The effects of diuretics on nasal transmucosal potential difference.

The effects of application of frusemide, amiloride and bumetanide on nasal transmucosal potential difference (NTPD), at rest and during exercise, were studied in 8 normal subjects. In a double-blind placebo controlled study, 8 volunteers had NTPD recorded at 4-min intervals during 12-min periods of rest, before and after treatment, during 12 min of exercise, and recovery. Application of placebo, frusemide and bumetanide did not significantly alter NTPD at rest. Amiloride caused a significant reduction (P less than 0.025). During exercise there was a significant rise in NTPD with placebo (P less than 0.05), frusemide (P less than 0.05) and amiloride (P less than 0.05). There was no increase in NTPD during exercise with bumetanide.

Young's procedure in the treatment of epistaxis.

Intractable epistaxis associated with septal perforation is a difficult problem to treat, particularly if nose-picking appears to be associated. Two such cases are presented in which Young's procedure of nasal closure was used to prevent epistaxis. Although the procedure was fully successful in only one patient, we feel the procedure has a part to play in the management of such cases of epistaxis.

Acute mastoid abscess and cholesteatoma.

A 10-year review of acute mastoid abscess treated surgically in Belfast revealed a total of 24 cases, 12 of which were found to have an underlying cholesteatoma. The surgical management of these 12 cases is outlined but despite a desire to maintain an intact canal wall, 9 of them to date have ended up with an open cavity. The danger of conservative management and the possible association between acute mastoid abscess and cholesteatoma, especially in developed countries, is stressed.
