[Otoacoustic emissions in sudden deafness].

UNLABELLED: The idiopathic type of sudden deafness installed in few hours become evident in audiometry as deafness perceptive of loud tones, neurosensorial deafness of loud tones and completely of treble sounds or cofosis. The otoacoustic emissions are modificated in sudden deafness. OBJECTIVES: To know and describe how are the otoacoustic emissions and the audition in sudden deafness. To analyse a possible relationship between audition, otovestibular and clinic participation with the parameters of the graphoelements of the otoacoustic emissions. PATIENTS AND METHODS: We study 52 patients with diagnostic of sudden deafness with a backward, observational and descriptive and analytic design of the results. Patients with ORL diagnostic were selectioned and audiometric, vestibular test and otoacoustic emissions were made. RESULTS: In our research we find quantitative and qualitative variations statistically significative in the otoacoustic emissions design. Its presence in the different frequencies is altered or is missing in any case of sudden deafness in which there are damages of the inner ear. There is not associative correlation between the alterations of otoacoustic emissions and the kind of sudden deafness, neither its provoking factors, anigiohematical, viral or traumatic. DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSIONS: There are modifications of the otoacoustic emissions but not specificals or the kinds of sudden deafness and its provoking factors. Another publications agree and underwrite our discoveries. We thought that our aportation with this study is fundamental for the clinic application of the otoacoustic emissions in the processes of sudden deafness.

[Efficacy of the treatment of Ménière's disease with oligoelements].

OBJECTIVES: 1st To study and know better the therapeutical action of the olygoelements in the Ménière's diseases. 2nd To analyse if there are significative statistical associations of therapeutical response to the olygoelements in the Ménière's sickness. MATERIAL AND METHODS: We make a design of observational study of 68 patients with the diagnostic of Ménière's sickness, with classical therapeutic and 34 treated with and without litium olygoelements and manganese&cupper. RESULTS: In the descriptive statistics we find better results in the Ménières treated with olygoelements than in those that were not treated. In the analytic associative statistics we find that for 3 degrees of freedom a chi-square of 13.20 that is equal to 0.00459 (less than 0.05) that indicate that there's significative differences between both treatments not due to casuality. DISCUSSION: There are significative differences of better results in Ménières treated with olygoelements. The new aspect of potentiate the therapeutical arsenal of Ménières evidences a new possibility of soon clinical aplication.

[The study of postoperative infection in patients after laryngeal cancer surgery].

We evaluated wound infections in major oncological surgery for laryngeal neoplasm and functional neck dissection. Our objective was to determine the incidence and prevalence of infection in a group of laryngectomized patients; we evaluated the temperature, duration of fever, and analytical findings in the postoperative period, antibiotic prophylaxis, and the treatment of infectious complications. A retrospective study was designed to examine the infectious complications that appeared in 97 patients who underwent laryngectomy and neck dissection for laryngeal carcinoma from 1994 to 1996 in an ENT department. Factors that influence wound infection were examined: fever, granulocytopenia, preoperative assessment, bacteriological culture, therapy and prophylaxis, and treatment. The data were analyzed statistically and compared with findings by other authors.

[Amelanotic mucous melanoma of the nasal cavity. Report of a case].

We report a case of mucosal melanoma of the nasal cavity, of amelanotic nature, in a fifty five years old white man. Clinical course started with nasal obstruction and bloodstained rhinorrhea. We want to emphasize the extreme uncommonness of this type of tumor, its bad prognosis, and its difficult diagnosis. The treatment offers long term remission to a limited number of patients. For all these reasons, we have carried out a literature search on this topic and this paper shows the results.

[Extraluminal migration of a foreign body. A case report].

A case of extraluminal migration of a foreign body that produced chronic sialoadenitis is reported. Seven years earlier, the patient had swallowed a fish bone that was not recovered. The little literature available on these uncommon lesions is reviewed.

[Effectiveness of uvulopalatopharyngoplasty in snoring disorders and obstructive sleep apnea].

We studied the effectiveness of uvulopalatopharyngoplasty under general anesthesia and classical surgery in 26 patients treated surgically for chronic snoring (CS) and obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS). Our technique is a variation of the Fujita and Quesada technique that involves partial resection of the palate and uvula with endonasal microsurgery. The criteria for inclusion were age 35 to 47 years and desire to do without C-PAP or Bi-PAP. This device, although effective, produced poor physical and psychological tolerance. After a postoperative follow-up of 3 years, good results were found in all cases.
