Odontogenic necrotizing fasciitis: a systematic review of the literatureBMC Ear, Nose and Throat Disorders - Tập 18 - Trang 1-7 - 2018
Mitchell R. Gore
While odontogenic soft tissue infections of the head and neck are common, progression to necrotizing fasciitis is relatively rare. Necrotizing fasciitis is a potentially life-threatening and rapidly progressive soft tissue infection that can lead to significant skin and soft tissue loss, mediastinitis, vascular thrombosis or rupture, limb loss, organ failure, and death.

Coronary artery bypass grafting and sensorineural hearing loss, a cohort studyBMC Ear, Nose and Throat Disorders - Tập 5 Số 1 - 2005
Omer Ashraf
AbstractBackgroundSudden sensorineural hearing loss is routinely encountered by the otologist. The etiology is varied and often identifiable. One of the relatively less frequent causes is surgery. Apart from being an established entity with otological surgeries, sensorineural hearing loss has also been known to occur after non-oto...... hiện toàn bộ

Otosclerosis is characterized by bony deposits in the otic capsule, resulting in stapes fixation and progressive hearing loss. It can be treated effectively by surgically removing (part of) the stapes and replacing it with a prosthesis. Increasingly, stapes surgery is performed as a day-case procedure. The major drive towards day-case surgery has been out of economic considerations. However, it is...... hiện toàn bộ
The risk of bias in randomized controlled trials in otorhinolaryngology: hardly any improvement since 1950BMC Ear, Nose and Throat Disorders - Tập 17 - Trang 1-8 - 2017

Randomized Controlled Trials (RCTs) represent the most valuable study design to evaluate the effectiveness of therapeutic interventions. However, flaws in design, conduct, analysis, and reporting of RCTs can cause the effect of an intervention to be under- or overestimated. These biased RCTs may be included in literature reviews. To make the assessment of Risk of Bias (RoB) consistent and transpar...... hiện toàn bộ
How sociodemographic and hearing related factors were associated with use of hearing aid in a population-based study: The HUNT StudyBMC Ear, Nose and Throat Disorders - Tập 16 - Trang 1-9 - 2016
Anne-Sofie Helvik, Steinar Krokstad, Kristian Tambs
The purpose was to study hearing aid (HA) use in persons 65 years and older, and to investigate how socioeconomic and hearing related factors were associated to use of HA. This study included 11,602 persons (65 years and above) from the second Nord-Trøndelag Health Study (HUNT2) and the integrated North-Trøndelag hearing loss study (NTHLS) in 1995–1997. Audiometry was taken of all participants. Mi...... hiện toàn bộ
