AbstractIntroduction:Bony canalplasty is a common otological procedure performed to widen a narrow ear canal. The aim of this report is to describe two unusual patients who presented with a canal wall cholesteatoma many years after bony canalplasty.Cases:Two patients, aged 28 and 52 years, are presented. Both underwent canalplasty, 14 and 17 years before re-presenting with cholesteatoma evident through posterior canal wall defects. Both patients underwent exploration of the mastoid cavities and cartilage reconstruction of the canal walls. There was no recurrence at 24 and three month follow-up examinations (variously), hearing was preserved in both cases, and the patients suffered no early complications.Conclusions:The most frequent long-term complication of canalplasty is re-stenosis of the external auditory canal. The importance of sealing any inadvertently opened mastoid air cells, in order to avoid the late complication reported, is emphasised.

Primary Carcinoid Tumor

Carcinoid tumors usually arise in the gastrointestinal tract. Immunocytohistochemical and radiologic studies are important in detecting the primary tumor site. Primary carcinoid tumors of the testis are particularly rare with a high malignant potential warranting long-term follow-up. We present the case of a primary carcinoid tumor of the testis with long-term surveillance.

Benign chondroblastoma is a rare tumor in the temporal bone. It occurs preponderantly in middle-aged men as a mass in the posterosuperior region of the ear canal and is accompanied by hearing loss. On pathologic examination, giant cells and focal regions of chondroid differentiation are noted. After the extent of the tumor has been determined, the treatment is surgical removal. Preoperative irradiation may be helpful. Long-term follow-up is essential.

Long Term Follow Up

Background. Carcinoid tumors are distinct neuroendocrine neoplasms commonly located within the gastrointestinal tract and bronchopulmonary system. The aim of this case report was to present a patient with carcinoid tumor of the ovary as a less common form of this neoplasm. Case report. A 49 year old woman was admitted to the hospital with symptoms of diarrhea and abdominal pain and suspicion of neuroendocrine neoplasm, 4 month after bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy and total hysterectomy for ovarian tumor. Pathological diagnosis was typical for carcinoid tumor. At admission the patient had slightly eleveated levels of tumor marker CA 125 and highly elevated levels of 5- HIAA. Abdominal CT showed suspicious rest tumor in the pelvis. Relaparotomy was done and retroperitoneal fibrosis was found. Six months after the intervention the levels of 5-HIAA and CA 125 were normal, and NMR of the abdomen showed no signs of rest tumor. Conclusion. Carcinoid tumor of the ovary is rare form of ovarian tumors and less than 0.1% had malignant potential. Surgical therapy associated with a long-term follow up was the treatment of choice. Consideration of unusual sites of carcinoid tumors facilitates appropriate diagnosis and treatment.

AbstractNeurobiology-based interventions for mental diseases and searches for useful biomarkers of treatment response have largely failed. Clinical trials should assess interventions related to environmental and social stressors, with long-term follow-up; social rather than biological endpoints; personalized outcomes; and suitable cluster, adaptive, and n-of-1 designs. Labor, education, financial, and other social/political decisions should be evaluated for their impacts on mental disease.

AbstractA long-term photographic search programme for minor planets was begun at the Kleť Observatory at the end of seventies using a 0.63-m Maksutov telescope, but with insufficient respect for long-arc follow-up astrometry. More than two thousand provisional designations were given to new Kleť discoveries. Since 1993 targeted follow-up astrometry of Kleť candidates has been performed with a 0.57-m reflector equipped with a CCD camera, and reliable orbits for many previous Kleť discoveries have been determined. The photographic programme results in more than 350 numbered minor planets credited to Kleť, one of the world's most prolific discovery sites. Nearly 50 per cent of them were numbered as a consequence of CCD follow-up observations since 1994.This brief summary describes the results of this Kleť photographic minor planet survey between 1977 and 1996. The majority of the Kleť photographic discoveries are main belt asteroids, but two Amor type asteroids and one Trojan have been found.
