This paper is organized around two ideas. The first invites the reader to consider the importance of music in emotional life, suggesting that for some people, music can have profound, deep, and transformative effects, both in loosening defenses and in deepening the psychoanalytic experience. The second idea is that analysis of the formal properties of music have both specific and overdetermined meanings that share elements with psychoanalytic principles. I suggest that, if the verbal analysis of dreams paves a royal road to the unconscious, the formal properties of music provide an aural road to the same destination. Two clinical vignettes and scenes from Verdi's opera Otello are used to illustrate these interrelated ideas.

The long-term efficacy and safety of balloon dilation eustachian tuboplasty combined with tympanostomy tube insertion for patients with otitis media with effusion: study protocol for a prospective randomized controlled trial.
Trials
August 2024
Department of Otorhinolaryngology, Eye and ENT Hospital of Fudan University, Shanghai, China.
Article Synopsis
- Otitis media with effusion (OME) is commonly caused by eustachian tube dysfunction and leads to problems like hearing loss; traditional treatment with tympanostomy tube insertion (TTI) alleviates symptoms but is not a definitive cure.
- The study aims to assess the effectiveness of a new procedure, balloon dilation eustachian tuboplasty (BDET), in combination with TTI in patients with OME through a randomized controlled trial involving 124 participants.
- Outcomes will be measured over two years using various assessments to evaluate eustachian tube function, middle ear function, hearing improvement, and quality of life, marking an important investigation into the long-term benefits and safety of this combined treatment.

Objectives: To use three-dimensional real inversion recovery (3D-real IR) MRI to investigate correlations between endolymphatic hydrops (EH) grades or the degree of perilymphatic enhancement (PE) and clinical features of Ménière's disease (MD), as previous findings have been inconsistent.
Methods: A total of 273 consecutive patients with definite unilateral MD were retrospectively enrolled from September 2020 to October 2021. All patients underwent 3D-real IR and 3D-T2WI 6 h after intravenous gadolinium injection.
