Malleostapedotomy in Patients With Stapes Fixation: A Systematic Review. [PDF]
This systematic review analyses the current evidence on malleostapedotomy as a primary or revision procedure in patients with stapes fixation. Twenty‐five studies comprising 632 operated ears were included. Malleostapedotomy proved to be a safe and effective alternative to incus‐anchoring stapedoplasty, with favorable hearing outcomes and a low ...

Molecular Dynamics in Tetrafluoridoborate Salts of Divalent Metals Studied by Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy. [PDF]
We studied molecular dynamics in four tetrafluoridoborate salts by means of nuclear magnetic resonance. Characteristical motions in these systems are thermally‐activated reorientations of BF4− ions. We determine the activation energies for these processes and compare the dynamics with those in borohydride systems that share the tetrahedral geometry of ...

Assessing the Efficacy of Tragal Pumping in a Novel Tympanostomy Tube-Rat Model. [PDF]
Abstract Objective Tragal pumping (TP) is a practice of pushing on the tragus to raise pressure within the external auditory canal and is a commonly recommended adjunctive maneuver believed to facilitate the introduction of ototopical medications into the middle ear cavity via a tympanostomy tube. To investigate the efficacy of TP in the penetration of
