Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) has provided new insights in molecular biology.
Recently, some studies have been focused on temporal bone pathology, with
amplification of DNA from fixed sections of celloidin‐embedded bones. The
purpose of our study was to elucidate the utility of PCR in detection of minor
concentrations of DNA from nonoptimal stored samples. We obtained geniculate
ganglia from 30 ... hiện toàn bộ

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVEAlthough systemic steroids in sudden sensorineural
hearing loss (SSHL) appears to be the most effective and the most widely
accepted treatment today, a significant number of patients do not respond to
steroid treatment or they cannot receive steroids for medical reasons.
Intratympanic (IT) administration of steroids appears to be an alternative or
additional method of manag... hiện toàn bộ

Chronic tobacco smoking and alcohol consumption are well‐established risk
factors for the development of squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the head and
neck. There are, however, a variety of other habitual and culturally based
activities that are less commonly seen in the Western world and that are also
risks factors for the development of this type of cancer. In this era of
globalization, many of ... hiện toàn bộ
