Objective: The main objectives are to study the early after-effects of tracheostomy and to study the flora of the tracheal secretion and its impact on the host. Materials and Methods: This was a cross-sectional study that was undertaken in a tertiary referral public hospital. Sixty patients were categorized into two groups of 30 each, intubated (Group A) and nonintubated (Group B), before tracheostomy. The consistency, quantity, and culture sensitivity of the tracheal secretion and its impact on the lungs were noted on day 2, 30, and 90 after the procedure. Results: The most common after-effect was copious tracheal secretion that was obvious immediately after tracheostomy which, gradually reduced to scanty. The most common organism was Pseudomonas and Klebsiella in intubated and nonintubated patients on day 2 and day 30, respectively. Conclusion: Tracheal secretion was copious and colonized in most of the patients in both the groups in the immediate post tracheostomy period which became scanty and free of colonies by the 3rd month.

The most common organism was Pseudomonas and Klebsiella in intubated and nonintubated patients on day 2 and day 30, respectively. Conclusion: Tracheal secretion was copious and colonized in most of the patients in both the groups in the immediate post tracheostomy period which became scanty and free of colonies by the 3rd month. The organisms had no negative impact on the lower respiratory tract.","owner":{"id":35247631,"first_name":"Vikram","middle_initials":null,"last_name":"Bhat","page_name":"VikramBhat","domain_name":"rguhs","created_at":"2015-09-24T10:03:29.677-07:00","display_name":"Vikram Bhat","url":"https://rguhs.academia.edu/VikramBhat"},"attachments":[],"research_interests":[{"id":26327,"name":"Medicine","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Medicine"}],"urls":[]}, dispatcherData: dispatcherData }); $(this).data('initialized', true); } }); $a.trackClickSource(".js-work-strip-work-link", "profile_work_strip") if (false) { Aedu.setUpFigureCarousel('profile-work-80372176-figures'); } }); </script> <div class="js-work-strip profile--work_container" data-work-id="80372175"><div class="profile--work_thumbnail hidden-xs"><a class="js-work-strip-work-link" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-thumbnail" href="https://www.academia.edu/80372175/Unusual_presentation_of_chronic_myeloid_leukemia_in_chronic_phase_as_multiple_soft_tissue_chloromas"><img alt="Research paper thumbnail of Unusual presentation of chronic myeloid leukemia in chronic phase as multiple soft tissue chloromas" class="work-thumbnail" src="https://attachments.academia-assets.com/86775893/thumbnails/1.jpg" /></a></div><div class="wp-workCard wp-workCard_itemContainer"><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--title"><a class="js-work-strip-work-link text-gray-darker" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-title" href="https://www.academia.edu/80372175/Unusual_presentation_of_chronic_myeloid_leukemia_in_chronic_phase_as_multiple_soft_tissue_chloromas">Unusual presentation of chronic myeloid leukemia in chronic phase as multiple soft tissue chloromas</a></div><div class="wp-workCard_item"><span>Journal of Cytology</span><span>, 2020</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item"><span class="js-work-more-abstract-truncated">Regional anesthesia has become the primary anesthetic technique in management of trauma cases and...</span><a class="js-work-more-abstract" data-broccoli-component="work_strip.more_abstract" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-more-abstract" href="javascript:;"><span> more </span><span><i class="fa fa-caret-down"></i></span></a><span class="js-work-more-abstract-untruncated hidden">Regional anesthesia has become the primary anesthetic technique in management of trauma cases and is reported to have several advantages over general anesthesia.

Results: Thirty-two biopsy-proven cases of laryngeal tuberculosis with pulmonary involvement were found. Patients' ages ranged from 16 to 65 years. The male-to-female ratio was 4.3:1.

The demand for corrective procedure of surgical myringoplasty, which is considered the gold standard for tympanic membrane perforations, is also growing. Hence, there is a need to innovate simpler alternative office procedures that could save effort, time, waiting period, and expenditure. Materials and Methods This prospective study of 84 patients with mucosal chronic otitis media was undertaken in a tertiary referral hospital. All patients underwent eustachian tube function test, diagnostic nasal endoscopy, and pure tone audiometry. The size of the perforation was assessed endoscopically. All perforations were freshened first with silver nitrate solution. Silastic pieces were placed medial and lateral to the perforation with epidermal growth factor gel in between.

Considering the individual risk analysis of patients in terms of anesthetic, post-operative complications and recurrence, non-surgical treatment could be considered in patients who are unfit for surgery. Methods: Randomized control trial was conducted to compare the effects of topical nasal steroid spray with curettage adenoidectomy in chronic adenoiditis. Post intervention, patients were followed up for 6 months. Results: Out of 103 patients, 51 were subjected to adenoidectomy and 52 to medical treatment. At the end of 6 months, 49 (Negative rank score) patients of surgical group and 48 (Negative rank score) patients of medical group showed statistically significant improvement (p<.001) in symptoms and regression of adenoid size. There was no statistically significant difference between groups with respect to recurrent cold, running nose, epistaxis and ear symptoms (p>.05). Conclusion: Topical nasal steroid spray can be used as an alternative treatment in chronic adenoiditis when surgery is contraindicated.

Considering the individual risk analysis of patients in terms of anesthetic, post-operative complications and recurrence, non-surgical treatment could be considered in patients who are unfit for surgery. Methods: Randomized control trial was conducted to compare the effects of topical nasal steroid spray with curettage adenoidectomy in chronic adenoiditis. Post intervention, patients were followed up for 6 months. Results: Out of 103 patients, 51 were subjected to adenoidectomy and 52 to medical treatment. At the end of 6 months, 49 (Negative rank score) patients of surgical group and 48 (Negative rank score) patients of medical group showed statistically significant improvement (p\u003c.001) in symptoms and regression of adenoid size. There was no statistically significant difference between groups with respect to recurrent cold, running nose, epistaxis and ear symptoms (p\u003e.05).

This case serves as a good demonstration of how a ventilating mastoid fistula can change the natural course of atticoantral CSOM and abort the occurrence of deadly complications.","owner":{"id":35247631,"first_name":"Vikram","middle_initials":null,"last_name":"Bhat","page_name":"VikramBhat","domain_name":"rguhs","created_at":"2015-09-24T10:03:29.677-07:00","display_name":"Vikram Bhat","url":"https://rguhs.academia.edu/VikramBhat"},"attachments":[],"research_interests":[{"id":21141,"name":"Fistula","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Fistula"},{"id":143164,"name":"Ear Nose and Throat","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Ear_Nose_and_Throat"},{"id":244814,"name":"Clinical Sciences","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Clinical_Sciences"},{"id":1492684,"name":"Ear Diseases","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Ear_Diseases"},{"id":2222587,"name":"Mastoiditis","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Mastoiditis"},{"id":3322486,"name":"Mastoid","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Mastoid"}],"urls":[{"id":11687897,"url":"http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19826984"}]}, dispatcherData: dispatcherData }); $(this).data('initialized', true); } }); $a.trackClickSource(".js-work-strip-work-link", "profile_work_strip") if (false) { Aedu.setUpFigureCarousel('profile-work-53935553-figures'); } }); </script> <div class="js-work-strip profile--work_container" data-work-id="53935552"><div class="profile--work_thumbnail hidden-xs"><a class="js-work-strip-work-link" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-thumbnail" rel="nofollow" href="https://www.academia.edu/53935552/Bilateral_atticoantral_chronic_suppurative_otitis_media_presenting_as_bilateral_cutaneous_mastoid_fistulas"><img alt="Research paper thumbnail of Bilateral atticoantral chronic suppurative otitis media presenting as bilateral cutaneous mastoid fistulas" class="work-thumbnail" src="https://a.academia-assets.com/images/blank-paper.jpg" /></a></div><div class="wp-workCard wp-workCard_itemContainer"><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--title">Bilateral atticoantral chronic suppurative otitis media presenting as bilateral cutaneous mastoid fistulas</div><div class="wp-workCard_item"><span>Ear, nose, & throat journal</span><span>, 2009</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item"><span class="js-work-more-abstract-truncated">Postauricular cutaneous mastoid fistula secondary to chronic suppurative otitis media (CSOM) is a...</span><a class="js-work-more-abstract" data-broccoli-component="work_strip.more_abstract" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-more-abstract" href="javascript:;"><span> more </span><span><i class="fa fa-caret-down"></i></span></a><span class="js-work-more-abstract-untruncated hidden">Postauricular cutaneous mastoid fistula secondary to chronic suppurative otitis media (CSOM) is an unusual complication.

Materials and Methods: This was a cross-sectional study that was undertaken in a tertiary referral public hospital. Sixty patients were categorized into two groups of 30 each, intubated (Group A) and nonintubated (Group B), before tracheostomy. The consistency, quantity, and culture sensitivity of the tracheal secretion and its impact on the lungs were noted on day 2, 30, and 90 after the procedure. Results: The most common after-effect was copious tracheal secretion that was obvious immediately after tracheostomy which, gradually reduced to scanty.

The study group comprised 187 ears, out of which 62 had complications while 125 did not.

Materials and methods: Medical records of histopathology confirmed cases with pulmonary Kochs in a tertiary medical center of a developing country from 1993 to 2007. Results: Thirty-two biopsy-proven cases of laryngeal tuberculosis with pulmonary involvement were found. Patients' ages ranged from 16 to 65 years. The male-to-female ratio was 4.3:1. Hoarseness of voice was the commonest symptom. Most of them were associated with advanced fibrocavitary tuberculosis of the lungs. In the larynx, multiple, granulomatous, bilateral lesions were the commonest. Most of these lesions could be reversed with appropriate antituberculous treatment. Conclusion: Laryngeal tuberculosis with classic presentation continues to exist in developing countries. It can be the very first indication that the patient has tuberculosis.

Hence, the otolaryngologist needs to remain vigilant to consider it in the differential diagnosis of chronic laryngeal disease.","owner":{"id":35247631,"first_name":"Vikram","middle_initials":null,"last_name":"Bhat","page_name":"VikramBhat","domain_name":"rguhs","created_at":"2015-09-24T10:03:29.677-07:00","display_name":"Vikram Bhat","url":"https://rguhs.academia.edu/VikramBhat"},"attachments":[{"id":86775848,"title":"","file_type":"pdf","scribd_thumbnail_url":"https://attachments.academia-assets.com/86775848/thumbnails/1.jpg","file_name":"j.amjoto.2008.07.00520220531-1-1ymvdua.pdf","download_url":"https://www.academia.edu/attachments/86775848/download_file","bulk_download_file_name":"Clinicopathological_review_of_tubercular.pdf","bulk_download_url":"https://d1wqtxts1xzle7.cloudfront.net/86775848/j.amjoto.2008.07.00520220531-1-1ymvdua-libre.pdf?1654008317=\u0026response-content-disposition=attachment%3B+filename%3DClinicopathological_review_of_tubercular.pdf\u0026Expires=1743215040\u0026Signature=S7gFociP22ze6ZRTuQG-k~lcFvZiH2u9AHKsJw~1r9tlMdCfxEMVQ2V~J2W80IoRgPBlsx~mGlEcK8bMlwi4IMPtCl7zajV~O~~kB5awNixVW-Mtgn3YZAHG9fmlW2PNJZ2oTw5FgdJ7SXocETKxJIeyyo~6rDYdvHUpCjLodiMPvE89pJQ72TZnfq4ZEt9hDgbkc5c55wyycj50VH1k3uwJ1Dw6RzO51rdlC-cLa1oBwqPqIrqiI2t~YX2ynYgnuJoQRxx3Me190NLukVacRkCuC7ECc2vyB~WcH9qDGXHN~0yVcS0XvZHWyEbuQsAg6JMusf2nP3-wNMU~udA~8A__\u0026Key-Pair-Id=APKAJLOHF5GGSLRBV4ZA"}],"research_interests":[{"id":9815,"name":"Developing Countries","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Developing_Countries"},{"id":22506,"name":"Adolescent","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Adolescent"},{"id":37826,"name":"Biopsy","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Biopsy"},{"id":133057,"name":"Young Adult","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Young_Adult"},{"id":151448,"name":"American","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/American"},{"id":162159,"name":"Differential Diagnosis","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Differential_Diagnosis"},{"id":244814,"name":"Clinical Sciences","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Clinical_Sciences"},{"id":289271,"name":"Aged","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Aged"},{"id":413192,"name":"Sex Factors","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Sex_Factors"},{"id":469105,"name":"Retrospective Studies","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Retrospective_Studies"},{"id":546419,"name":"Age Factors","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Age_Factors"},{"id":897823,"name":"Elsevier","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Elsevier"},{"id":911627,"name":"Pulmonary Tuberculosis","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Pulmonary_Tuberculosis"},{"id":3270781,"name":"Hoarseness","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Hoarseness"}],"urls":[]}, dispatcherData: dispatcherData }); $(this).data('initialized', true); } }); $a.trackClickSource(".js-work-strip-work-link", "profile_work_strip") if (false) { Aedu.setUpFigureCarousel('profile-work-80372104-figures'); } }); </script> <div class="js-work-strip profile--work_container" data-work-id="53935562"><div class="profile--work_thumbnail hidden-xs"><a class="js-work-strip-work-link" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-thumbnail" href="https://www.academia.edu/53935562/Effect_of_Epidermal_Growth_Factor_with_Silastic_Scaffold_on_Tympanic_Membrane_Perforations_of_Chronic_Otitis_Media"><img alt="Research paper thumbnail of Effect of Epidermal Growth Factor with Silastic Scaffold on Tympanic Membrane Perforations of Chronic Otitis Media" class="work-thumbnail" src="https://attachments.academia-assets.com/70541516/thumbnails/1.jpg" /></a></div><div class="wp-workCard wp-workCard_itemContainer"><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--title"><a class="js-work-strip-work-link text-gray-darker" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-title" href="https://www.academia.edu/53935562/Effect_of_Epidermal_Growth_Factor_with_Silastic_Scaffold_on_Tympanic_Membrane_Perforations_of_Chronic_Otitis_Media">Effect of Epidermal Growth Factor with Silastic Scaffold on Tympanic Membrane Perforations of Chronic Otitis Media</a></div><div class="wp-workCard_item"><span>Annals of Otology and Neurotology</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item"><span class="js-work-more-abstract-truncated">Aims The burden of chronic otitis media continues to be high, especially in developing countries....</span><a class="js-work-more-abstract" data-broccoli-component="work_strip.more_abstract" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-more-abstract" href="javascript:;"><span> more </span><span><i class="fa fa-caret-down"></i></span></a><span class="js-work-more-abstract-untruncated hidden">Aims The burden of chronic otitis media continues to be high, especially in developing countries.

Methods: Randomized control trial was conducted to compare the effects of topical nasal steroid spray with curettage adenoidectomy in chronic adenoiditis. Post intervention, patients were followed up for 6 months. Results: Out of 103 patients, 51 were subjected to adenoidectomy and 52 to medical treatment. At the end of 6 months, 49 (Negative rank score) patients of surgical group and 48 (Negative rank score) patients of medical group showed statistically significant improvement (p<.001) in symptoms and regression of adenoid size. There was no statistically significant difference between groups with respect to recurrent cold, running nose, epistaxis and ear symptoms (p>.05). Conclusion: Topical nasal steroid spray can be used as an alternative treatment in chronic adenoiditis when surgery is contraindicated.

Hence, we innovated an inexpensive device named Eustachian barotubometer. Materials and Methods A prospective case–control study was performed on mucosal type of chronic otitis media and traumatic tympanic perforation (100 cases each). Eustachian tube function was assessed by the Eustachian barotubometer (forced and physiological opening) and nasopharyngoscopy. Results Eustachian tube dysfunction was found to be five times higher in cases than controls. Both forced opening function and physiological opening function were poorer in cases than controls. However, the difference was statistically significant only in physiological opening function (p = 0.003).

The patterns presented here depict the vast number of logical possibilities wherein the authenticity of these tests can be checked and the source of errors identified.","owner":{"id":35247631,"first_name":"Vikram","middle_initials":null,"last_name":"Bhat","page_name":"VikramBhat","domain_name":"rguhs","created_at":"2015-09-24T10:03:29.677-07:00","display_name":"Vikram Bhat","url":"https://rguhs.academia.edu/VikramBhat"},"attachments":[],"research_interests":[{"id":62112,"name":"Prospective studies","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Prospective_studies"},{"id":991233,"name":"Bone Conduction","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Bone_Conduction"},{"id":1034181,"name":"Cross Sectional Studies","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Cross_Sectional_Studies"},{"id":1318932,"name":"Predictive value of tests","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Predictive_value_of_tests"},{"id":2463800,"name":"Severity of Illness Index","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Severity_of_Illness_Index"}],"urls":[]}, dispatcherData: dispatcherData }); $(this).data('initialized', true); } }); $a.trackClickSource(".js-work-strip-work-link", "profile_work_strip") if (false) { Aedu.setUpFigureCarousel('profile-work-53935554-figures'); } }); </script> <div class="js-work-strip profile--work_container" data-work-id="53935553"><div class="profile--work_thumbnail hidden-xs"><a class="js-work-strip-work-link" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-thumbnail" rel="nofollow" href="https://www.academia.edu/53935553/Bilateral_atticoantral_chronic_suppurative_otitis_media_presenting_as_bilateral_cutaneous_mastoid_fistulas"><img alt="Research paper thumbnail of Bilateral atticoantral chronic suppurative otitis media presenting as bilateral cutaneous mastoid fistulas" class="work-thumbnail" src="https://a.academia-assets.com/images/blank-paper.jpg" /></a></div><div class="wp-workCard wp-workCard_itemContainer"><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--title">Bilateral atticoantral chronic suppurative otitis media presenting as bilateral cutaneous mastoid fistulas</div><div class="wp-workCard_item"><span>Ear Nose Throat Journal</span><span>, Oct 1, 2009</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item"><span class="js-work-more-abstract-truncated">Postauricular cutaneous mastoid fistula secondary to chronic suppurative otitis media (CSOM) is a...</span><a class="js-work-more-abstract" data-broccoli-component="work_strip.more_abstract" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-more-abstract" href="javascript:;"><span> more </span><span><i class="fa fa-caret-down"></i></span></a><span class="js-work-more-abstract-untruncated hidden">Postauricular cutaneous mastoid fistula secondary to chronic suppurative otitis media (CSOM) is an unusual complication.

Poor immunization coverage, lack of ADS, antibiotic resistance are the main reasons for re-emergence of diphtheria.","owner":{"id":35247631,"first_name":"Vikram","middle_initials":null,"last_name":"Bhat","page_name":"VikramBhat","domain_name":"rguhs","created_at":"2015-09-24T10:03:29.677-07:00","display_name":"Vikram Bhat","url":"https://rguhs.academia.edu/VikramBhat"},"attachments":[],"research_interests":[{"id":131233,"name":"Indian","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Indian"}],"urls":[]}, dispatcherData: dispatcherData }); $(this).data('initialized', true); } }); $a.trackClickSource(".js-work-strip-work-link", "profile_work_strip") if (false) { Aedu.setUpFigureCarousel('profile-work-53935549-figures'); } }); </script> <div class="js-work-strip profile--work_container" data-work-id="53935548"><div class="profile--work_thumbnail hidden-xs"><a class="js-work-strip-work-link" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-thumbnail" rel="nofollow" href="https://www.academia.edu/53935548/Sublabial_approach_to_sinonasal_juvenile_ossifying_fibroma"><img alt="Research paper thumbnail of Sublabial approach to sinonasal juvenile ossifying fibroma" class="work-thumbnail" src="https://a.academia-assets.com/images/blank-paper.jpg" /></a></div><div class="wp-workCard wp-workCard_itemContainer"><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--title">Sublabial approach to sinonasal juvenile ossifying fibroma</div><div class="wp-workCard_item"><span>International Journal of Pediatric Otorhinolaryngology</span><span>, 2002</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item"><span class="js-work-more-abstract-truncated">Juvenile ossifying fibroma is a rare, unusual fibro-osseous benign tumor of the craniofacial regi...</span><a class="js-work-more-abstract" data-broccoli-component="work_strip.more_abstract" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-more-abstract" href="javascript:;"><span> more </span><span><i class="fa fa-caret-down"></i></span></a><span class="js-work-more-abstract-untruncated hidden">Juvenile ossifying fibroma is a rare, unusual fibro-osseous benign tumor of the craniofacial region.
