Disease relevance of Ear Canal

 

High impact information on Ear Canal

  • Iontophoresis was performed in left ears of five rabbits after the external auditory canals were filled with a solution of water and gadopentetate dimeglumine of optimal concentration, and right ears were used as controls [6].
  • Since recent research has provided insight to the production of potent antimicrobial peptides from various surface epithelia, we wanted to investigate whether protection of the external auditory canal in part could be explained by the production of human beta-defensin-1 (HBD-1) [7].
  • CHL indicates disease in the external auditory canal, tympanic membrane, or middle ear; CT with thin bone algorithms is the best study [8].
  • 4. At low to moderate stimulus levels of 40-60 dB SPL, there was a near perfect, minute-by-minute covariation of the ear canal CDT amplitude and the BF threshold measured in the AVCN [9].
  • Response areas of multiunit clusters in the AVCN and DPOAEs in the ear canal were measured alternately in the adult gerbil during furosemide-induced changes of the endocochlear potential [9].

Biological context of Ear Canal

 

Anatomical context of Ear Canal

  • The sound radiated from the tympanic membrane was approximately 85 dB SPL at an umbo differential velocity of 1 mm/s for low frequencies in an open ear canal and about 10 dB higher for an occluded one; at higher frequencies (above 2 kHz) resonances of the canal determine the response [17].
  • OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the efficacy of 2 ceruminolytic products, Cerumenex Eardrops (Purdue Frederick Company, Norwalk, Conn) and Murine Ear Drops (Abbott Laboratories, Abbott Park, Ill), in subjects with partial or complete occlusion of the ear canal due to cerumen [18].
  • It possessed two regions: firstly the meatal plate, which produced the pars tensa-covering epithelium (zone 2) and most of the deep ear canal epithelium (zone 3), and secondly the fundal extension plate, which grew from that part of the fundus not forming the meatal plate [19].
  • An unusual case of calcium pyrophosphate arthropathy (pseudogout) involving the temporomandibular joint of a 53-year-old woman presented clinically as an ear canal tumor [20].
  • MATERIALS AND METHODS: Cochlear microphonics (CMs) recorded from one round window (RW) of fetal sheep in utero were obtained in three conditions: (1) head uncovered; (2) head covered with a neoprene hood; and (3) head covered with a neoprene hood fashioned with a hole that permitted the pinna and ear canal to be exposed [21].
