1.	Otitis Media 07/01/2005 - "The chart-review cost analysis showed that tympanostomy tube insertion is a cost-effective treatment for otitis media in children, and the telephone survey results showed that it improves quality of life for children and their parents or other caregivers." 10/01/1998 - "OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to analyze the outcome of children receiving tympanostomy tubes with respect to improvement in hearing and incidence of otitis media" 07/01/1997 - "A parallel randomized and nonrandomized trial which compares adenoidectomy versus medical treatment for children with recurrent otitis media [Paradise et al. Efficacy of adenoidectomy for recurrent otitis media in children previously treated with tympanostomy-tube placement" 03/22/2007 - "Long-term follow-up of these cohorts revealed that there was an approximately 10-50% vaccine efficacy against recurrent otitis media or for the prevention of tympanostomy tube placement" 07/01/2005 - "OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the efficacy of adenoidectomy in reducing the incidence of otitis media among children who are younger than 4 years and receive tympanostomy tubes" Order ALL the reference details at left...
2.	Otitis Media with Effusion 12/08/2000 - "Tympanostomy tubes are beneficial in chronic otitis media with effusion (OME), but of less value in recurrent AOM absent chronic OME" 04/01/1999 - "Patients with thick middle ear effusions and age younger than 3 years have a significantly greater incidence of early otorrhea after tympanostomy tube placement." 01/01/1992 - "The findings reveal that patients manifesting eustachian tube dysfunction after their first HBO treatment were at significantly greater risk toward developing symptoms of fullness and serous otitis media, often requiring tympanostomy tube placement" 05/01/2001 - "CONCLUSIONS: Laser-assisted tympanostomy appears to be an effective treatment for chronic otitis media with effusion in pediatric patients." 04/06/2001 - "CONCLUSIONS: The use of LTMF to create 2--3 weeks of middle ear ventilation in patients with chronic OME (middle ear effusion (MEE) for 3 months or greater) is effective in 66% of 95 (58%) of ears evaluable at 90 days follow-up" Order ALL the reference details at left...
3.	Infection 11/01/1997 - "We found a wide range of reported benefits as a result of grommet insertion; these include an improvement in hearing (92.1%), a reduced frequency of ear infections (74.1%), a reduction in postoperative GP visits (87%), less time missed from school (70.7%), as well as a variety of improvements in children's speech, education and general behaviour" 11/01/1988 - "If the infection can be eliminated using the methods described above, prevention of recurrence can be achieved by the following options: (1) prophylactic antimicrobial therapy; (2) removal of the tympanostomy tube; or (3) surgical repair of the tympanic membrane defect" 07/01/1976 - "The present study has confirmed the usefulness of middle-ear ventilation tubes, particularly in patients with recurrent middle-ear infections." 10/01/2007 - "We sought to examine the role of biofilm formation in chronic middle-ear ventilation tube infection" 03/01/2007 - "This early modulation might enhance middle ear drainage and middle ear concentrations of CDX when tympanostomy tube surgery is performed in patients with active OME and ETO, thus potentially reducing otorrhea and preventing or treating infection" Order ALL the reference details at left...
4.	Down Syndrome (Down's Syndrome) 08/05/1999 - "The present study was carried out to determine the efficacy of tympanostomy tube insertion in children with Down syndrome" 08/05/1999 - "CONCLUSION: The efficacy of the tympanostomy tube insertion for children with Down syndrome was much lower than in control children" 08/05/1999 - "Moreover, improvement in hearing acuity after the placement of tympanostomy tubes was not always achieved in children with Down syndrome" 08/05/1999 - "The children with Down syndrome had more frequent episodes of otorrhea from the tympanostomy tubes than the control children and antibiotic-resistant-bacteria were frequently isolated" 08/05/1999 - "PATIENTS AND METHODS: We studied 28 children (18 males and ten females) with Down syndrome and 28 age-matched control children who underwent tympanostomy tube insertion and were followed up for more than 2 years, up to 7 years of age or older" Order ALL the reference details at left...
5.	Nasal Obstruction 01/01/1981 - "Adenoidectomy was performed in connection with the first tubulation on the basis of concurrent symptoms of nasal obstruction, and resulted in a significant reduction in the need for repeated insertion of tympanostomy tubes in patients younger than eight years of age" 06/01/1980 - "Adenoidectomy performed at an early stage, and in the presence of nasal obstruction, resulted in a significant reduction in the need for re-insertion of tympanostomy tubes." 10/01/2005 - "OBJECTIVES: To investigate the effect of nasal obstruction surgery on eustachian tube function and middle ear ventilation" 11/01/1998 - "Adenoidectomy should be also considered when moderate to severe nasal obstruction is present or when repeat tympanostomy tube placement is needed" Order ALL the reference details at left...
