    Abstract Background: Cholesteatoma often presents with persistent otorrhoea, conductive hearing loss or vestibular dysfunction. Rarely, cholesteatoma can cause dysgeusia if the lesion invades into the chorda tympani nerve. This paper presents an individual with cholesteatoma whose dysgeusia resolved following a mastoidectomy in which the chorda tympani was sacrificed. The current literature was reviewed for explanations behind this phenomenon.
    Case report: A previously fit 57-year-old man presented with a 3-month history of persistent otorrhoea and the complaint of a metallic taste in the mouth, and was diagnosed with cholesteatoma. The patient underwent radical mastoidectomy and the chorda tympani nerve was sacrificed. On post-operative review, he reported complete resolution of dysgeusia.
    Conclusion: The sense of taste is mediated by a complex neural network. It is possible that once the diseased chorda tympani is transected, compensation arises from other parts of the network. Sectioning of the chorda tympani could lead to a beneficial outcome in selected patients.

    Abstract Background: Spontaneous regression is defined as the partial or complete disappearance of a malignant tumour proven by microscopic examination in the absence of any substantial treatment. This paper presents the case of an older woman whose advanced-stage tonsillar squamous cell carcinoma was noted to have spontaneously regressed at seven months.
    Case report: A 66-year-old woman presented with a 4-month history of dysphagia and odynophagia in September 2020. An exophytic tumour was seen on the right tonsil; this was diagnosed radiologically and histologically as a squamous cell carcinoma of the tonsils, with tumour-node-metastasis staging of T
    Conclusion: Several mechanisms of spontaneous regression are discussed. Further studies should review this case in conjunction with other reports of spontaneous tumour regressions, to elucidate underlying mechanisms.

    Abstract Aim: Nationally, concern has been raised about the overuse of diagnostic testing. In patients with unilateral otalgia and no history of Head and Neck Cancer (HNC), 1% had a malignancy detected on imaging that was not detected on clinical examination.
    Methods: We performed a retrospective review of "MRI soft tissue neck" scans performed at our hospital from May 2020 to May 2021. Patients were excluded if their scan was not ordered for HNC symptoms. Previous HNC patients undergoing follow-up imaging were also included.
    Results: In total, 326 scan requests were analyzed. Of the 132 patients without clinical features of overt disease, only one received a new diagnosis of HNC. This patient had previously had a HNC and was undergoing routine follow-up imaging.
    Conclusion: Our data demonstrate that performing MRI scans in symptomatic patients with a normal examination, FNE, and no history of HNC does not benefit the diagnosis or management of these patients.

    Abstract Only a week after joining the 8th Durhams in April 1915 Private Herbert Tustin was captured at the Battle of Ypres. He describes the horror of trench warfare, his treatment on being taken a POW and the three day train journey into Germany.

There followed 16 months captivity at Rennbahn POW Camp with its hunger, hardships, brutality, work regime, friendships, humour and the different national characteristics of fellow POWs.

In late summer 1916 together with a Canadian POW, Gerrie Burk, the author escaped over the wire. For the next 10 days travelling by night, sleeping rough and stealing basi

  7. Article: The effect of plant size and spray volume on the efficacy of Aviglycine in the inhibition of natural flowering of 'queen' pineapple (Ananas Comosus) in South Africa

    Abstract Ninety percent of South Africa's fresh market pineapples are produced in Hluhluwe and consists of the 'Queen' cultivar. Managing the crop to produce pineapples all year round is achieved by planting the correct size of planting material at a certain planting time and manipulating the harvesting date by the artificial induction of flowering while applying standard cultivation practices for nutrition and crop protection. Natural induction of flowering is a severe problem for the pineapple grower and can result in serious losses. In Northern Kwazulu Natal, natural flowering occurs during the winter months (May-August), yielding an over-production of fruit in December/January with consequently lower market prices. It affects crop management, increases harvesting cost due to multiple harvesting actions and can affect fruit quality. The main environmental factors responsible for natural flower induction are photoperiod (short days) and low temperatures but radiation and water supply can also play a role. The susceptibility of the pineapple plant to natural flowering is related to the age and the size of the plant. Aviglycine, an ethylene biosynthesis inhibitor, proved to control natural flowering to less than 2% at 100 mg L-1 applied in a spray volume of 1500 L/ha every fortnight. These application rates are costly and a series of trials were conducted to evaluate more cost effective application rates. The effect of plant size and planting time on the efficacy of treatments were also evaluated. It was found that by increasing the spray volume from 1500 to 3000 L/ha, and not increasing the amount of Aviglycine to apply a specific concentration of product (mg L-1), the dosage per hectare could be reduced. Plant size is also critical and therefore plantings made between November and January should be planted with smaller plants for Aviglycine treatments to be effective.

    Abstract Natural differentiation of flowering is a severe problem in the production of ‘Queen’ pineapples destined for the fresh market in South Africa. Natural flowering is mainly induced by short days/long nights and low temperatures, but total radiation and extremes in water supply can also play a role. In Northern Kwazulu Natal, natural flowering occurs during the winter months (May, June), yielding an over-production of fruit in December/January with consequently lower market prices. Chemical control of natural flowering with [2-(m-chlorophenoxy), propionic acid] (Swelpine) had the adverse effect of stunting the plants and reducing sucker growth, therefore affecting available planting material. Trials were also done with aviglycine, an ethylene biosynthesis inhibitor. In a 2008 study aviglycine at 100 mg L-1, applied every two weeks from May to the end of July (6 applications), reduced natural flowering from 33.5% in the control to 1.5%. When aviglycine was applied before and after a predicted cold front (3-4 applications), natural flowering was reduced to 2.2%. Two more trials were done in 2009 with 60 and 100 mg L-1, sprayed at 7 and 14 day intervals. Sprays of 100 mg L-1 at 7-day intervals in two trials resulted in 0.5 and 0% natural flowering, while 100 mg L-1 sprays at 14-day intervals reduced natural flowering to 2% (control = 45 and 14%). These application rates are thought very costly and therefore more cost effective application rates were evaluated in further trials.
