Ear, Nose and Throat (ENT) surgery has traditionally been a difficult and specialised topic in undergraduate medicine and for junior doctors. Many textbooks are too detailed for undergraduate use, or lack self assessment questions to help those wishing to underpin their learning. This concise and easy-to-read self-assessment guide aims to clarify the topic, and find and fill gaps in understanding. The multiple choice questions (MCQs) contained cover all levels of knowledge and the learning objectives of most of the UK medical school curricula, aiding preparation for end of unit, module and final exams for ENT. This book will be a valuable companion for clinics and teaching sessions and an indispensable revision primer for graduate entry medical curricula. 'An excellent means of preparation for medical undergraduate examinations as gaps in core knowledge are quickly revealed. Further, this text is a good guide for students to identify those subject areas requiring more focused study, especially when time is short.' - From the Foreword by Samir Soma

Obesity and Voice: Current Views and Future Trends examines obesity-related voice research and suggests future research trends on the link between weight loss, weight gain, obesity, and phonation. Obesity is becoming one of the leading causes of disabilities and death. This unique text highlights the various means by which excessive weight, and weight loss, may jeopardize voice quality and endurance. All three components of voice production, the respiratory system and abdominal back and thoracic muscles as the power source, the vocal folds as the oscillator, and the vocal tract as the resonator, are targets of anatomic and systemic obesity-induced changes. Consequently, phonatory effects of obesity are inevitable. Considering the epidemic nature of obesity, obesity-related voice research is a critical topic for anyone interested in conditions affecting the voice, especially professional voice users and physicians.

This compilation focuses on Ototoxicity, the adverse pharmacological reaction affecting the inner ear or auditory nerve, characterised by cochlear or vestibular dysfunction. Although ototoxic medications play an essential role in modern medicine, they can cause harm and lead to significant morbidity. The authors discuss aminoglycoside antibiotics, loop diuretics, platinum-based chemotherapeutic agents, macrolide antibiotics and antimalarial medications which are among the 600 frequently used ototoxic drugs. Next, an overview of cisplatin-associated ototoxicity, namely its clinical features, incidence rates, molecular and cellular mechanisms and risk factors is provided for health care practitioners managing patients with cancer. Ototoxicity and neurotoxicity are defined from the perspective of chemical agents, nicotine and cotinine, that individuals experience through cigarette smoking and environmental tobacco smoke exposure. Mechanisms for toxicity are described by review of animal and human studies revealing changes in peripheral and central auditory structures after exposure to nicotine. The mechanisms of ototoxicity induced by aminoglycoside are also discussed, as well as the usage of these drugs for treatment of several disorders such as Meniere disease, and possible protective agents. In closing, the authors highlight the serious issue of aminoglycoside mediated hearing loss in cystic fibrosis patients, and also discuss alternative approaches for avoiding aminoglycoside-induced cochleotoxicity.
