OBJECTIVE: To determine hearing outcomes in young children receiving early and repeated tympanostomy tube insertion for recurrent acute otitis media or otitis media with effusion. DESIGN: Prospective 14-year follow-up. SETTING: Central Hospital of…
-
BACKGROUND:: Midface reconstruction of oncologic defects is one of the most challenging problems in plastic surgery. Over time, the senior author has developed modifications in his technique for oncologic midface reconstruction to minimize…

OBJECTIVE: To determine the recurrence and survival outcome based on treatment date, type of treatment, stage of disease, and comorbidity and the recurrence and survival differences based on smoking status as a surrogate for human papillomavirus…

OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS: Standard management of recurrent respiratory papillomatosis (RRP) currently consists of CO2 laser microsurgical ablation of papillomas. Because of the recurrent nature of this viral disease, patients are often faced with…

Artifacts in magnetic resonance (MR) imaging result from the complex interaction of contemporary imager subsystems, including the main magnet, gradient coils, radiofrequency (RF) transmitter and receiver, and reconstruction algorithm used. An…

Increasingly bacterial biofilms have been implicated in chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS), and conventional treatment methods have failed to completely eradicate biofilms. (1) Terminal sialic acids present on sinus mucosal glycoproteins are targets for…

PURPOSE: The methylation profile of nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) has been investigated by a candidate gene approach. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN: Four NPC cell lines, 4 NPC xenografts, 33 NPC primary tumors, and 6 samples of normal nasopharyngeal…

Unilateral vocal fold paralysis rarely presents with symptoms of stridor, laryngospasm, and dyspnea. Abnormal reinnervation of abductor nerve branches into adductor fibers may be one cause. Four patients have been positively identified by laryngeal…

In order to evaluate the efficiency of middle-ear prostheses in near-real conditions, an artificial model was developed that approximately simulates the actual geometrical and biomechanical properties of the ear system (excluding the ossicular…

Otoferlin is involved in neurotransmitter release at the synapse between inner hair cells (IHCs) and auditory nerve fibres, and mutations in the OTOF gene result in severe to profound hearing loss. Abnormal sound-evoked cochlear potentials were…
-
AIM: To perform genealogical and clinical studies in Finnish families with X linked ocular albinism (OA1), including characterisation of the potential misrouting of optic fibres by evaluating visual evoked magnetic fields (VEFs), and to determine…
-
It is well known that vergence movements are important for distance appreciation, depth vision and stereopsis. Moreover, vergence movements are very probably used by the CNS during head and body motion to adjust the gain of the vestibulo-ocular…

STUDY DESIGN: Retrospective review. OBJECTIVE: To determine if rib anomalies are present in pediatric malignancies in the United States. SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA: Scoliosis surgeons view radiographs of the entire spine, counting the number of…

OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS: Laryngomalacia is an enigmatic disease in which laryngeal tone is weak, resulting in dynamic prolapse of tissue into the larynx. Sensorimotor integrative function of the brainstem and peripheral reflexes are responsible for…
-
Background: The medial vestibulospinal tract (MVST), which descends in the medial longitudinal fasciculus (MLF), may mediate the vestibular evoked myogenic potentials (VEMPs) in the contracting sternocleidomastoid muscle. We report herein abnormal…
-
OBJECTIVE: Combined use of vestibular evoked myogenic potential (VEMP) and caloric response testing has enabled us to examine the function of the inferior and superior vestibular nerves separately. Although results of VEMP testing and caloric…
