Abstract:

SummaryDespite the huge advances in clinical audiology over the past few decades, tuning fork tests are still used extensively in the diagnosis of hearing loss. This study investigates the usefulness, reliability and accuracy of tuning fork tests in a group of children involved in a prospective study of glue ear, and shows them to be of dubious value.

Abstract:

Background: Tuning fork tests, in particular the Federici test, allow to some extent verifying the correctness of subjective audiometry. During the Federici test patients should compare the volume of the tuning fork placed on the tragus or mastoid process. Federici test is considered positive if the sound seems louder from the tragus than from the mastoid process. Federici test is considered negative if the sound of the tuning fork seems louder from the mastoid process than from the tragus. Literature data indicate that the results of certain tuning fork tests may be different if tuning forks

Abstract:

Stress fractures results in micro trauma to the bone caused by repeated mechanical stress injuries. Stress fractures are common injuries in sports people the result of normal healthy bone being subjected to repetitive loading forces, while training. Normally assess clinically, physical exams like tenderness to palpation, focal temperature increases and pain with various tests like fulcrum, and a hop test. Radiographic confirmation of stress fractures includes X-ray, bone scintigraphy scan, CT, and MRI. However, MRI is expensive and may not be available in all hospitals and difficult to get the

Abstract Context: Nonradiographic tests to identify fractures rely on a patient's report of increased pain at the site of injury. These tests can be misleading and produce false-positive or false-negative results because of differences in pain tolerance.

Abstract:

Careful preoperative selection of patients is one of the most important aspects to avoid complications. First, accurate audiology is essential. Audiological studies can contain inaccuracies as a result of machine, human, or calibration error. The otolaryngologist can use tuning forks judiciously to efficiently check results of the audiology. The 256, 512, and 1024 tuning forks, used in conjunction, can determine the degree of conductive hearing loss. In this way, otolaryngologists can operate on patients who have conductive hearing loss, not nerve hearing loss, which naturally leads to better

This paper presents resonant pressure micro sensors based on dual double ended tuning fork (DETF) resonators, which are electrostatically excited and piezoresistively detected. In operation, the barometric pressure under measurement bends the pressure sensitive diaphragm functioning as the anchor of DETF resonators and therefore produces eigenfrequency shifts of the resonators. Theoretical analyses and finite element analyses (FEA) were conducted to optimize the key geometries of the DETF resonators with enhanced signal to noise ratios (SNRs).

ABSTRACT Introduction: Postmenopausal women often face Vitamin B12 deficiency, a condition crucial for neurological health. Sensorimotor deficits, which affect sensory and motor functions, are common in this demographic and can lead to falls, reduced mobility, and decreased quality of life. This study aims to investigate the correlation between Vitamin B12 deficiency and sensorimotor deficits in postmenopausal women. Materials and Methods: The study was conducted, focusing on postmenopausal women attending the outpatient department. This cross-sectional and observational study investigated sen

Abstract Introduction: Landau–Kleffner syndrome (LKS) is a childhood language disorder characterized by the most frequently described forms of acquired epileptiform aphasia. LKS is a rare age-related epileptic encephalopathy that usually occurs between 3 and 7 years of age in children with previously normal speech and language development until the onset of convulsion. The prevalence of LKS is unclear. However, it is male predominance exits with 2:1. Various literatures reported that LKS syndrome has auditory processing impairment and few may have hearing loss, but symmetry and magnitude of he

Abstract:

Background: Chronic otitis media mucosal type is commonly encountered in otorhinolaryngology. Myringoplasty is a common surgery performed to repair the tympanic membrane (TM). Management of subtotal perforation of the TM has become better with the use of endoscopes. The use of cartilage as palisade for repair of the TM has become popular. The aim of the study was to assess graft uptake and hearing after endoscopic palisade myringoplasty. Methods: A prospective study was conducted in the otorhinolaryngology department from April, 2022 to January, 2023. The study included 65 patients, aged 21 ye

Abstract BACKGROUND: The term acoustic trauma represents injury to the ear due to blast or impulse noise to the auditory system, usually caused by exposure to explosives. Blast trauma causes immediate hearing loss, which may be associated with tinnitus and vestibular symptoms. It may cause damage to the tympanic membrane, ossicles, and cochlea singly or in combination. PATIENT INFORMATION AND THERAPEUTIC INTERVENTIONS: An 11-year-old male child presented with complaints of reduced hearing ability and persistent ringing sensations (tinnitus) in the left ear for the past six years.

Abstract:

Background: Tibial bone stress injuries are common among the athletic adolescent population. A thorough patient history and clinical examination are essential to identify the location and extent of injury. However, there has been little description or any validation of clinical tests to help guide clinicians. Consequently, a formal diagnosis is usually dependent on results from proper imaging. Hypothesis: Clinical examinations will be both highly sensitive and specific determining the incidence, grade, and location of tibial bone stress injury as compared with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).

<b> Introduction:</b> The Eustachian tube (ET) is the anatomical structure that connects the middle ear with the nasopharynx. It is part of a system that, in addition to the already mentioned elements, also includes the soft palate. The functions of ET are pressure equalization, clearance of secretions and protection of the middle ear from sounds and reflux of secretions from the nasopharynx. Dysfunctions of ET are multifactorial, and the diagnostics is difficult due to lack of defined standards for assessing its function prior and post treatment. </br></br> <b>Ai
