Authors: Sen Indranil , Das Anup Kumar , Das Arijit 
Published: May 2024

Abstract
Introduction
This study is an attempt to view the demographic profile of individuals presenting with hearing loss in an urban referral hospital with the help of available database of pure tone audiometry results over a three years period.
Materials and methods
It is adescriptive epidemiologicalstudy over a period of 3 years conducted in the Department of Otorhinolaryngology (ORL) of an urban referral hospital.The subjects presented with a complain of hearing loss were investigated with pure tone audiometry. Subjects below 10 years of age or with gross mental or physical disabilities were excluded. The results of pure tone audiometry done were analyzed followed by systematic analysis.
Results
A total number of 3536individuals inclusive of1980 males and1556 females were studied.
Nearly, 570 individuals suffered B/L hearing loss (16%) which was again mostly Sensori-neural.
Sensori-neural hearing loss was the most common hearing loss near about 52%.Mixed Hearing loss accounted for 13%.Conductive hearing loss accounted for 35 %. Mild hearing loss (25-40dB) accounted for maximum bulk of the patients.The bulk of the population comprised of people in their middle age (30-60) and elderly (>60 years).

Conclusion
The demographic profile of hearing loss in an urban population is the ground work for any comprehensive planning to resolve the issue. In our study the increased burden of mild to moderate sensorineural hearing loss as seen in the elderly population and increased prevalence of conductive hearing loss as seen in the young population shows us how respective management protocols can be instituted for the target populations.

Published: May 2024

Introduction: Middle ear risk index is one of the most reliable measuring tools to predict and evaluate the results of tympanoplasty. This study was done to analyse the predictive value of revised middle ear risk index on hearing improvement in patients undergoing surgery for chronic otitis media and to correlate the association between each index factor with hearing results.
Materials and Methods: This prospective observational study was done over 2 years in a tertiary care Army Hospital with 88 patients in the age group of 10-65 years. Preoperative hearing thresholds and air-bone gaps were recorded. Patients were assigned to mild, moderate and severe groups with risk index scores. Hearing thresholds were assessed at 3 and 6 months following surgery for chronic otitis media. Data was statistically analysed.
Results: 92.04% and 77.27% showed hearing improvements, 4.54% and 1.13% had deterioration and 3.40% and 21.59% had no change when compared to preoperative results in AC and BC thresholds respectively. 57.95% had post-operative closure of air bone gap of ≤ 12. Compared to cases with AB gap closure ≤ 12, those with AB gap closure > 12 showed statistically significant gain in BC by 0.2dB. Each unit increase in risk index score was associated with statistically significant increase of 0.64 dB in BC. Out of the seven individual factors, only perforation and previous surgery showed statistical significance in terms of hearing improvement.
Conclusion: Middle ear risk index is not a good predictor of hearing improvement in ear surgery. Individually, risk index or air bone gap are not strong predictors but jointly, they show strong association with hearing improvement both in terms of AC and BC.

Published: May 2024

Introduction: Cat scratch disease typically manifests as long standing regional lymphadenopathy, though clinical features may cover a wide spectrum. Lack of definite history of cat scratch, atypical presentation, non-availability of serological tests and misleading needle cytology may often lead to delay in diagnosis.
Case report: A 44 years old diabetic female, presented with persistent fever for 15 days followed by 4x4cm, tender tense swelling in left parotid region extending into upper neck. Her blood sugar was deranged. Polymorphonuclear leucocytosis was noted. Radiological investigation showed lymph nodal conglomeration involving level II, III and IV with non-enhancing necrotic areas within it. Mass was abutting Internal Jugular Vein, which was attenuated cranially. Aggressive antibiotics treatment and optimal glycemic control failed to resolve fever and lymphadenopathy, hence excision of neck mass was done which was reported histopathologically as Cat Scratch Disease.
Conclusion: While ruling out tuberculosis, Epstein Barr-Virus infection, acute bacterial lymphadenitis or malignant disease, Cat Scratch Disease should be included in the differential diagnosis of lymphadenopathies in head-neck region so that possibility of antibiotic abuse, an unnecessary biopsy, long term antitubercular drug therapy or even surgical treatment may be avoided.

Introduction: Displaying near-expiration products at discount stores is a common practice. While this practice is not explicitly prohibited by law, it needs to be considered in terms of health and consumer rights.Purposes of the Research: To examine the impacts and implications of displaying products nearing expiration at discount stores and to assess the legal protection and responsibility regarding such product displays.Methods of the Research: The research method used is normative juridical with legal, conceptual, and case approaches.Results of the Research: The practice of displaying near-expiration products at discount stores can have negative impacts on consumers and businesses. Legal protection for this practice consists of preventive measures through collaboration between relevant parties, periodic checks, discount product labeling, consumer awareness, and supervision by relevant institutions. Responsive legal protection can be pursued through litigation or non-litigation routes. The responsibility of businesses for this practice should be carefully reviewed, as they may become involved in legal conflicts and cause both material and immaterial losses to consumers. Fault-based liability should ideally be applied, but consumers need to make efforts and critically gather evidence, outline losses, and describe the causality of negative effects from purchasing display products.
