Staged retroauricular flap for helical reconstruction after Mohs micrographic surgery [PDF]
Staged retroauricular flap is a great option for full-thickness defects along the helical rim and antihelix. Donor site consists of the posterior ear, postauricular sulcus and mastoid area.

Endoscopic excision of a tympanic paraganglioma: Training the next generation of ear surgeons
Tympanic paragangliomas are uncommon vascular tumors of neural crest origin. Classically these lesions have been surgically managed via a transcanal or transmastoid approach using binocular microscopy. We describe a case in which a tympanic paraganglioma

Adverse Health Correlates of Intimate Partner Violence against Older Women: Mining Electronic Health Records [PDF]
Intimate partner violence (IPV) is often studied as a problem that predominantly affects younger women. However, studies show that older women are also frequently victims of abuse even though the physical effects of abuse are harder to detect. In this study, we mined the electronic health records (EHR) available through IBM Explorys to identify health ...

Papillary Mucinous Adenocarcinoma of the Endolymphatic Sac: A Rare Middle Ear Neoplasm [PDF]
Glandular neoplasms of the temporal-mastoid region and endolymphatic sac (ELS) are rare, and it is quite challenging to differentiate between an adenoma and an adenocarcinoma. ELS tumors (ELST) usually present with papillary, follicular, or solid patterns and can be further distinguished histologically and through immunohistochemistry.

Transfer learning using deep neural networks for Ear Presentation Attack Detection: New Database for PAD [PDF]
Ear recognition system has been widely studied whereas there are just a few ear presentation attack detection methods for ear recognition systems, consequently, there is no publicly available ear presentation attack detection (PAD) database. In this paper, we propose a PAD method using a pre-trained deep neural network and release a new dataset called ...

Ear-EEG Sensitivity Modelling for Neural and Artifact Sources [PDF]
The ear-EEG has emerged as a promising candidate for wearable brain monitoring in real-world scenarios. While experimental studies have validated ear-EEG in multiple scenarios, the source-sensor relationship for a variety of neural sources has not been established.

Papillary Endolymphatic Sac Tumor: A Case Report
Glandular tumors involving the middle ear are rare and distinguishing between adenoma and adenocarcinoma remains difficult. A distinct subclass of these tumors demonstrates microscopic papillary architecture and has a propensity to erode the petrous bone

Computational Intelligence Approach to Improve the Classification Accuracy of Brain Neoplasm in MRI Data [PDF]
Automatic detection of brain neoplasm in Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is gaining importance in many medical diagnostic applications. This report presents two improvements for brain neoplasm detection in MRI data: an advanced preprocessing technique is proposed to improve the area of interest in MRI data and a hybrid technique using Convolutional ...

Double Glomus Tumors Originating in the Submandibular and Parotid Regions [PDF]
Glomus tumors are rare neoplasms that originate from the glomus bodies, an arteriovenous anastomosis with a specialized vascular structure. The most common site for these tumors is the subungal region of the fingers. Occasionally, glomus tumors are found
