El propósito de este libro es explicar de forma comprensible el problema de la sordera y los últimos avances de la medicina en el tratamiento de esta dolencia que, debido al ruido y al aumento del promedio de edad de la poblacion, afecta a un numero cada vez mayor de personas. Por ser un problema que en los niños dificulta el aprendizaje y el desarrollo linguistico y en los adultos disminuye la capacidad de comunicacion, su diagnostico y tratamiento revisten gran importancia para la salud publica. Se describen en esta obra las partes del oido, su funcionamiento y las alteraciones que causan la hipoacusia, y se explica la importancia de los cuidados preventivos y cuales son las posibilidades de rehabilitacion. Con la deteccion precoz y el desarrollo de nuevos implantes quirurgicos y de terapias moleculares, la medicina actual facilita la solucion de la sordera en muchos casos que hasta hace poco resultaban irreversibles.

El objetivo de este libro es realizar un análisis exhaustivo de la disfonía vinculada al trabajo, desde la cadena de eventos que se suceden entre la exposición y la aparición de la patología vocal, hasta las posibles acciones preventivas y terapéuticas llevadas a cabo por el profesional fonoaudiólogo.

El sueo, es una necesidad funcional, indispensable, vital (la supresin del mismo, mata a los animales de experimentacin ms rpidamente que la falta de alimento). Sin duda, la falta de sueo empobrece la calidad de vida y el rendimiento cognitivo-operativo durante la vigilia. Por parte, el sueo, es un fenmeno ancestral de las sociedades que lo regula el ritmo luz-oscuridad, como as tambin las relaciones de los seres

Después de treinta y cinco años de dedicación preferente a la Otología en su más amplio sentido, he observado que buena parte de la patología quirúrgica del oído ha mostrado sus mayores avances en el siglo XX. La introduccion de los dispositivos electronico, entre los que se encuentra el implante coclear, han supuesto un sofisticado sistema de ampliacion y adaptacion del sonido a situaciones que no tenian solucion antes. Suelo repetir en las conferencias que imparto que, si el siglo pasado fue el de los avances quirurgicos, el siglo XXI sera el de la prevencion y tratamiento de las numerosas patologias que concurren en la sordera neurosensorial. El desarrollo de la genetica y el conocimiento de las bases moleculares que concurren en los diversos tipos de sorderas estan iniciando un esperanzador camino para que, en un futuro no muy lejano, se pueda evitar la progresion de esta invalidante afeccion en constante aumento en una sociedad que envejece. Y tal vez, su curacion.

La mayoría de las patologías más habituales, como faringitis, sinusitis, otitis media y otitis externa, son autolimitados y se resuelven sin apenas tratamiento ni evaluación especializada. Otros, como traumatismos y epistaxis, se evalúan en un servicio de urgencias o el paciente los trata en su casa. La localización de estas complicaciones y su estrecha proximidad con estructuras neurológicas, cardiovasculares y respiratorias puede comportar su afectación rápida y grave si no se diagnostican adecuadamente. Tanto por la mejoría de la asistencia médica general como del propio tratamiento antimicrobiano, se ha producido un descenso significativo del número de complicaciones de los trastornos otorrinolaringológicos.
