I am currently working on a global history of dengue fever. Dengue is a viral disease transmitted by Aedes mosquitoes, and most commonly by Aedes aegypti. Reports of dengue date from the 18th century, with sporadic epidemics occurring in parts of Asia, Africa, and North America over the course of the 19th and early 20th centuries. Dr. Benjamin Rush provided a detailed description of what is believed to have been a major dengue fever outbreak in Philadelphia in 1780. The broader global expansion of dengue began in Southeast Asia after World War II and soon reached around the globe. By 2005, dengue had become the most important mosquito-borne viral disease affecting humans; its global distribution comparable to that of malaria, with an estimated 2.5 billion people living in areas at risk for epidemic transmission. 50-100 million cases of Dengue occur worldwide each year, 200,000-500,000 of which are DHF. The study will examine the emergence and global spread of dengue, with special attention to the complex set of biological, environmental, social and economic conditions that facilitated its rapid global expansion during the last decades of the 20th century. It will also explore efforts to understand and control the disease.

Case Arek
Arek, IT service provider for Finnish pension insurance industry's joint usage, wanted to develop own operating model and serve its customers even better. At the same time, the company wanted to improve employee experience for personnel consisting of IT professionals. A transformation was needed and a team of trusted professionals from Sofigate came in to support Arek.
The pension insurance industry and customer's needs are developing vigorously. Arek wants to offer its customers even better service and real added value. Moreover, the company wants to ensure an excellent employee experience for its personnel.
Sofigate evaluated Arek's situation and helped to identify development needs. Based on the findings, a development programme was kicked off. Free-spoken discussions with Arek's entire personnel and Arek's customers' key people at the very beginning of the process proved extremely valuable and helped to build trusts. During the development programme, Arek's management model and roles were transformed in collaboration with the whole personnel.
A solid foundation for Arek's new operating model was laid in the development programme. Arek's mission and vision were crystallised, its service offering, roles and responsibilities were clarified, and its governance model, among other things, was updated. The development of certain functions is still ongoing.
Arek produces and develops the joint IT services of the earnings-related pension field, making sure that the pension systems serving Finns function reliably and cost-effectively – now and in the future. Arek is owned by its customers, a group of Finnish pension insurance companies.
"The industry of earnings-related pension insurances is developing at a fast pace, and the needs are changing and becoming more complex. Changes in legislation and regulatory demands are adding complexity to the development of IT systems, while from our customers' perspective, we need to be agile, modern and cost-effective. In addition, the rapid change in our operating environment has made it especially important that we ensure an excellent employee experience for our personnel", says Aaro Mutikainen, CEO of Arek.
Two trusted senior advisors from Sofigate, Jarmo Jätyri and Timo Savolainen, came in to support Arek on its transformation journey. The process started with a mapping of the company's development needs. First, Arek's entire personnel and key people representing its customers were interviewed. Based on the results, a development programme was kicked off and executed in sprints.
We are a strategic, cost-effective partner for our customers", says Aaro Mutikainen, CEO of Arek (Picture: Jussi Vierimaa)
Inspired by a trustful and positive atmosphere, the personnel took an active role
Due to the pandemic, most of the implementation was done remotely. Nonetheless, Arek's personnel needed to take an active role in the transformation. A positive atmosphere, a feeling of trust and a sense of collaboration were key factors in succeeding.
"We organised a lot of joint events and discussions. For example, the whole staff took part in creating Arek's new strategy. People got well on board with the transformation thanks to both confidential discussions and small group workshops that built trust", says Timo Savolainen.
Feedback from the personnel was collected throughout the development programme and used to further improve it.
Clear services and roles
The first development sprint started with crystallising the company's mission and vision and defining its service offering more clearly. The clarification of roles, responsibilities and skills at Arek followed.
Thanks to clear descriptions of roles and responsibilities, working together is becoming increasingly better at Arek.
A new strategy and new operating models
In the second development sprint, Arek's new strategy was defined, and operating models were developed.
The sprint also included the creation of a new innovation process that specifies the use of new technologies and the application of new ideas into practice. Moreover, development portfolio management and supplier management models were together developed.
"We got very valuable support from Sofigate, which helped us to lay a solid foundation for Arek's ways of working and further development", Aaro Mutikainen says.
"A systematic approach and making use of best practices are crucial to the success of a transformation project like this. We offer practical help in a way that suits the customer best, so we can bring about real change in everyday practices", Jarmo Jätyri concludes.

Swedish Neutron Education for Science & Society
PhD-student presentations
SwedNess PhD licentiate
SwedNess About us
SwedNess is a graduate school for neutron scattering operated by six Swedish universities: Uppsala University (coordinator), Chalmers University of Technology, KTH Royal Institute of Technology, Linköping University, Lund University and Stockholm University. SwedNess has the goal to educate doctoral students to expand Sweden's expertise in neutron scattering to exploit ESS now under construction in Lund.
The school focuses on four thematic areas, fundamental studies of chemical and physical phenomena, functional materials, engineering, and life-sciences and its' technology, providing a spread of expertise but also a sufficient critical mass for excellent research and education. The goal is that the graduate students will gain expertise in neutron scattering techniques by exploiting the different existing neutron facilities so as to be qualified for future involvement in the development of the ESS.
The school stimulates interactions between students, senior researchers and co-operation with ESS. The PhD students form a student network to develop national, Nordic and international contacts. SwedNess co-operates closely contact with the Nordic graduate school that is part of the Nordic Neutron Science Programme.
The goals for the graduate school are manifold:
To enlarge and broaden the neutron scattering community by forming and developing a world-leading interdisciplinary, co-operative community.
To support the six participating universities to take full advantage of the different neutron scattering techniques at various facilities around the world in preparation for the start of ESS.
To involve staff and students from universities outside the alliance to engage in courses and summer schools developed by SwedNess so as to further broaden the national scientific impact.
To create a strong academic collaboration with Swedish industry in the use of neutron scattering.
To be a strong partner in the Nordic neutron scattering community.
To strengthen academic and industrial networking both with ESS as well as other international neutron scattering facilities.
To perform excellent research using neutron scattering within four research themes: functional materials, life sciences, basic chemistry and physics, and engineering; all including a perspective of instrument development.
To promote interdisciplinary activities between the research themes, PhD students and their supervisors, the involved industries, ESS and partners within Sweden and internationally.
To promote and plan for the complimentary use of neutrons and x-rays, especially in relationship to future great prospects with the co-location of the ESS and MAX IV laboratory in Lund.
When ESS is in full operation in 2025, Sweden needs to take full advantage with research that exploits the new opportunities. The graduate school that SSF has established promotes development of relevant research and training of researchers. Six Swedish Universities form a consortium to for these activities that use and develop neutron scattering techniques. The opportunities for training are made available to the Swedish scientific community as a whole.
Sweden has a vigorous community of researchers that exploit neutrons: current work has centred on activities in solid state chemistry, magnetism and soft matter. The latter topic provides an interface to a growing community that has become engaged with topics such as biomaterials and the challenges of maintaining the environment. The PhD research projects consolidate and expand these themes.

Thanks for checking out my biography. I hope it means that you enjoyed one of my stories. If so, I would love to hear your feedback; I'm always curious about how people see my stories.
I'm a curious man. In a way that's why I write. I start with an idea and I wonder how the story would unfold. In my world, the characters dictate the story, the story doesn't control the characters.
I do tend to be a bit of a sporadiac writer, so if you are starting one of my multi-chapter stories, please be patient. If you drop me a friendly reminder, it will give me encouragement to write faster. Also, if you include a reply address, I will be sure to send you an email when the next chapter is available.
I am in the midst of writing a new story... It has gotten a bit out of hand, but I've decided to finish it before posting, to avoid the situation where a story takes a couple of years from first to last chapter.

Home Judiciary UNICEF Kicks Over Sentencing Of 13-Year-Old To 10 Years Imprisonment In Kano...
UNICEF Kicks Over Sentencing Of 13-Year-Old To 10 Years Imprisonment In Kano For Blasphemy
The United Nations Children's Fund, UNICEF, has called on the Kano State government to urgently reverse the sentencing of Umar Farouq, a 13-year-old boy, to 10 years in prison for blasphemy.
UNICEF made this call in a statement by its representative in Nigeria, Peter Hawkins, who said that the sentence is a contradiction of the United Nations convention on the rights of the child, which Nigeria ratified in 1991.
Recall that a Sharia court in Kano convicted Farouq, after he was accused of using "disparaging language on Allah" during a disagreement with his friend.
Controversial judge, Aliyu Kanu, who had earlier passed a death sentence on a musician, Yahaya Sharif-Aminu for blasphemy, is the same judge who sentenced Farouq.
Condemning the sentencing of Farouq, Hawkins insisted that it undermines child rights principles, adding, "The sentencing of this child – 13-year-old Omar Farouk to 10 years in prison with menial labour is wrong."
The statement added, "It also negates all core underlying principles of child rights and child justice that Nigeria – and by implication, Kano State – has signed on to.
"The sentence is in contravention of the United Nations convention on the rights of the child, which Nigeria ratified in 1991. It is also a violation of the African Charter on the rights and welfare of the child – which Nigeria ratified in 2001, and Nigeria's Child Rights Act 2003, which domesticates Nigeria's international obligations to protect children's right to life, survival and development."

There has been a great deal of talk within the last few months regarding diversity and inclusion within law firms. And there is good reason. While nearly half of those attending law school are women, according to data collected by the American Bar Association, in 2017, only 23% of partnersin firms were women. Based on what I see, some women head to in-house positions, others choose to change career paths and some venture out and set up their own firms.

So I was changing out the water pump on my JK 3.8 motor and one of the top water pump bolt broke off in the motor. It's got a little sticking out (very little). But I am thinking the best way to remove it would be to weld a nut on the end of if. Problem is I can't weld and have no welder.
Can anyone recommend a mobile welder or if someone knows how to weld and could help me in any way. I will gladly pay for your time.
I am in Mesa, AZ. The Jeep is currently stuck in my garage.
Have you tried an extractor set?
I would use the drill in and tap out kind vs. the reverse screw type.
Rigid makes a nice set that probably will run less than having a mobile welder visit.
Absolutely possible to use a good , carbon bit extractor kit ( usually a bit to drill a small divot into the broken bolt then the reverse biter / removal bit . I have a set but can buy just the set off amazon or your local O'Reilly/Advance Auto has them.
That's what I'd do .

A Lively Game of Ambition
July 04, 2019 / Christopher Peterson
It is no small feat to sit down and craft a full-length play and/or musical. The dedication and determination it takes for one to accomplish such a tedious task often requires years of experience both on and off the paper. Playwrights are a specific, unique breed that exquisitely mold language into effective and powerful dialogue. Their work is the foundation for the production. A heavy weight that many never dare to lend their shoulders to. However, at just sixteen year-old, Melody Rose, of Wilton, CT, took it upon herself to do just that.

New Haven Theater Company Starts Their 2018/19 Season With A "Love Song"
Just a block off the New Haven green you'll find EBM Vintage, a market that specializes in all sorts of antique goods from the '50s, '60s and '70s. If you go past the typewriters and kitchen gadgets, rotary phones, books, home décor and a few racks of clothes, you'll find a small, cozy black box theater that's home to the New Haven Theater Company. About 40 seats are lined up in three or four rows. The stage, only raised a step off the ground, is currently split into two settings; a homey apartment complete with couch sits to the right with a dilapidated and dirty living room to the left. The New Haven Theater Company [NHTC] is gearing up for the first show of their season, "Love Song" by John Kolvenback, which will be followed by Jordan Harrison's "Marjorie Prime" and Dale Wasserman's "One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest."

Little Theatre of Manchester (LTM) will present John Cariani's LOVE/SICK weekends from June 1 to June 17, 2018
"A dark, amusing look at romance…strikes just the right balance between wisdom and whimsy…light, bright, anti-romantic, and engaging," according toThe Hartford Courant, LOVE/SICK is a collection of nine slightly twisted and completely hilarious short vignettes taking place in an alternate suburban reality (where a bride can literally get cold feet and a couple can simply forget to have a baby). This 80-minute romp explores the tragedy and comedy of relationships. Full of imperfect lovers and dreamers, LOVE/SICK is an unromantic comedy for the romantic in everyone.
A Chat with Gabrielle Beckford of "Crowns" at Long Wharf Theatre
For actress Gabrielle Beckford, starring in "Crowns" is both the start of her professional career and a full circle moment. The recent Rider University graduate grew up in New York City and, while she was involved in all types of art from visual to culinary, her first experience as a performer was singing in church. But after a high school teacher cast in "Hair," Beckford switched her attention from the pulpit to the proscenium. She started studying voice and dance, eventually completing a BFA in musical theater. It seems to be serendipity that her first professional role after college is in "Crowns," a gospel-infused play Beckford says hits close to home. To learn more about the show and her experience playing Yolanda, both at McCarter Theatre Center and currently at Long Wharf Theatre in New Haven, Connecticut, I spoke to her over the phone. Our conversation has been edited for length and clarity.

Jailing the 24-year-old on Thursday, Judge Charles Gratwicke said an extended sentence was needed to protect the public from the high risk of danger he posed.
Clark, of Railway Street, Gillingham, will therefore have to serve two-thirds of the four-year jail term before he can apply for parole, and will be subject to an additional three years on any licence period once released.
Prosecutor Peter Forbes told Maidstone Crown Court that Clark first contacted 'Sophie' over Facebook messenger in February after her profile had been posted on social media platforms by a member of the public intending to expose paedophiles.
Clark knew from the outset that she was 13 and lived in Leeds. He used his correct age.
"He repeatedly asked for naked images of her, said he wanted to meet up after lockdown, and that he wanted to take her shopping to see her naked in the changing rooms," said Mr Forbes.
"He sent a picture of a penis claiming it was his and a video of a male masturbating, stating it was him, lasting one minute and 20 seconds."
Police were contacted by the vigilante and Clark was arrested. He was recalled to prison on February 15 but then released on May 21, only to resume contact with 'Sophie'.
The court heard he even accused her of shopping him to police but said he still wanted to be friends.
"He expressed his desire to meet up and watch her naked, asked if she wanted to see his penis and requested naked pictures," added Mr Forbes.
Clark was arrested at Fleming House bail hostel in Maidstone on June 18 and said Sophie was a Facebook friend.
"He admitted he thought she was 13, she was pretty and he had 'a thing for blondes'. He said he got sexually aroused while talking to her," said the prosecutor.
During his police interview, Clark also claimed to have sexually abused his young 'daughter'.
However, Mr Forbes said he was never charged as no such child was ever identified despite an extensive multi-agency investigation.
"His daughter is fictitious and his comments fantasy," Mr Forbes told the court.
Clark's previous convictions include inciting a child to engage in sexual activity in 2017 and three offences of sexual assault against women in 2018 and 2020.
He was also cautioned by police when he was 16 for sexual assault, and jailed for 10 months in July last year for breaching a court order by not informing his supervising probation officer he had a girlfriend.
It was following his arrest for molesting a homeless woman outside a train station in 2018 that he told police he had trouble controlling himself, the court heard.
"He said he received sexual urges in his head and wasn't sure how to curb them or when to stop, and added he was 'a sort of danger' to women," said Mr Forbes.
David Jones, defending, said Clark's messages to the decoy were 'driven by boredom and isolation', adding he never had any intention to arrange a meeting.
Passing sentence, Judge Gratwicke said young girls were 'entitled to grow up as young girls' without being sexualised and 'preyed upon' by people such as Clark.
"It is for that reason that those who do act in the manner that you did can expect to receive prison sentences to punish such behaviour and to deter others," he added.
Clark will be subject to a sexual harm prevention order and signing on the sex offender register indefinitely.

[ēr]
the organ of hearing and equilibrium. (See Plates.) It is made up of the outer (external) ear, the middle ear, and the inner (internal) ear.
The outer ear consists of the auricle or pinna and the external acoustic meatus. The auricle collects sound waves and directs them to the external acoustic meatus; from there the waves travel through the external auditory canal to the eardrum (tympanic membrane).
The middle ear is separated from the outer ear by the eardrum. It contains the three ossicles, the malleus (hammer), incus (anvil), and stapes (stirrup), so called because of their resemblance to these objects. These three small bones form a chain across the middle ear from the eardrum to the oval window. The stapes causes a membrane in the oval window to vibrate, and the vibrations are transmitted to the inner ear. The middle ear is connected to the nasopharynx by the eustachian tube, through which the air pressure in the middle ear is equalized with the air pressure in the nose and throat. The middle ear is also connected with the cells in the mastoid bone just behind the outer ear. Two muscles attached to the ossicles contract when loud noises strike the tympanic membrane, limiting its vibration and thus protecting it and the inner ear from damage.
The inner ear (or labyrinth) contains the cochlea, as well as the nerves that transmit sound to the brain. It also contains the semicircular canals, which are essential to the sense of equilibrium.
When a sound strikes the ear it causes the tympanic membrane to vibrate. The ossicles function as levers, amplifying the motion of the tympanic membrane, and passing the vibrations on to the cochlea. From there the vestibulocochlear (eighth cranial) nerve transmits the vibrations, translated into nerve impulses, to the auditory center in the brain.
Diseases of the Ear. Infections and inflammations of the ear include otomycosis, a fungal infection of the outer ear; otitis media, infection of the middle ear; and mastoiditis, an infection of the mastoid cells. deafness may result from infection or from other causes such as old age, injury to the ear, hereditary factors, or conditions such as otosclerosis. Disorders of equilibrium may be caused by imperfect functioning of the semicircular canals or from labyrinthitis, an inflammation of the inner ear. Menière's disease, believed to result from dilatation of the lymphatic channels in the cochlea, may also cause disturbances in balance.
Surgery of the Ear. Surgical procedures on the ear usually are indicated for chronic infection or hearing loss. An exception is myringotomy, incision of the tympanic membrane, which is sometimes necessary to relieve pressure behind the eardrum and allow for drainage from an inflammatory process in the middle ear. Surgical procedures involving plastic reconstruction of the small bones of the middle ear are extremely delicate and have been made possible by the development of special instruments and technical equipment. stapedectomy and tympanoplasty are examples of this type of surgery, which has done much to preserve hearing that would otherwise be lost as a result of infectious destruction or sclerosis. Inner ear implants are now being performed to improve hearing in patients who have severe sensorineural hearing loss. Other surgical techniques for sensorineural hearing loss are in the developmental stage.
Patient Care. Care following surgery of the ear is aimed at preventing infection and promoting the comfort of the patient. Since the ear is so close to the brain, it is extremely important to avoid introducing pathogenic organisms into the operative site. The external ear and surrounding skin must be kept scrupulously clean. If the patient's hair is long it should be braided or arranged so that it does not come in contact with the patient's ear and side of the face. Aseptic technique must be used in all procedures carried out immediately before and after surgery.ƒ
The patient should be instructed to avoid nose blowing, especially after surgery, when there is a possibility that such an action can alter pressure within the ear. Observation of the patient after surgery of the ear includes assessing function of the facial nerve; evidence of dysfunction could include inability to wrinkle the forehead, close the eyes, pucker the lips, or bare the teeth. Any sign of facial nerve damage should be reported to the surgeon. vertigo is another common occurrence after surgery of the ear; it is usually only temporary and will subside as the operative site heals. The patient with vertigo requires special protective measures such as side rails and support when out of bed, so as to avoid falls or other accidental injuries.
Most surgeons prefer that the dressings around the ear not be changed during the immediate postoperative period. Should excessive drainage require more dressings, these can be applied over the basic dressing. Any drainage should be noted and recorded, with excessive drainage reported immediately to the surgeon. (See also care of the patient with hearing loss.)

ear′less adj.
Etymology: AS, eare
one of two organs of hearing and balance, consisting of the external, middle, and internal ear. The external ear includes the skin-covered cartilaginous auricle visible on either side of the head and the part of the external auditory canal outside the skull. Together they form a funnel that directs sound waves toward the eardrum, or tympanic membrane, which marks the boundary between the external ear and the air-filled middle ear. The middle ear contains three very small bones, the malleus, incus, and stapes, which transmit vibrations caused by sound waves reaching the tympanic membrane to the oval window of the inner ear. The leverage of the ossicles, or middle-ear bones, increases the intensity of sound vibrations by more than 25 dB. Because the inner ear is filled with fluid, the increased intensity helps compensate for the loss of signal normally caused by sound-wave reflection of the fluid. The inner ear contains two separate organs: the vestibular apparatus, which provides the sense of balance, and the cochlea, with the organ of Corti, which receives vibrations from the middle ear and translates them into nerve impulses, which are again interpreted by brain cells as specific sounds.
Structures of the ear
Physical exam The auditory apparatus, which is divided into the external ear–a conical tube that collects sound that vibrates the tympanic membrane–the outer barrier of the middle ear, which contains the ossicles–malleus, incus, and stapes, that mechanically amplify the sound transmitted at the oval window to the cochlea; the cochlea's neuroepithelial hair cells convert the mechanical signal into an electrical/neural signal that is identified by the brain as sounds, speech, music, etc. See Blue ear, Cauliflower ear, Inner ear, Lop ear, Malrotated ear, Middle ear, Mozart ear, Outer ear, Outstanding ear, Satyr ear, Swimmer's ear, Third ear.

STRUCTURE OF THE EAR
The organ of hearing and equilibrium. It consists of outer, middle, and inner portions, and is innervated by the eighth cranial nerve. See: illustration
The pathway of hearing is as follows: the auricle funnels sound waves from the environment through the external auditory canal to the tympanic membrane, which makes this thin epithelial structure vibrate. The vibrations are transmitted to the auditory ossicles and then to the perilymph and endolymph. The receptors are part of the organ of Corti and generate impulses transmitted by the cochlear branch of the eighth cranial nerve to the spiral ganglion and auditory tracts of the brain. The auditory areas are in the temporal lobes.
The healthy human ear responds to a variety of sounds, with frequencies ranging from about 20 to 20,000 Hz. It is most sensitive, however, to sounds whose frequencies fall in the 1500- to 3000-Hz range, the frequency range of most human speech. See: hearing
The receptors for equilibrium are in the utricle, saccule, and semicircular ducts, which are innervated by the vestibular branch of the eighth cranial nerve. Impulses from the utricle and saccule provide information about the position of the head, those from the semicircular ducts about the speed and direction of three-dimensional movement.

foreign bodies in ear
Objects that enter the ear accidentally or are inserted deliberately. These are usually insects, pebbles, beans or peas, cotton swabs, or coins.
Foreign objects cause pain, ringing, or buzzing in the ear. A live insect usually causes a noise.
Water must not introduced if any vegetable matter is in the ear because the water may push the foreign body further into the ear or cause the matter to swell and become firmly embedded.
To remove insects from the ear, a few drops of lidocaine should be instilled. Inorganic foreign bodies can be removed with small forceps by a health care provider.
The chronic accumulation of a viscous exudate in the middle ear, occurring mostly in children between 5 and 8. It causes deafness, which can be treated by removal of the exudate.
STRUCTURE OF THE INNER EAR
The portion of the ear consisting of the cochlea, the vestibule, and the bony semicircular canals, which contain the receptors for static and dynamic equilibrium. The receptors are innervated by the vestibulocochlear nerve. Synonym: auris interna; Internal ear

Fig. 139 Ear . The human ear.
the sense organ of vertebrates concerned with reception of sound (hearing), BALANCE (detecting position with respect to gravity) and acceleration. The external ear is absent in amphibia and some reptiles, where the eardrum (tympanum) is at the skin surface; in other forms the external ear consists of an AUDITORY CANAL and the pinna, a projection of skin and cartilage. The middle ear or tympanic cavity (not present in some amphibians and some reptiles) lies between the ear drum and the auditory capsule. The EUSTACHIAN TUBE connects the middle ear to the pharynx; it contains the ear ossicles and lies within the bulla which is a projection of the skull. The inner ear or membranous labyrinth is contained in the auditory capsule; the utricle gives rise to the semicircular canals (for balance), and from the saccule the hearing organ arises in the form of the COCHLEA in some tetrapods.
Hearing results from sound waves striking the tympanic membrane and causing it to vibrate. The vibrations are transmitted to the oval window by means of a lever system operating between the three ear ossicles which magnify them. This disturbs the fluid in the vestibular canal of the cochlea and causes movement in REISSNER'S MEMBRANE, which then results in the fluid of the middle canal being displaced. This moves the basilar membrane and then disturbs the fluid in the tympanic canal which stretches the membrane covering the round window. Movement of the basilar membrane stimulates the organ of Corti (see COCHLEA and impulses are fired in the auditory nerve. Loud sounds cause greater movement of the basilar membrane and a higher frequency of impulses from the organ of Corti. Pitch of a sound determines the frequency of movement of the basilar membrane.
Organ of hearing and equilibrium, composed of external ear,, consisting of auricle, external acoustic meatus, and tympanic membrane; middle ear,, or tympanic cavity, with its auditory ossicles and associated muscles; and internal ear,, the vestibulocochlear organ, which includes the bony labyrinth (of semicircular canals, vestibule, and cochlea), and vestibular and cochlear labyrinths.
Synonym(s): auris.
the organ of hearing and of equilibrium. The ear is made up of the outer (external) ear, the middle ear and the inner (internal) ear. The anatomical parts of all three can be found under their specific names. See also auricular, auditory, external ear.
The outer ear consists of the auricle, or pinna, and the external acoustic meatus. The auricle collects sound waves and directs them to the external acoustic meatus which conducts them to the tympanum.
The tympanic membrane (eardrum) separates the outer ear from the middle ear. In the middle ear are the three ossicles, the malleus (hammer), incus (anvil), and stapes (stirrup), so called because of their resemblance to these objects. These three small bones form a chain across the middle ear from the tympanum to the oval window of the inner ear. The middle ear is connected to the nasopharynx by the auditory tube, through which the air pressure on the inner side of the eardrum is equalized with the air pressure on its outside surface. Two muscles attached to the ossicles contract when loud noises strike the tympanic membrane, limiting its vibration and thus protecting it and the inner ear from damage.
In the inner ear (or labyrinth) is the cochlea, containing the nerves that transmit the electrical impulses stimulated by sound to the brain. The inner ear also contains the semicircular canals, which are essential for the sense of balance. When a sound strikes the ear it causes the tympanic membrane to vibrate. The ossicles function as levers, gearing down the motion of the tympanic membrane, and passing the vibrations on to the cochlea. From there the vestibulocochlear (eighth cranial) nerve transmits the vibrations, translated into nerve impulses, to the auditory center in the brain. See also hearing.

Patient discussion about ear
Q. Tinnitus (Ringing and Other Ear Noise) Anybody have this problem? Urrrrrrrrrrr, I think I want to shoot myself,you know what I mean. It is worst than the chinese torture. Someone, please send me a good tip how to stop it. I have this for 4 yrs and it is driving me crazy. You cannot enjoy total complete silence. They say silence is golden but not when you have this ringgi in your ears. It gets worst when there is no noise. The only remedy I have is eating hot spicy curry, it helps for 2-3 wks and then it comes back again and then eating spicy food again. Listening to classical music helps to. Oh well.....just have to suck it up.
A. I've read that lipoflavinoids can help.
Q. What causes high pitch ringing in one ear?
