Otitis externa, also known as swimmer's ear, is an infection of the outer ear canal caused by bacteria or fungi. It commonly affects children ages 7-12 and the elderly. Symptoms include ear pain, itching, discharge and temporary hearing loss. Diagnosis is made through physical exam, microscopy and culture of discharge. Treatment focuses on removing debris, using antibiotic/antifungal ear drops, and dry ear precautions to prevent recurrence, especially in high-risk groups like diabetics who are prone to the more serious malignant otitis externa infection.
Nosebleeds are very common in young children, affecting most at some time or another. From the outset, it is important to be aware that nosebleeds will often settle down on their own, sometimes requiring medical treatment, but that major underlying causes (blood clotting problems or abnormalities in the nose) are very rare.

Otitis media is a group of inflammatory diseases of the middle ear. The two main types are acute otitis media (AOM) and otitis media with effusion (OME). AOM is an infection of rapid onset that usually presents with ear pain.

Lung Cancer: Artificial Intelligence, Synergetics, Complex System Analysis, S...Oleg Kshivets
RESULTS: Overall life span (LS) was 2252.1±1742.5 days and cumulative 5-year survival (5YS) reached 73.2%, 10 years – 64.8%, 20 years – 42.5%. 513 LCP lived more than 5 years (LS=3124.6±1525.6 days), 148 LCP – more than 10 years (LS=5054.4±1504.1 days).199 LCP died because of LC (LS=562.7±374.5 days). 5YS of LCP after bi/lobectomies was significantly superior in comparison with LCP after pneumonectomies (78.1% vs.63.7%, P=0.00001 by log-rank test). AT significantly improved 5YS (66.3% vs. 34.8%) (P=0.00000 by log-rank test) only for LCP with N1-2. Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: phase transition (PT) early-invasive LC in terms of synergetics, PT N0—N12, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells- CC and blood cells subpopulations), G1-3, histology, glucose, AT, blood cell circuit, prothrombin index, heparin tolerance, recalcification time (P=0.000-0.038). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and PT early-invasive LC (rank=1), PT N0—N12 (rank=2), thrombocytes/CC (3), erythrocytes/CC (4), eosinophils/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), segmented neutrophils/CC (8), stick neutrophils/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10); leucocytes/CC (11). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (area under ROC curve=1.0; error=0.0).
CONCLUSIONS: 5YS of LCP after radical procedures significantly depended on: 1) PT early-invasive cancer; 2) PT N0--N12; 3) cell ratio factors; 4) blood cell circuit; 5) biochemical factors; 6) hemostasis system; 7) AT; 8) LC characteristics; 9) LC cell dynamics; 10) surgery type: lobectomy/pneumonectomy; 11) anthropometric data. Optimal diagnosis and treatment strategies for LC are: 1) screening and early detection of LC; 2) availability of experienced thoracic surgeons because of complexity of radical procedures; 3) aggressive en block surgery and adequate lymph node dissection for completeness; 4) precise prediction; 5) adjuvant chemoimmunoradiotherapy for LCP with unfavorable prognosis.
2. OTITIS EXTERNA
• It is an infection of the outer opening of the
ear and ear canal.
• Also referred to as swimmer’s ear or External
otitis. It results from the exposure of moisture.
• It occurs most commonly among children
between the ages of seven and twelve and
among the elderly.
3.
4. CLASSIFICATION
Acute: Lasts less
than 6 weeks.
• Typically due to
bacterial infection
Chronic: Lasts more
than 3 months.
• Due to Allergies or
autoimmune
diseases.
5. ETIOLOGY
• Swimming in the contaminated water.
• Objects in ear( cotton swabs or other small
objects to clear the ear canal, hearing aid, ear
plugs).
• Infections: Staphylococcus aerus, P.
Auruginosa, Candida albicans.
• Other trauma
8. CLINICAL MENIFESTATIONS
• Red, swollen ear canal
• Four discharge from ear.
• Itchiness.
• Fever
• Ear pain( Pain worsened when external ear is
touched).
• Temporary conductive loss.
• Severe cases : Ear canal narrowed through
exudates.
9. DIAGNOSTIC EVALUATION
• History collection
• Physical examination: Redness in the ear,
fullness of ear.
• Lab test: Gram staining and culture of
discharge.
• Imaging test: CT scan, MRI of head,
radionuclide scan.
10. MANGEMENT
• The goal of treatment is to stop the infection and allow
your ear canal to heal.
• Avoid getting affected ear wet.
• Remove any discharge/debris by gently swabbing outer ear
with cotton wool.
• Remove anything from affected ear which may cause an
allergic reaction such as hearing aids,earplugs,earrings.
• Debridement: the infected debris should be gently and
thoroughly removed from the canal with suction or dry
cotton swabs under adequate lighting
• Painkillers such as ibuprofen, Paracetamol.
• Burow’s solution: Mixture of aluminum sulphate and
acetic acid. It is used against the bacterial infection.
11. • Antibiotic +Corticosteroid eardrops is used.
Such as ciprofloxacin And hydrocortisone.
• Antifungal eardrops: Nystatin.
• Dry ear precautions (e.g. wearing shower cap,
avoiding swimming) are strongly advised for
both external otitis and fungal external otitis..
12. • Prevention: External otitis can be prevented
by applying a few drops of 1:1 mixture of
rubbing alcohol and vinegar just after the
swimming.
13. COMPLICATIONS
• Abscesses.
• Narrowing of ear canal
• Inflamed or perforated eardrum
• Cellulitis.
• Malignant otitis externa: Mostly occur with
person with diabetes mellitus.
14. MALIGNANT OTITIS EXTERNA
• Malignant otitis externa (MOE) also known as
necrotizing otitis externa , is an invasive
bacterial infection that involves the external
auditory canal and skull base.
• It is a complication of otitis externa that
occurs in immunocompromised patients.
• It is typically seen in elderly diabetic patients.
15. • Pseudomonas Auruginosa is causative in 95%
of cases.
• Other causative organisms such as S.aureus,
Proteus mirabilis, Klebsiella etc.
• It is treated with antipseudomonal antibiotics
• Fluoroquinolones are also given.

18. PREVENTION
• Keep ears dry
• Swim wisely
• Avoid putting foreign objects in ear
• Use caution after an ear surgery or
infection.
