The management calls for prompt and precise technique which has improved over time following the advances in technology. Methods: This is a cross sectional carried out from April 2009-March 2010 with the objective of evaluating the nature,and mode of presentations of patients with various types of foreign bodies seen at the Otorhinolaryngology (ENT) practice in Benin City, Nigeria.Results: A total of 132 cases of fb were recorded during the period under review. Comprising 70(53%) females and 62(47%) males with a female: male ratio of 1.1:1 with ages ranging from 3 months to 80years. Sixty-six( 50%)patients presented with foreign bodies in the ears, 40(30.3%) in the nasal cavities , 11(8.3%),10(7.6%) and 4(3.0%)in the oesophagus, pharynx and larynx respectively. The commonest aural foreign body was bead in 25 (18.9%) patients , cotton bud in 22 (16.7%) and seeds in 15 (11.4%)patients.Sixty-six(50%) of the cases presented within 24 hours of insertion, while 54(40.9%)within 2-5 days and10(7.6%) within the first 10 daysThe complications encountered included epistaxis 6 (4.5%) , ear bleed 5 (3.8%), tympanic membrane perforation 2 (1.5%) patients and death in 2 (1.5%) patients.CONCLUSION: Foreign bodies in the orifices remain a major concern in otolaryngological practice. Early detection and presentation to the specialist will reduce complications which are encountered commonly due to delay.","PeriodicalId":359613,"journal":{"name":"The Internet Journal of Otorhinolaryngology","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-06-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125750469","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Nepali, Brihaspati Sigdel","doi":"10.5580/2bd9","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.5580/2bd9","url":null,"abstract":"Background: Nepal is a landlocked and developing country with 34.6% children under 14 years of ageas well a big population under the line of poverty. Socioeconomic status, family type, overcrowding and provision of health care facilities act as risk factors for ENT disorders. There is a lack of data on pediatric ENT disorders from various Nepalese populations. This study was undertaken to determine the hospital prevalence of ENT disorders in pediatric population and their relationship with sociodemographic factors.Objectives:This study was undertaken to determine the hospital prevalence of ENT disorders in pediatric population and their relationship with socio-demographic factors in a tertiary care hospital in Nepal.Methods: This is a prospective analytic study, conducted at Department of ENT, Head & Neck Surgery between January 2010 and December 2010 in the Ear, Nose and Throat (ENT) Department, Gandaki Medical College Charak Hospital, Pokhara, Nepal. All patients aged 16 years or younger presented ear diseases to the ENT clinic of the hospital seen by ENT surgeons were enrolled into the study.Results: Among 1632 children, ENT diseases were found to be more common among male children (60%). The male to female ratio is 1.5:1. Most of the children were living in joint family (64.16%). Diseases of auditory system (57.84%) were the most common group of ENT problems among the pediatric population, followed by pharyngo-esophageal (23.53%) and nasal disorders (18.63%). Most common otologic disorder was ear wax (40.9%). Among problems associated with nose, rhinitis (23.4%) was most common. Pharyngitis was troubling (44.8%) of our study population.Conclusion:Improvement of health education, socioeconomic status and health facilities will be helpful in reducing the prevalence of ENT diseases. A study on the prevalence of the Ear Nose throat and Head and Neck diseases in developing country like Nepal can provide basic data which can be relevant and beneficial to the development of medical ENT curriculum in the regional setup and subsequent medical practice.","PeriodicalId":359613,"journal":{"name":"The Internet Journal of Otorhinolaryngology","volume":"39 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-06-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115005951","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This parallels the increasing use of electronic house hold and recreational devices particularly the remote control operated MP3 musical players in homes and cars in our region. In the period between 2009 and August 2011, six children age ranged 13 months to 3 years were diagnosed and managed for DB foreign bodies (3 nasal and 3 esophageal). There were major sequelae in 5 (83.3%) cases. These included: an esophageal-pleural fistulae/ hydropneumothorax, a tracheoesophageal fistulae and 3 nasal septal perforations. The batteries sizes were CR2025 lithium cells in the esophagus and 12 mmLR44 Button cell in the nasal cavity. Whilst recent case reports of DB foreign bodies in the developed world show that ingestions usually are benign, the situation in our region, a rapidly developing economy, is that of major sequelae. There appears to be a general lack of awareness on the dangers of DB foreign bodies, therefore a tendency for delayed presentation to hospital, initial misdiagnosis and delayed referral for endoscopic removal. These are established but preventable risk factors for the development of major sequelae. The appearance of DB on plain chest radiograph is sincerely mistaken for a 50Kobo coin which hitherto was the commonest circular opaque foreign body in our region. Notable in our series is the association of major sequelae whenever the anode (-ve) surface of the DB was facing the nasal septum in the nostrils or the trachea or pleural cavity in the esophagus. This appears to be an added risk factor. DB foreign bodies will continue to present with major sequelae in our region unless urgent public awareness campaign on their dangers is undertaken.","PeriodicalId":359613,"journal":{"name":"The Internet Journal of Otorhinolaryngology","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-06-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123118701","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Jha, Vinish Aggarwal","doi":"10.5580/2c0e","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.5580/2c0e","url":null,"abstract":"Introduction: The widespread use of mobile phones in recent years has given rise to concerns about the potential influences of its electromagnetic fields (EMFs) on human health. Anatomically, the ear is in close proximity to mobile phone during use. If there is subtle cochlear involvement, it might be detected by means of changes in otoacoustic emissions (OAEs). The aim of the present study is to investigate the effects of chronic exposure to EMFs emitting from mobile phones on inner ear using distortion product otoacoustic emissions (DPOAEs). Design and Setting: Cohort study and Tertiary care centre. Materials and Methods: Seventy five subjects were included in the study, who were chronic mobile users (using mobile phone for > 4 years), and using mobile phone only from one ear (mobile phone using ear). Subjects were further subdivided according to duration of mobile phone usage into two groups (group 1 usage < 60 minutes and group 2 usage > 60 minutes). All subjects underwent tympanometry and distortion product otoacoustic emissions (DPOAEs). The changes in DPOAEs were studied between mobilephone usingear (MPUE) and non-mobile phone using-ear (NMPUE) and between group 1 and group 2. Results: There is no statistically significant difference of having absent DPOAE in MPUE as compared to NMPUE (p value 0.38), and no statistically significant association was seen between group 1(talk time < 60 min) and group 2, (talk time > 60 min), in MPUE (p value 1.13) and NMPUE (p value 0.74). Conclusion: It was concluded that long-term and frequent exposure to EMFs from mobile phone does not cause damage to cochlea.","PeriodicalId":359613,"journal":{"name":"The Internet Journal of Otorhinolaryngology","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-06-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128843124","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
