| Abstract | OBJECTIVE: Analysis of 12-month midterm clinical and audiometric data of patients with otosclerosis who underwent stapedotomy using a newly designed prosthesis made of nitinol, a shape memory alloy. PATIENTS: Fifty-five ears of 50 consecutive patients who underwent stapetotomy between March 2010 and July 2011 were included. They met the inclusion criteria of primary procedures, a clinical follow-up and absence of nickel allergy. INTERVENTION: Stapedotomy and insertion of a newly designed stapes prosthesis. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Preoperative and postoperative (3 and 12 mo) air and bone conduction thresholds were recorded. Pure tone average and air bone gap (difference of air and bone conduction thresholds) were calculated for 500, 1,000, 2,000, and 3,000 Hz. The occurrence of complications was assessed. RESULTS: Air conduction thresholds, pure tone average, and air-bone gap improved significantly 3 and 12 months postoperatively. Bone conduction threshold improved significantly at 2,000 Hz 3 months postoperatively and at 1,000 and 2,000 Hz 12 months postoperatively. A PTA of less than 20 dB was achieved in 96% of ears. No sensorineural hearing loss or other prosthesis-related adverse effects were observed. CONCLUSION: Postoperative hearing results are comparable to the results obtained with other self-crimping prostheses. No complications or failures related to the prosthesis occurred. A longer follow-up is necessary to prove long-term stability of hearing results and safety of the new prosthesis. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
