Preadmission systemic antibiotic treatment in necrotizing otitis externa (NOE).
Eur Arch Otorhinolaryngol
December 2024
Purpose: Necrotizing otitis externa (NOE) is a serious life-threatening infection, with Pseudomonas (PA) aeruginosa being the primary causative agent. Over the last two decades the use of systemic anti-PA antibiotics expanded substantially and are now prescribed regularly by physicians. Meanwhile, studies indicate shifting trends in the incidence of the offending pathogen in NOE.

Methods: This prospective clinical trial explores the impact of acute sleep deprivation on the vestibular-ocular reflex (VOR) in medical residents. The study involved healthy physicians from diverse medical disciplines.
Article Synopsis
- The study evaluated changes in pediatric foreign body aspiration (FBA) cases during the COVID-19 pandemic compared to previous years, finding fewer visits to emergency departments overall.
- A total of 345 children with FBA were studied, showing a decline in cases during lockdown (5.1 average monthly cases) compared to the pre-COVID-19 average (5.75 cases), with an increase in cases post-lockdown (6.3 cases).
- Results indicated no overall change in the prevalence of FBA during the pandemic year, but there was a significant increase in the use of flexible bronchoscopy for removal, rising from 15.4% to 30.4%.
Diabetes and glycemic control in necrotizing otitis externa (NOE).
Eur Arch Otorhinolaryngol
March 2022
Purpose: Although the association between necrotizing otitis externa (NOE) and diabetes mellitus (DM) is well known, there is little knowledge in regards to the effects of DM and glycemic control on the outcome of NOE. The aim of the study was to determine the effects of DM duration and glycemic control, and in-hospital glycemic control on NOE severity.
Methods: A retrospective case series analysis, including all patients hospitalized between 1990 and 2018 due to NOE were included.
