Comparison of Nitinol Stapes Pistons with Conventional Stapes Pistons: A Cadaver Study
Objective. To visually compare the Nitinol "smart" stapes prosthesis to conventional manual crimping stapes pistons in temporal bone cadaver specimens. Main Outcome Measures. 10 otolaryngologists were given a photograph of the randomly ordered stapes pistons and asked to use the pictures to answer questions about each stapes piston. The answers to the survey were then recorded for analysis. Res...
متن کاملBiocompatibility of nitinol stapes prosthesis.
OBJECTIVE Use of the SMart piston, a nitinol-based, self-crimping prosthesis in stapes surgery may allow improved functional results because of better sound transmission properties at the incus-prosthesis interface because of the elimination of manual crimping. Possible disadvantages include thermal damage or strangulation of the incus and its mucoperiosteum or nickel intolerance. The goal of t...
متن کاملCasimir pistons with hybrid boundary conditions
The Casimir effect giving rise to an attractive or repulsive force between the configuration boundaries that confine the massless scalar field is reexamined for one to three-dimensional pistons in this paper. Especially, we consider Casimir pistons with hybrid boundary conditions, where the boundary condition on the piston is Neumann and those on other surfaces are Dirichlet. We show that the C...
متن کاملA Rare Stapes Abnormality
The aim of this study is to increase awareness of rare presentations, diagnostic difficulties alongside management of conductive hearing loss and ossicular abnormalities. We report the case of a 13-year-old female reporting progressive left-sided hearing loss and high resolution computed tomography was initially reported as normal. Exploratory tympanotomy revealed an absent stapedius tendon and...
متن کاملCasimir Interaction: Pistons and Cavity
The energy of a perfectly conducting rectangular cavity is studied by making use of pistons’ interactions. The exact solution for a 3D perfectly conducting piston with an arbitrary cross section is being discussed.
