OBJECTIVES We analyzed whether radiographically demonstrated anterior inferior cerebellar artery (AICA) vascular compression of the cochleovestibular nerve in asymmetric hearing loss could be correlated to either the symptomatic ear or to cochlear nerve diameter. METHODS We undertook a retrospective case-control study in which patients were enrolled into a database if audiometry demonstrated ...

OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS Patients with enlarged vestibular aqueduct (EVA) often demonstrate an air-bone gap (ABG) at low frequencies on audiometric testing. The mechanism for this has not been well elucidated. We investigated vestibular aqueduct (VA) size and ABG in patients with EVA, and assessed the relationship between VA diameter and ABG. STUDY DESIGN Retrospective review. METHODS We asses...

Introduction: Otitis externa (OE) Circumcrypt is an inflammation accompanied by furuncle growth in the outer ear with or without infection. OE events are identified swimmers other names Swimmer's Ear, because their ears moist. cases can be distinguished based on duration of action, namely acute chronic.
 Case Reports: A 21-year-old male patient came complaints pain ear, previously also fel...

Most methods for measuring light-tissue interactions focus on the volume reflectance while very few measure the transmission. We investigate both diffusion reflection and diffuse transmission at all exit angles to receive the full scattering profile. We also investigate the influence of blood vessel diameter on the scattering profile of a circular tissue. The photon propagation path at a wavele...

Lion's ear [Leonotis nepetifolia (L.) R. Br.] is a Vietnamese medicinal plant that has been described in basic morphology and isolated for number of chemical compounds. This study aims to supplement database morphology, micro-anatomy antibacterial abilities this species. Micro-anatomical analysis was based on double staining method microscopic dimensional measurement plant. The capacity the dia...

ABSTRACT The aim of this study was to select S3 progenies super sweet corn based on agronomic performance, evaluated in topcrosses with the narrow genetic base tester Honey Sweeter (Seminis®). experiment carried out Guarapuava-PR. We 22 topcross hybrids and three checks, two sowing times, randomized blocks design replications. Six traits were evaluated: total yield husked ears, commercial grain...

introduction: cholesteatoma is traditionally diagnosed by otoscopic examination and treated by surgery. the necessity for imaging in an uncomplicated case is controversial. this study was planned to investigate the usefulness of a preoperative high-resolution computed tomography (hrct) scan in depicting the status of middle ear structures in the presence of cholesteatoma and also to compare the...

Objectives: We evaluated the efficacy of CO2 laser myringotomy combined with adenoidectomy in children with serous otitis media (SOM) unresponsive to medical therapy and compared the recurrences in the follow-up period with the control group who underwent adenoidectomy and ventilation tube (VT) insertion. Patients and Methods: The CO2 laser myringotomy group included 25 children with a mean age...

The sowing stage in the crop implantation process is directly related to its productivity due factors such as adequacy of speed operation seeder-fertilizer and spacing between lines adopted according each region Brazil. Thus, objective study was evaluate agronomic characteristics corn relation rows speeds eastern Amazon region. experiment carried out experimental area Technological Center for S...
