Antibacterial effects of chitosan-based hydrogels containing Trachyspermum ammi essential oil on pathogens isolated from dogs with otitis externa
Growing antibiotic resistance has made treating otitis externa (OE) increasingly challenging. On the other hand, local antimicrobial treatments, especially those that combine essential oils (EOs) with nanopart... (Source: BMC Veterinary Research)

A Comparative Study on Management of Acute Otitis Externa with and Without Oral Antibiotics in a Tertiary Care Centre, Maduranthagam
AbstractAcute otitis externa also called as “Swimmers ear” is commonly seen in all age groups. It is a very common condition, severely painful, characterised by otalgia, otorrhoea, conductive hearing loss and an oedematous ear canal. There is dearth of evidence based treatment guidelines leading to difference of opinion in its treatment p articularly in the usage of systemic antibiotics and local antibiotics. To evaluate the clinical efficacy of oral antibiotics in two different protocols in treatment of acute otitis externa. A total of 80 patients with clinically diagnosed otitis externa were included into the study. ...

Vestibular Dysfunction Among Children with Otitis Media and Effusion in a Multiracial Setting
AbstractOtitis media with effusion (OME) is a common presentation to the Otorhinolaryngology clinic. Besides hearing impairment, recent evidence shows that approximately 30% of these children have some degree of vestibular and balance impairment. To assess the presence of vestibular dysfunction among children with OME. Children between 4 and 17, with and without OME, underwent vestibular assessment using video head impulse test (VHIT), subjective visual subjective (SVV), and single leg raising test (SLS). Data were recorded and analysed. 24 OME children were included with male predominance. No statistical significance was ...

Characteristics of hearing recovery in children with chronic otitis media with effusion after ventilation tube insertion
This study also investigated whether there was a difference in the mean hearing improvement between the left and right ear, how many months passed before recovery of eustachian tube function, and how long the aeration of the middle ear lasted. The children included in the study were between six and twelve years of age, diagnosed with COME by audiological processing (type B tympanometric recording and conductive hearing loss up to 40 dB on pure tone audiometry) and underwent surgical insertion of ventilation tubes in both ears. Patient data included preoperative tympanometric records, preoperative and postoperative tone aud...
