This paper presents the authors' experiences with 111 treated mandibular fractures and 16 cases of complication. Pertinent data on the fresh fractures are given, but the major part of the study deals with cause, diagnosis, and treatment of the complications of mandibular fractures. These are divided into four categories-infection, nonunion, malunion, and temporomandibular joint ankylosis, although only infection and temporomandibular joint ankylosis are included here. Unique mandibular fracture complications are reviewed.

Therapy for such obstructive pulmonary lung diseases as alveolar proteinosis, pneumonia, asthma, bronchiectasis, and cystic fibrosis, ranges from medical therapy to inhalation therapy to direct bronchoscopy and irrigation. The basic pathophysiologic feature is the retention of mucous secretions and foreign material within the lungs and therapy directed to removal of these secretions. Bronchopulmonary lavage recently has been suggested as an effective tool toward resolution of these illnesses. The otolaryngologist, who is adept in endoscopy, is asked to perform bronchoscopic procedures with washings to aid in the alleviation of these obstructive pulmonary diseases. This paper deals with the effectiveness of massive bronchopulmonary lavage in the elimination of severe chronic obstructive pulmonary lung diseases.

Surface preparations were made of the vestibular sense organs of humans from membranous labyrinths removed within ten hours of death. Total sensory cell counts and surface area measurements were made from composite photographic reconstructions. The general topographical and cytoarchitectural arrangements were found to be similar to those previously described for the guinea pig and squirrel monkey. The surface areas and sensory cell populations of the human cristae were only slightly greater than those recorded for these animals; however, the figures for the human maculae were twofold to fourfold greater. It seems possible that this exceptional enlargement of the sensory epithelia of the static labyrinth is in response to a physiological need generated by the evolutionary transition of primates from the quadruped to the biped stance.

Tumors of the chemoreceptor system are quite rare, and are usually considered to be benign, but locally invasive. We report a case of a glomus juxtavagale tumor with metastasis to cervical lymph nodes, lung, and bone. Review of the literature shows that 19% of similar cases reported also showed distant metastases, a rate significantly higher than for other chemodectomas. Clinically and histologically, benign and malignant tumors are identical, so only the demonstration of distant metastasis indicates malignant neoplasm. Primary treatment is surgical, but radiotherapy is useful for palliation.

Gentamicin sulfate ophthalmic solution, 0.3%, was used ototopically in the treatment of 300 patients with otorrhea associated with acute and chronic ear conditions and to obtain a preoperative "dry state" in 93 cases in which surgical operation was indicated. Bacterial cultures, antibiograms, and audiometric tests were conducted before, during, and after ototopical therapy. Gentamicin-susceptible pathogens were isolated in all cases. A totally "dry state", after three weeks of therapy, was considered evidence of clinical success. Administration of gentamicin was by means of a wick or at the rate of 0.3 to 0.4 ml twice daily. Clinical success was observed in 271 cases. There were no signs of ototoxicity and only one reported instance of skin reaction. This simple, inexpensive treatment is particularly adaptable to situations in which specialized bacteriological testing facilities are unavailable and a broad-spectrum antibiotic is indicated.

Hyperbaric oxygen used in the treatment of 14 patients with intractable osteonecrosis of the mandible produced a favorable response in relief of pain, elimination of extraoral draining sinus tracts, the return of osseous union in areas of the abnormal fracture, and the rapid dissolution of sequestrum without suppuration, so that further loss of hard and soft tissue was minimized. This treatment is a more conservative approach in the management of osteoradionecrosis.

Reconstruction after mandbulectomy for cancer presents a major problem in head and neck surgery. This study reports the experiences with a planned staged method of reconstruction that aims at both cosmetic and functional rehabilitation and that is based on a close cooperation between surgeon and prosthodontist. Stabilization of the remaining mandibular fragments by means of intermaxillary fixation at the time the tumor is resected, delayed bone grafting, and preprosthetic surgery to allow the use of a functional denture are the high points of the method. The results in 58 patients are discussed.

The effect of obturator treatment of cleft palate on middle ear disease and hearing loss has not been established. This study serves as an otologic and audiologic review of a previously reported adult population with cleft palate. A substantial improvement in hearing levels subsequent to obturation was demonstrated; however, it was believed to be based on stabilization of pathologic features of the ear with age. A statistically significant correlation of hearing level with length of use of prosthesis or with type of lesion could not be demonstrated. Results are compared with those reported on the only other adult population with cleft palate. Prosthetic management of cleft palates is not shown to be detrimental, as has been generally thought.
