OBJECTIVE The repair of dilated ear lobules after gauge ear piercing is increasingly performed to restore the natural ear appearance and shape for esthetic, professional, or social reasons. Because of a deficit of remaining lobule tissue, reconstruction of this area can be challenging. Many have described the repair of partial cleft ear lobule defects, but few focus on the repair of dilated ear...

introduction: otalgia is one of the complaints which may occur at any age. the etiology of the pain may be in the ear, structures around the ear or other head and neck structures. this is caused by the complex nervous connections in the head and neck areas, the ear, the pharynx and the nose. since understanding the etiologies of referred otalgia can help in the assessment and treatment of the d...

BACKGROUND: Alternative furrow irrigation method is an effective procedure to reduce the amount of irrigation water in arid areas for economic production. OBJECTIVES: Assessment seed yield, its components and morphological characteristics of corn affected different level of irrigation regime and super absorbent polymer (SAP) under warm and dry climate con...

A field experiment was conducted during the winter (rabi) seasons of 2017–18 and 2018–19 at Rajasthan College Agriculture, Maharana Pratap University Agriculture Technology, Udaipur, Rajasthan, to find out best integrated nutrient management strategy in barley (Hordeum vulgare L.). The correlation regression were studied between yield attributes as influenced by these treatments. laid a randomi...

OBJECTIVE Otitis media is known to alter expression of cytokine and other genes in the mouse middle ear and inner ear. However, whole mouse genome studies of gene expression in otitis media have not previously been undertaken. Ninety-nine percent of mouse genes are shared in the human, so these studies are relevant to the human condition. METHODS To assess inflammation-driven processes in the...

Intratympanic drug delivery refers to drug administration in the middle ear, the main advantage being direct diffusion of substances in the inner ear through the round window membrane with subsequent high intralabiryntine drug concentration and very low systemic side effects. The article is a review of literature concerning the inner ear barrier systems, the physiology of inner ear fluids, intr...

Ear detection is a new class of relatively stable biometrics which is not affected by facial expressions, cosmetics, eye glasses and aging effects. Ear detection is the first step of an ear recognition system, to use ear biometrics for human identification. In this paper, we have presented two approaches to detect ear from 2D side face images. One is edge detection based method and the other is...

in order to study the effects of planting pattern on yield and yield components in different cultivars of forage corn (zea mays l.), an experiment was conducted at saline conditions (ec=6.43 ds.m-1) of dasht-e-malhe, neyshabour during growing season of 2009-2010. nine treatments and two furrow planting and furrow bed planting as main plots and three cultivars (ksc 704, zp 644 and ns540) as sub ...
