Low Evidence for Tinnitus Risk Factors: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis
ConclusionsThese systematic review and meta-analysis confirm a number of otological and non-otological risk factors for tinnitus. By highlighting major gaps in knowledge, our synthesis can help provide direction for future research that will shed light on the pathophysiology, improve management strategies, and inform more effective preventions.

Trans-cortical vessels in the mouse temporal bulla bone are a means to recruit myeloid cells in chronic otitis media and limit peripheral leukogram changes
We report trans-cortical vessels in the mouse temporal bone connect to the bulla mucosal vasculature and potentially represent a means to recruit myeloid cells directly into the inflamed bulla. The mutant mouse strains Junbo (MecomJbo/+) and Jeff (Fbxo11Jf/+) develop chronic otitis spontaneously; MecomJbo/+ mice have highly cellular neutrophil (90%) rich bulla exudates whereas Fbxo11Jf/+ mice have low cellularity serous effusions (5% neutrophils) indicating differing demand for neutrophil recruitment. However we found peripheral leukograms of MecomJbo/+ and Fbxo11Jf/+ mice are similar to their respective wild-type litterma...

Multiple Cerebral Infarctions Accompanied by Subcortical and Subarachnoid Hemorrhaging in Bilateral Border Zone Areas in a Patient with Eosinophilic Granulomatosis with Polyangiitis
Intern Med. 2021 Sep 4. doi: 10.2169/internalmedicine.7999-21. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTEosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (EGPA) is often associated with peripheral neuropathy, but reports of central nervous system involvement are quite rare. We herein report a patient with EGPA first identified as having hypereosinophilia who later developed asthma, eosinophilic otitis media, sinusitis, and hemorrhagic colitis. She subsequently developed hemiparesis. Head magnetic resonance imaging revealed multiple cerebral infarctions with subcortical and subarachnoid hemorrhaging colocalized at the bilateral border zon...

Risk Factors for the Recurrence of Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.
CONCLUSION: These findings strengthen clinical awareness of early warning to identify patients with potential relapse risk of BPPV and clinicians should counsel patients regarding the importance of follow-up after diagnosis of BPPV.

F-18 FDG PET/CT in Management of Necrotizing Otitis Externa
1157Objectives: Necrotizing otitis externa (NOE), also referred to as "malignant otitis externa," is an uncommon complication of external ear canal infections, resulting in skull base osteomyelitis. Multiple pathogens have been implicated, the most common of which is Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Risk factors include diabetes, advanced age, and immunocompromised status. Clinical features include unremitting otalgia, otorrhea, headache, and cranial nerve involvement. Treatment consists of prolonged parenteral antibiotics and selective surgical debridement. Inadequate treatment of NOE is associated with significant morbidities, in...

Atypical purpuric oedema of the nose during granulomatosis with polyangiitis.
We report the case of a 47-year-old woman presenting purpuric oedematous plaque with bullous detachment of the nose and hospitalised for the assessment of two suspicious neoplastic lung lesions discovered as a result of a recent stroke and repeated seromucosal otitis. Granulomatosis with polyangeitis was suspected because of multiple systemic lesions. The histopathology of skin lesions and laboratory investigation results were consistent with this diagnosis. A favourable outcome was achieved with corticosteroids and rituximab.
DISCUSSION: The diagnosis of GPA is based on criteria established by the American College of...

Dizziness and vertigo in a tertiary ENT emergency department.
CONCLUSION: BPPV is the most frequent diagnosis seen in the ED; however, physicians need to document nystagmus more precisely and perform diagnostic tests systematically, in order to make an accurate diagnosis. To avoid misdiagnoses, ED physicians and ENT specialists should be able to recognize central signs in patients with an acute vestibular syndrome. Every fourth patient does not receive a definitive diagnosis. Diagnostic ED workup for patients with dizziness needs further improvement.

Pediatric Stroke: A Single-Center Experience
The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical characteristics, risk factors, treatment, and outcomes of pediatric stroke cases. A total of 118 patients diagnosed with arterial ischemic stroke (AIS), hemorrhagic stroke, and sinovenous thrombosis (SVT) between January 2000 and December 2011 were included. Neonatal cases were excluded. Demographic and clinical findings were retrospectively examined from medical records. We identified 118 patients with stroke. The age of the patients ranged from 1 to 215 months (17.92 y), with a mean age of 5.19±5.25 years. AIS accounted for the majority of cases (n=69, 58.5%), and the...

Impact of the 2015 Middle East Respiratory Syndrome Outbreak on Emergency Care Utilization and Mortality in South Korea.
CONCLUSION: During the MERS epidemic, the number of ER visits decreased in all age, sex, and socioeconomic groups, and decreased most sharply for low-acuity diseases. Nonetheless, there was no significant change in deaths after emergency care.
