The Role of Vitamins A and E Level in Chronic Suppurative Otitis Media with and without Cholesteatoma.

Aim: High expression of lytic enzymes and cytokines is related to cell proliferation in Otitis Media Chronic Suppurative (CSOM) with cholesteatoma. In addition, the process of inflammation healing and maintenance of homeostatic conditions requires Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS), which can cause significant damage to cells. To address this issue, secondary antioxidants such as Vitamins A and E are used to inhibit and neutralize the occurrence of oxidation reactions.

Impact of social activity restriction and routine patient screening as a preventive measurement for tertiary referral hospital staff in a country with high COVID-19 incidence.

Background: Measuring COVID-19 incidence among hospital staff and the influencing factors and preventative measures affecting outcomes is important given their high risk of exposure and potential impacts on health service provision.

Method: Study participants included all hospital staff with COVID-19 confirmed by real-time reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) from March 2020 to July 2021. Data were collected on age, gender, occupation, working area, symptoms and vaccination status.

Impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the volume of chronic suppurative otitis media surgeries.

Background: Chronic suppurative otitis media (CSOM) is a case of ear infection which prevalence is still relatively high, especially in developing countries. Surgery is the definitive management for CSOM that aims to eradicate the infection and improve the hearing conduction system. The COVID-19 pandemic has put enormous pressure on the global health care system, including limitations on elective surgical procedure at most hospital at the beginning of the pandemic.

The association of iron deficiency anemia on chronic suppurative otitis media in children: A case-control study.

Background: Chronic suppurative otitis media (CSOM) is the most common infectious disease in the world and the leading cause of hearing loss in children in developing countries. Iron deficiency anemia (IDA) is often found in children with CSOM.

Objective: This study was conducted to determine the association between IDA and the incidence of CSOM in children.

Surgical treatment of external auditory canal cholesteatoma in congenital malformation of the ear: A case series.

Background: External auditory canal (EAC) cholesteatoma is a lesion lined with stratified squamous epithelium containing proliferative keratin with bony erosion in EAC which can spread to the tympanic cavity, mastoid, and surrounding organ. External cholesteatoma can occur in patients with congenital abnormalities such as congenital aural atresia (CAA).

Method: This case series was reported using the 2020 PROCESS Guideline.

Management evaluation of patients with chronic suppurative otitis media: A retrospective study.

Background: Chronic suppurative otitis media (CSOM) is a chronic infection of the middle ear with perforation of the tympanic membrane and secrete from the ear more for than two months, either continuously or intermittently. Chronic suppurative otitis media has a high prevalence and impact on the physical, social, and psychological of the patients. This disease may be fatal and even cause death.
