This systematic review aimed to describe the imaging characteristics of Osgood-Schlatter (OSD) compared with controls and findings over time. A search was conducted in Embase, CINAHL, PubMed from inception until July 2021. Forty studies were eligible included based on inclusion criteria OSD diagnosis, number patients, outcomes. In patients OSD, but not controls, soft-tissue swelling cartilage i...

With the recent development of high-resolution computed tomography (CT), there is a growing need to explore the full potential of this new method in demonstrating the detailed anatomy of the temporal bone. For this purpose, dry skulls with intact ossicles were scanned in axial and coronal projections. The detailed CT anatomy of the temporal bone was documented, complemented by images from live ...

Carcinoid tumor of the middle ear is a very rare benign neoplasm, which may be mistaken for a malignant tumor. We present two new cases together with a review of 28 previously reported cases. Nearly all patients had progressive hearing loss, most often of the conductive type. About half of the patients complained of tinnitus and fullness of the ear. The typical otoscopic picture was erythema or...

An astonishing diversity of inner ears and accessory hearing structures (AHS) that can enhance hearing has evolved in fishes. Inner ears mainly differ in the size of the otolith end organs, the shape and orientation of the sensory epithelia, and the orientation patterns of ciliary bundles of sensory hair cells. Despite our profound morphological knowledge of inner ear variation, two main questi...

The auditory evoked potential technique has been used for the past 30 years to evaluate the hearing ability of fish. The resulting audiograms are typically presented in terms of sound pressure (dB re. 1 μPa) with the particle motion (dB re. 1 m s(-2)) component largely ignored until recently. When audiograms have been presented in terms of particle acceleration, one of two approaches has been u...

background: noise-induced hearing loss (nihl) is one of the most common occupational illnesses. most of the studies on nihl were conducted at high noise levels that people are rarely exposed to but in industries. the function of the outer hair cells (ohcs) is impaired after exposure to industrial noise. distortion product otoacoustic emissions (dpoaes) are useful in examination of noise-induced...
