Evaluation of cervical vestibular miogenic evoked potential and electrococleography in the diagnosis of vestibular migraine.

Objectives: Vestibular migraine is a neurological disorder characterized by the association of vertigo and headache, affecting up to 1% of the population. Among its differential diagnoses is endolymphatic hydrops. The aim of this study was to investigate the role of cervical vestibular-evoked myogenic potential and electrocochleography in the diagnosis of vestibular migraine.

Role of the route of leukotrienes in an experimental model of oral mucositis induced by 5-fluorouracil 1.

Purpose: To investigate the participation of cysteinyl leukotrienes in the pathophysiology of oral mucositis.

Methods: Oral mucositis was induced in hamsters using 5-fluorouracil (5-FU; 60 and 40 mg/kg; i.p.

Distortion-product otoacoustic emissions and auditory brainstem responses sensitivity assessment in cisplatin-induced ototoxicity in rats.

Unlabelled: Cisplatin (cis-diamminedicloroplatinum) is an antineoplastic drug used in the treatment of a variety of cancers, especially head-and-neck cancer. Its ototoxicity, however, has been noted as a common side-effect which limits its use and causes significant morbidity.

Aim: to assess distortion-product otoacoustic emissions (DPOAE) and brainstem evoked response audiometry (BERA) sensitivity to detect secondary ototoxicity caused by different doses and means of administration of cisplatin in rats.

Long term results in the life quality of children with obstructive sleep disorders submitted to adenoidectomy/adenotonsillectomy.

Unlabelled: Obstructive Sleep Disorders (OSD) affect mostly the pediatric population. Within this group, its main etiology is adenotonsillar hyperplasia, being adenoidectomy or adenotonsillectomy the best treatment option for quality of life improvement.

Aim: To asses quality of life of children with OSD after adenoidectomy/adenotonsillectomy.

Antrochoanal polyp: a review of sixteen cases.

Introduction: An Antrochoanal polyp, or Killian's polyp is a benign solitary polypoid lesion that affects mainly children and young adults. Studies demonstrate that Killian's polyp generally represents 4-6% of all nasal polyps. However, in the pediatric population this percentage reaches 33%.

Quality of life in children with sleep-disordered breathing: evaluation by OSA-18.

Unlabelled: Sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) is prevalent. There is evidence of their effect on quality of life.

Aim: To assess the quality of life in children with SDB before and after adenoidectomy or adenotonsillectomy.
