Treatment of Meniere's disease by Multi-session Dexamethasone Injections.

Background: Meniere's Disease (MD) is a complex and multifactorial inner ear problem characterized by episodic vertigo, unilateral sensori-neural hearing loss and tinnitus or fullness in the ear due to Endolymphatic hydrops. There are multiple treatment options available for this disease; from which cortisone therapy can be given in different routes and in different doses.

Objectives: is to identify the successfulness of treatment of MD by multi-session intra-tympanic dexamethasone injection compared to the single-session method.

Pott's puffy tumour of the frontal and Parietal bones with subgaleal abscess as a complication of acute sinusitis - a case report.

Acute sinusitis is a frequent medical condition that can affect any age group and may lead infrequently to very serious life-threatening complications. These complications include the spread of infection to frontal and other cranial bones, meninges, and other intracranial structures that require urgent medical actions to prevent mortality and morbidity. We report the case of acute frontal sinusitis in a 14 years old male who presented with fever, severe headache, and fluctuant swelling of the nasal root, and right supraorbital and frontoparietal regions.

Reliability of the otoscopic tympanic membrane findings in the diagnosis of middle ear effusion.

Objective: To estimate the reliability of otoscopic findings to predict the presence of middle ear effusion.

Methods: The cross-sectional study was conducted at Al-Yarmouk Teaching Hospital, Baghdad, Iraq, from April 1, 2019, to January 1, 2020, and comprised patients of either gender aged 3-70 years complaining of ear problems. The patients were randomly assigned to two specialist otolaryngologists who checked the presence of retraction of the tympanic membrane and other features suggesting middle ear effusion.

Patient Behavioral Analysis with Smart Healthcare and IoT.

Patient behavioral analysis is the key factor for providing treatment to patients who may suffer from various difficulties including neurological disease, head trauma, and mental disease. Analyzing the patient's behavior helps in determining the root cause of the disease. In traditional healthcare, patient behavioral analysis has lots of challenges that were much more difficult.

Identification of early-stage Meniere's disease as a cause of unilateral tinnitus.

Introduction: Meniere's disease (MD) is characterized by episodic symptoms, including vertigo, hearing loss, and tinnitus.

Objectives: in this study, cases of unilateral tinnitus were investigated for MD.

Method: Twenty-two patients who presented with chronic unilateral tinnitus on puretone audiograms showing an average threshold better than 25 dB HL and thresholds in the lower frequencies worse than those in the higher frequencies by more than 10 dB were suspected to have early-stage MD and underwent electrocochleography (ECochG).
