A nonlinear finite-element model of the newborn middle ear.
A three-dimensional static nonlinear finite-element model of a 22-day-old newborn middle ear is presented. The model includes the tympanic membrane (TM), malleus, incus, and two ligaments. The effects of the middle-ear cavity are taken into account indirectly. The geometry is based on a computed-tomography scan and on the published literature, supplemented by histology. A nonlinear hyperelastic...
متن کاملOtotoxic Effects of Middle Ear Gentamicin Instillation in the Chinchilla
Gentamicin sulphate is used clinically to produce vestibular organ damage in patients with intractable vertigo. The drug is given locally by middle ear instillation. In humans, gentamicin appears to have a more toxic effect on the vestibular parts of the inner ear than on the cochlea. However, cochlear effects are not insignificant and to further explore the utility of monitoring vestibular and...
متن کاملBacterial otitis media, the chinchilla middle ear, and biofilms.
Otitis media in children has a significant impact on heath care and health-care economics [1]. It is the number one reason children are seen in physicians’ offices and the most common reason children are given antibiotics [2]. The economic impact was estimated in 1998 to be between $3 billion and $5 billion per year in the United States. This estimate does not take into consideration the indire...
متن کاملFinite-element Model of the Human Eardrum and Middle Ear
Computer-generated models are increasingly being used in otolaryngology for teaching purposes, pre-operative planning and clinical simulations, especially when dealing with smaU complex areas such as the middle ear. One technique used to analyse the mechanics of complex models is the fmite-element method whereby the system of interest is divided into a large number of small simple clements. The...
متن کاملMiddle ear fluid cytokine and inflammatory cell kinetics in the chinchilla otitis media model.
Streptococcus pneumoniae is the most frequent microbe causing middle ear infection. The pathophysiology of pneumococcal otitis media has been characterized by measurement of local inflammatory mediators such as inflammatory cells, lysozyme, oxidative metabolic products, and inflammatory cytokines. The role of cytokines in bacterial infection has been elucidated with animal models, and interleuk...
