Los papilomas son neoplasias epiteliales benignas, pero debemos tener presente que pueden sufrir una degeneración carcinomatosa. La causa de este hecho puede ser debida a reiteradas cirugías por recidivas o por una metaplasma epitelial que producirían un terreno predisponerte. Ante la presencia de un paciente con papilomas de fosas nasales debemos tener en cuenta estos […]
The literature does not report others therapeutic protocols for immune-mediated sensorineural hearing loss (IMSNHL) treatment with sodium enoxaparin or other kinds of unfractionated heparin: our decision to use enoxaparin was based both on the pathogenesis of this condition and on evaluation of the other classes of drugs currently used. Fifty patients, who had suffered from […]
Objective: To investigate psychological aspects in tinnitus patients with normal vestibular examination. Method: 39 patients reporting tinnitus as their primary complaint and vertigo as secondary, underwent neurootological and psychological examination and were compared with a control group. Results: Tinnitus patients showed representative stereotyped and conventional thought processes, and tendency to defense against feelings of instability. […]
The pathogenesis of sudden sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) and tinnitus are still not well understood. Prompted by such observations, we implemented a protocol using sodium enoxaparin associated with a venovenous hemofiltration for treatment of sudden hearing loss and tinnitus. The venovenous hemofiltration selectively eliminates fibrinogen, low-density lipoprotein, cholesterol, triglycerides, lipoprotein and complement from the blood […]
Resumen: El objetivo del presente trabajo fué analizar un caso de linfoma No Hodgkin Extranodal Primario del Adulto atendido en nuestro servicio en el contexto de la ocurrencia de la patología en el área Otorrinolaringológica desde una casuistica de linfomas enfermedad atendidos en el hospital en un período de 10 años. En el Servicio de […]
This work intends to find hearing loss or audiometric shifts in a group of elementary students and intensity of noise to which these students are exposed.
This reports recommends the consideration of development of additional outcome measures to be used as a battery of subjective self-assessment questionnaires for patients with tinnitus. The goal is improved overall care for the tinnitus patient. The name of the battery of outcome questionnaires is TOP. Five existing outcome measurements have been incorporated into the profile […]
It has long been suspected that an important relationship exists between inner and outer hair cells, and that a disturbance of this relationship could lead to the phenomenon of tinnitus. The electromodel of the auditory system describes one mechanism of this inter-hair cell relationship. Following this model a mechanism exists, driven by mechanosensitive outer hair […]
Neurotologic patients may present with a variety of chief complaints. It is not unusual to present with primary presenting symptoms of dizziness, hearing loss and tinnitus. Unusual in presentation is nausea without dizziness. A common finding as the fundamental etiology in many patients is the eventual diagnosis of otosclerosis …….
The purpose of this work was to evaluate if a stimulus reptition rate that is higher than 30 clicks/sec increases the sensitivity of the absolute latencies of waves I, III and V and interpeak intervals I-III, III-V and I-V in the Auditory Brainstem Responses.(ABR) of Multiple Sclerosis (MS) patients.
