Eustachian tube

The CT scanner Depends upon several steps:- 1-The x-ray tube and detector transverse (scan) the object. 2-The radiation beam passes through the object and is attenuated. The intensity of radiation beam from x- ray tube and transmitted beam both are detected by suitable detectors. 3-The transmitted beam and the references beam are both converted into electric signals. 4-These output current signals are then converted into digital form by analog –to-digital converter. 5-The digital data are…

One major cause is linked to the Eustachian tube. The Eustachian tube is a tube that links the pharynx to the middle ear {5}. If the tube is too small or blocked, as it so commonly is in children, the balance of fluid and air in the middle ear may be altered. Once air makes its way through the middle ear and passes into the nearby cells, a vacuum will form if the air is not replaced in the eustachian tube {3}. Glue ear is often associated with having a cold or ear infection…

. The ear is made up of three parts: the outer, middle, and inner ear.The outer part of the ear collects sound. Sound travels through the auricle and the auditory canal, a short tube that ends at the eardrum. Sound entering the outer ear travels through the middle ear and causes the eardrum and ossicle in the middle ear to vibrate. As it travels, it amplifies and changes from air to liquid. When the stapes moves, it pushes the oval window, which then moves the cochlea. The cochlea takes the…

Whenever a child get colder, that is to say upper respiratory infection, extrusion in the throat causes a stoppage in the Eustachian tube, thereby holding back fluid inside the middle ear. Viruses and mostly bacteria could grow immensely in this fluid and make up pressure that my pushes against the ear drum. Pains, difficulty in hearing, plugged ears are then felts as results of…

Homeopathic Treatment for Ear Infections An ear infection is a clinical condition in which a bacterial or viral infection affects the middle ear, the air-filled space behind the eardrum housing the tiny vibrating bones of the ear. Ear infections, if not treated in time, can be painful because of inflammation and fluid build-up in the middle ear. Understanding Ear Infection Middle ear infection or Otitis Media is a very problem in USA. Although it can w affect anyone, the young children and…

patients are seen at pediatric offices and one of the most frequent reasons for prescribing antibiotics to children (Roland, 2010). The most common bacteria responsible for ear infections are Streptococcus pneumoniae. Otitis media occurs when the Eustachian tubes are swollen or blocked and fluid is trapped in the middle ear. This blockage happens because of allergies, colds, sinus infections, and cigarette smoke, infected or enlarged adenoids or in infants, drinking while laying down (Kivi and…

This condition is thought to be caused by the fluid levels and the combination of fluids in the canals of the inner ear. (*** 1) One of the main parts of the inner ear is the fluid-filled tubes called labyrinths. The labyrinths and the cochlear nerve in the skull help with the upright position of the body and help the person maintain balance. (*** 2) Although a lot is known about this disease the exact cause has yet to be discovered. (***…

This mostly happens because of inflammation of the mucous membranes in the nasopharynx, it can be caused by a viral urti,strep throat,and allergies. Because of the dysfunction of the eustachian tube the gas volume in the middle ear is trapped and parts of it are slowly taken by the surrounding tissues. Which then happens to negative pressure in the middle ear. As its typical symptoms overlap with other conditions such as acute external…

syndrome. Glue ear is caused by the ineffective drainage of the middle ear due to the narrow pathway in the eustachian tubes. The additional fluids prevent the ossicles from vibrating effectively, thereby causing restriction of sound vibrations to the inner ear (Sacks, Woods 2003). Individuals with Down Syndrome experience low muscle tone, which also affects the opening and closing of the eustachian tube. This can cause negative pressure to build up in the middle ear space, leading to fluid…

Cholesteatomatous otitis media is a special variety of chronic otitis media; it can be classified into several types: congenital, primary and secondary acquired, recurrent and residual types. The congenital cholesteatoma is a pearly white mass medial to an intact tympanic membrane with normal tympanic membrane, without any ear discharge or ear drum perforation or any otological procedure in the past [1]. Primary acquired cholesteatoma starts with an intact pars tensa and proceeds to the…
