Eustachian tube dysfunction

Eustachian tube dysfunction is estimated to occur as a chronic condition in approximately 4% of adults worldwide, but it is an intermittent problem in an unknown higher percentage. The condition is multifactorial. In many cases, inflammation of the mucous membranes in and around the Eustachian tube produces obstruction. Uncoordinated movement of the muscles that open and close the tube may also play a role. Extrinsic factors such as excessive lymphoid tissue around the Eustachian tube opening may also be seen. If chronic Eustachian tube dysfunction remains untreated, it can lead to cholesteatoma and hearing loss.

Initial treatment targets the potential causes of mucosal inflammation, such as allergic rhinitis and acid reflux. This often includes topical or oral steroids, antihistamines, and acid-suppressant medications.

RHINOLOGY: 

The branch of science and medicine that deals with the physiology of nose, including the sinuses is termed as Rhinology.

With exact finding, most sinus and nasal conditions might be treated medicinally. Proper medication of patients who experience the ill effects of rehashed scenes of upper respiratory tract ailment, incorporating unfavorably susceptible or non-hypersensitive nasal aggravation (rhinitis), and sinus contaminations can bring about easing from symptoms. is termed as rhinology.

Interesting Facts About Nasal Treatments

• The world-famous physicians like Fabricius Hildanus, Paulus Aegineta and Claudius Galen also treated the polyps dexterously.
•  
• Egyptian physicians believed that a bad smelling nose confirmed presence of polyps.
•  
• Celsus said, “Large polyps dangled into the pharynx and on cold and damp days strangulate a man.”
• A crude nasal speculum was used by Hippocrates, Haly Abbas- an eminent Islamic medicine expert, and the Indian Ayurvedic physicians in bygone eras. In fact, these speculums were an improvisation of the instruments employed for rectal and gynecological examinations.
•  
• Fabricius Hildanus invented an aural speculum, which resembles the modern speculum.
• Alfred Kirstein pioneered use of artificial light for nasal examination. He invented first headlight that inspired the modern headlights.
•  
• In Greece, tampons and nasal packs soaked in copper salts and honey were used to prevent reoccurrence of polyps.
•  
• The Roman physicians used turpentine and other irritating substances, calf tallow, goose fat and oily products to treat the polyps.

The nasal cycle

The nasal cycle (NC) is the spontaneous congestion and decongestion of the nasal mucosa during the day, where congestion of one side is accompanied by reciprocal decongestion of the contralateral side. It is based on the dilation/constriction of the venous cavernous tissue in the submucosa of the turbinates and septum, but also of the ethmoid sinuses.It is accepted that almost 70-80% of adults experience a regular NC, but a true periodicity/reciprocity exists only in 21-39% of the Population. NC is considered an ultradian rhythm of side-toside nasal mucosal engorgement with a phase length ranging from 30 min to 6h. As first described, in an ideal cycle, the two air passages should show reciprocal changes of equal amplitude, 180° out of phase, with an identical period and similar mean airflow, with total nasal flow remaining constant.

Contiues:Interesting Facts About Nasal Treatments

• In 1933, Shenck and Kern suggested that nasal polyps were related to allergy. The polyps were commonly found in the ethmoid air cell system.
• In 1940s, advancements in immuno-biology and immuno-histochemistry techniques enabled description of lymphocyte and eosinophil present in the polyps.

• In 1969, Beer and Samter threw light on the triad of asthma, nasal polyps and aspirin sensitivity.
• In the end of the twentieth century, the first rigid and flexible fiber-optic endoscope was discovered. The invention changed the way upper aero-digestive tract was examined.
• Since Hippocrates influence was strong during golden age of the Greek civilization, he is remembered as the father of medicine and rhinology. However, Susruta used highly advanced surgical techniques to treat nasal disorders. Hippocrates recorded disorders related to nasal polyps and fractures. He named the nasal growth as polypus, as it resembled to the polyps found in the sea.  He defined polyps as “the sacs of phlegm that cause nasal obstruction and derange the sense of smell.”
