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
Reappraisal of the glycerol test in patients with suspected Menière’s diseaseBMC Ear, Nose and Throat Disorders - Tập 14 - Trang 1-13 - 2014
Bernd Lütkenhöner, Türker Basel
Recent advances in magnetic resonance imaging make it possible to visualize the presumed pathophysiologic correlate of Menière’s disease: endolymphatic hydrops. As traditional diagnostic tests can provide only indirect evidence, they are hardly competitive in this respect and need to be rethought. This is done here for the glycerol test. The data of a previous retrospective analysis of the glycero...... hiện toàn bộ
Tracheostomy reveals a rare aberrant right subclavian artery; a case reportBMC Ear, Nose and Throat Disorders - Tập 4 - Trang 1-3 - 2004
Neil K Chadha, Sandro Chiti-Batelli
Anomalies of vascular anatomy in the neck are well recognised. We present a case of a very rare aberrant artery discovered during tracheostomy. Elective tracheostomy was performed in theatre for an elderly gentleman on long-term ventilation. Pre-operative examination of the neck revealed no obvious abnormality. During surgery, a large vessel was revealed overlying the tracheal fourth ring. This wa...... hiện toàn bộ
Laryngeal dysfunction in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis: a review and case reportBMC Ear, Nose and Throat Disorders - Tập 1 - Trang 1-5 - 2001
Christopher R Watts, Martine Vanryckeghem
Laryngeal dysfunction can be a salient feature in the clinical symptomatology of speakers diagnosed with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS). In addition to dysphonia, swallowing function is also disrupted. This paper reviews what is known about laryngeal dysfunction resulting from ALS. Presented is a case report of a female, diagnosed with ALS, whose initial symptoms were caused by laryngeal bulb...... hiện toàn bộ
Direct microvascular monitoring of a free autologous jejunal flap using microendoscopy: a case reportBMC Ear, Nose and Throat Disorders - Tập 6 - Trang 1-5 - 2006

Early identification of flap failure is an indispensable prerequisite for flap salvage. Although many technical developments of free flap monitoring have now reached clinical application, very few are considered to be reliable and non-invasive for early recognition of flap failure. We used microendoscopic technique for microvascular monitoring of free autologous jejunal flap by the direct visualis...... hiện toàn bộ
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.
