Summary
Sea buckthorn oil patches effectively treat traumatic tympanic membrane perforations. This natural treatment significantly increased healing rates and reduced healing time for middle and large perforations.
Area of Science:
- Otolaryngology
- Regenerative Medicine
- Natural Product Therapeutics
Background:
- Traumatic tympanic membrane perforations are common ear injuries.
- Various treatments exist, but novel, effective options are sought.
- Sea buckthorn oil is recognized for its potential healing properties.
Purpose of the Study:
- To evaluate the efficacy of sea buckthorn oil patches in healing traumatic tympanic membrane perforations.
- To compare healing rates and times between sea buckthorn oil treatment and standard care.
- To determine if sea buckthorn oil is effective for different sizes of perforations.
Main Methods:
- Prospective study involving 370 patients with traumatic tympanic membrane perforations.
- Randomized controlled trial comparing sea buckthorn oil patches to sterile cotton patches.
- Assessment of healing rate and duration of healing at 2 months post-injury.
Main Results:
- Sea buckthorn oil patches significantly increased the overall healing rate compared to the control group.
- Middle and large tympanic membrane perforations showed a significant improvement in healing rates with sea buckthorn oil.
- Healing duration was generally shorter in the sea buckthorn oil treatment group (P<0.05).
Conclusions:
- Sea buckthorn oil patches are an effective treatment for traumatic tympanic membrane perforations.
- The treatment demonstrates particular efficacy for middle and large perforations.
- Sea buckthorn oil offers a promising therapeutic approach, enhancing healing outcomes.

831
Esophageal perforations manifest in various clinical forms, influenced by factors such as the perforation's cause and location (cervical, intrathoracic, or intra-abdominal), the extent of contamination, and potential injury to adjacent mediastinal structures. The timing between the perforation occurrence and treatment initiation also affects the clinical presentation.

Assessing tympanic membrane temperature involves using a tympanic membrane thermometer (TMT). Here is a step-by-step guide:
Step 1: Begin by practicing good hand hygiene to prevent the transmission of microorganisms.
Step 2: Turn on the thermometer and wait until the ready sign appears on the screen to ensure accurate measurement.
Step 3: Slide the probe cover in place to prevent cross-contamination.
Step 4: Instruct the patient to tilt their head to the side for comfort and check for cerumen...
