Glue ear: there's a better alternative to grommet surgery

Glue ear or secretory otitis media, to give it its medical name, is caused by a build up of fluid in the middle ear.

Key Points:

Glue ear or secretory otitis media, to give it its medical name, is caused by a build up of fluid in the middle ear.
The default treatment for glue ear is grommet surgery, which is where a small tube is inserted in the eardrum to regulate the pressure in the middle ear.
There is also a lack of good-quality evidence that surgery achieves a long-term solution to recurrent bouts of glue ear.

Evolutionary glitches

In contrast, birds and reptiles only have one little ear bone and no empty middle ear space.
The first evolutionary glitch is the development of the Eustachian tube – which connects the middle ear to the nose and throat and thus the outside, ensuring pressure equalisation and the clearance of secretions.
The second evolutionary glitch is caused by how the middle ear was created in the first place.
The third evolutionary glitch is related to the lack of maturity in the child’s immune system against viruses and bacteria.

Auto-inflation

Several auto-inflation devices to treat glue ear in children were developed including the nasal balloon, first introduced in 1968 by Professor Hunt-Williams.
All the devices focused on autoinflation by nose, which is efficient in adults but difficult to perform in children.
So there is no consensus about the effectiveness of auto-inflation, and grommet surgery remains the most common surgery performed on children.
The new generation of devices have a face mask that is used to cover the nose and mouth of a child.

What is food protein-induced enterocolitis syndrome or FPIES? And are more babies getting it?

Retrieved on:

Monday, July 31, 2023

But fewer people have heard of food protein-induced enterocolitis syndrome (FPIES).

Key Points:

But fewer people have heard of food protein-induced enterocolitis syndrome (FPIES).
It can be caused by a variety of foods including some not usually associated with food allergies like rice, oats and vegetables.
The most common symptom is profuse, repetitive vomiting one to four hours after eating the food.

What is it that causes symptoms?

We don’t currently know much about the immune dysregulation that causes FPIES.
That also means medications used for treatment of these types of allergies (such as EpiPens and antihistamine) do not work in FPIES.

Missed cases?

Symptoms of FPIES can be mistaken for other conditions such as gastroenteritis (“gastro”), twisted bowel or serious blood infections.
This can delay diagnosis.
Unlike most other types of food allergies, which have reactions caused by allergy antibodies, there is no blood test to diagnose FPIES.

How common is FPIES and is it becoming more common?

Because it is under-recognised and difficult to diagnose, estimates of FPIES prevalence vary considerably – between 0.015% to 0.7% of infants.
Although data is sparse, some studies report an increase in rates of FPIES.
An increasing awareness of FPIES, as well as improvements in diagnosis, mean FPIES diagnoses may increase without a true increase in the condition.

What foods trigger FPIES?

In Australia, rice is the most reported FPIES trigger, with cow’s milk, soy and eggs also common.
Cow’s milk is the most common reported trigger in the United States and Europe.
Fish is a common trigger reported in Mediterranean countries, and increasingly reported as a cause of FPIES in older children and adults.
Those with FPIES need to avoid the foods that trigger FPIES reactions, but there is often no need to avoid other non-related foods.

What to do if you suspect you or your child has FPIES

If you think that you or your child may have FPIES, talk to your doctor.
The next step may be developing an action plan for a FPIES reaction.

'What does journey even mean?': Emily Perkins interrogates our obsession with wellbeing

The protagonist of Emily Perkins’ Lioness, she is instantly recognisable – and her story will engage readers who like to soak up a good psychological drama.

Key Points:

The protagonist of Emily Perkins’ Lioness, she is instantly recognisable – and her story will engage readers who like to soak up a good psychological drama.
It’s the sort of store that promotes “rituals involving candles and incense […] affirmations, cleanses, arranging your desk, changing the cushion covers”.
Review: Lioness – Emily Perkins (Bloomsbury) From humble origins, she’s risen to a point where she and financier husband, property developer Trevor, have eyes on a central Sydney location.
She toasts her gratitude to Trevor at a Christmas party – to which many of their friends do not show.
And indulged, entitled Heathcote, “with his studied loucheness, as if the family money was acceptable as long as he wasted it”.

Flaccid sex and a bohemian siren

I am a little dubious about novels that open with a sex scene, flaccid as it is – but soon realised its flaccidity is the point.
Trevor is in his seventies and hides his Viagra; Therese is in her fifties and energetically manages her homewares empire.
There is something of the unreliable narrator in Therese’s naivety, which at first seems implausible.
But Claire, who lives in a downstairs apartment in their block (and tells Therese on the first day they meet of her fantasy sex dream with Trevor) offers a window into a more liberated, more bohemian, more alluring world.
While Trevor and Therese talk domestic logistics, each glued to their screens, Claire is a “conversational minefield” who is like a siren to Therese.
Therese knows only that Claire used to work on film sets, then in fundraising, and recently lost her job.

Becoming a lioness

Therese’s transition from “catalogue model blandness” to, well, a lioness, is the real page-turner.
When she speaks or even thinks honestly, from the heart, it feels like relief – for the reader as much as for Therese.
There is a lioness tattoo on the abdomen of the mother of Therese’s personal assistant, whose manifesto could be Therese’s:
I don’t care now what I say.
She writes fiercely, lets the dialogue speak for itself and sprinkles the darkness with moments of biting, laugh-out-loud humour.
Lioness may be a queasy read – but it’s an intoxicating one.
