Abstract

Aims: To investigate whether secondary otalgia is associated with cervical spine disorder (CSD), temporomandibular disorders (TMD), or both, and to describe the pain characteristics and the comorbidity of secondary otalgia in subjects with and without CSD and TMD. Methods: A mailed questionnaire was sent to a random sample of 2,500 people aged 25 to 65 years. Altogether 1,720 recipients responded. Inclusion criteria were pain inside or around the ear without infection, tumor, or trauma, of 6 or more months duration, and a pain frequency of at least once a month. Altogether 152 respondents fulfilled the criteria, and of these 100 participated in the clinical examinations and interviews. Results: Based on standardized examinations and interviews, 91 subjects had secondary otalgia and 9 had primary otalgia. Most (85%) of the 91 subjects with secondary otalgia also had signs and symptoms of TMD and/or CSD and were therefore classified into 3 groups: CSD (35%), TMD (20%), or "Combination," ie, signs and symptoms of both TMD and CSD (30%). Subjects without CSD or TMD (15%) reported the same level of intensity and impact of otalgia on daily living and psychological distress as the others but less frequent head and neck pain and fewer sleep-related problems. Conclusions: Most of the subjects reporting secondary otalgia also suffered from CSD or TMD or both. Thus, in patients with secondary otalgia, an examination of the cervical spine and the stomatognathic system should be routinely performed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

39. Intelligibility of vowels in words uttered by profoundly hearing-impaired children

Author

Suonpää, Jouko and Aaltonen, Olli

Abstract

The intelligibility of vowels in Finnish words pronounced by 86 deaf children was analyzed on the basis of the confusion matrix obtained from the responses of 43 listeners with normal hearing. Correct perceptual vowel responses from most correct to least correct were: /a/, /u/, /i/, /o/, /æ/, /e/, /y/ and /œ/. These results seem to demonstrate the dominance of phonemic cues achieved through lip reading. Indistinctness of articulation can be seen in the likelihood of confusions between vowel pairs: the neighbouring pairs especially /e/–/æ/ were most likely to be confused with each other. The analysis of phoneme confusions in relation to manner and place of articulation demonstrates a trend of open and back vowel neutralization. The most striking finding was the relative increase of harmonic front vowels (i.e. front vowels corresponding to the back vowels). The number of close and front vowels was almost the same in stimuli and responses.

46. Identification of CSF Leakage by Immunofixation

Author

Irjala, Kerttu, Suonpää, Jouko, and Laurent, Bernt

Abstract

• The use of immunofixation for identification of the presence of CSF by demonstrating its two electrophoretically separate bands of transferrin has proved to be a valid and rather simple method, particularly when the samples obtained from the nose or ear are very small and contaminated.(Arch Otolaryngol 105:447-448, 1979)

Abstract

Objective: To study bacteria and viruses in maxillary sinuses of patients with primary hypogammaglobulinemia receiving immunoglobulin therapy., Design: Prospective cross-sectional study during 6 months., Setting: Tertiary care university hospital., Patients: Seventeen patients with primary hypogammaglobulinemia (10 males and 7 females; mean age, 39 years [age range, 11-71 years]). Sixteen patients had common variable immunodeficiency, and 1 patient had X-linked agammaglobulinemia., Main Outcome Measures: Magnetic resonance imaging and x-ray imaging of paranasal sinuses when patients did not have signs of acute infection and reevaluation 6 months later. Maxillary sinus aspiration and lavage were performed at a follow-up visit. Sinus fluid analysis for bacteria and viruses was performed by culture and by polymerase chain reaction. A questionnaire on symptoms related to sinusitis was administered during the follow-up period., Results: Among 17 patients, 9 (53%) had radiologically defined sinusitis without subjective symptoms at study enrollment. At reevaluation 6 months later, radiological findings remained unchanged in two thirds of the patients. Among 15 patients, bacteria were found in sinus lavage samples from 13 patients, and viruses were found in samples from 7 patients. Eight patients had 2 pathogens or more on bacterial culture. Rhinovirus was identified from sinus lavage samples in 5 patients (33%), enterovirus in 3 patients (20%), and respiratory syncytial virus in 1 patient (7%). Pathogenic bacteria were found in maxillary sinuses of all patients who tested positive for rhinovirus and enterovirus. No fungi were found. During the follow-up period, 6 patients reported mucopurulent drainage., Conclusions: Bacteria and viruses were commonly found in maxillary sinuses of patients with primary hypogammaglobulinemia. Yearly evaluation by an ear, nose, and throat surgeon is recommended.
