“…In 2 Finnish studies, it was found that up to 31% of the children have been adenoidectomized before the age of 3 years. 8,9 We found a significant correlation between the MRI scores and the severity of nasal obstruction and discharge and fever confirming the results of a study done on adults. 10 None of the other symptoms or the duration of the symptoms predicted the paranasal sinus findings.…”

ABSTRACT. Objective. The spreading of acute respiratory infection into the paranasal sinuses in children is poorly defined. The main objective of this study was to evaluate the frequency and spontaneous resolution of paranasal sinus abnormalities in children with acute respiratory infection using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).Methods. We examined 60 children with MRI (mean age: 5.7 years) with symptoms of acute respiratory infection. Twenty-six children with major abnormalities in the first MRI scan had a follow-up MRI taken 2 weeks later.Results. The children had had symptoms of uncomplicated acute respiratory infection for an average of 6 days before the first examination (mean duration: 6. Conclusions. These observations indicate that acute respiratory infection mostly spreads into the paranasal sinuses of children in the form of mucosal edema and that these abnormalities tend to resolve spontaneously without antimicrobial treatment.

“…Although the otitis was evidenced only in the first year of life, the linguistic and language skills deficits were persistent, being observed in all stages, including at nine years old. These findings are consistent with those observed by Luotonen et al (1998) in a population-based study with 1708 Finnish children.…”

“…Inconsistency and alterations in stimulation of the peripheral auditory system in the first three years of life, due to chronic otitis, lead to an equally inconsistent sound stimulation to the central auditory nervous system, compromising the development of auditory skills and the construction of phonological representations (Luotonen et al, 1998). Despite infection remission still in early childhood, changes in the auditory processing remain and have harmful and persistent effects on phonological representations and in the acquisition of reading and writing skills.…”

-This study aims to examine contemporary theories on dyslexia, based on findings related to changes in auditory processing and speech perception found in dyslexics. The support for the phonological, allophonic and auditory deficit theories of dyslexia is discussed based on findings related to these changes in auditory perception. A new theoretical model is proposed, according to which dyslexia is a multifactorial-based deficit, with a gamut of associated behavioral symptoms. The deficit presented by dyslexics is partially linguistic, as advocated by the phonological theory, and partially auditory, as advocated by the theory of auditory deficit. Both factors interact and are inseparable in accounting for the symptomatology observed in reading and writing disorders.

“…Children with otitis media typically have difficulties with language processing and social behavior. Researchers have reported that elementary aged children with a history of otitis media perform poorly on tests of auditory processing ability (Updike & Thornburg, 1992), speech and reading (Bellussi et al, 2005), reading ability (Updike & Thornburg, 1992), reading comprehension (Luotonen et al, 1998), vocabulary (Bellussi et al, 2005), and expressive language (Rach, Zielhuis, & van den Broek, 1988). However, other studies suggest that children with a history of otitis media do not have impaired verbal comprehension at ages 2-4 years (Rach et al, 1988), and may not have difficulties understanding speech, although the authors acknowledged high variability in the otitis media group (Keogh et al, 2005).…”

The Polyvagal theory proposes the Social Engagement System as a theoretical model linking social behavior with the neural regulation of the heart (via the vagus) and the striated muscles of the face and head (via special visceral efferent pathways). The current pilot study tested the feasibility of this model with typically developing 3-5-year-old children by evaluating the relation between spontaneous social engagement behavior measured by eye gaze behaviors and the visceromotor (e.g., respiratory sinus arrhythmia) and somatomotor (e.g., right tympanic membrane compliance) components of the Social Engagement System. Regression analyses supported the hypothesis that the visceromotor and somatomotor components of the Social Engagement System significantly predict social behavior (indexed by spontaneous eye gazes). Future studies assessing indices of visceral regulation and middle ear muscle function may provide insights into neural mechanisms mediating features of developmental disorders, such as autism, that have deficits in spontaneous eye gaze, auditory processing, and social behavior.
