Any fluid that is present is then aspirated, the tube of choice inserted, and the ear packed with cotton to control any slight bleeding that might occur. This is known as conventional (or "cold knife") myringotomy and usually heals in one to two days. A new variation (called "tympanolaserostomy" or "laser-assisted tympanostomy") uses CO laser, and is performed with a computer-driven laser and a video monitor to pinpoint a precise location for the hole. The laser takes one tenth of a
Body part as an object aphasics have been put forward since then, including intellectual degradation, and the inability to carry out pretended actions. Denny-Brown takes a more holistic approach and suggested ideational apraxia results from diffuse brain damage. Body part as object is a relatively new concept in scientific literature. Past studies have suggested that BPO pantomimes may allow aphasics to avoid an impaired cognitive function. By not having to reproduce a movement outside of the usual context, they can have a more vivid experience of acting on an object. What is known as BPO pantomiming in children was first discussed in Goodglass and Kaplan’s
