Objective: Tegmen defects occur mainly due to cholesteatoma and iatrogenic trauma, and the intervention for the related defects is still a debate. In this study, we aimed to discuss our clinical experience on the management of the tegmen defects which were revealed during the mastoidectomy surgeries.
Methods: This study was designed as a retrospective chart review study and patients who were operated between 2007-2017 were included.
Background: In our study, the authors aimed to obtain a live and functional sinus epithelium with mesenchymal stem cells and nasal mucosa epithelial cells from rabbits which are cultured in temperature-responsive culture plates to get a single-layer.
Methodology/principal: Twenty-two female New Zealand rabbits were included in the study. Two of them were used to obtain mesenchymal stem cells.
Background: To our knowledge, there is no study comparing Ponto Plus (Oticon Medical AB, Askim, Sweden) and Baha 5 (Cochlear Bone Anchored Solutions AG, Mölnlycke, Sweden) available in the literature.
Aims/objectives: The primary aim was to compare the performance of the Baha 5 with the Ponto Plus device in terms of speech understanding in quiet and in noise. In addition, to determine statistically whether or not the difference between the abutment systems created any variation in terms of skin reaction.
Article Synopsis
- IVC thrombosis is rare in individuals without congenital issues or blood clotting disorders.
- A healthy 62-year-old bodybuilder developed a mass-like thrombus in his inferior vena cava, which was treated with an IVC filter and rivaroxaban.
- The case suggests that wearing a tight weightlifting belt may have caused the thrombosis, and rivaroxaban proved effective, with full recovery in three months.
Objective: The aim of this study was to compare the hearing results of embedding the partial ossicular reconstruction prosthesis (PORP) underneath the malleus with the malleus relocation technique and tympanic membrane graft in the presence of the malleus.
Materials And Methods: A retrospective review of patient charts and audiometric results in a tertiary referral center was conducted. In total, 83 patients who underwent intact canal tympanoplasty with mastoidectomy between 2010 and 2015 were included and divided into two different groups: malleus assembly to the stapes head (MASH) and tympanic membrane assembly to the stapes head (TASH).
