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

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

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