Polymeric stents for the Eustachian tube: development and human cadaver study

open access: yesCurrent Directions in Biomedical Engineering, 2020
Impairment of Eustachian tube function with nonsufficient ventilation of the middle ear is a main cause for chronic otitis media. To provide an effective and safe therapy, the innovative concept of Eustachian tube stenting was established.

Eustachian tube dysfunction in patients with house dust mite-allergic rhinitis

open access: yesClinical and Translational Allergy, 2020
Background One of the important pathogeneses of eustachian tube dysfunction (ETD) is nasal inflammatory disease. The prevalence of allergic rhinitis (AR) in adults ranges from 10 to 30% worldwide. However, research on the status of eustachian tubes in AR

CT imaging of the cartilaginous Eustachian tube

open access: yes, 2019
The Eustachian tube (ET) maintains middle ear health and function by equalizing pressure, clearing mucus and pathogens, and by protecting the middle ear from sounds. Chronic Eustachian tube dysfunction is failure in one or more of these functions ≥ three

The Effect of Types of Nasal Septum Deviation on the Eustachian Tube Function

open access: yesBezmiâlem Science, 2019
Objective:Nasal septum deviations are divided into six different subtypes in the literature. Because obstruction and nasal airflows in the nasal passages that these types form are different, their effects on the eustachian tube can be different.

A perspective from the Mesozoic: Evolutionary changes of the mammalian skull and their influence on feeding efficiency and high‐frequency hearing

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The complex evolutionary history behind modern mammalian chewing performance and hearing function is a result of several changes in the entire skeletomuscular system of the skull and lower jaw. Lately, exciting multifunctional 3D analytical methods and kinematic simulations of feeding functions in both modern and fossil mammals and their ...

The petrotympanic canal (Huguier canal): Evolutionary, anatomical, and medical perspectives

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The petrotympanic canal, traditionally referred to as Civinini's or Huguier's canal, represents an anatomical passage connecting the middle ear and temporomandibular joint (TMJ). Despite its early description, its structural complexity and functional significance have often been underestimated. In this study, we combined historical, anatomical,
