Disinfection of incubators in neonatal intensive care units: impact of steam pulverization on bacterial colonization
ConclusionSteam pulverization is not sufficient to eradicate bacterial contamination of incubators. These results highlight the urgent need for an effective disinfection method, especially for mattresses that are in constant contact with patients. In parallel, new incubator designs and mattress protections must be developed. (Source: Antimicrobial Resistance and Infection Control)

Management of cholesterol granuloma due to eosinophilic otitis media using large ventilation tube
A 46-year-old man who had been diagnosed with eosinophilic otitis media (EOM) and eosinophilic chronic rhinosinusitis was referred to our department. He suffered from bilateral earache, clogged ear sensation, and otorrhea associated with EOM. He had been treated with a myringotomy and a ventilation tube (VT) insertion. However, his symptoms did not improve, and the VT repeatedly fell out. We performed canal wall down mastoidectomy via a retro-auricular incision to remove the presumed cholesterol granuloma (CG) and a long-term VT insertion. (Source: Auris, Nasus, Larynx)

Effusion Prevalence at Tympanostomy During COVID-19: Follow-Up
CONCLUSION: Intraoperative MEE remains lower in subsequent pandemic years despite relaxed public health measures and may be impacted by persistent public health measures like masking, lower return to daycare, variable social distancing, and/or change to access to health care.PMID:36651354 | PMC:PMC9852964 | DOI:10.1177/01455613221140275 (Source: Ear, Nose and Throat Journal)
