Safety of electronic molecular resonance adenoidectomy.

Adenoidectomy is one of the most frequent operations in children. In order to reduce hospital stay costs, today, this procedure is performed as day surgery. Even though adenoidectomy is not considered risky, some minor complications may occur, the most important being bleeding (0.

Acute mastoiditis: a 10 year retrospective study.

This retrospective study reviews our experience in the management of acute otomastoiditis over 10 years. During the study period we identified 40 cases in children aged 3 months-15 years with a peak incidence in the second year of life. Sixty per cent of them had a history of acute otitis media (AOM).

[Therapeutic use of a peptide fraction derived from bovine factor VIII in epistaxis in children].

The results obtained in patients suffering from essential epistaxis in paediatric age using a peptide fraction derived from the enzymatic hydrolysis of bovine factor VIII (VUEFFE-Baldacci) are reported. Carbazochrome sodium sulphate was employed for comparison purposes. Vueffe is effective in reducing haemorrhagic episodes without modifying the laboratory parameters investigated.

[The influence of click polarity and stimulation rate on the auditory evoked response in relation to age].

In order to study the changes which occur in phase of the click stimulus and its relation to the stimulus repetition rate on the auditory brainstem response (ABR) as a function of age, the Authors recorded the ABR from the scalp's surface of 10 newborns and 40 infants, 3 months, 6 months, 1 year and 3 years old as well as from 10 normal adults. The stimulus was a square wave of 0.1 msec duration and 90 dBHL level.
