PE tubes are small tubes surgically placed in a child's ear to drain infection caused by recurrent ear infections or fluid buildup causing hearing loss. EENT refers to the eye, ear, nose and throat. BC refers to bone conduction, which causes one's voice to sound different when recorded and played back due to the skull conducting lower frequencies better through bone than air. OM refers to otitis media, commonly known as middle ear infection, often preceded by an upper respiratory infection. VA refers to visual acuity, the measurement of sharpness of one's vision.

PE tubes are small hollow tubes inserted into the eardrum under anesthesia to drain fluid and decrease ear infections. Bone conduction transmits sound through the skull bones, causing one's voice to sound different when recorded due to amplification of lower frequencies. Otitis media is inflammation of the middle ear between the eardrum and inner ear, including the Eustachian tube, and is one of two categories that can cause earaches.
Abbreviations
This document provides definitions for common medical abbreviations used in eye, ear, nose, and throat examinations and treatments. Some abbreviations defined include PE tube for pressure equalizing tube, an ear tube to prevent middle ear infections, EENT for eye, ear, nose, and throat, BC for bone conduction referring to sound transmission through skull vibrations, and OM for otitis media meaning middle ear infection. Other abbreviations defined are EM for emmetropia describing normal eye refraction, XT for exotropia meaning outward eye deviation, OS for left eye, EOM for extraocular movement referring to eye movement, and VA for visual acuity indicating vision clarity.

Meniere’s disease
Meniere's disease is a disorder of the inner ear that causes episodes of vertigo, hearing loss, and tinnitus. It was first described by Prosper Meniere in 1861. The cause is unknown but risk factors include metabolic, toxic, allergic, emotional, and circulatory disorders. Symptoms include vertigo, tinnitus, hearing loss, fullness, nausea, increased heart rate, and sweating. Diagnosis involves history, exams of the ear, and tests like audiograms and ENG. Treatment aims to control vertigo and tinnitus and preserve hearing using medications, diet changes, exercises, and sometimes surgery. Complications include permanent hearing or balance issues, anxiety, dehydration
Phoniatrics musa
Phoniatrics is the branch of medicine concerned with communication disorders related to phonation, speech, and language. It deals with the science of voice production, speech articulation using the mouth, tongue, and lips, and the four modalities of human language: comprehension, speaking, reading, and writing. Communication disorders can involve defects in phonation (voice), resonance (in the pharynx, mouth, and nose), speech articulation, or language development and use. Phoniatrists work to diagnose and treat these disorders through medical treatment, surgery, voice therapy and other methods.
Hearing impairment and rehabilitation
Patients can experience different types of hearing loss, including conductive, sensorineural, and mixed. A history and physical exam including tuning fork tests help distinguish the type of loss. Common etiologies include otosclerosis, presbycusis, noise exposure, and Meniere's disease. Formal audiologic testing is needed to diagnose the condition and guide management, which may include hearing aids, surgery, or lifestyle modifications.

This document summarizes various disorders that can cause conductive, sensorineural, and mixed hearing losses. It describes pathologies of the outer, middle, and inner ear that result in these types of hearing loss. Treatment options are discussed for each type and include medical, surgical, and amplification approaches. Disorders covered include otitis externa, tympanic membrane perforations, otosclerosis, Meniere's disease, noise-induced hearing loss, and sudden sensorineural hearing loss.
Hearing impairment ppt
The ear consists of the external, middle, and inner ear. The inner ear contains the cochlea, which is spiral-shaped and divided into three fluid-filled sections. Within the cochlea lies the organ of Corti, which transforms sound waves into neural signals. These signals travel through the cochlear nerve and into the brainstem and auditory cortex for processing. Hearing impairment can result from various causes that can be identified on imaging studies, including otitis media, cholesteatoma, fractures of the petrous bone, acoustic neuromas, and more. Treatment options depend on the underlying cause and may include surgery or use of a cochlear implant.

This document describes an experiment where 15 populations of E. coli were subjected to 150 cycles of freeze-thaw-growth (FTG) to study evolutionary adaptation. Three populations were founded from the ancestor of a long-term evolution experiment, while 12 were founded from clones that previously evolved at 37C for 20,000 generations. Competition experiments showed both groups adapted to better survive freezing and thawing, and recover growth more rapidly afterwards, with 60-90% increased fitness relative to their progenitors. Future work aims to identify genetic mutations responsible.

Tobacco
Tobacco is a legal but addictive drug in Spain. Smoking one pack per day can cost over €1,150 per year. It is difficult for smokers to quit due to psychological addiction, though nicotine replacements can help. Many teenagers smoke because of peer pressure from friends, so it is important to say "no" if offered a cigarette to avoid manipulation or harder drugs in the future. Smoking causes both short-term effects like increased blood pressure and long-term health issues including lung disease, heart disease, and various cancers.

Wellness Chapter 3
Stress can be either positive (eustress) or negative (distress) and comes from various sources that change throughout life. The body reacts to stress through a general adaptation syndrome involving alarm, resistance, and exhaustion stages. Managing stress involves maintaining adaptation energy reserves through healthy behaviors like proper diet, exercise, sleep, attitude, and time management to prevent reaching the exhaustion stage. Relaxation techniques and finding humor can also help cope with stress.

Hidden hunger
Hidden hunger refers to deficiencies in essential vitamins and minerals that negatively impact health. It is a problem globally but especially in developing countries where diets lack variety. Fighting hidden hunger is important because it can increase mortality and limit economic growth and development. The key players in hidden hunger are vitamin A, zinc, iron, iodine, and folic acid. Deficiencies of these micronutrients have widespread health impacts such as increased risk of death, impaired cognitive and physical development, and reduced immunity. Prevalence of deficiencies is high in many countries according to national surveys, though coverage of interventions to reduce deficiencies is increasing.

This document defines common medical abbreviations used in otolaryngology (EENT), optometry, and ophthalmology. Some key abbreviations are:
PE tube - A small tube placed in a child's ear to drain infection and fluid.
EENT - The medical specialty focusing on diagnosis and treatment of ear, eye, nose, throat, head, and neck disorders.
OS and OD - Latin abbreviations for left eye (oculus sinister) and right eye (oculus dexter) respectively.
VA - Visual acuity, a test measuring sharpness of vision using a Snellen chart from 20 feet away.
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.
Special senses chapter 13
