Objective: Tinnitus is associated with various conditions such as presbycusis, infectious, autoimmune and many other diseases. Our study aims to identify an association between inflammatory markers and the presence of tinnitus or hearing loss (HL).Design: Exploratory study including a
In preliminary studies we have observed a massive microglial activation in the cochlear nucleus following acoustic trauma-induced tinnitus in rats, which suggests that inflammatory responses within the central auditory system may be involved in the development and maintenance of tinnitus. Recently,
BACKGROUND
Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor of the temporal bone is an unusual but distinct disease entity. The most common presenting symptoms are otalgia, otorrhea, hearing loss, facial palsy, and vertigo. We describe here what we believe to be the first reported case of a patient presenting
Tinnitus often results in severe psychological distress. The present study hypothesized that tinnitus acts as a chronic stressor and induces dysregulation of the production of cytokines. The gap pre‑pulse inhibition of acoustic startle paradigm was applied to test tinnitus‑like behavior in rats.
Effects of C-phycocyanin (C-PC), the active component of Spirulina platensis water extract on the expressions of N-methyl D-aspartate receptor subunit 2B (NR2B), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin-1β (IL-1β), and cyclooxygenase type 2 (COX-2) genes in the cochlea and inferior colliculus
OBJECTIVE
To describe an extensive pseudotumor as a complication of stapes surgery.
METHODS
Radiological workup and surgical exploration in a 38-year-old man suffering from postoperative hearing loss. The patient presented with tinnitus, inferior facial palsy, vertigo, and rapidly progressive
Acute binocular visual loss, photophobia, headache, and pulsatile tinnitus developed in a 51-year-old woman. Ophthalmologic examination showed bilateral optic disc edema with peripapillary nerve fiber layer hemorrhages. Lumbar puncture disclosed a monocytic pleocytosis. A diagnosis of
The causes of tinnitus can be grouped according to whether the noise is continuous or pulsatile, whether it is subjective or objective and whether there is a retrotympanic mass. Imaging algorithms can be based on these symptoms and signs. For patients with nonpulsatile tinnitus and a normal drum,
We report a case of a 32-year-old man who presented with subarachnoid hemorrhage. As revealed by lumbar puncture, the cerebrospinal fluid had low glucose, high protein levels, and pleocytosis with 5% of eosinophils. Cultures were negative. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and complement fixation
Memantine, a noncompetitive antagonist of the N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor, suppresses the release of excessive levels of glutamate that may induce neuronal excitation. Here we investigated the effects of memantine on salicylate-induced tinnitus model. The expressions of the
OBJECTIVE
Neuroinflammation is considered a novel mechanism for acute tinnitus. Here, we investigated the effects of a tumor necrosis factor (TNF) blocker on the gene expression of inflammatory-cytokine in the cochlea in a tinnitus animal model.
METHODS
Enbrel® (30 mg/kg, intraperitoneally (i.p.))
Tinnitus is the phantom perception of sounds occurring in the absence of an external auditory stimulus. Tinnitus: [1] effects 50 million individuals, [2] often results from acoustic trauma and, [3] is very often exacerbated under stressful conditions. Tinnitus may result from lesions occurring at
Tinnitus is the perception of sound with no external stimulus and idiopathic subjective tinnitus is the most common type in adults. Mean platelet volume (MPV) alterations were shown in some inflammatory diseases and were evaluated as a clinically useful marker. Our aim was to investigate MPV
OBJECTIVE
This study aimed to evaluate patients with tinnitus in terms of mean platelet volume and platelet distribution width, and to explore neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio and platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio, recently reported in the literature as being possible inflammation markers.
METHODS
This
OBJECTIVE
To determine the relationship between severe tinnitus and inflammation using the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio as a marker of stress.
METHODS
A total of 107 patients who had been suffering with severe tinnitus (tinnitus handicap inventory scale grades of 3-5) for at least 2 weeks were
