Dear All
Uploading a small vdo clip of Ear Examination which adheres to the basic prerequisite of -
Consistent and Concentrated source of illumination in the form of the conventional setup of Bull's Eyelamp and Head Mirror.
The vdo also extolls on the virtue of -
1) First honest attempt for a naked eye examination (i.e. without Magnification)
2) Without instrumentation.

Dear Friends,
It has been quite some time that I have posted anything on the blog.I say "quite some time" because 2  batches have already completed their clinical postings in ENT and a good amount of clinical taching has been accomplished (of course A BIG THANKS to your sense of commitment)...
Now posting a VDO of Acute Suppurative Otitis Media at the stage of perforation. Would want you to basically   to observe 2 things..
1) The classical "LIGHT HOUSE SIGN" .
2) The (?) therapeutic use of the Siegle's Pneumatic Speculum ...of sucking away the secretions.
Please peruse.....

Also do give me your feedback which acts like an elixir for my enthusiasm.
Till then....ADIEU
Amol.

Dear Aditya & ,
Uploading a VDO of Antrochaonal Polyp.You can see in the vdo that it is arising from right side (AC Poylps  are UNILATERAL) and as is its tendency to grow posteriorly towards the nasopharynx.This has essentially 2 effects - 1) They are not are not seen easily on routine anteior rhoinoscopy
               2) When they reach the nasopharynx,they cause a BILATERAL nasal blockage even when they are UNILATERAL.
Also PROBING is used to differentiate it from 1) Hypertrophied Turbinate which is
a) Sensitive to touch

b) Bleeds to touch
c) Hard in consistency
d) It cannot be probed all around as it is laterally attached.
Please watch carefully.
Regards,

Amol.
