Faculty of Medicine and Surgery, University of Enna "Kore", Enna, Italy.
Objectives: Chronic otitis media (COM) is a prevalent condition affecting auditory function. Ossiculoplasty is a known treatment strategy, but its effectiveness concerning the presence of cholesteatoma has not been extensively studied.
Methods: We conducted a multicentre study involving 153 patients diagnosed with COM without cholesteatoma (ncCOM) and with cholesteatoma (cCOM).

The objective of this study is to analyze the detection rate, the pathogenic fungus distribution, risk factors and drug sensitivity of fungal infection of external auditory canal in patients diagnosed with chronic otitis media. The data of a total of 419 patients with chronic suppurative otitis media or middle ear cholesteatoma who were admitted from January 2019 to February 2023 were retrospectively analyzed. A total of 419 patients were included, and 71 patients（16.

Background: Achondroplasia, the most prevalent form of skeletal dysplasia involving short stature, necessitates a multidisciplinary approach that includes otology and auditory rehabilitation. Despite this, the clinical characteristics of hearing loss and otologic manifestations in achondroplasia patients remain poorly defined. This study aimed to explore the prevalence and treatment outcomes of otologic disease in individuals with achondroplasia.

Article Synopsis
- The study aims to identify factors associated with cholesteatoma, a type of middle ear disease, in a large UK cohort, highlighting established risk factors like male sex and chronic ear infections, as well as less-clear associations like deprivation and smoking.
- Researchers compared 1140 cholesteatoma cases with 4551 non-cholesteatoma cases and nearly half a million healthy controls, using logistic regression to analyze demographic factors such as age, sex, and deprivation.
- The findings indicate significant associations between cholesteatoma and factors like male sex (33% higher odds), older age, and deprivation, while showing overlaps with other inflammatory ear conditions and suggesting that both common and distinct factors influence cholesteatoma development.
Contralateral Ear in Patients with Chronic Otitis Media.

Clinical research development unit of Loghman Hakim Hospital, Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, Iran.
Article Synopsis
- The study assessed the condition of the opposite ear in patients undergoing surgery for chronic otitis media (COM), focusing on patients from three hospitals.
- Out of 228 patients, a majority had non-cholesteatomatous perforations, with slightly fewer presenting with cholesteatoma, and about half had normal contralateral ears.
- The research found that abnormal findings were more common in the PTP group than in the cholesteatoma group, and larger perforations were noted in the PTP group, but the size of perforation did not correlate with abnormality in the opposite ear.
