The width, length and height of the lower turbinate, the breadth, length and height of the internal nasal passage, height of the inferior airway, breadth of common and inferior meatus were compared.Results: The group from dry climate has narrower internal nasal passage breadth (p = .010) with wider inferior meatus width (p = .031). No dimensional difference in the lower turbinates was observed between the two climatic groups. These two findings indicate a more lateralized turbinates in the humid group as opposed to more centralized turbinates in the dry group.Conclusions: Humidity has an effect as a climatic factor on turbinate positioning in the nasal fossa and contribute to an overall pattern of ecogeographic variation of nose. It may be useful to review surgical interventions to the inferior turbinate in the light of this information.","PeriodicalId":6880,"journal":{"name":"Acta Oto-Laryngologica","volume":" ","pages":"319-323"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2025-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143373440","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Subjective severity of AR was assessed using the Total Nasal Symptom Score (TNSS) and visual analog scale (VAS). Potential LPRD was assessed using the Reflux Symptom Index (RSI) and SPC measurements.Results: No significant correlation was found between the RSI value and the TNSS and VAS values (both p > .05). In contrast, the SPC value was found to be significantly associated with both of TNSS and VAS values (p < .05). Among the symptoms included in the TNSS, the SPC value was significantly and positively associated with nasal congestion and runny nose (both p < .05), but not with sneezing and nasal itching (both p > .05).Conclusions and significance: Coexisting LPRD may aggravates seasonal AR symptoms.

However, a sharp increase was observed in 2023 (raw number: +42.9%, incidence: +1.63‰) when the pandemic officially ended. The number of patients newly diagnosed with sudden sensorineural hearing loss (SSNHL) gradually increased during the pandemic period.Conclusions and significance: Restrictive measures to control COVID-19 spread positively influenced the reduction in the incidence of OME.

The need for additional HPV-DNA testing is debated.Aims/objectives: We evaluated the prognostic value of HPV-DNA in situ hybridization (ISH) as an adjunct to p16.Material and methods: A population-based cohort of 1,033 head and neck squamous cell carcinoma patients was used, to identify 124 OPSCC patients treated with a curative intent.Results: Of the p16-positive patients, 17.9% did not show evidence for presence of HPV-DNA in ISH. Both p16 and HPV-DNA ISH were significant prognostic factors for overall survival (OS), disease-specific survival (DSS) and disease-free survival (DFS) when used independently. When combining information from p16 IHC and HPV-DNA ISH, survival of the p16+/ISH- discordant patients was intermediate compared to the p16+/ISH+ and p16-/ISH- groups. In the discordant group, smoking was a strong prognostic determinator, with non-smokers having an outstanding prognosis.Conclusions and significance: Both p16 IHC and HPV-DNA ISH perform well as separate prognostic biomarkers for OS, DSS, and DFS on a population level. However, a discordant group does exist. Limiting HPV-DNA testing for p16-positive patients who smoke by the time of diagnosis may be a cost-efficient and justified solution.","PeriodicalId":6880,"journal":{"name":"Acta Oto-Laryngologica","volume":" ","pages":"340-347"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2025-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143381382","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Numerous studies have identified mutations in MYO15A in humans, analyzed their presence and co-segregation, and predicted their pathogenicity using software tools. However, few have investigated the pathogenic mechanisms of these mutations using mouse models. In a prior study, we identified the MYO15A c.2482 C > T mutation as a potential causative gene for deafness in a Uygur family from Xinjiang. To further explore the pathogenicity and mechanisms of this mutation, we constructed a mouse model harboring the Myo15a c.2455A > T mutation. This study demonstrates that mice with the Myo15a c.2455A > T spot knock-in exhibit the abnormal hair cell morphology, dysfunction, and hearing loss phenotype observed in humans.Objectives: To investigate the pathogenic mechanism of deafness caused by MYO15A c.2482C > T mutation.Material and methods: To assess the impact of the MYO15A mutation on hair cell morphology and function, mice underwent audiological tests, quantitative real-time PCR, scanning electron microscopy, immunofluorescence, and Western blot analysis.Results: The p.Arg819* mutation located in the N-terminal domain of MYO15A showed marked differences in hair cell morphology and function between homozygous mutant mice and normal controls. Notably, the homozygous mutant mice retained residual hearing up to approximately five weeks of age.Conclusions and significance: Our findings confirm that Myo15a c.2455A > T spot knock-in mice replicate the abnormal hair cell morphology and dysfunction, as well as the hearing loss phenotype. Additionally, our results indicate that the novel c.2482C > T variant in the MYO15A gene can cause inner ear hair cell dysfunction and audiological disorders in this family.","PeriodicalId":6880,"journal":{"name":"Acta Oto-Laryngologica","volume":" ","pages":"1-12"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2025-03-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143699236","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
