摘要:

Tinnitus: a double‐blind crossover controlled trial to evaluate the use of lignocaineA double‐blind crossover controlled trial assessing the use of intravenous lignocaine in the treatment of tinnitus is reported. Possible modes of action of the drug are suggested. It is shown that intravenous lignocaine is effective in reducing tinnitus, although duration of such effect is short. Consistently effective oral preparations to control tinnitus are yet to be descri

摘要:

Observations on the epidemiology of oesophageal carcinoma in the province of TriesteAfter describing the enormous variation in incidence of oesophageal carcinoma in different populations, the authors report data on the incidence of carcinoma of the oesophagus in the province of Trieste, Italy. There is a high incidence in men, this being among the highest in the world, excluding areas with so‐called ‘endemic’ disease. On the other hand, the incidence in women is low, even compared to other European regions. The epidemiological data reveal in particular that, in the province of Trieste, carcinoma of the oesophagus affects predominantly young and middle aged men. This may be related to high alcohol and tobacco consum

摘要:

Costen's syndrome—correlation or coincidence. A review of 45 patients with temporomandibular joint dysfunction, otalgia and other aural symptomsForty‐five patients with temporomandibular joint dysfunction, and otalgia together with other aural symptoms (deafness, tinnitus, pressure/blockage and vertigo) were evaluated clinically and audiometrically. The theoretical mechanisms by which aural symptoms may be produced as a result of temporomandibular joint dysfunction are outlined and discussed in the light of the patients under review. The wide diversity in the incidence of additional aural symptoms apart from otalgia reported in the literature is noted, together with the general lack of full objective audiometric assessment. In 37 patients the aural symptoms were directly attributable to other coincidental otolaryngologies] pathology. Details of the remaining 8 cases are presented. The other aural symptoms of 4 of these patients were also probably accounted for by other coincidental otolaryngologic!]pathology. It may be significant that 2 of the other patients were suffering from concurrent psychiatric disorders. Thus in this series at least 91% of the patients were considered to have other aural symptoms coincidental to temporomandibular joint dysfunction. This is compatible with the relatively common occurrence of both temporomandibular joint dysfunction and aural symptoms in the general population. This study leads us to believe that there is no direct aetiological basis to link temporomandibular joint dysfunction and other aural symptems apart from otal

摘要:

A survey of 63 patients with malignant tumour of the nasopharynx, treated over a 20‐year period (1958–1977) is presented. The major types of tumour were squamous cell and anaplastic carcinoma (including lymphoepithelioma) and non‐Hodgkin's lymphoma. In some patients other tumours were found, such as cylindroma, rhabdomyosarcoma and extramedullary plasmocytoma. A particularly high incidence of men younger than 40 years was seen with carcinoma and an occupation in a particular branch of industry, indicated as ‘metallurgic or allied’ (light engineering factories, garages etc.).e0Co irradiation was the primary therapy. Adjuvant chemotherapy was used in lymphoma or sarcoma. The survival was significantly better in the younger age group as far as carcinoma is concerned. The possible role of occupational factors is discussed in relation to findings in the l

摘要:

This first section deals with various techniques performed by the authors who conclude in favour of a living tissue graft sealing the oval window, particularly Teflon‐piston against veingraft, i.e the ‘Teflon‐interposition’ technique. Intra‐operative problems of associated diseases and of the technical difficulties encountered during stapedectomy, are related and their treatment explained. Revision operations and immediate postoperative therapy end this f
