RESUMO
Abstract Introduction: Canal wall down tympanomastoidectomy is commonly used to treat advanced chronic otitis media or cholesteatoma. The advantages of canal wall down mastoidectomy are excellent exposure for disease eradication and postoperative control of residual disease; its disadvantages include the accumulation of debris requiring life-long otological maintenance and cleaning, continuous ear drainage, fungal cavity infections, and the occurrence of dizziness and vertigo by changing temperature or pressure. Objective: To evaluate whether cavity-induced problems can be eliminated and patient comfort can be increased with mastoid cavity reconstruction. Methods: In total, 11 patients who underwent mastoid cavity reconstruction between March 2013 and June 2013 comprised the study group, and 11 patients who had dry, epithelialized CWD cavities were recruited as the control group. The study examined three parameters: epithelial migration, air caloric testing, and the Glasgow Benefit Inventory. Epithelial migration, air caloric testing, and the Glasgow Benefit Inventory were evaluated in the study and control groups. Results: The epithelial migration rate was significantly faster in study group (1.63 ± 0.5 mm/week) than control group (0.94 ± 0.37 mm/week) (p = 0.003, p < 0.05). The mean slow component velocity of nystagmus of the study group (13.33 ± 5.36°/s) was significantly lower when compared to control group (32.11 ± 9.12°/s) (p = 0.018). The overall the Glasgow Benefit Inventory score was −7.21, and the general subscale, physical and social health scores were −9.71, −21.09, and +20.35, respectively in the control group. These were +33.93, +35.59, +33.31, and +29.61, respectively in the study group. All but the social health score improved significantly (0.007, 0.008, 0.018, and 0.181, respectively). Conclusions: Cavity reconstruction improves epithelial migration, normalizes caloric responses and increases the quality of life. Thus, cavity rehabilitation eliminates open-cavity-induced problems by restoring the functional anatomy of the ear.
Resumo Introdução: A timpanomastoidectomia com a técnica Canal Wall Down, ou técnica aberta, é comumente utilizada para tratar otite média crônica avançada ou colesteatoma. As vantagens da mastoidectomia pela técnica aberta são uma excelente exposição para a erradicação da doença e controle pós-operatório da doença residual; suas desvantagens incluem o acúmulo de detritos que requerem manutenção e limpeza otológica ao longo da vida, drenagem contínua da orelha, infecções fúngicas na cavidade e a ocorrência de tonturas e vertigem com alterações de temperatura ou pressão. Objetivo: Avaliar se os problemas induzidos pela cavidade podem ser eliminados e o conforto do paciente aumentado com a reconstrução da cavidade mastoide. Método: No total, 11 pacientes submetidos à reconstrução da cavidade mastoide entre março de 2013 e junho de 2013 constituíram o grupo de estudo, e 11 pacientes com cavidades secas e epitelizadas, operadas pela técnica aberta, foram recrutados como grupo controle. O estudo analisou três parâmetros: migração epitelial, prova calórica com estimulação a ar e o questionário Glasgow Benefit Inventory. A migração epitelial, a prova calórica e o Glasgow Benefit Inventory foram avaliados nos grupos de estudo e controle. Resultados: A taxa de migração epitelial foi significativamente mais rápida no grupo de estudo (1,63 ± 0,5 mm/semana) do que no grupo controle (0,94 ± 0,37 mm/semana) (p = 0,003, p < 0,05). A velocidade média do componente lento do nistagmo no grupo de estudo (13,33 ± 5,36°/s) foi significativamente menor se comparada ao grupo controle (32,11 ± 9,12°/s) (p = 0,018). O escore global do Glasgow Benefit Inventory foi de -7,21 e os escores da subescala geral, saúde física e social foram -9,71, -21,09 e +20,35, respectivamente, no grupo controle. Esses escores foram +33,93, +35,59, +33,31 e +29,61, respectivamente, no grupo de estudo. Todos, exceto o escore de saúde social, melhoraram significativamente (0,007, 0,008, 0,018 e 0,181, respectivamente). Conclusões: A reconstrução da cavidade melhora a migração epitelial, normaliza as respostas da prova calórica e aumenta a qualidade de vida. Assim, a reabilitação da cavidade elimina os problemas induzidos por cavidades abertas ao restaurar a anatomia funcional da orelha.

OBJECTIVE: This study compared the results of the caloric test with those of the video head impulse test obtained during the same session and evaluated whether the former can be used to screen for non-acute vestibular dysfunction. METHODS: A total of 157 participants complaining of dizziness with vestibular characteristics of varying durations and clinical courses completed the caloric test and video head impulse test. RESULTS: Significantly more caloric test results than video head impulse test results were abnormal. CONCLUSIONS: The results of the caloric test and video head impulse test are distinct but complement each other. Within our sample, the caloric test was more sensitive for vestibular dysfunction. Therefore, the video head impulse test is not a suitable screening tool of the vestibular system in patients with chronic complaints.

La capacidad de compra de alimentos derivada del nivel socioeconómico influye en calidad y cantidad de la dieta, pudiendo originar alteraciones nutricionales. Se planteó evaluar la asociación de indicadores socioeconómicos y antropométricos con la adecuación dietaria en niños de una zona de pobreza. Se estudiaron 257 niños menores de 18 años, de una Parroquia de Valencia, 2004. Se determinó estrato socioeconómico (ESE)(Graffar-Méndez), adecuación dietaria (recordatorios 24h, n=97) e indicadores antropométricos: P/E, T/E, P/T, circunferencia brazo, área grasa y muscular, pliegue tricipital e Índice de Masa Corporal). Análisis estadístico por distribución de frecuencia, Chi cuadrado y Pearson. Predominaron varones, escolares, estratos IV y V y una familia por vivienda. Hubo 36,6% de déficit, normalidad en 54,8% y 8,6% de exceso nutricional. Las adecuaciones calórica y proteica fueron aceptables, pero excesiva para fibra, 41,2% de déficit calórico y 45,3% en proteínas, 58,3% de los normales y en exceso tenían aporte calórico deficiente, y los desnutridos 46,5%. El exceso en consumo de fibra (49%) fue independiente del estrato y estado nutricional. La adecuación de fibra se relacionó con ingesta calórica y proteica, edad, talla y área muscular pero no hubo entre adecuación calórica y proteínas con ESE. Se concluye que hubo asociación importante entre el consumo dietario y estado nutricional pero la asociación es menor con el ESE. La evidencia no relacionó las alteraciones encontradas con la situación de pobreza. La evaluación del consumo de alimentos fue útil para complementar la información antropométrica y sociodemográfica; considerando la sub o sobreestimación del dato dietario.
Food purchase capacity is related to socioeconomic level, and it influences dietary quality and quantity. Changes on diet may cause alterations of nutritional status. In order to evaluate the association between socioeconomic and anthropometrics indicators to dietary adequacy in children from a poverty area, 257 children and adolescents randomly selected, from Valencia, Venezuela (2004) were assessed. Socioeconomic status was determined(SES, Graffar-Méndez), dietary adequacy (24h recalls, n=97) and anthropometrical indicators (W/A, H/A, W/H, arm circumference, fat and muscular area, tricipital skinfold and BMI) were measured. Statistical Analysis by frequency distribution, Chi² test and Pearson correlation was performed. Boys, school children; families in poverty(IV and V stratum) and one family/home were highly prevalent. Nutritional diagnosis consisted of: 36.6% of deficit, 54.8% of normality and 8.6% of excess. Mean caloric and protein intake and adequacy were acceptable, but fiber adequacy was excessive. 41.2% of subjects had inadequate energy intake and 45.3% inadequate protein intake. Energy intake was deficient in 58.3% of normal subjects and also in those in excess, and in 46.5% of undernourished children, 52.1% of the undernourished children had excessive adequacy for fiber. There was association between fiber adequacy to energy and protein intake, age; height and muscular area, but not between energy and protein intake to socioeconomic condition. It is concluded that there was an important association between dietary intake and nutritional status but only a weak relation to SES. Evaluation of dietary intake and adequacy is useful to complement anthropometric and socioeconomic information; but care has to be taken for the possibility of under or overestimation of data reported by the interviewed.
