Abstract:
A female patient with unilateral enlarged vestibular aqueduct (EVA) demonstrated scala vestibuli dilatation on that side while on the contralateral side both vestibular aqueduct and scala vestibuli were normal. This important radiological finding demonstrates that modiolar defects (hence 'cystic apex') observed in Incomplete partition-II is due to pressure transfer via EVA during embryological development. Therefore, it supports the previous histopathological ideas radiologically. Depending on the patency of EVA, variety of modiolar defects may arise.

Mechanisms of Heat Transfer
Conduction, accounting for approximately 3% of body heat loss at rest, is the process of exchanging heat between molecules of two materials in direct contact. This can result in both heat loss and gain. For instance, when the body is submerged in water, which conducts heat 20 times more effectively than air, it can either lose or gain significant...
