JOURNAL FREE ACCESSThe STAI, SDS, a health questionnaire, and a stress-check questionnaire were used to evaluate the psychological status of 47 patients with low-tone hearing deficit caused by Meniere's disease, acute low-tone sensorineural hearing loss, or suspected Meniere's disease.
Many patients had been under stress prior to occurrence of the low-tone hearing deficit and showed significantly higher tendencies toward anxiety, depression, and autonomic nervous system symptoms compared to the control group. At initial examination, 27 showed high STAI but this decreased 1 month later. In addition, in 20 of these 22 patients, both STAI and hearing had improved after 1 month, but in the 5 patients with no change in hearing STAI remained high even after 1 month.
Based on these results, we concluded that stress is a background factor in the causation of acute low-tone sensorineural hearing loss and should be considered as an important factor in attempting to ameliorate this condition.View full abstractDownload PDF (1398K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSWe retrospectively surveyed 43 ears operated on from April 2000 to March 2002 at St. Marianna University School of Medicine.
Surgery success was analyzed using the three criteria suggested by the Japan Clinical Otology Committee in 1999. The procedure was classified as successful when the hearing level 6 months after surgery met at least one of these three conditions : 1) an air-born gap of less than 15dB, 2) a gain of more than 15dB, or 3) a hearing level above 30dB. We used the autograft cartilage for a columella for ossicular reconstruction.
Success in all cases was 69.8%. In chronic otitis media, it was 87.5%. In cholesteatoma, it was 56.5%. We found no significant difference in success among canal-wall-down, canal reconstruction with mastoid obliteration and, canal-wall-up tympanoplasties. Success was 81.8% for type I tympanoplasty, 70.8% for type III with columella or interposition, and 50.0% for type N with columella or interposition.View full abstractDownload PDF (651K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSInferior nasal concha coagulation was performed using an argon plasma coagulation device to treat cedar pollen allergies that resisted conventional treatment. The procedures were performed during the Cryptomeria japonica pollen dispersion period. A questionnaire survey focusing on nasal symptoms was given to each patient three months after the operation. In 43 cases that were not physically examined at this time, 80% of the respondents answered that they believed their daily lives had become easier overall. Moreover, when asked whether the treatment was superior in its effectiveness to any treatments they had previously received, 88% of the respondents answered “Yes”. Ideally, coagulation treatment for pollinosis should be penformed before the season in which the pollen is released. However, in cases that resist conoventional treatment, coagulation treatment may be useful for alleviating : symptoms, helping patients to become more comfortable in their daily lives, even if the treatment is performed during the pollen season.View full abstractDownload PDF (684K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSThe patulous eustachian tube (ET) is a disease with annoying symptoms such as aural fullness, autophony, and the hearing of one's own respiratory sounds. In severe cases, it is very difficult to completely cure such symptoms.
We previously reported that transtympanic insertion of a specially designed silicone plug into ET was effective in about 80% of severe cases. Although rare, in a small number of cases, it was difficult to insert a plug through the tympanic orifice of the ET.
In this paper, we report a case of severe patulous ET, in which transtympanic insertion was unsuccessful. We succeeded in controlling symptoms by inserting the plug into the ET through the pharyngeal orifice.View full abstractDownload PDF (1183K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSA 44-year-old Japanese man experiencing repeated nosebleeds was diagnosed as having a blood boil in the maxillary sinus. Preoperative MRI showed a tumor in the maxillary sinus. Because this was suspected of being malignant, a biopsy was planned. Surgery was done endoscopically, however, with the tumor excised with minimal blood loss. Histopathological studies revealed blood including a mixture of inflammatory cells and fibrin deposits, and the tumor was thus diagnosed as a blood boil. We discuss the case with reference to indications for endoscopic sinus surgery for maxillary sinus blood boils and statistics from the literature.View full abstractDownload PDF (4417K) -
