[Survey on the harmfulness of listening to music with headphones].

A survey conducted in 52,000 young male subjects evaluated the influence of listening to music with stereophonic headphones on perception hypacusis leading to exemption from National Service. Also investigated were noise level output from promenaders as well as temporary auditory loss two minutes after listening for one hour. Findings suggested relative innocuity of listening at moderate intensity for less than seven hours weekly. Users exceeding these optimal factors develop professional type deafness for which similar preventive measures are required. Particular mention is made of the effect of strolling listeners on vigilance and on sound pollution of industrialized countries.

[Otologic complications of water beds].

Since the introduction of the use of water beds several cases of ear infections have been observed. These are due to the escape of microspheres and the prevention of these manifestations requires strict manipulation of these beds.

[Major acoustic injuries caused by firearms].

The appearance of new generations of firearms, very harmful for the hearing of the shooter, suggested the need for an updated review of data concerning detonations and their effect on hearing. Emphasis is given to the place of acoustic injuries among traumatic pressure-induced otopathies as well as the value and efficacy of current therapeutic measures.

[Mediofacial necrosis and malignant centrofacial granuloma. Apropos of 8 cases and 1 with atypical localizations].

Since the first descriptions by McBride and then Stewart, and later reports by wegener, numerous publications have contained data emphasizing the diagnostic and classification difficulties of these affections, 450 cases having been documented up to the present times. Findings clearly demonstrate that mediofacial necrosis differs greatly by its pathological, etiopathogenic and out come features, and particularly the localization of the lesions. Eight case were investigated, and conclusions drawn that it was important to identify the different affections grouped under the term "mediofacial necrosis", in order to isolate cases of pure malignant centrofacial granuloma, which have no detectable etiology and cannot be integrated in another nosological framework.

[Value of immediate prosthetic technics in hemiresections of the face].

A brief historical survey is completed by the presentation of a technique for immediate prosthetic rehabilitation during facial hemiresections for malignant tumors. The method presents multiple advantages when compared to typical drainage procedures from the physiological, mechanical and psychological points of view. A detailed description of the introduction of this prosthesis is followed by a brief summary of postoperative sequelae and the advantages the method supplies due to its extreme simplicity in application.

[An uncommon localization of upper respiratory-digestive tract tuberculosis: the cavum].

On the basis of a personal case, the authors recall the features of tuberculosis in the cavum. These lesions can resemble malignant tumours of the rhino-pharynx and they are part of the differential diagnosis. In particular, the authors stress the existence of rhino-pharyngeal tuberculosis with very few symptoms, which need to be investigated routinely in the context of a survey of proven pulmonary tuberculosis.

[A severe form of external otitis: necrosing diabetic otitis].

Otitis externa are of usual observation in inter-tropical regions. Pseudomonas aeruginosa is responsible generally. But, when immunodeficiency is associated or on diabetic diathesis, such an otitis externa can be extremely dangerous: extensive osteitis of the base of the skull, paralysis of the last pairs of cervical nerves rapidly creeping, built a clinical identity called malignant external otitis, leading to death in 50% of the cases.

[Cervical cystic lymphangiomas in adults].

Cystic hygromas, infrequent in children, are even rarer in adults where they are generally unexpected operative findings. Now, with the progress in modern medical imaging, the diagnosis can be suggested before operation. Analysis of the embryogenesis helps to explain the different anatomical and clinical forms and the relations of the cystic hygroma with neighboring tissues, particularly of venous origin. 9 cases of cystic hygroma of the neck in adults are reported and discussed with 26 other well documented cases from the literature. The diagnosis can be confirmed only after operation and histological examination. Surgical removal is technically less difficult in adults than in children and recurrences are rare.
