Cerumen
The yellow or brown waxy secretions produced by vestigial apocrine sweat glands in the external ear canal.
Ear Diseases
Pathological processes of the ear, the hearing, and the equilibrium system of the body.
Ear Canal
The narrow passage way that conducts the sound collected by the EAR AURICLE to the TYMPANIC MEMBRANE.
Otitis Externa
Inflammation of the OUTER EAR including the external EAR CANAL, cartilages of the auricle (EAR CARTILAGE), and the TYMPANIC MEMBRANE.
Fecal Impaction
Formation of a firm impassable mass of stool in the RECTUM or distal COLON.
Thinking
Mental activity, not predominantly perceptual, by which one apprehends some aspect of an object or situation based on past learning and experience.
Ear
The hearing and equilibrium system of the body. It consists of three parts: the EXTERNAL EAR, the MIDDLE EAR, and the INNER EAR. Sound waves are transmitted through this organ where vibration is transduced to nerve signals that pass through the ACOUSTIC NERVE to the CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM. The inner ear also contains the vestibular organ that maintains equilibrium by transducing signals to the VESTIBULAR NERVE.
Vertigo
An illusion of movement, either of the external world revolving around the individual or of the individual revolving in space. Vertigo may be associated with disorders of the inner ear (EAR, INNER); VESTIBULAR NERVE; BRAINSTEM; or CEREBRAL CORTEX. Lesions in the TEMPORAL LOBE and PARIETAL LOBE may be associated with FOCAL SEIZURES that may feature vertigo as an ictal manifestation. (From Adams et al., Principles of Neurology, 6th ed, pp300-1)
Earache
Pain in the ear.
Academic Medical Centers
Medical complexes consisting of medical school, hospitals, clinics, libraries, administrative facilities, etc.

Study of lipid in the ear canal in canine otitis externa with Malassezia pachydermatis. (1/33)

An epidemiological investigation of 120 canine otitis externa cases in 1,370 dogs was done on the incidence rate, ear pinna shapes, breeds and their relationships. Eighty-five cases (12.6%) in 672 dogs with pendulous ears and 35 cases (5.0%) in 698 dogs with erect ears had otitis externa, and the difference between them was significant (P<0.05). Ninety-five auditory cerumen specimens were cultured for Malassezia pachydermatis (M. pachydermatis) and analyzed for concentrations of major fatty acids. Although rates of cases positive for M. pachydermatis in both ear pinna shapes were almost the same, i.e. 55.2% in the pendulous group and 53.6% in the erect group, the average total fatty acid level of the pendulous ear group was significantly (P<0.05) higher than that in the erect ear group after dismissing extraordinary levels in the Siberian husky. Isolated M. pachydermatis strains were examined for the effects of fatty acid supplementation on their growth. The majority of the strains utilized fatty acids and grew faster in fatty acid supplemented broth. These results suggest that M. pachydermatis, the predominant causative agent of canine otitis externa, prefers the auditory canal of dogs with lipid-rich earwax and grows fast, but growth strongly depends upon the canine breed.  (+info)

Attachment of Malassezia pachydermatis to the ear dermal cells in canine otitis externa. (2/33)

To investigate the predominance of Malassezia pachydermatis (M. pachydermatis) as a causative agent of canine otitis externa, ear cerumen samples were observed for adhesion of M. pachydermatis to the cornified epithelial cells by light and electron microscopes. The yeasts appeared not to adhere to the cornified epithelial cells directly, but they seemed to exist in the proximity of the epithelial cells with an electron opaque halo-like space around them. Polysaccharide and lipid staining techniques were conducted to identify the substances existing in that space. Lipid substances, not saccharides, were observed around the yeasts and the cornified epithelial cells. These results suggested that in the canine ear canal malassezia yeast attachment to the cornified epithelial cells is mediated by lipids.  (+info)

A quasi-randomised controlled trial of water as a quick softening agent of persistent earwax in general practice. (3/33)

BACKGROUND: Earwax is a common problem in general practice. The incidence of complaints owing to earwax in general practice in the Netherlands is 39.3 per 1000 patients. AIM: To determine the feasibility of a strategy using water as a quick dispersant for persistent earwax, compared with the usual strategy using oil as a dispersant for three days in a general practice setting. DESIGN OF STUDY: Practice based, prospective controlled intervention study. SETTING: Forty-two patients (59 ears) in four general practices in the Netherlands. METHOD: Patients with persistent earwax were randomised into an intervention group and a control group. For patients in the intervention group, water drops at body temperature were dropped into the impacted ear and the auditory meatus was blocked with a wet wad of cotton. After the patient had waited for 15 minutes in the waiting room a series of attempts at syringing was completed. Patients in the control group received the usual strategy and were instructed to soften the earwax with oil each night before sleeping and to block the auditory meatus with a wad of cotton, for three days. They were asked to come back after three days for the second attempt of syringing. For both strategies the mean number of syringing attempts (and 95% confidence interval) was calculated and compared by testing the difference between the means using a t-test for independent samples. All ears in which the wax was still persistent after another five syringing attempts were given the value of 6 in the calculations. RESULTS: The mean number of syringing attempts needed per patient in the intervention group was 3.0 (95% CI = 2.4 to 3.6) and for the control group, the mean was 2.4 (95% CI = 1.7 to 3.1). The difference between means (0.6, 95% CI = 0.3 to 1.5) was not statistically significant (P = 0.18). CONCLUSION: A patient with persistent earwax can stay in the waiting room following the initial series of five attempts at syringing, with water instilled in the ear canal. After 15 minutes, the earwax is removed as easily as in the usual strategy using oil instilled for three days. The strategy using water as a dispersant for persistent earwax is quick and more convenient for the patient.  (+info)

Effectiveness of ear syringing in general practice: a randomised controlled trial and patients' experiences. (4/33)

BACKGROUND: Ear syringing is a common procedure performed for a variety of symptoms in primary care. Reports of its effectiveness vary considerably and no randomised controlled trials (RCTs) have been performed. AIM: To estimate the effect of ear syringing on hearing thresholds and on symptoms leading to ear syringing in general practice. DESIGN OF STUDY: Randomised single-blind controlled trial. Before-and-after self-assessments of symptoms. SETTING: Patients from three general practices in the Bristol area attending twice-weekly clinics dedicated to ear syringing over a 12-week period. METHOD: Patients were randomly assigned to have their hearing tested before and after ear syringing, or twice before ear syringing. Changes in hearing threshold were measured by pure tone audiometry (PTA). All patients completed sef-assessment forms of symptoms using Likert scales before, and one week after, ear syringing. RESULTS: Hearing threshold improved by 10 dB or more in 34% (95% confidence interval [CI] = 21% to 47%) of the intervention group and 1.6% of control group (number needed to treat = 3.1, 95% CI = 2.2 to 5.2, P<0.001). The levels of improvement in the intervention group ranged between 15 dB and 36 dB. The symptoms that most commonly improved included hearing on the phone, pain, a feeling of blocked ears, and hearing one-to-one. There was a strong relationship between the change thresholds, as measure using PTA, and self-reports of hearing improvement. Secondary analysis was unable to identify predictors of objectively measured improvement. CONCLUSION: Ear syringing improved hearing threshold in a substantial proportion of patients. An even larger proportion reported an improvement in symptoms. It was not possible to predict which patients would benefit.  (+info)

Does earwax lose its pathogens on your auriscope overnight? (5/33)

OBJECTIVES: To describe the organisms cultured from general practitioners' auriscope earpieces; and to explore general practitioners' perceptions of the possibility of cross infection from contaminated auriscope earpieces and of how their auriscope earpieces are cleaned. DESIGN: Microbiological survey of auriscope earpieces in two general practices and a semistructured questionnaire sent to 105 general practitioners. SETTING: General practitioners served by one district general hospital microbiology laboratory in the north of England. RESULTS: Organisms were cultured from 41 (93%) of 44 auriscope earpieces, of which 14 (32%) carried potential pathogens; four (9%) were heavily contaminated. Of the 85 (81%) general practitioners who responded, 72 (85%) believed that contaminated auriscope earpieces could cause serious infection, 66 (78%) did not clean earpieces between patients, and 70 (82%) thought that patients would mind if they knew that dirty earpieces were used. CONCLUSIONS: Almost a third of auriscope earpieces were contaminated by pathogenic bacteria. Although general practitioners suspected this, most did not ensure that a clean earpiece was used for each patient.  (+info)

Itching in the ear canal due to hypocerumenosis. An effective method of treatment. (6/33)

Itching of the ear canal, with oozing, edema and cracking of the skin due to absence or insufficiency of wax was treated in more than 200 cases by instructing the patient to massage the ear canal with a cotton tip applicator soaked with a hydrocortisone preparation and inserted a half to three-quarters of an inch beyond the meatus. Some 95 per cent of patients reported good to excellent results in three to four days after the beginning of treatment. In the remainder results were fair.  (+info)

Impacted cerumen: composition, production, epidemiology and management. (7/33)

In the UK, some 2.3 million people suffer cerumen ('ear wax') problems serious enough to warrant management, with approximately 4 million ears syringed annually. Impacted cerumen is a major cause of primary care consultation, and a common comorbidity in ENT patients, the elderly, infirm and people with mental retardation. Despite this, the physiology, clinical significance and management implications of excessive and impacted cerumen remain poorly characterized. There are no well-designed, large, placebo-controlled, double-blind studies comparing treatments, and accordingly, the evidence surrounding the management of impacted cerumen is inconsistent, allowing few conclusions. The causes and management of impacted cerumen require further investigation. Physicians are supposed to follow the edicts and principles of evidence-based medicine and clinical governance. Currently, in patients with impacted cerumen, the lack of evidence makes this impossible.  (+info)

Predictors of hearing loss in school entrants in a developing country. (8/33)

BACKGROUND: Hearing loss is a prevalent and significant disability that impairs functional development and educational attainment of school children in developing countries. Lack of a simple and practical screening protocol often deters routine and systematic hearing screening at school entry. AIM: To identify predictors of hearing loss for a practical screening model in school-aged children. SETTINGS AND DESIGN: Community-based, retrospective case-control study of school entrants in an inner city. METHODS: Results from the audiologic and non-audiologic examination of 50 hearing impaired children in randomly selected mainstream schools were compared with those of a control group of 150 normal hearing children, matched for age and sex from the same population. The non-audiologic evaluation consisted of medical history, general physical examination, anthropometry, motor skills, intelligence and visual acuity while the audiologic assessment consisted of otoscopy, audiometry and tympanometry. STATISTICAL ANALYSIS: Multiple logistic regression analysis of significant variables derived from univariate analysis incorporating student t-test and chi-square. RESULTS: Besides parental literacy (OR:0.3; 95% CI:0.16-0.68), non-audiologic variables showed no association with hearing loss. In contrast, most audiologic indicators, enlarged nasal turbinate (OR:3.3; 95% CI:0.98-11.31), debris or foreign bodies in the ear canal (OR:5.4; 95% CI:1.0-36.03), impacted cerumen (OR:6.2; 95% CI:2.12-14.33), dull tympanic membrane (OR:2.2; 95% CI:1.10-4.46), perforated ear drum (OR:24.3; 95% CI:2.93-1100.17) and otitis media with effusion OME (OR:14.2; 95% CI:6.22-33.09), were associated with hearing loss. However, only parental literacy (OR:0.3; 95% CI:0.16-0.69), impacted cerumen (OR:4.0; 95% CI:1.66-9.43) and OME (OR:11.0; 95% CI:4.74-25.62) emerged as predictors. CONCLUSION: Selective screening based on the identification of impacted cerumen and OME will facilitate the detection of a significant proportion of hearing impaired school entrants.  (+info)

A 57 years old male patient who wore Hearing Aid unilaterally in left ear referred to our clinic to get Hearing Aid for his right ear [1,2]. In Otoscopy TM in right ear was normal but in left ear External ear Canal was full of wax (Cerumen) and Otoscopy was not possible [3]. Cerumen in left ear was probably produced because of wearing Hearing Aid with occluded ear mold [4]. Tympanometry was performed before referring patient for removing Cerumen. The result was Type A in right ear and Type B with ECV=5cc in left ear [2,5]. If Type B were false, ECV should be low but high ECV in left ear indicated perforation. Since large probe cuffs may increase ECV falsely Tympanometry was done again by changing rubber probe cuff for a better diagnosis.Result was not change and ECV with new cuff was still 5cc. After removing Cerumen by suction method vast central perforation was revealed in Otoscopy of left ear [6].. ...

Dienekes Anthropology Blog: Earwax type determined by single letter of DNADienekes Anthropology Blog: Earwax type determined by single letter of DNA
Human earwax consists of wet and dry types. Dry earwax is frequent in East Asians, whereas wet earwax is common in other populations. Here we show that a SNP, 538G right arrow A (rs17822931), in the ABCC11 gene is responsible for determination of earwax type. The AA genotype corresponds to dry earwax, and GA and GG to wet type. A 27-bp deletion in ABCC11 exon 29 was also found in a few individuals of Asian ancestry. A functional assay demonstrated that cells with allele A show a lower excretory activity for cGMP than those with allele G. The allele A frequency shows a north-south and east-west downward geographical gradient; worldwide, it is highest in Chinese and Koreans, and a common dry-type haplotype is retained among various ethnic populations. These suggest that the allele A arose in northeast Asia and thereafter spread through the world. The 538G right arrow A SNP is the first example of DNA polymorphism determining a visible genetic trait ...

If you want to get technical, the name for earwax is cerumen. Earwax is healthy and serves important purposes including keeping our ear canals lubricated. A lack of earwax could cause the ears to become dry and itchy. It also acts as a protective barrier to keep anything, from dust to critters, from getting too close to the tympanic membrane, also called the eardrum. The ear canal is made up of migratory skin cells. These skin cells grow in such a way that the dead skin...

Ear canal - WikipediaEar canal - Wikipedia
The human ear canal is divided into two parts. The elastic cartilage part forms the outer third of the canal; its anterior and lower wall are cartilaginous, whereas its superior and back wall are fibrous. The cartilage is the continuation of the cartilage framework of pinna. The cartilaginous portion of the ear canal contains small hairs and specialized sweat glands, called apocrine glands, which produce cerumen (ear wax). The bony part forms the inner two thirds. The bony part is much shorter in children and is only a ring (annulus tympanicus) in the newborn. The layer of epithelium encompassing the bony portion of the ear canal is much thinner and therefore, more sensitive in comparison to the cartilaginous portion. Size and shape of the canal vary among individuals. The canal is approximately 2.5 centimetres (1 in) long and 0.7 centimetres (0.28 in) in diameter.[2] It has a sigmoid form and runs from behind and above downward and forward. On the cross-section, it is of oval shape. These are ...

Carefully remove all cerumen and debris to allow acetic acid to contact infected surfaces directly. To promote continuous contact, insert a wick of cotton saturated with acetic acid into the ear canal; the wick may also be saturated after insertion. Instruct the patient to keep the wick in for at least 24 hours and to keep it moist by adding 3 to 5 drops of acetic acid every 4 to 6 hours. The wick may be removed after 24 hours but the patient should continue to instill 5 drops of acetic acid 3 or 4 times daily thereafter, for as long as indicated. In pediatric patients, 3 to 4 drops may be sufficient due to the smaller capacity of the ear canal.. ...

In Case your Doctor Forgot to Mention… | Audiology of Nassau CountyIn Case your Doctor Forgot to Mention… | Audiology of Nassau County
Here are a few basics when it comes to taking care of your ears:. 1) DO NOT USE Q-TIPS IN YOUR EARS! The best thing you can do with your Q-tips is to break them in half and toss them in the trash! Ear wax is a good thing. EAR WAX IS NOT DIRT! Ear wax is anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, a natural bug repellent and it is there for a reason! Q-tip users who complain about itchy ears have itchy ears BECAUSE of Q-tip use. Scrubbing the natural oils from the ears depletes the canals of essential moisture causing itching and dryness. Stop the Q-tips, stop the itch. Remember nothing smaller than your elbow should ever go in the ear canal!. 2) Protect your ears from noise ALL THE TIME! Both young and old should take care to protect the delicate hearing mechanism. Noise exposure damages the fragile hair cells that reside in the cochlea that are responsible for detecting sound. Damage to the hair cells can result in hearing loss. This can happen after one encounter with something extremely loud or over time ...

Where the earache is very severe a five to ten per cent. solution of cocaine administered by the aid of the camels-hair pencil brush, will temporarily at least, give quick relief. When the earache is continuous the subject should consult a skillful aurist. Failure to do this not unfrequently has resulted in permanent deafness.. Occasionally earache is caused by the formation of a hard mass of wax at the bottom of the outer passage. This accumulation will also produce deafness. It is too dangerous to attempt to dislodge this hardened cerumen, ones self. The subject should ...

Otologic diseases are often difficult to diagnose accurately for primary care providers. Deep learning methods have been applied with great success in many areas of medicine, often outperforming well trained human observers. The aim of this work was to develop and evaluate an automatic software prototype to identify otologic abnormalities using a deep convolutional neural network. A database of 734 unique otoscopic images of various ear pathologies, including 63 cerumen impactions, 120 tympanostomy tubes, and 346 normal tympanic membranes were acquired. 80% of the images were used for the training of a convolutional neural network and the remaining 20% were used for algorithm validation. Image augmentation was employed on the training dataset to increase the number of training images. The general network architecture consisted of three convolutional layers plus batch normalization and dropout layers to avoid over fitting. The validation based on 45 datasets not used for model training revealed that the

Scientists in the past have used this waxy matrix as an aging tool, similar to counting tree rings. Then, the question arose: Could whale earwax chronologically archive chemicals, such as man-made pollutants? said Usenko, assistant professor of environmental science in Baylors College of Arts and Sciences. Over the past two years, Trumble and Usenko developed analytical methods capable of answering that very question. The type of information we can derive from these earplugs along with our methodology is exceptionally valuable. There is nothing like it. It really should be classified as a new field of research, Usenko said. Historically, scientists have used whale blubber to determine hormone and chemical exposure, but that method only provides information over short, finite periods of time and can be difficult to obtain and cost-prohibitive. Whales are free-ranging animals and you cant get these types of profiles or information on free-ranging animals in any part of the world. This has ...

Dont Pin That: Hydrogen Peroxide to Diagnose and Cure Ear InfectionsDont Pin That: Hydrogen Peroxide to Diagnose and Cure Ear Infections
But how about the second claim? Will it at least treat an infection if you have one? Maybe, but its not likely. Results are mixed as to if this works or not. Its important to realize that there are various causes for ear infections, from viruses like those that cause colds, to allergies, not to mention bacterial infections which require antibiotics (peroxide is NOT recommended for killing bacteria, as it doesnt kill everything and can actually cause scar tissue to form, something you dont want in your ears). What it is quite good for though, is helping with ear wax removal - in fact ear wax drops are typically nothing more than mineral oil and peroxide. So all-in-all, you can put peroxide in your ears, but its not going to let you know if you have an infection, and its most likely not going to cure anything. Its not uncommon for a lot of earaches to only last a few days on their own, so if you find relief using this trick (or warmed oil, which is also a common ear ache treatment) then go ...

Docusate Sodium - Pharmaceutical Business reviewDocusate Sodium - Pharmaceutical Business review
Historically, docusate sodium has been used as a pharmaceutical grade excipient in a variety of drug formulations where it has proven to be effective as a dispersing agent for tablet manufacture, liquid or gel suspensions and as a dispersant and disintegrant for effervescing tablets. It has been used as an emulsifier for creams and gels, and as an emulsifier and softener for ear wax removal compounds. In addition due to its excellent wetting properties it is also used in pre-operative colon cleaning preparations.. Docusate sodium is also a powerful solubilizing agent, meeting the pharmaceutical need to aid the formulation of poorly soluble active ingredients. Many new APIs (reported to be 40-70%) have a poor aqueous solubility leading to reduced bioavailability (Hauss, D.J. Oral lipid based formulations, Advanced Drug Delivery Reviews, 59:667-676(2007))..

masterwordsmith-unplugged: The Mystery of Waxmasterwordsmith-unplugged: The Mystery of Wax
For most people, cleaning your inner ear in the shower should be more than adequate when it comes to removing excess wax. The best thing is just to let the water go in your ear (make sure the water is warm, as cold and hot water can cause you to have vertigo), and [then tilt your head to the side] and dump it out, says Brett Levine, MD, an ENT in Torrance, California. If earwax build-up is an issue for you, Dr. Levine recommends using an over-the-counter earwax remover that, when applied as directed, will help soften the wax so it washes out easier. You can also try tilting your head to one side and adding a few drops of mineral, baby or olive oil to your ear while in the shower. Wait 1 to 2 seconds for it to dislodge and dissolve the wax, and then tilt your head in the opposite direction, so it can run out of the ear. If neither of these methods work, make an appointment to see a doctor. Sometimes the wax is just very hard and the drops dont help make it soft. An ENT doctor can [better] see ...

Macular DegenerationMacular Degeneration
In the dry type of macular degeneration, the deterioration of the retina is due in part to the formation of small yellow deposits, called drusen, under the macula. This leads to thinning and drying out of the macula, which causes it to lose its function. The amount of central vision loss is directly related to the location and amount of retinal thinning caused by the drusen.. This form of macular degeneration is much more common and tends to progress slower than the wet type. However, a certain percentage of the dry type of macular degeneration turns to wet with the passage of time. There is no known cure for the dry type of macular degeneration.. Patient may see: Center vision may appear blurry because parts of the macula have begun to die, leaving blank spots in vision. Straight lines may look wavy. Side or peripheral vision is rarely affected.. ...

This is a sign that the filters have become clogged with ear wax and need to be changed. If your hearing care professional has not instructed you on how to change them and didnt give you replacements, you will have to schedule an appointment for them to change the filters for you. Otherwise, be very careful while replacing the filters yourself. You have to do it in a very specific way or your hearing aid will not function as its meant to and it will not let you hear more clearly.
