Aims: This study aimed to access the correlation of the distance from round window-to-vertical facial canal and round window to pyramid with the visibility of round window intraoperatively. Settings and Design: A prospective observational study of CI surgeries was conducted in the E.N.T. Department of Indira Gandhi Institute of Medical Sciences, Patna, from December 2019 to December 2021. The study included 30 children aged <5 years who presented to the E.N.T. OPD with prelingual deafness and were diagnosed with bilateral severe-to-profound hearing loss. Subjects and Methods: The preoperative high-resolution computed tomography images in the axial cut bone window setting at round window level were used to calculate the distance of round window-to-vertical facial canal and round window to pyramid on the RadiAnt DICOM Viewer. The intraoperative visibility was assessed through the recordings of the operation. Statistical Analysis Used: The data were analyzed using the MS Office 2019 Excel spreadsheet (Microsoft Corp., Redmond, WA, USA) and the program IBM SPSS 28.0.0 (SPSS Inc., Chicago, IL, USA). One-way analysis of variance was used. Results: A significant difference existed between round window and vertical facial canal distance measured preoperatively with the three categories of visibility of round window intraoperatively (P = 0.033), but a weak significant difference was found with the distance of round window to the pyramid with the visibility of round window (P > 0.05). Conclusions: Preoperative computed tomography measurement of the round window and vertical facial canal is a reliable predictor of a round window configuration that may aid in predicting the round window visibility.","PeriodicalId":44304,"journal":{"name":"Indian Journal of Otology","volume":"28 1","pages":"135 - 138"},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2022-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47323073","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}

The aim of the present article was to determine whether serum levels of ischemia-modified albumin (IMA) are associated with BP and if there is a posttreatment change in IMA levels. Materials and Methods: This was a prospective study enrolling 23 patients (10 males and 13 females; mean age: 44.71 ± 16.72 years; and range, 20–57 years) and 23 healthy individuals (12 males and 11 females; mean age: 37.91 ± 9.16 years; and range, 9–73 years) as the control group. Blood samples were obtained from the antecubital vein from all of the volunteers. Albumin cobalt binding test was used to obtain the IMA levels. Results: The mean IMA level was 0.38 ± 0.06 absorbance units in the study group at the time of diagnosis, 0.35 ± 0.07 absorbance units at the posttreatment period, and 0.35 ± 0.06 absorbance units in the control group. IMA levels of patients in posttreatment period were lower than the onset of illness. The result was statistically significant (P = 0.01). Conclusion: The data demonstrate that IMA decreased in BP with treatment. This is a preliminary study and we could not obtain results that clearly support the ischemic hypothesis of pathogenesis of BP; we think it gives an idea for further studies.","PeriodicalId":44304,"journal":{"name":"Indian Journal of Otology","volume":"28 1","pages":"139 - 143"},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2022-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43486246","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}

Bhat","doi":"10.4103/indianjotol.indianjotol_38_21","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.4103/indianjotol.indianjotol_38_21","url":null,"abstract":"Background: Eustachian tube (ET) is a dynamically intricate and poorly accessible structure connecting the nose and the middle ear. Although chronic otitis media (COM) is multifactorial disease, ET dysfunction is an important but overlooked predisposing factor. With newer evidence into the dynamics and prognostic factor in outcome of middle ear surgeries, it has become a focus of research. Our study aims to evaluate the various ET parameters using high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) scan with multiplanar reconstruction technique. These parameters were compared between the diseased and normal ears to evaluate any association between the ET parameters and middle ear disease. Materials and Methods: It is a retrospective study of 66 HRCTs, with 47 HRCTs of COM and rest were controls. ET parameters including (a) ET-angle, (b) length, (c) pretympanic diameter, and (d) diameter at isthmus are measured accurately using HRCT temporal bone. Results: ET angle was significantly obtuse in COM group (154.81° ± 6.33°) when compared with the controls (149.99° ± 6.24°) with P < 0.001. Similar observation in ET angle was noted in diseased ear (154.54° ± 5.79°) in unilateral COM when compared with contralateral ear (149.56° ± 6.87°) (P = 0.001). ET was longer in COM group (3.44 ± 0.31) when compared with controls (3.4 ± 0.35). Pretympanic diameter and diameter at isthmus were greater in control group. Conclusion: The obtuse ET angle and narrow pretympanic diameter may contribute to the pathogenesis of COM. These measurements may be useful in the assessment of ET function preoperatively and might help in determining the surgical outcome. HRCT of temporal bone with multiplanar reconstruction is an effective tool to measure ET dimensions accurately.","PeriodicalId":44304,"journal":{"name":"Indian Journal of Otology","volume":"28 1","pages":"144 - 148"},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2022-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46873439","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}

There are variations noted in the SP which results in impingement on nearby vital structures and can cause annoying orofacial pain. Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) gives an accurate image without superimposition of adjacent structure. Aim: This study aims to investigate the three-dimensional orientation, length, and morphological variations of the SP using CBCT. Materials and Methods: One hundred and twenty CBCT images from the age of 20–60 years were retrieved and further divided into three groups (Group I, II, III). The length, anteroposterior angulation (APA), and mediolateral angulation (MLA) of styloid were measured along with its type of classification of elongation and calcification pattern were recorded. Statistical analysis was done using SPSS version 28. Results: In our study, the mean length, APA, and MLA of both right and left SPs were found to be 3.05 ± 1.1 cm, 31.7° ± 6.2°, and 67.3° ± 5.8°, respectively. 41.7% was the prevalence of elongation. No significant difference in prevalence, among age group observed. Type I and Type II classification of elongation was predominantly seen. Type B pattern of calcification was found to be statistically highly significant (P = 0.000) on both right and left sides. Conclusion: Diversity of SP in length, angle, and morphology can occur within individuals across populations and among gender; these variations need to be considered in symptomatic patients.","PeriodicalId":44304,"journal":{"name":"Indian Journal of Otology","volume":"28 1","pages":"119 - 125"},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2022-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46013236","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}

Material and Methods: Procedure- Examiner stands arm distance (60cm) behind the patient. Mask the non-test ear by occluding the external auditory canal by continuously generating rubbing sound. The patient is explained to repeat the words. Test always started with consonants followed by vowels. If more than 80% were correct it was treated as passed. Results: In our study out of 86 students, 8 children failed in whisper test, but all passed in conversation test. In the present study performance was poor in failed students. The incidence of day dream, learning difficulty, inattentiveness was high with hearing impaired children. Conclusion: The whisper test is a simple effective diagnostic and mass hearing screening test which can predict an early hearing loss and if performed by a trained paramedical or social worker can differentiate in conductive, sensorineural, cochlear, and retrocochlear lesion. Since the whisper test does not require a qualified audiologist or otolaryngologist, it should be be a part of annual health check-up and national programme of prevention and control of deafness specifically hearing care in the elderly.","PeriodicalId":44304,"journal":{"name":"Indian Journal of Otology","volume":"28 1","pages":"103 - 106"},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2022-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43460724","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}
