Stapedotomia V.S. Stapedectomia: nostra esperienza
2013
RAZIONALE La chirurgia della staffa ha visto negli ultimi anni molte innovazioni nel trattamento chirurgico dell'otosclerosi. In particolare, la stapedectomia è stata sostituita sempre più dalla stapedotomia prima con metodo classico e successivamente con metodica invertita, in quanto si ritiene che tali varianti chirurgiche consentano una maggiore riduzione del gap tra via ossea e via aerea per le alte frequenze, una migliore discriminazione vocale oltre che minori complicanze intra e post operatorie. Lo scopo del presente studio è stato quello di confrontare i risultati della stapedotomia con la stapedectomia nei pazienti affetti da otosclerosi e in particolare il miglior recupero uditivo…

TINNITUS PATIENTS: ETIOLOGIC, AUDIOLOGIC AND PSYCHOLOGICAL PROFILE
2013
Tinnitus represents one of the most frequent symptoms observed in the general population in association with different pathologies, although often its etiology remains unclear. Objective of this work is to evidence the main aspects concerning epidemiology, causes, audiological characteristics and psychological consequences of tinnitus.
Tinnitus: a vision for research
2009
Tinnitus is classically defined as the perception of sound that has no external source. It was assumed to be primarily a disorder of the ear and has been linked to mechanisms equivalent to phantom pain; a pain sensation located to a no longer existing part of the body. Phantom pain is closely correlated with a cortical plasticity and with a reorganization of the somatosensory cortex. The end result is an alteration of neuronal activity, leading to tinnitus. Over the past decade, however, research on brain mechanisms of tinnitus has progressed rapidly, and insights have emerged into the possible neurological origins of tinnitus without any auditory dysfunction. Identification of the neurosci…

Otite media atelettasica, adesiva, timpanosclerotica: update medico e chirurgico
2011
Otitis media secretive is one of the most common ear diseases characterized by frequent sequelae and complications; in particular the authors describe middle ear atelectasis with pocket retraction of tympanic membrane, pocket retraction limited to pars tensa or to pars flaccida, adhesive otitis media, partial or total myringosclerosis and tympanosclerosis. For each disease the Authors comment the best surgical approaches to preserve and restore conductive hearing loss. As for middle ear atelectasis, adhesive otitis media, myringosclerosis and partial tympanosclerosis it was evidenced a significant hearing gain while in total tympanosclerosis there was an initial hearing improvement in a sho…
Upper respiratory tract infections in children: From case history to management
2015
Respiratory tract infections are the most common diseases in childhood. The respiratory tract, widely branched system of ducts, is particularly exposed to the action of microorganisms transmitted by air from here the high frequency of infections they face especially in the first years of life. It is usual distinguish: upper respiratory tract infections (URTI) and lower respiratory tract infections (LRTI). In particular, in infections of the upper airways, the inflammatory process, result of the interaction between microbes and the immune response, can be localized to the mucosa of the nose or sinuses (common cold and sinusitis), or the pharynx or larynx (pharyngotonsillitis and laryngitis) …
Potenziali evocati vestibolari miogenici nei deficit uditivi
2009
Con il termine VEMPs (Vestibular Evoked Muscolar Potentials) si designa una particolare tipologia di potenziali muscolari registrabili dal muscolo sternocleidomastoideo (SCM), a seguito di un'intensa stimolazione acustica. La neurofisiotopografia dei VEMPs si racchiude in un breve arco riflesso disinaptico: lo stimolo sonoro agendo sui recettori otolitici sacculari determina l’attivazione del riflesso vestibolo-collico che viene registrato come “variazione di potenziale bioelettrico” ponendo gli elettrodi sulla clavicola, sul muscolo sternocleidomastoideo, e sullo sterno. La metodica quindi rappresenta una strategia non invasiva di esplorazione di entrambi i vestiboli, dei recettori otoliti…
