Sonotubometry: a useful tool to measure intra-individual changes in eustachian tube ventilatory function.

OBJECTIVE To determine whether intra-individual changes in eustachian tube (ET) function induced by local application of a histamine phosphate solution can be detected using an improved sonotubometer. DESIGN The function of the ET was measured with a revised sonotubometer before and after histamine was applied to the nasopharyngeal ostium of the ET. SETTING Tertiary referral hospital. PAT...

The ORL Active Floor

In this article a novel type of sensor system called the Active Floor is presented that allows the time varying spatial weight distribution of the active office environment to be captured. The properties of the Active Floor are described showing that it differs substantially from other commonly encountered sensor systems. Furthermore classification of the footstep signature of a number of indiv...
