Hyperostotic tympanic bone spicules in domestic and wild animal species [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Hyperostotic tympanic bone spicules (HTBS), or "mucoperiosteal exostoses" (ME, syn.) are small, globular (>= 1 mm in diameter), mostly stalked and drumstick-like, bony structures, which arise from the inner wall of the tympanic bulla and project into the

Middle ear innovation in Early Cretaceous eutherian mammals

open access: yesNature Communications, 2023
The middle ear ossicles in modern mammals are repurposed from postdentary bones in non-mammalian cynodonts. Recent discoveries by palaeontological and embryonic studies have developed different models for the middle ear evolution in mammaliaforms ...

Evaluation of Recurrence and Hearing Outcome for Inactive Squamosal Disease after Cartilage Strengthening Tympanoplasty

open access: yesInternational Archives of Otorhinolaryngology, 2022
Introduction Inactive squamosal disease is unique for having a conflicting treatment protocol, with an age-old debate between early surgical intervention or keeping patients in a long-term follow-up. The shifting paradigm is early intervention to prevent

Effects of the fibers distribution in the human eardrum: A biomechanical study [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
The eardrum separates the external ear from the middle ear and it is responsible to convert the acoustical energy into mechanical energy. It is divided by pars tensa and pars flaccida.

FGF23 Deficiency Leads to Mixed Hearing Loss and Middle Ear Malformation in Mice [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) is a circulating hormone important in phosphate homeostasis. Abnormal serum levels of FGF23 result in systemic pathologies in humans and mice, including renal phosphate wasting diseases and hyperphosphatemia. We sought
