“…People should avoid scratching eczema, as this can lead to inflamed areas of skin that may bleed and make it worse. 2,3 Ear drops are prescribed if eczema is in the canal, antifungal creams, steroids for local application, systemic medications that reduce immune system's response to triggers. We managed all 5 cases with the above mentioned treatment course and this is in sync with the study put up here.…”

“…It has more affection towards people who live in warm and wet climates. 1,2 The aim of this study is to find out the commonest cause of otitis externa at our set up, to trace the group inclination in the aetiology of the disease, to note down the onset with duration of disease course with its progression among our patients, to categorise the disease based on its symptomatology and clinical presentation and to find out the commonest predisposing factors in the disease incidence and evolution. While objective is to educate the population to preclude and prevent any further untoward manifestation of this condition.…”

Background: Otitis externa is a condition that causes inflammation of the external ear canal. It is estimated that around 1 in 10 people will be affected by this condition at some point in their lives. It is relatively common in occurrence and is referred to as "swimmer's ear" because swimming in polluted water is a common way to contract it, but it is also possible from water trapped in the ear canal after a shower, especially in a humid climate. Hence, repeated exposure to water can make the ear canal more vulnerable to inflammation and infection. The aim of the present study is to find out the aetiology of this condition and also to educate the population regarding adapting and implementing measures so as to avoid the triggers that causes this condition.Methods: 89 patients who consulted the ENT outpatient department were clinically evaluated and diagnosis was made and treated accordingly.Results: As per the study, 79% patients in the infective group superseded 21% patients in the reactive group with the predominance of 58% patients with acute cases in terms of disease course and progression. 30% patients had repeated trauma to the ear canal as the common stimulant for the infection, that led to 25% patients with otomycosis as the commonest cause for otitis externa.Conclusions: Ear canal infection ranges from simple irritation to severe inflammation and in either scenario it should not be ignored and overlooked upon.

“…The core of the problem lies in the fact that in general one must find P (x,t) and z(t) simultaneously [32]. However, there are exceptions to this rule, as in the case of binary puts, because for them z(t) = k. As a result, the Laplace transform of P (x,t) can be computed…”

In this paper we will develop a methodology for obtaining pricing expressions for financial instruments whose underlying asset can be described through a simple continuous-time random walk (CTRW) market model. Our approach is very natural to the issue because it is based in the use of renewal equations, and therefore it enhances the potential use of CTRW techniques in finance. We solve these equations for typical contract specifications, in a particular but exemplifying case. We also show how a formal general solution can be found for more exotic derivatives, and we compare prices for alternative models of the underlying. Finally, we recover the celebrated results for the Wiener process under certain limits.PACS. 89.65.Gh Economics; econophysics, financial markets, business and management -05.40.Fb Random walks and Levy flights -02.50.Ey Stochastic processes
