ototoxicity/edema

CONCLUSIONS In the mouse, when a tympanic perforation is present, gadoteridol does not seem to cause ototoxicity. Gadodiamide may cause mild ototoxicity other than toxicity to the outer hair cells of the cochlea. OBJECTIVE Endolymphatic hydrops have been visualized through intra-tympanic injection

Hypothesis: The ototoxic effects of aminoglycosides are well known. Gentamicin carries a substantial risk of hearing loss. Gentamicin is widely used to combat life-threatening infections, despite its ototoxic effects. Calcium dobesilate

To describe the human temporal bone pathology in two patients who incurred furosemide induced ototoxicity. 1) A 46-year-old woman in acute liver and renal failure treated with high doses of furosemide for anasarca who developed a rapidly progressive severe-to-profound asymmetric sensorineural

BACKGROUND Cisplatin is an antineoplastic agent widely used in the treatment of a variety of cancers. Ototoxicity is one of the main side-effects restricting the use of cisplatin. OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to investigate the protective efficacy of gallic acid, in biochemical,

Imatinib (Gleevec) is a biological agent that is approved for the treatment of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) as well as gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST). The most frequently seen adverse effects in patients treated with imatinib include superficial edema, muscle cramps, musculoskeletal pain,

The loop diuretics are drugs that increase the excretion of water and electrolytes in the urine by their action on the cells in the loop of Henle. Clinical reports of ototoxicity of these agents are reviewed, and the results of a number of studies in experimental animals are discussed. These drugs

The rat is an altricial animal which serves as a useful model for human auditory development. The purpose of the present study was to investigate the effects of furosemide on cochlear function and the stria vascularis ultrastructure at various postnatal ages. Rat pups anesthetized with ketamine

CONCLUSIONS Administration of diluted solutions of gadoteridol might cause considerably less toxic effects on cochlear outer hair cells (OHCs). OBJECTIVE Visualization of endolymphatic hydrops is done by intratympanic injection of gadolinium-based contrast agents (GBCAs) and three-dimensional

Sensorineural hearing loss is generally felt to be an untreatable medical condition. However, in some cases, prompt diagnosis and treatment of the underlying condition may reverse the deafness. This article summarizes various treatable forms of sensorineural hearing loss and provides illustrative

OBJECTIVE To assess Mimix hydroxyapatite cement for its applicability in canal wall reconstruction using the gerbil as a canal wall model. A case is presented to illustrate a novel technique of canal wall reconstruction using Mimix on the basis of the findings of our animal research. METHODS This

Molecular and cellular biology is the study of cellular ultrastructure and function. Current research in immune regulation, delineation of receptor control function (signal translation at the cellular level), and nucleic acid manipulation (genetic engineering) illustrates fundamental relationships

Streptomycin was injected subcutaneously into guinea pigs (n = 12) with unilateral endolymphatic hydrops. In the unoperated ears, sensory cells were degenerated at the basal ends of all cochleas and to varying extents in the vestibular sense organs. Hydropic ears, in contrast, showed greater

BACKGROUND In histologic studies, the volumetric status of the intralabyrinthine fluids is judged by the position of the endolymphatic membranes. Bulging of the membranes, commonly known as endolymphatic hydrops, is assumed to be caused by excess of endolymph. The opposite situation, retraction of
