🐻 Fun Fact! Did you know that the ear is home to over 40 muscles? These tiny muscles help us move our ears, rotating them towards a sound source or shifting them into different positions. They also play a role in controlling our balance and stability. Without these muscles, we'd have a harder time focusing on sounds around us! 🎧 #otolaryngology

Kara Gavin write up of Frank et al., JAMA Health Forum 2024"She notes that surgical training programs, which include general surgery and specialties that include surgical training -- such as gynecology, urology, otolaryngology, neurosurgery, plastic surgery and orthopedic surgery -- have the most work to do."

While I was working on the article about Mary Despina Lekas, I noticed that the Triological Society didn't have an article, so now they do:

I went with Dr. C. Michael Haben, M.D., M.Sc. for my procedure.He is Fellowship Trained in Laryngology and holds American Board Certification in #Otolaryngology.
You can find more information about his practice on his website: https://professionalvoice.org.
At the time, the total cost of the surgery, including hotel and hospital fees, was approximately $7,000. The specific procedure I underwent is known as the triple.

I suppose I should do one of those #introduction things.
I'm a #neurotologist--a surgeon of the lateral skull base and ear. I like all things #auditory, #vestibular, and #neuroradiology. I care a lot about my residents, and I'm currently an #otolaryngology Associate #ProgramDirector in #SanAntonio. I wear a uniform, but I'm not weird about it. I love #AcademicMedicine, #science, and #research, and I taught myself #Rstats. 1/3

Chronic #rhinitis in adults is like having your nostrils pinched closed for weeks at a time. You can't sleep, your mouth dries out from mouth-breathing... it's awful. It can lead to sinus & ear infection, polyps and maybe eventually a need for sinus surgery. It's often downplayed by the #medical community because it's not life threatening like heart disease.
Worse if a patient has high eye pressure (IOP) and high #glaucoma risk -- they can't use meds like #nasal steroids or decongestants, and many antihistamines as they can all increase IOP (via anticholinergic effects).
So, #MedMastodon, what are some good approaches for this?
This paper gives a good overview.
