loss of the second sex chromosome in combination with the typical characteristic features, which are short stature (less than 150 cm), absent estrogen production due to ovarian dysgenesis, with failure to enter puberty spontaneously and infertility.

6. 4. Middle ear mechanics : using temporal bone experiments to improve clinical methods

   Author : Anton Rönnblom; Krister Tano; Magnus Von Unge; Mimmi Werner; Måns Eeg-Olofsson; Umeå universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Middle ear; conductive hearing loss; ossiculoplasty; human temporal bone; Laser doppler vibrometry; malleus fracture; middle ear muscles; muscle fiber composition; Oto-Rhino-Laryngology; oto-rhino-laryngologi;

   Abstract : BackgroundThe middle ear transmits and amplifies sound vibrations from the tympanic membrane via three ossicles to the inner ear. Moreover, it contains two muscles, the stapedius muscle (SM) which protects the inner ear from loud noise, and the tensor tympani (TT) whose function is still debated. READ MORE
