Pleomorphic adenoma presenting with conductive hearing loss in the ear canal: a case report and review of the literature [PDF]
INTRODUCTION: Pleomorphic adenoma accounts for 65 percent of all salivary gland tumors. It has been identified in several anatomical regions, but pleomorphic adenoma arising in the ear canal, first described in 1951, is extremely rare. CASE PRESENTATION:

Development of an optical probe to investigate the suitability of measuring photoplethysmographs and blood oxygen saturation from the human auditory canal [PDF]
Pulse oximetry has become a standard for patient monitoring in the operating room, and the finger is the most common site used for monitoring blood oxygen saturation (SpO2).

Otitis externa can be a complicated and difficult disease to diagnose and treat. Because of the unique physiology of the ear canal and common pathophysiology of otitis externa regardless of the underlying cause, the clinician must rely on history, dermatologic examination, and ancillary tests to determine the cause and appropriate therapy for a ...

Cochlear-bone wave can yield a hearing sensation as well as otoacoustic emission
A hearing sensation arises when the elastic basilar membrane inside the cochlea vibrates. The basilar membrane is typically set into motion through airborne sound that displaces the middle ear and induces a pressure difference across the membrane.

In-ear photoplethysmography for central pulse waveform analysis in non-invasive hemodynamic monitoring [PDF]
In recent years, the analysis of the photoplethys-mographic (PPG) pulse waveforms has attracted much research focus. However, the considered signals are primarily recorded at the fingertips, which suffer from reduced peripheral perfusion in situations ...

Reconfigurable Magnetic Soft Microrobot for Acoustically Triggered Targeted Bacterial Sterilization
Reconfigurable magnetic soft microrobots integrate in situ‐grown piezoelectric zinc oxide nanorods that produce reactive oxygen species upon acoustic excitation. Combining magnetically guided transport with thermally induced planar reconfiguration, the microrobots achieve targeted delivery and enhanced bacterial sterilization through efficient on ...

Removal of superglue from the external ear using acetone: a case report
Foreign bodies in ear are a common occurrence and are commonly seen in the practice. But some foreign bodies require special attention. We here describe a unique situation of cynoacrylate glue or superglue in the external auditory canal which was removed
