Resumen Introducción: El tinnitus se define como la percepción consciente de un sonido, en ausencia de un estímulo acústico externo correspondiente. Se ha relacionado a múltiples comorbilidades como hipertensión arterial (HTA), diabetes mellitus (DM) e hipoacusia, sin evidencia sólida en la actualidad. Hay diversas formas de experimentar el tinnitus, ya sea de comienzo unilateral o bilateral, intermitente o persistente, con deterioro de la calidad de vida, leve hasta formas invalidantes. El conocer las diversas patologías presentes en el tinnitus, en especial la hipoacusia, toma relevancia al momento de enfrentar a pacientes con dicha patología. Objetivo: Caracterizar el tinnitus y sus principales hallazgos audiométricos en pacientes atendidos en el Servicio de Otorrinolaringología del Hospital Clínico Herminda Martín de Chillán, Chile. Material y Método: Estudio retrospectivo. Se incluyeron pacientes mayores de 18 años con diagnóstico de tinnitus entre los años 2015-2017. Se obtuvo información epidemiológica, comorbilidades, presentación clínica del tinnitus en función de lateralidad y frecuencia, hipoacusia asociada y hallazgos audiométricos. Resultados: Se incluyeron en el estudio a 249 pacientes, la mayoría mujeres (70%) con una edad promedio de inicio de su tinnitus entre 60-79 años (52%). Entre las principales comorbilidades se encuentran la hipertensión arterial, diabetes mellitus y patologías autoinmunes; los síntomas otorrinolaringológicos acompañantes estuvieron en menos del 10% de los casos. En relación a la caracterización del tinnitus, el 52% fue de inicio unilateral y el 66% de forma continua. La hipoacusia objetivada en el audiograma estuvo presente en el 43% de los pacientes con tinnitus. Conclusión: El tinnitus es una patología compleja y multifactorial, en este sentido, la presencia de hipoacusia objetiva en la audiometría estuvo presente en un 43% de los pacientes, siendo una de las principales causas a descartar por el médico en el primer enfrentamiento del paciente.

We present sea ice temperature and salinity data from first-year ice (FYI) and second-year ice (SYI) relevant to the temporal development of sea ice permeability and brine drainage efficiency from the early growth phase in October 2019 to the onset of spring warming in May 2020. Our dataset was collected in the central Arctic Ocean during the Multidisciplinary drifting Observatory for the Study of Arctic Climate (MOSAiC) Expedition in 2019 to 2020. MOSAiC was an international transpolar drift expedition in which the German icebreaker RV Polarstern anchored into an ice floe to gain new insights into Arctic climate over a full annual cycle. In October 2019, RV Polarstern moored to an ice floe in the Siberian sector of the Arctic at 85 degrees north and 137 degrees east to begin the drift towards the North Pole and the Fram Strait via the Transpolar Drift Stream. The data presented here were collected during the first three legs of the expedition, so all the coring activities took place on the same floe. The end dates of legs 1, 2, and 3 were 13 December, 24 February, and 4 June, respectively. The dataset contributed to a baseline study entitled, Deciphering the properties of different Arctic ice types during the growth phase of the MOSAiC floes: Implications for future studies. The study highlights downward directed gas pathways in FYI and SYI by inferring sea ice permeability and potential brine release from several time series of temperature and salinity measurements. The physical properties presented in this paper lay the foundation for subsequent analyses on actual gas contents measured in the ice cores, as well as air-ice and ice-ocean gas fluxes. Sea ice cores were collected with a Kovacs Mark II 9 cm diameter corer. To measure ice temperatures, about 4.5 cm deep holes were drilled into the core (intervals varied by site and leg) . The temperatures were measured by a digital thermometer within minutes after the cores were retrieved. The ice cores were placed into pre-labelled plastic sleeves sealed at the bottom end. The ice cores were transported to RV Polarstern and stored in a -20 degrees Celsius freezer. Each of the cores was sub-sampled, melted at room temperature, and processed for salinity within one or two days. The practical salinity was estimated by measuring the electrical conductivity and temperature of the melted samples using a WTW Cond 3151 salinometer equipped with a Tetra-Con 325 four-electrode conductivity cell. The practical salinity represents the the salinity estimated from the electrical conductivity of the solution. The dataset also contains derived variables, including sea ice density, brine volume fraction, and the Rayleigh number.
