This document defines medical abbreviations related to eyes, ears, nose, and throat. It provides explanations for abbreviations including PE tube, which is a small tube placed in a child's eardrum to drain fluid and equalize pressure in the middle ear; EENT, which stands for eyes, ears, nose, and throat; and OM, which is an abbreviation for otitis media, commonly known as a middle ear infection that is frequently seen in children. The document defines several other common medical abbreviations as well.
How do our ears work
The three main parts of our ears are the outer, middle, and inner ear. The outer ear collects sound waves and channels them through the ear canal to the eardrum. The eardrum connects to three tiny bones in the middle ear that transmit vibrations to the inner ear. The inner ear contains fluid-filled semicircular canals and the cochlea, which sends sound messages through the auditory nerve to the brain for interpretation. Common ear problems include infections caused by germs entering the ear through the Eustachian tube, resulting in pain, fever, discharge, or hearing loss.
Abbreviations of the Ear and Eye
This document defines and describes common abbreviations and terms used in ophthalmology and otolaryngology. It explains pressure equalizing tubes (PE tubes) which are surgically implanted to drain ear fluid, and the eye, ear, nose and throat medical specialty (EENT). Additional terms defined include bone conduction (BC), otitis media (middle ear infection), emmetropia (normal vision), extropia (outward eye turn), left eye (OS), extraocular movements (EOM), and visual acuity (sharpness of vision).

It defines abbreviations and terms used for structures and processes of the eye, ear, nose and throat, including the pressure equalizing tube, bone conduction of sound, otitis media or middle ear infection, visual acuity testing, and extraocular movements of the eyes.
Clinical Approach and Investigations of Ear Discharge
This document provides guidance on evaluating a patient presenting with ear discharge or other ear-related symptoms. Key details to obtain from the patient include the duration and nature of any discharge, associated symptoms like pain or hearing loss, past ear infections or surgeries, and relevant medical history. On examination, the external ear canal, eardrum, surrounding skin, lymph nodes and bones should be inspected for signs of infection, inflammation or other abnormalities. Testing such as audiometry, microscopy of any discharge, and imaging studies may help identify the cause, such as chronic infection, neoplasm or CSF leak. Appropriate treatment depends on the diagnosis.

M. Altman Presentation Ch. 7 Respiratory System Drugs
This document summarizes information about several drugs that are commonly prescribed for respiratory issues. It provides details on the generic and brand names, uses, and mechanisms of action for nasal decongestant Afrin (oxymetazoline), antihistamine Allegra (fexofenadine), and corticosteroid nasal spray Flonase (fluticasone). Each drug is described as treating specific respiratory symptoms such as congestion, sneezing, or allergies by shrinking blood vessels, reducing inflammation, or blocking histamine receptors. Common directions and duration of effects are also noted.
Ear barotrauma causes, symptoms and treatment
Ear barotrauma is discomfort or damage to the ear caused by pressure differences between the inside and outside of the eardrum. It occurs when the Eustachian tube becomes blocked, preventing equalization of pressure changes that happen with altitude changes like flying or scuba diving. Symptoms include ear pain, fullness, bleeding, and hearing loss. Treatment involves relieving nasal congestion to open the Eustachian tube through decongestants, yawning, chewing gum, or ear tubes inserted during surgery for chronic cases. Preventive measures consist of descending slowly, breathing exercises, and avoiding earplugs during pressure changes.
Sleep apena and snoring
Snoring occurs when the muscles in the back of the throat relax during sleep, causing vibration from breathing through a partially obstructed airway. It can be primary without sleep apnea, or complicated with sleep apnea. Sleep apnea is caused by complete cessation of breathing during sleep and includes obstructive, central, and mixed types. Obstructive sleep apnea is caused by physical obstruction of the airways, while central sleep apnea the brain fails to signal breathing. Symptoms include daytime sleepiness, fatigue, and memory loss. Polysomnography is the gold standard for diagnosis, and treatment options range from lifestyle changes to oral devices, CPAP machines, and surgery to open the airway.
Otitis Media.pptx
In this presentation there is complete content regarding its causes, pathophysiology, clinical manifestations, diagnostic evaluations and managements that can be done.
First of all as we know that otitis media is a disease condition related to ear infection and inflammations.
Special senses
The ear is divided into three parts - the outer, middle, and inner ear. The outer ear collects sound waves and funnels them through the ear canal to the middle ear, which contains three small bones that vibrate the inner ear. The inner ear contains the cochlea, which has tiny hair cells that change the vibrations into electrical signals sent to the brain. Ear tubes are small tubes inserted into the eardrum to drain fluid and prevent infections by allowing air into the middle ear. The document also defines several eye and ear-related medical terms.
Ear barotrauma causes, symptoms and treatment
Ear barotrauma is discomfort or damage to the ear caused by pressure differences between the inside and outside of the eardrum. It occurs when the Eustachian tube, which regulates pressure in the middle ear, becomes blocked. This causes pain and fullness in the ear. Symptoms include ear pain, bleeding, dizziness, and hearing loss. Treatment involves relieving nasal congestion to open the Eustachian tube with decongestants or nasal sprays. Surgery may be needed for chronic cases to insert ear tubes. Prevention includes breathing exercises and slowly changing altitudes when flying or diving.
