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 | DOI:10.1177/01455613221140275 (Source: Ear, Nose and Throat Journal)

Acute otitis media-related facial nerve palsy in a child: a case report and a literary review
ConclusionsFacial paralysis is an uncommon complication of acute otitis media that requires appropriate care. As highlighted in our report, the treatment of facial nerve palsy secondary to otitis media should be conservative, using antibiotics and corticosteroids. The role of antiviral is still a matter of debate. Myringotomy and a ventilation tube should be added when spontaneous perforation of the tympanic membrane is not present. More aggressive surgical approach should be considered only when there is no significant improvement. (Source: Italian Journal of Pediatrics)

Intra-Tympanic Dexamethasone Therapy via Grommet Insertion for Improved Auditory Outcome in Sudden Sensorineural Hearing Loss
AbstractIdiopathic sudden-sensorineural hearing loss (ISSHL) is an emergent otological condition needing prompt treatment for better recovery. In our study we aimed to determine the efficacy of intra-tympanic dexamethasone therapy after inserting a grommet in postero-inferior quadrant of the tympanic membrane for dexamethasone instillation. This is a prospective cohort study of 31 patients of ISSHL, in whom grommet was inserted and dexamethasone drops were instilled for 5 days. Several factors such as time of initiation of therapy, age of patient was considered, and inferences were drawn. Auditory outcomes were divided i...

Otologic features in patients with Primary Ciliary Dyskinesia- an EPIC-PCD study
Conclusion: This is the largest study describing otologic disease in PCD. Ear problems were common in patients of all ages although hearing loss was not perceived by some patients. This emphasizes the need for standardised ENT follow-up for all PCD patients.Funding: SNF PZ00P3_185923 (Source: European Respiratory Journal)

Uncommon Cause of Hemoptysis in a 15-Year-Old Boy
Chest. 2022 Oct;162(4):e161-e164. doi: 10.1016/j.chest.2022.05.031.ABSTRACTA 15-year-old boy presented with three acute episodes of self-limited hemoptysis. He was being followed by the pediatric pulmonology department for necrotizing pneumonia and a right upper lobe lung abscess with residual pneumatocele 5 years earlier. He had also experienced recurrent perianal abscesses and more than 15 acute suppurative otitis media throughout his life, even after myringotomy and transtympanic drainage; methicillin-sensitive Staphyloccocus aureus was found in a culture of otic exudate. He had no known allergies and was not taking any...
