Necrotising otitis externa, epistaxis first aid advice, laterality in otolaryngology and what medical students want from ENT teaching

Prevalence of middle ear effusion in French bulldogs without clinical signs of otic disease: A retrospective study of magnetic resonance imaging (2017-2022)
CONCLUSION AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE: FB are predisposed to MEE. This is important when assessing imaging studies of TB of FB with chronic otitis externa, as high percentage of cases may have concurrent MEE. MRI findings in FB with MEE are characterised by a hyperintense signal to the grey matter on T2w in most cases and variable on T1w sequences.PMID:38284304 | DOI:10.1111/vde.13239 (Source: Veterinary Dermatology)

External Auditory Canal Squamous Papilloma Presenting with Otitis Externa and Severe Bony Erosion
We present a case of a 68-year-old lady with an insidious progressive history of otorrhea, otalgia, and reduced hearing for 3 months. She was treated for malignant otitis externa and was treated with systemic antibiotic but showed subtherapeutic response to treatment. She underwent examination under anaesthesia and biopsy with tumour debulking of the right ear via posterior auricular approach and histopathological examin ation revealed squamous papilloma of the external auditory canal. She recovered well after surgery and was asymptomatic during follow-up. (Source: Indian Journal of Otolaryngology and Head and Neck Surgery)

A pilot study of antimicrobial effects and ototoxicity of a Norway spruce (Picea abies) resin-based canine otic rinse product
CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE: The product may be an option in supportive care of COE because of antimicrobial effects and lack of ototoxic properties in a guinea pig model.PMID:38169122 | DOI:10.1111/vde.13229 (Source: Veterinary Dermatology)

Efficacy and safety of a hydrocortisone aceponate-containing ear spray solution in dogs with erythemato-ceruminous otitis externa: A randomised, multicentric, single-blinded, controlled trial
CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE: A 7- to 14-day ear topical application of HCA alone to dogs with ECOE accompanied with bacterial and/or fungal (yeast) overgrowth was safe and led to no statistical difference in improvement of clinical scores relative to the CTRL combination. Based on these results, it may be necessary to reconsider the routine use of antimicrobial drugs such as antibiotics and antifungals as a first-line treatment for ECOE that is likely to have been caused by an allergic reaction.PMID:38093088 | DOI:10.1111/vde.13224 (Source: Veterinary Dermatology)

Necrotizing Otitis Externa: A Proposal for Diagnostic and Therapeutic Approach
Conclusions The present study developed a diagnostic and therapeutic protocol for the effective management of necrotizing otitis externa. This protocol is a dynamic tool and should be revised and updated as new demands emerge during its implementation. [...] Thieme Revinter Publicações Ltda.

Are artificial intelligence large language models a reliable tool for difficult differential diagnosis? An a posteriori analysis of a peculiar case of necrotizing otitis externa
This computed tomography scan shows bilateral partial erosion of the bony boundaries of the middle skull base (simple arrows) with moderate soft tissue contrast enhancement (double arrows) in a case of necrotizing otitis externa case. Key Clinical MessageLarge language models have made artificial intelligence readily available to the general public and potentially have a role in healthcare; however, their use in difficult differential diagnosis is still limited, as demonstrated by a case of necrotizing otitis externa.AbstractThis case report presents a peculiar case of necrotizing otitis externa (NOE) with skull base invol...

Genetic diversity of Staphylococcus aureus isolated from ear infections in Iran: Emergence of CC8/ST239-SCCmec III as major genotype
This study highlighted genetic variability and strong biofilm formation ability among our isolates revealing its crucial role in enhancing the resistance of this bacteria to drugs. Thus, it is necessary to continue the epidemiological analysis to improve the control of ear infections related to S. aureus.PMID:37721867 | DOI:10.1556/030.2023.02081 (Source: Acta Microbiologica et Immunologica Hungarica)
