Surgical management of Puberphonia:
When all the conservative methods fail then surgery will have to be resorted to. Isshiki type III relaxation thyroplasty has shown promise in managing these patients. This surgical procedure lowered the pitch of voice in these patients by shortening the length of the vocal folds. In the classic Isshiki type III thyroplasty 2 – 3 mm of vertical strips of cartilage were excised on each side of midline of thyroid cartilage. This procedure caused retrusion of the middle portion of the thyroid cartilage causing a reduction in the length of the vocal fold

Can Tympanic membrane perforation may occur with valsalva maneuver ?
Click here to comment
Tympanic membrane perforation may occur when ear pressures are excessive, including valsalva maneuver associated with active labor and vaginal delivery. A pressure differential across the eardrum of about 5 psi can cause rupture; the increased intraabdominal pressure spikes repeatedly manifested by “pushing” during second-stage labor easily approach (and may exceed) this level

ENT QUIZ ROUND 3 :Answers
First Two correct responses:(Total 106 responses till date )
DR.SUNEEL B.ALLAMPALLEWAR,NANDED
Dr VAISHALI SHAH,VADODARA
Question on Ear-
1]“Leaky integrator” helps to explain
A]Tullio phenomenon
B]Alexander’s Law
C]Coriolis phenomenon
D]Ewald’s Law
Question on Nose-
2]Regarding the nasal septum,the following statement is untrue-
A]the vomer is always in the midline
B]septoplasty is the most cost-effective method to control idiopathic epistaxis
C]the results of septoplasty are always consistent with the surgical correction
D]nasal packing helps to prevent haematoma formation and resorption of
the nasal septum
Question on Throat-
3]Pick out the correct statement-
A]the palatine tonsils have both afferent and efferent pathways
B]tonsillectomy is not prophylactic for rheumatic heart disease
C]secondary haemorrhage is the most common complication of tonsillectomy
D]laser and cold steel give similar results in tonsillectomy
1-B:
"Leaky integrator" refers to the VOR,which tends to always correct the gaze towards the centre in the event of a vestibular lesion,and thus explains Alexander's 3 laws.
2-C:
It has been proved beyond doubt that the final results of septoplasty are often unsatisfactory and not as expected from the surgical correction.
3-B:
Tonsillectomy does not offer any protection against rheumatic heart disease as the latter is an immune-complex reaction resulting from streptococcal sore throat,which is not common any more.Even in the preantibiotic era,removal of the tonsils was not advocated as a means to protect against RHD.

Dr Sonali Pandit:effect of stem cells on sensorineural hearing loss
I wish to share my achievement with our ENT colleagues.
I am Dr Sonali Pandit, an ENT surgeon currently working in Fortis Hiranandani Hospital Mumbai. I have worked extensively on effect of stem cells on sensorineural hearing loss. My study has been recently published in "Stem Cells". It has generated a lot of interest worldwide as this holds a lot of promise to the treatment of SN hearing loss in childhood as well as presbycusis. This research has been conducted at the prestigious Garvan Institute of Medical Research, Sydney, Australia

What to do when relatives ask the doctor to stop treatment of a critically ill patient?
QUESTION—What should the hospital / doctors do when the attendants of an unconscious patient with tracheostomy tube, IV lines, Ryle’s tube and indwelling catheter demand that all these be removed at their own risk and responsibility?
ANSWER—
1—A doctor’s duty is to save, not to take life. Taking life is homicide. Removal of these gadgets will be tantamount to an attempt to take life which also is a criminal act.
2—A doctor is supposed to give or withhold or withdraw or change treatment as per principles of medicine and not as per the orders of a layman or even the patient himself. A doctor who acts otherwise will be guilty of misconduct / negligence.
3—If the act of removing the appliances is done by the doctors or the hospital staff, the risk and responsibility are to be faced by the person doing the act. The relatives cannot be made responsible for the acts of the hospital staff.
4—Even if the relatives make a written request to the hospital to withdraw treatment / appliances, such written request has no meaning in law. Consent for treatment or its stoppage has to come from the patient or his authorised representative.
5—If the authorised representative makes a written request to the doctors to stop treatment when the result of stopping treatment might result in death, the doctors should not act upon the request because euthanasia is not allowed by law. In such a situation, the hospital should contact its advocate for necessary guidance.

MMR Vaccine -Autism Link Fraud
The MMR vaccine controversy refers to claims that autism spectrum disorders can be caused by the MMR vaccine, an immunization against measles, mumps and rubella.
Claims of a connection between the vaccine and autism were raised in a 1998 paper in The Lancet, a respected British medical journal. Investigation by Sunday Times journalist Brian Deer discovered that the lead author of the article, Andrew Wakefield, had multiple undeclared conflicts of interest, had manipulated evidence,and had broken other ethical codes. The Lancet paper was retracted, and Wakefield was found guilty by the General Medical Council of serious professional misconduct in May 2010 and was struck off the Medical Register, meaning he could no longer practice as a doctor in the UK. The research was declared fraudulent in 2011 by the BMJ.
