We have studied two different tracers in order to evaluate tubal mucociliary transport time: albumin typed with Technetium-99 and a saccharin solution. The procedure has been done in a group with normal ears and tubes, and in another one with chronic otitis media. Tubal transport time obtained is always longer with saccharin than with albumin between 21% and 66%.
Forty specimens of aural cholesteatoma have been studied histoenzymological techniques. Acid phosphatases were the most representatives.
32 cases of cancer of the mobile portion of the tongue are studied. Comments are made about its aetiology, diagnosis and results of different treatment techniques.
The anatomic proximity of the antral floor and superior alveolar processes favors the propagation of infections from teeth to neighboring structures, as was pointed out first by John Hunter. A radiologic and anatomic study was made of these anatomic relations and the bony substance between the alveolar ridge and maxillary sinus was measured. No firm criteria for normality could be established because of the variability of the maxillary sinus. Variations in environmental and developmental conditions easily modify its morphology.
