In some patients, an outwardly bulging, thin atrophic area or "herniation" of the tympanic membrane will be encountered. These “pulsion hernias” are asymptomatic and do not seem to interfere in any way with normal epithelial migration along the surface of the tympanic membrane.
There appear to be two prerequisites necessary for the development of a pulsion hernia.
The first is a preexisting defect in the fibrous middle layer of the pars tensa of the tympanic membrane.
The second is the presence of positive pressure within the middle ear, which forces the thinned portion of the tympanic membrane laterally into the canal (the pulsion).
If the fibrous middle layer of the pars tensa were intact, the tympanic membrane would be unable to herniated laterally to any significant extent.
The thinness of the pars tensa of the tympanic membrane over the pulsion pocket suggests that the herniation of the tympanic membrane occurred in an area where the fibrous middle layer of membrane has disappeared (e.g., the site of a previous, healed perforation or retraction pocket), leaving an area where the membrane consists of only two layers (a dimeric membrane).

- more than 11% Indian women consume tobacco products.
Schneiderian papillomas
The ectodermally derived ciliated respiratory mucosa that lines the sinonasal tract, so-called Schneiderian membrane, gives rise to three morphologically distinct papillomas. These are referred to individually as the fungiform(BOTTOM L), inverted(TOP), and oncocytic papillomas(BOTTOM R) or, collectively, as Schneiderian papillomas.
These benign lesions were named in honor of C. Victor Schneider who, in the 1600s, demonstrated that nasal mucosa produces catarrh and not CSF and identified its origin from the ectoderm.
Unlike the rest of the upper respiratory tract mucosa, the sinonasal mucosa is ectodermal in origin, derived originally from the stomodeum (ie, primitive mouth) in the fourth week of gestation. Sinonasal mucosa is continuous with the mucosal lining of the nasopharynx, which is of endodermal origin but is of identical histology.

Primary tuberculosis of submandibular salivary gland.

Department of General Surgery, Fr. Muller Medical College Hospital, Kankanady, Mangalore (D.K.), Karnataka, India.
Abstract
Tuberculosis of the submandibular salivary gland is a rare condition and only a few cases have been reported in literature. Tubercular sialadenitis is most frequently seen in immunosuppressed patients. Diagnosis of this disease is difficult. Although fine needle aspiration cytology is useful in diagnosis, excisional biopsy is often required. Polymerase chain reaction for mycobacterium tuberculosis is a reliable diagnostic tool, and if available, it should be performed before surgical intervention to enable differential diagnosis of a salivary gland tumor. We report two cases of the submandibular salivary gland tuberculosis from South India (Mangalore located in the coastal belt of Karnataka) that proved diagnostically challenging. Both patients responded well to antitubercular therapy and surgery was avoided.

Propranolol as First-line Treatment of Head and Neck Hemangiomas
Propranolol as First-line Treatment of Head and Neck Hemangiomas.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES:
To report the efficacy of propranolol as first-line treatment of head and neck hemangiomas in children and to present an optimized protocol for treating hemangiomas.
DESIGN:
Multi-institutional retrospective study.
SETTING:
Two tertiary care referral pediatric centers.
PATIENTS:
Thirty-nine children with head and neck infantile hemangiomas were treated.
MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES:
Review of clinical records.
RESULTS:
Propranolol was the sole treatment in 60% of patients and was started at a mean age of 4.1 months (age range, 1-11 months) for early interventions among 33 of 39 patients. Propranolol therapy resulted in lightening and reduction of hemangiomas at 37 of 39 locations within 2 days to 2 weeks. One subglottic hemangioma and 1 nasal tip hemangioma did not respond or showed only a partial response; in these patients, propranolol therapy was delayed and followed other treatment failures. After successful therapeutic regression, 6 recurrences occurred; when reintroduced, propranolol was again effective. Recurrences were avoided by prolonged treatment. Twenty-six hemangiomas occurring at locations for which corticosteroid treatment previously would not have been initiated (nose, lips, and parotid area) unless a complication had occurred were treated with propranolol and were rapidly controlled. The mean duration of propranolol therapy was 8.5 months. No instances of β-blocker discontinuation because of complications occurred, but propranolol was substituted by acebutolol in 5 patients because of trouble sleeping.
CONCLUSIONS:
Propranolol is an effective treatment of head and neck infantile hemangiomas, especially when started early within the rapid growth phase, and is first-line treatment of orbit and larynx hemangiomas. The efficacy and tolerability of propranolol led us to treat some hemangiomas in patients whom we previously would have observed rather than subject to corticosteroid therapy. Relapse was avoided if treatment was prolonged after theoretical involution (age 12 months). Questions remain about optimal dosing and age at treatment cessation.

Eosinophilic oesophagitis (EO)
Eosinophilic oesophagitis (EO) is an increasingly recognised chronic, relapsing inflammatory condition of the oesophagus. There has been a mini-epidemic of EO in the last decade. The incidence of this condition is higher in children and is commoner in males. There is either a family or personal history of atopic conditions present in a significant number of patients and can also be familial in up to 10%. The classical symptom in an adult is chronic, intermittent solid-food dysphagia and food impaction, often necessitating emergency endoscopic removal. Despite the history of dysphagia for a number of years, patients remain well with no weight loss, which can mislead clinicians to diagnose a functional problem with a resulting delay in the diagnosis. There are various endoscopic features of EO; commonly multiple rings and linear furrows, though these can be subtle and the mucosa may be macroscopically normal. The hallmark of this condition is the histological presence of 15 eosinophils/high power field (HPF) in the oesophageal mucosa. Therapeutic options include avoidance of dietary allergens, topical or systemic steroids, Montelukast, Mepolizumab (anti-IL-5 antibody) and endoscopic dilation of strictures unresponsive to medical therapy.

Does thyroxine suppression therapy help to rationalize surgery in benign euthyroid nodules?

Does thyroxine suppression therapy help to rationalize surgery in benign euthyroid nodules?

Department of Nuclear Medicine, Tata Main Hospital, Jamshedpur - 831 001, India.
Abstract
BACKGROUND:
Nodular thyroid disease is a common endocrine problem. Most thyroid nodules are benign hyperplastic lesions, but 5-20% may be a true neoplasm. It is important to differentiate a benign from a malignant nodule early as the approach to treatment in the two is radically different. Early institution of medical management in a benign nodule may obviate the need for surgery.
PURPOSE OF THE STUDY:
The present work aims to study the efficacy of thyroxine suppression in the management of benign thyroid nodules.
MATERIALS AND METHODS:
A prospective study on patients presenting with thyroid nodule was undertaken. The diagnostic work-up included a clinical evaluation, thyroid function tests, thyroid scintigraphy and fine needle aspiration cytology. Based on the investigations, patients were segregated in Group A (toxic nodular goiter), Group B (benign euthyroid nodule) and Group C (malignant nodule). Group A patients were managed with antithyroid drugs and radioiodine and Group C patients were managed surgically. Group B patients were put on thyroxine suppression. Patients who failed to show reduction in size of the nodule at 18 months were treated surgically.
CONCLUSION:
The response rate of benign euthyroid nodule to thyroxine suppression was 76% in the present study.

Lymph node levels of the neck
Lymph node levels of the neck
Lymph nodes in the neck have been divided into 7 levels, generally for the purpose of squamous cell carcinoma staging. This is however not all inclusive as the parotid nodes and retropharyngeal space nodes are not included in this system.
Level I : below myohyoid to hyoid bone anteriorly
Level Ia : submental
Level Ib : submandibular
Level II : jugulodigastric (base of skull to hyoid)
Level III : deep cervical (hyoid to cricoid)
Level IV : Virchow (cricoid to clavicle)
Level Va : accessory spinal (posterior triangle) : superior half
Level Vb : accessory spinal (posterior triangle) : inferior half
Level VI : prelaryngeal / pretracheal / Delphian node
