Hôtel Lancaster
7, rue de Berri, Paris, France
Neighborhood: 8th Arr. (Champs-Elysées/Madeleine)
Check availability as rates may vary for dates. Best rate guaranteed.
In general if it's classic Parisian pomp you're after, you're headed to one of the big luxury hotels. This town has no shortage of them, and they're among the most opulent in the Western world. The boutique hotels tend to be more contemporary, often a bit minimalist — but one boutique in particular can out-classic the classics, and that's the Hotel Lancaster.
When the Lancaster opened its doors the phrase "boutique hotel" hadn't yet been invented — but that's more or less what it's always been. Back in the Emile Wolf days it was the sort of place you'd catch the likes of Grace Kelly or Noël Coward haunting its halls. Today, under the direction of the Spanish Hospes group, it's scarcely lost any of its glamour. In spite of a location just off the Champs-Elysées, the Lancaster is quiet, the way a classic hotel ought to be. Rooms are stocked with antiques, many of them collected by the original owner, and the marble bathrooms are decked out in a well-preserved Art Deco style.
The service is impeccable, erring more on the side of quiet discretion than overt solicitousness. La Table du Lancaster is the hotel's Michelin-starred restaurant, and the Thirties-inspired salon is an elegant step up from the typical hotel bar. Most magical, however, is the Lancaster's little garden, a rare bit of private outdoor peace in the heart of bustling Paris.
Please note: The hotel's restaurant is closed on Saturdays and Sundays.

What I liked:
We stayed in junior suites facing Rue Berri; and absolutely loved the spacious rooms and fireplace in both living room and bedroom. We had plenty of space and two bathrooms which was great considering our children were staying with us. Our favorite part of staying at the Lancaster was the excellent and personal service we received specially from Jeremy !!

Voice Menus and IVR in AsteriskNOW
Interactive Voice Response (IVR)-enabled telephony platforms are the pivot elements of the telephony industry. You must be familiar with several IVR telephony platform—your cellular provider's top-up system, your bank's call distribution system, or your Internet service provider's technical support line—IVR systems are everywhere. As you may already know, IVR systems can be a hell to use, but as Winston Churchill said, you just have to keep on going to get to your destination.
In this article by Nir Simionovich, we will learn about the human dynamics of IVR systems, the implementation and the deployment of an IVR environment to your AsteriskNOW PBX system.Read Voice Menus and IVR in AsteriskNOW in full
JBI Binding Components in NetBeans IDE 6
In this article we will take a closer look at JBI components, discuss binding component (BC), and look at the support that NetBeans Enterprise Pack provides for these components. In the previous article we saw the need for JBI, JBI concepts and components—Service Engines, these can be referred for clarity.
In this article by David Salter and Frank Jennings, we will discuss:
- The role of binding components in JBI Container
- NetBeans Support for binding components
- File BC
Deployment of Reports with BIRT
Deployment answers the need to have the generated reports reach the relevant user.In this article by John Ward, we are going to look at two different Deployment options available. We will look at the BIRT Viewer for J2EE that comes with the BIRT Runtime and is embedded into the BIRT Eclipse IDE, and we are also going to look at a basic Java application that implements the Report Engine API to run reports. We will also cover the command-line tools that come with the BIRT Runtime for executing reports.Read Deployment of Reports with BIRT in full
SOA with Service Component Architecture and Enterprise Service Bus
In this article by Vincenzo Caselli, Binildas A. Christudas, and Malhar Barai, we will cover the following topics in SOA with Java:
- Service Component Architecture (SCA)
- Introduction to message-oriented middleware (MOM)
- Enterprise Service Bus (ESB)—The new architecture style
- Introduction to OpenESB
Java Data Objects and Service Data Objects in SOA
Every enterprise user is interested in information and every information starts from the basic building block, data. Data can reside in any data store, and can exist in many formats. Irrespective of that, you need to bring data to your table, do some massaging with your business use cases, and supply them as information. In this article by Vincenzo Caselli, Binildas A. Christudas, and Malhar Barai, we will see how Java Data Objects (JDO) can be used as an alternative to JDBC. We will also have a look at the Service Data Objects (SDO) in SOA.Read Java Data Objects and Service Data Objects in SOA in full
SOA with Java Business Integration (part 1)
Integration has been an area for specialists for years, since no standards exist across vendor products. This increases the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) to implement and maintain any integration solution. Even though integration is a necessary evil, CIOs and IT managers postpone decisions and actions, and sometimes go for ad-hoc or temporary solutions. Any such activity will complicate the already confused stove pipes and it is the need of the hour to have standardization. Here we are going to inspect the need of another standard for business integration, and also look into the details of what this standard is all about.
In this article by Binildas C. A, we will look at:
- Service oriented architecture in the context of integration
- Relationship between web services and SOA
- Service oriented integration
- J2EE, JCA, and JBI—how they relate
- Introduction to JBI
- JBI Nomenclature—main components in JBI
SOA with Java Business Integration (part 2)
In Part 1, we saw that JBI is a great enabler for SOA because it defines ESB architecture. It provides for loosely coupled integration by separating out the providers and consumers to mediate through the bus.In this part of the article by Binildas C. A, we will look at the Provider—Consumer Contract and Message Exchange Patterns. We will also consider the different options provided.Read SOA with Java Business Integration (part 2) in full
Testing a Save As Dialog in Java using Swing
In this article by Tim Lavers and Lindsay Peters, we will be studying in detail the test for an extremely simple user interface component. It will involve UI Wrappers for components as a way of safely and easily manipulating them in tests and specific techniques for reading the state of our user interfaces. Although the component that we'll be testing in this article is simple, it will still allow us to introduce a few specific techniques for testing Swing user interfaces. It will also provide us with an excellent opportunity for showing the basic infrastructure that needs to be built into these kinds of tests.Read Testing a Save As Dialog in Java using Swing in full
Access Control in PHP5 CMS - Part 1
Many websites will want to control who has access to what. Once embarked on this route, it turns out there are many situations where access control is appropriate, and they can easily become very complex. So in this two part article by Martin Brampton, we look at the most highly regarded model–role-based access control (RBAC)–and find ways to implement it. The aim is to achieve a flexible and efficient implementation that can be exploited by increasingly sophisticated software. To show what is going on, the example of a file repository extension is used.Read Access Control in PHP5 CMS - Part 1 in full
Access Control in PHP5 CMS - Part 2
In Part 1, we had a look at the Discussion and Considerations of highly flexible role-based access control system (RBAC).

Installation and basic features of EnterpriseDB
Postgres is the well known and most used Open Source OLTP database available today. EnterpriseDB sits atop Postgres and leverages it to provide enterprise capabilities to Postgres users. EnterpriseDB is available for Windows platform as well. It has most of the necessary features of an enterprise class such as advanced development, monitoring, migration and administrative tools with a stable environment. It also has plug-in capabilities for Oracle. In the present form EnterpriseDB claims cost effectiveness versus Oracle and better scalability than MySQL. It can easily integrate with most applications such as Java, Ajax, Ruby, Drupal etc. This article by Dr. Jayaram Krishnaswamy mainly describes the installation of EnterpriseDB and the basic features to get started on this important database product.Read Installation and basic features of EnterpriseDB in full
Binding Web Services in ESB—Web Services Gateway
Since SOI (Service Oriented Integration) is all about integrating multiple SOA-based systems, web services play a critical role in the integration space. This article is all about the importance of web services in integration. We will use the samples to illustrate how to bind web services with the ServiceMix ESB to facilitate integration.
In this article by Binildas A. Christudas, we will cover the following:
- Web services and binding
- Introduction to HTTP
- ServiceMix's servicemix-http component
- The consumer and provider roles for the ServiceMix JBI components
- servicemix-http in the consumer and provider roles
- Web service binding (Gateway) sample

Textures in Blender
In this article by Allan Brito, we will learn how to use textures to give our materials more realism. The biggest problem of working with textures is actually finding or creating a good texture. That's why, its highly recommended that you start as soon as possible to create your own texture library. Textures are mostly image files, which represent certain kinds of surfaces such as wood or stone. They work like wallpaper, which we can place on a surface or object. For instance, if we place an image of wood on a plane, it will give the impression that the plane is made of wood. That's the main principle of using textures. We will make an object look like something in the real world using a texture. For some projects, we may need a special kind of texture, which won't be found in a common library. So we will have to take a picture ourselves, or buy an image from someone. But don't worry, because often we deal with common surfaces that have common textures too.Read Textures in Blender in full

Her name is actually Lady Beatrice of Hemlock Hollow, to be precise, and she isn't your typical ski patroller. Bee is an avalanche rescue dog, a specially trained pup who uses her keen sense of smell to locate people buried beneath the snow. Bee is also one of the first generation of Telluride avalanche rescue dogs to benefit from a new nonprofit organization created in their honor –Telluride Avalanche Dogs, or TAD.
"We're doing this in an effort to support these dogs, who have been here for years and years, and who aren't really supported by any particular entity other than the dedication of their owners," explains Kim Richard, Bee's owner and handler. Richard and her husband, Gary, both longtime dog handlers and Telluride Ski Patrollers, founded TAD this winter, in an effort to provide financial and foundational support for Telluride's hardworking rescue dogs.
Bee is one of five rescue dogs that call the Telluride Ski Resort's slopes home; dogs who play a unique and vital role in mountain rescue and safety education efforts in the Telluride community.
On any given day Bee, or one of her canine coworkers, Bajuko, Doris, Wiley or rookie rescuer Mona, can be called upon to assist in locating a person buried by an avalanche. Luckily, in-bounds avalanches involving the public are extremely rare in Telluride, but off-piste avalanches are an unfortunate
(and unfortunately familiar) consequence of the San Juan Mountains' notoriously unstable snowpack. Oftentimes,
ski patrollers' rescue dogs are among the first line of volunteers dispatched to organized avalanche rescue efforts in the region's backcountry.
These dogs are trained to perform under pressure in rescue situations, providing a fast and effective means of locating buried avalanche victims – often faster and more effectively than their human counterparts. Even when outfitted with the industry's most advanced technological rescue tools (like avalanche transceivers), mere humans, when searching for a buried avalanche victim, are usually no match for a dog, who uses nothing more than her highly evolved sense
of smell to locate the exact site of a burial.
But a rescue dog's overall role transcends her job as a rescuer on the scene of an avalanche. Telluride's avalanche dogs have historically played a significant part in educating the community, and especially the region's schoolchildren, about
mountain safety.
In his short film Lady B's First Winter: A Puppy's Journey to Rescue Dog, local filmmaker Scott Ransom shows a scene in which Bee is the honored guest at the Telluride Schools' annual Ski P.E. Awareness talk. The camera pans from Bee and speaker
Gary Richard to the horde of gathered elementary-school students, whose eyes are all trained on their special four-legged guest.
"They bridge quite a gap in the community," Gary Richard says of the dogs' role in mountain safety education. Richard has been involved in the Ski P.E. and mountain safety education initiatives for more than 25 years, when he brought his first rescue puppy, Jane, to the Telluride Schools in the mid-1980s.
"By bringing these avi dogs to school to talk about mountain safety or avalanches, we've got these kids' attention. She's helping us get the message out of, 'Hey, let's be safe,'" Richard says.
Traditionally, the Richard's and TSP's other dog handlers have participated in off-mountain avalanche rescues and educational programs strictly as volunteers. Now TAD will help provide the funding for such training and education to continue, while also providing the framework for supporters to give back to these hardworking canines.
"This will provide a more formalized institution that the community can count on," Gary Richard says, "while providing the structure so that these dogs can count on the community" for financial support that will go toward training, equipment, medical and insurance costs, ongoing education, scholarships, and more. As a nonprofit organization, TAD can now organize fundraisers and accept donations to support Telluride avalanche dogs' many efforts, both on and off the hill.
"The rescue dogs come and go, but the program remains an important part of the community. TAD will allow us to provide that uniformity and consistency, so that our rescue dog program can stay viable through the years," Kim Richard explains. "It gives us this knowledge that people are out there who want to help in this effort, but it also gives people a great sense of satisfaction, knowing that now they can help the dogs too. I mean, who doesn't love a dog?"
For more information about TAD, or to contribute, call 970/728-7586, or stop by a Telluride Ski Patrol stations on the mountain, to buy a TAD T-shirt; donate $25 or more for a Lady B DVD.

Advertisers were given their first big glimpse of the fall TV schedule Monday as NBC launched the annual Upfront Week in Manhattan.

The truth is, of course, that few shows manage to be great and/or popular. One could even call this a sad truth.
But, to be philosophical, nothing ventured, nothing gained – and NBC could use some gaining. After applying advanced critical theorem to the brief clips presented at Radio City Music Hall, I would say these shows showed the most potential:

Steve Carell has said himself that he had trouble letting go of his Office character Michael Scott. So how will the show's loyal viewers react to a new boss ruling the Dunder Mifflin roost?
NBC announced Wednesday that Boston Legal actor and former Brat-Packer James Spader, 51, will replace Carell on the hit show.
As the CEO of Sabre, the parent company of Dunder Mifflin, "James will reprise his role as Robert California, this uber-salesman that has a power to convince and manipulate, like a high-class weirdo Jedi warrior," Paul Lieberstein, an executive producer and a series regular said in a statement.

"Sex, Lies and Videotape" actor James Spader, who has made a career out of playing smarmy Yuppies, is in final talks to join ABC's "The Practice" now that the show is replacing outgoing cast members Dylan McDermott, Lara Flynn Boyle, Kelli Williams, Lisa Gay Hamilton, Marla Sokoloff and Chyler Leigh.

Health of the nation
The University has an important role to play in promoting and protecting the health of the nation. This is most obvious through the work of the Schools in our College of Medicine, Biology, Life and Health Sciences which undertake internationally distinguished biomedical, clinical and health services research and provide professional education and training in medicine, dentistry, pharmacy, optometry, nursing and the allied professions.
However the scope and importance of the University's all-Wales health care role extends far beyond this and many other Schools of the University make important contributions.
Welsh Medical History
From earliest times Wales has enjoyed an honoured place in the history of British Medicine.
In Llangian churchyard in the Llyn peninsula there is an ancient stone dating from the fifth or sixth centuries commemorating Melus, the earliest British doctor whose name we know. Dating back to the 13th century generations of the 'Physicians of Myddfai' made a remote Carmarthenshire village a centre of research and healing centuries before the advent of modern medicine. Buried in Cilgerran church, Pembrokeshire, is Thomas Phaer, author of the 'Boke of Chyldren' (1541), the first work in English on childcare.
Nearer the present day Wales is proud to acknowledge as its own Beti Cadwaladr who, late in life, qualified as a nurse and performed deeds of heroism during the Crimean War, and Dr William Price, who was not only Wales's greatest eccentric but was also an eminent surgeon and the man whose actions led to the legalisation of cremation in this country.
Aneurin Bevan, inspired by the egalitarian principles on which the Tredegar Working Men's Medical Aid Society had been based, applied socialist zeal and Welsh determination to create the National Health Service in 1948, the most far-reaching piece of social legislation in British history.
Deputy Vice-Chancellor and Provost of the Wales College of Medicine, Biology, Health and Life Sciences convened, in November 2002, the first of what have become regular meetings of the Medical History Forum, attended by 34 people, professional historians, doctors, museum curators, archivists and enthusiastic amateurs, all fired with the conviction that the History of Medicine, particularly Welsh Medicine, deserves a higher profile than it currently enjoys, not least among the general public, and that strategies need to be formulated to ensure that medical archives and artefacts of historical importance are preserved for posterity.
In the long run it is hoped that developments at the Cardiff Royal Infirmary will address some of these aspirations, but a number of practical short-term initiatives were proposed, including a possible one-day conference celebrating the central role of Wales as the birthplace and guardian of the National Health Service.

Nothing Beats Biscuits Swimming In Gravy
Biscuits are usually reserved for fancy dinners or fast food breakfasts. But they're just as delicious soaked in gravy for a weeknight dinner.
Sometimes you just need a slice of bread or a roll to eat with your chicken dinner. It just makes the meal complete. And the best type of bread is a biscuit that's soaked in the gravy the chicken was cooked in. I always considered chicken and biscuits a winter meal, but this comfort food is yummy all year-round. And with so many delicious fresh vegetables, especially rainbow carrots, available at the farmers market now, it's actually a perfect choice for a summer family meal.

More Information
Need Help Selecting a Racquet? SquashGalaxy Exclusive Racquet Ratings.
If you're unsure about your model or weight...try our DEMO program.
Our favorite Squash wrap grip is the Gamma Hi Tec. It's only $8 to have it installed at the time of purchase. It has a great tacky feel and sticks to your hand even when it gets wet.
The Tecnifibre 305 17g string upgrade is recommended because factory string is less playable/durable then the Tecnifibre 305 17g string we suggest.At the time of purchase, the Tecnifibre 305 17g restring upgrade is $21.95. It's normally $36 if you mailed the racquet to us later so you save $14 if you choose the upgrade right away. The tecnifibre will fray before it breaks and that's completely normal so don't worry about it!
If you choose a vibration dampener go with the Silencer (Our favorite), Head Smart Sorb, Head Megasorb, or the BBB (Big Bad Band).
A question we get everyday is "What is Grommet Tape?" It's a piece of tape that goes over the head (bumper) of your racquet. Sometimes you need a restring because of a broken bumper. For an extra buck to add this, it could save you $25-40!!
We recommend an overgrip for players that tend a sweat a lot, want to build up a grip, or wear through wrap grips very often. An overgrip is thinner and wears quicker than re-grips, but can be changed much quicker and easier than a re-grip. We recommend the Wilson Pro Overgrip, but for those looking for the best sweat absorption, durability, and feel... the Overgrip/ Re-grip gives the best combination. Note** when an overgrip is installed, you will not be able to see the re-grip if chose to have it installed.
We get follow up calls/emails everyday thanking us for the upgrades as they really help bring out the performance of the racquet.

Why Get Tested?
To help diagnose and monitor treatment for a serotonin-secreting carcinoid tumor
When to Get Tested?
When you have symptoms suggestive of a carcinoid tumor such as flushing, diarrhea, and/or wheezing, and at intervals following treatment
Sample Required?
A 24-hour urine sample; rarely a random urine sample
Test Preparation Needed?
You may be instructed to avoid certain foods and medications prior to this test.
The Test Sample
What is being tested?
This test measures the amount of 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid (5-HIAA) in the urine. 5-HIAA is the primary metabolite of serotonin, a chemical derived from the amino acid tryptophan. Serotonin is produced as needed by the nervous system, mainly the brain, but also special cells in the bronchial tubes (lungs) and gastrointestinal (GI) tract. It helps transmit nerve impulses and constrict blood vessels, participates in the wake-sleep cycle, and affects mood. After it is used by the body, serotonin is broken down in the liver, and its metabolites, including 5-HIAA, are excreted in the urine.
Ordinarily, only small varying amounts of 5-HIAA are present in the urine. Large quantities of serotonin and 5-HIAA may be produced, however, by some carcinoid tumors. Carcinoid tumors are slow-growing noncancerous or cancerous neuroendocrine masses that can form in the GI tract, on the appendix, and in the lungs. About 2 out of every 3 carcinoids are found in the GI tract with most of the rest occurring in the lungs, though they may affect other organs as well. According to the American Cancer Society, there are about 11,000 to 12,000 neuroendocrine tumors or cancers diagnosed each year in United States. Many more of these tumors may exist, but most remain small and do not cause any symptoms. When carcinoid tumors are discovered in asymptomatic patients during surgical procedures performed for other reasons, they are called "incidental" tumors. A small percentage of these tumors may eventually grow large enough to cause obstructions in the intestines or bronchial tubes of the lungs.
About 10% of carcinoid tumors, primarily those found in the GI tract with liver involvement, will produce enough serotonin to cause symptoms, such as flushing of the face, diarrhea, a rapid heart rate, and wheezing, which are referred to as carcinoid syndrome. The serotonin that causes carcinoid syndrome may be released continuously or intermittently and can lead to significantly increased quantities of 5-HIAA in the urine.
How is the sample collected for testing?
For the 24-hour urine collection, all of the urine should be saved for a 24-hour period. It is best to keep the sample in a cool, dark place, such as a refrigerator.
NOTE: If undergoing medical tests makes you or someone you care for anxious, embarrassed, or even difficult to manage, you might consider reading one or more of the following articles: Coping with Test Pain, Discomfort, and Anxiety, Tips on Blood Testing, Tips to Help Children through Their Medical Tests, and Tips to Help the Elderly through Their Medical Tests.
Another article, Follow That Sample, provides a glimpse at the collection and processing of a blood sample and throat culture.
Is any test preparation needed to ensure the quality of the sample?
Pre-sample preparation is important for accurate 5-HIAA test results. Foods such as avocados, bananas, pineapples, plums, walnuts, tomatoes, kiwi fruit, and eggplant can interfere with 5-HIAA measurement and should be avoided for 3 days prior to and during urine collection. There are also a variety of drugs that can affect the 5-HIAA test, but you should talk to your doctor before decreasing or discontinuing any medications.

Mountain lions are misunderstood creatures, here are a few mountain lion facts that many people don't know. The mountain lion population is neither threatened, endangered, or at risk, and they are the most broadly distributed large mammal species in North America. The mountain lion population is increasing over most of its current range, and this is due mostly to two factors.

Anti-Virus for Coxmail subscribers
Last Updated: Fri, 22 Apr 2011 > Related Articles
Learn more about protecting yourself from receiving hazardous computer viruses via email.
How CoxMail anti-virus works:
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How can I avoid getting a virus?
A: Viruses are designed not only to infect you, but also to spread themselves. Some viruses read your email address book, and email themselves to everyone in the book. Other viruses attach themselves to every outgoing email. Below are a few simple steps to help you avoid receiving a virus:
Q: What can I do if I get a virus?
A: Stop! Do as little as possible on your computer, every click could spread the infected program. Immediately update your anti-virus software, and run a full virus scan on your computer. If your virus scanning software is properly updated it should remove the infected files.
Q: Will I receive notification if my computer tries to send out a virus via email?
A: Since most email sent by viruses has a fake 'reply' address, Cox cannot alert the sending reply address.
Q: How do I turn on the anti-virus for my mail hosted by Cox?
A: Anti-virus is set to ON by default on the CoxMail server, eliminating the need to manually set this function.
Q: What if I get a virus while using Cox's anti-virus software?
A: Please forward the virus as an attachment to firstname.lastname@example.com.
Q: How often is Cox's anti-virus software updated?
A: Cox Mail servers receive updates as soon as new definitions are available.
Q: Will Cox's anti-virus software prevent my computer from infection?
A: Email is just one of many methods that transmit viruses. Other activities, such as retrieving programs from file sharing software or downloading programs from popular websites can also lead to viruses. CoxMail anti-virus is one defense against these malicious programs. See "How can I avoid getting viruses?" for additional information on protecting your computer.
Q: Can I still use the Anti-virus product I installed on my computer?
A: Yes, Cox recommends that you install an anti-virus program on every computer in your business establishment and keep all virus definitions up-to-date. An anti-virus program on your computer, along with the CoxMail anti-virus, will position you best against malicious viruses and worms.

Self-harm (CG16)
self harm
Fast, easy summary view of NICE guidance on 'self harm'
Self-harm: The short-term physical and psychological management and secondary prevention of self-harm in primary and secondary care
In November 2011 the following recommendations were replaced with recommendations from Self-harm: longer-term management (NICE clinical guideline CG133): recommendations 184.108.40.206 and 126.96.36.199 on assessment of risk, 220.127.116.11 on special issues for children and young people, and 220.127.116.11 on psychological, psychosocial and pharmacological interventions.
Recommendation 188.8.131.52 on psychological, psychosocial and pharmacological interventions has been withdrawn.
The NICE clinical guideline on self-harm covers:
- the care people who harm themselves can expect to receive from healthcare professionals in hospital and out of hospital
- the information they can expect to receive
- what they can expect from treatment
- what kinds of services best help people who harm themselves
The guideline does not attempt to explain self-harm or describe the treatment in detail.

Feline Ear Discomfort - Causes
Apart from the difference in frequency, cats and dogs are susceptible to practically the same types of infections of the external ear. For example, cat ear mites maybe a less common occurrence than dog ear mites, but when infested, they can lead to similar symptoms and develop into serious conditions in both animals if not attended to in time.
Minor Irritations - The first sign of discomfort in cats is scratching caused by an infestation of parasites, infection, injury or an allergic reaction. Some of the conditions are a direct cause of excessive scratching and itching when an initial sign of ear discomfort is ignored by cat owners.
Ear Mites - These are small external parasites that look like crabs. Ear mites in cats are easy to eliminate and this can be done simply by cleaning the ear regularly. However, in the absence of a timely intervention, they can lead to bacterial and fungal infections. In severe conditions, mites can move further to the inner ear and rupture the tympanic membrane (ear drum). This may lead to seizures and deafness.
Bacterial and Fungal Infections - These are secondary infections and often a direct result of ear mites and poor grooming by owners. Ear mites create an environment that promotes yeast and bacteria within the ear canal. Since cats naturally resist ear infections, by the time you take the cat to the veterinarian, the mites may have vanished. It's important to make sure that there is no secondary infection remaining.
Polyps - Polyps are small vascular growths that usually occur in cat ears and can lead to symptoms similar to ear mites like scratching and irritation. These need to be removed surgically for fear that they may lead to permanent damage or the inability to walk straight.
Hematomas - These are one of the numerous secondary conditions caused by excessive scratching that lead to rupture of an external ear blood vessel. The vessel swells and fills with blood which, in extreme manifestations, can block the ear canal totally.
Chronic Conditions - All primary infections need to be attended to seriously. If left untreated, all can develop into severe and chronic infections. Chronic infections can potentially affect a cats' immune system and lead to life threatening conditions.
Prognosis of ear infections in cats is extremely encouraging. With proper diagnosis and treatment, nearly all infections can be cured. Ear discomfort always has an underlying condition that causes it. If the underlying disease or infection is not identified properly in its early stages, it can prove to be detrimental to the overall health of the cat.
Prevention is the best remedy for keeping ear infections at bay. Home remedies for dog ear mites , like vinegar or mineral oil solutions, can play a pivotal role in eliminating primary infections. Regular grooming with extra care to cleaning cat ears can help in avoiding discomfort to your cat due to ear problems.
