Reflections and perceptions of chronic tinnitus during childhood
The effectiveness and safety profile of antiseptics in the treatment of chronic suppurative otitis media is uncertain
The aim of this Cochrane Review was to find out if hearing loss caused by noise at work is being prevented by current interventions
Our results indicate immediate priorities for health service planning and for strengthening of vital registration systems
Infant vaccination with 3 doses of PCV10 or PCV13 is safe and immunogenic in a highly endemic setting
Aboriginal children and children from lower socio-economic backgrounds were over-represented with OM-related hospitalizations but had fewer TTIs
PPV is immunogenic in 9-month-old children at high risk of pneumococcal infections and does not affect the capacity to produce protective immune responses
There is limited but consistent evidence that suggests prenatal factors, including maternal stress, may contribute to susceptibility for otitis media. We aimed to determine the effect of multiple life stress events during pregnancy on risk of acute and recurrent otitis media in offspring at three and five years of age.
Streptococcus pneumoniae is a leading cause of pneumonia and meningitis worldwide. Many different serotypes co-circulate endemically in any one location. The extent and mechanisms of spread and vaccine-driven changes in fitness and antimicrobial resistance remain largely unquantified.
