BACKGROUND Glycine inhibits the formation of advanced glycation end products that may cause central and peripheral neuronal damage, affecting also the auditory nerve. AIM To evaluate the effect of glycine on auditory nerve conduction and hearing level among patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and auditory neuropathy. MATERIAL AND METHODS Twenty grams of oral glycine per day were administ...

Background: Transcanal endoscopic ear surgery has many advantages over conventional microscopic ear surgery and is used as adjunct to microscope or is used independently. Precise large visual field and angular vision has edge over the clumsy, expensive, peeping tubular vision of microscopes. Moreover, it is a better teaching methodology for the undergraduates and postgraduates. Our study compri...

BACKGROUND Otitis media with effusion (OME) is one of the most frequently met pathologies in small children. Long-term persistence of the liquid in the middle ear cavity correlates with the impairment in speech acquisition and poor results in school. AIM To evaluate the predictive value of impedancemetry in recovery of the normal middle ear status. METHODS 30 children (age 4 month-9 years) ...

Introduction Suppurative otitis media is still the most common ear disease in developing countries. Otogenic complications of this disease have decreased considerably because of the advent of antibiotics, and few rare complications have been encountered. Objective To report a case of a patient with scapular abscess and lumber cellulitis that had progressed from Bezold abscess as a complication ...

Accidental injury to the facial nerve where the bony canal defects are present may result with facial nerve dysfunction during otological surgery. Therefore, it is critical to know the incidence and the type of facial nerve dehiscences in the presence of normal development of the facial canal. The aim of this study is to review the site and the type of such bony defects in 144 patients operated...

Studies of developmental and functional biology largely rely on conditional expression of genes in a cell type-specific manner. Therefore, the importance of specificity and lack of inherent phenotypes for Cre-driver animals cannot be overemphasized. The Gfi1Cre mouse is commonly used for conditional hair cell-specific gene deletion/reporter gene activation in the inner ear. Here, using immunofl...

BACKGROUND Asians with short nose lack the cartilage needed to extend the length of the nose. A rhinoplasty technique using lower lateral cartilage (LLC) repositioning and ear cartilage grafting allows for sufficient nasal lengthening and nasal tip mobility in the correction of short nose in Asians. METHODS Short nose was classified into 3 subtypes: type I, II, or III. During LLC repositionin...

Among the many existing hearing problems, there are those that need to be corrected through the replacement of the ossicles of the middle ear with a prosthesis. The type of the prosthesis used in the rehabilitation of the middle ear, total ossicular replacement prosthesis (TORP) or a partial ossicular replacement prosthesis (PORP) depends of the level of the ossicular impairment [1,2]. In the p...
