Synergistic effect of Carbon-monoxide, Noise, Smoking and Hypertension on Hearing of Steel Industry workers (SJO) - Lupinepublishers

Synergistic effect of Carbon-monoxide, Noise, Smoking and Hypertension on Hearing of Steel Industry workers by Pragnya Prusty in SJO - Lupinepublishers

The synergistic effect of Carbon-monoxide, Noise, Smoking and Hypertension on Hearing of Steel Industry workers in Odisha has been examined in the present study. The objectives of the present study were to assess the auditory effects of the combined exposure of CO, Noise, Impact of smoking and Hypertension. 72 male workers (smokers and non-smokers) from the steel industry were examined, among which 62 were exposed to noise and CO (CEG- Continuously Exposed Group) simultaneously and 10 workers exposed to only noise (IEG-Intermittently Exposed Group). Biological concentrations of CO in blood (COHb), hypertension was measured considering smoking habits, the type of exposure (CO and noise or noise only), the time of exposure, the level of noise & age and audiometric tests were done to assess hearing ability. It has been observed that the noise levels measured in SMS, RMS, MBF s &Power plant sections is more than PEL i.e. 8 hours, TWA 90 dBA specified in the state regulations. Workers were not using ear protection devices. Study indicate the prevalence of hearing impairment was significantly more in CEG (85.14%) as compared to IEG (14.81%). The noise exposure and hearing impairment was found to be significant (p< 0.05). Positive relation was found among the level of noise, CO, Smoking & Hypertension (p< 0.05). The results of present study indicate that hypertension & hearing impairment are common problem among workers exposed to high levels of occupational noise.

Complications of Botulinum Toxin A: A Comprehensive Review (SJO) - Lupinepublishers

Complications of Botulinum Toxin A: A Comprehensive Review by Christopher Ian Newberry in SJO - Lupinepublishers

Botulinum toxin was first described in the 1800’s and has since found its permanent place in the medical community becoming the main ingredient of the most common cosmetic procedure. The injections have also gained multiple FDA approvals for both cosmetic and therapeutic indications. While the toxin injections have demonstrated a long history of safety, the drug remains highly controversial among regulators and legal entities. The following review provides a detailed, up-to-date description of botulinum toxin injection complications. Included topics are history, local and distal effects, long term safety, immunogenicity, use in pregnancy, and cosmetic use.

Complications of acute and chronic otitis media in the child - Review Article (SJO) - Lupinepublishers

Complications of acute and chronic otitis media in the child - Review Article by Dra Mirta D Ambra in SJO - Lupinepublishers

Thanks to the discovery of antibiotics, the incidence of complications in the chronic and acute otitis media has significantly decreased, though they remain a potential mortality and morbidity risk. The reduction of complications can be conditional on some diagnostic delays, on account of lack of clinical suspicions, symptoms disguised by previous antibiotic treatments and wrong prognosis; therefore, the complications continue to be severe processes that endanger the patient’s life. They are currently classified as extracranial and intracranial. The former is divided into extratemporal and intra temporal and represent a health problem for the pediatric population despite the extended use of antibiotics. The clinical, otomicroscopic and imaging assessment is reported as a diagnostic criterion predictive of suspicions and of confirmation. Facial paralysis, vertigo, vomiting, headache, pain irradiated to the mastoids, or to the temporoparietal region, and hyperthermia should be alerts to the physician about suppurative otitis complication.

External auditory canal cholesteatoma: A case report (SJO) - Lupinepublishers

External auditory canal cholesteatoma: A case report by Indira Acharya in SJO - Lupinepublishers

We present a case of cholesteatoma of external auditory canal with invasion to atic, aditus and antrum. Tympanic membrane remained intact. Malleus, incus and stapes supra structure were absent with dehiscent horizontal segment of facial nerve. Cochlea was totally dehiscent. Symptoms were only chronic otorrhoea and hearing impairment. Diagnosis was based on clinical analysis. CT Scan was used to measure pathology. Treatment was Modified radical mastoidectomy associated with meatoplasty.

Neck and Shoulders Motion Range after Neck Dissection (SJO) - Lupinepublishers

Neck and Shoulders Motion Range after Neck Dissection by Ljiljana Širic in SJO - Lupinepublishers

Neck dissection is a complex surgical procedure which leaves multiple consequences on the person to whom it is made. The aim was to measure the degree of damage to neck and shoulders motor function in patients who underwent neck dissection.

Materials and methods: 30 subjects divided into two groups depending on the dissection made (16 (53.3%) of selective and 14 (46.6% radical) accounted for both sexes (3 (10% of women and 27 (90%) of men) in average age of 64.2 years who underwent neck dissection. Digital goniometer was used to measure subject’s maximum range of motion on 7 variables (4 variables for the neck movements and 3 variables for the shoulder movements), of which 5 were bilateral. The results are ranked with in the category of a certain degree of damage depending on the standardized values of the maximum amplitude at the non-operated population with normal function of motion.

Results: Significant difference was found in the values of the amplitude of shoulder flexion, extension and abduction between groups at a significance level of 5% and in the confidence interval of 95%.

Conclusion: Rehabilitation is necessary after neck dissection and kinesiotherapy can be an important rehabilitation method for patients.

Congenital Craniofacial and Cervical Cysts, Sinuses and Fistulas- A Review Article (SJO) - Lupinepublishers

Congenital Craniofacial and Cervical Cysts, Sinuses and Fistulas- A Review Article by Heshmat S W Haroun in SJO - Lupinepublishers

Congenital cysts, sinuses and fistulas of the head and neck are anomalies that may be encountered in pediatric life. They represent abnormal development of the brachial apparatus or inclusion of the ectoderm at any site of the lines of fusion of the face. In the head, preauricular, salivary and median nasal fistulas as well as dermoid cysts and Vander Woude Syndrome examples. In the neck, median thyroglossal cyst and fistula, and lateral brachial cyst and fistula are well-known congenital anomalies. Proper diagnosis of these malformations is essential to decide the line of treatment. Standard and modified surgical procedures are adopted for excision and repair of these anomalies with the possibility of incidence of complications, recurrence and malignancy.
