It may affect patients from newborns to the elderly. There are too many reasons for hearing loss, including congenital hearing loss, virus infections, age-related situations, and traumatic situations, which may be related to the immune-mediated system. Fifty percent of hearing loss is related to genetic mutations and defects; genetic causes are highly heterogeneous, so the analysis of new variants are important for diagnosis. We aimed to describe the importance of detected gene variations by using targeted gene panels in the Next-Generation-Sequencing (NGS) platform. Eighty-one hearing loss targeted genes were investigated using Illumina NextSeq550 technology in 100 participants with hearing loss between 2017 and 2022 in our Genetic Diseases Evaluation Center. Targeted genes were performed on 100 patients with hearing loss diagnosis. The total number of detected variants was 77. Forty-seven cases have likely pathogenic/pathogenic variants. Thirty of them have uncertain clinical significance variants, and from the detected variants, 8 are novel. In this research, we highlighted that earlier detection of hearing loss using molecular genetic methods may help us understand the etiology and orient for a better prognosis. Results detected by using the NGS platform can assist and improve the diagnosis. In this study, the diagnostic rate with targeted genes was detected as 35.29%. It has an important role in clinical practice as the recommendation of cochlear implants. Clarifying the genotype and phenotype correlation helps us figure out the etiology of hearing loss and also the worth of genetic counseling in hereditary hearing loss.","PeriodicalId":94238,"journal":{"name":"The journal of international advanced otology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11363168/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142006248","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Tinnitus of the right ear occurred especially when the patient yawned or swallowed. Both tympanic membranes appeared normal on otoscopic examination. On pure-tone audiometry, mild hearing loss up to 25 dB was detected in the right ear. Temporal bone computed tomography revealed a 7.0 mm × 4.5 mm × 5 mm, solitary soft tissue mass in the aditus ad antrum. Excisional biopsy was performed under general anesthesia through the canal wall as in a mastoidectomy. The mass was completely removed without any bleeding or ossicular chain damage. The mass was confirmed as a cavernous hemangioma. During follow-up, the patient's tinnitus and right low-tone hearing loss improved. No solitary hemangioma of the mastoid antrum has been reported previously.

The static magnetic field of a 3.0T scanner is associated with the risk of implant demagnetization. The development of rotatable implant magnets aimed to support the advancement of 3.0T MRI scanners and eliminate the risk of demagnetization of cochlear implant magnets. This study aimed to compare the image artifacts caused by first-t and second-generation rotatable cochlear implant magnets in 3.0T MRI. Three Tesla MRI T2W TSE sequences were performed on 3 subjects with first- and second-generation rotatable cochlear implant magnets. The cochlear implant was fixed to the head at the implantation position by a swim cap. The size of the image artifact was determined in the transverse plane. Intraindividual comparative analyses showed that within the margin of combined uncertainty of 5 mm at a resolution of 2 mm, the cochlear implant-induced image artifacts in all subjects showed for both (first- and second-generation rotatable cochlear implant magnets), the same maximum image artifact dimension of 125 mm. We could show that no difference in image artifact size was detected within the margin of error determined by resolution, localized induced shift of the scan, and reproducibility of the tilt angle of the head relative to the chest in a living subject. Assumed improved magnet attachment can be reached without compromising of the magnet artifact size.","PeriodicalId":94238,"journal":{"name":"The journal of international advanced otology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11363200/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142006246","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Sixty subjects [motion sickness (MS) group: 33 female, 3 male; 28.8 ± 8.1 years; control group: 19 female, 5 male; 24.5 ± 4.3 years] were included in the study. Near visual acuity test on the treadmill in the presence of visual stimulation, pattern visual-evoked potentials, oculomotor tests, and computerized dynamic posturography were applied. Receiver operating characteristic analysis was performed to determine the parameter that provides the excellent discrimination between the groups. The most effective parameter in differentiating the study groups was determined as dynamic visual acuity with 77.8% sensitivity and 95.8% specificity. Significant differences were found in the vestibular (mean ± standard deviation: 0.63 ± 0.17), visual (0.77 ± 0.18), and composite scores (73.11 ± 11.89) of the patients (P=.000) in posturographic evaluation. In the visual-evoked potential examination, a significant decrease was found in the amplitude values between the P100-N145 waves in the binocular (5.0 ± 2.8, P=.002), right eye (7.6 ± 3.2, P=.009) and left eye (7.9 ± 2.9, P=.016) in the symptomatic patients. In binocular oculomotor evaluation, directional asymmetric findings were obtained. It has been shown that the most effective test parameter that distinguishes the MS susceptible and non-susceptible individuals is the dynamic visual acuity value. Based on the results of neuro-physiological tests, it was suggested that a possible visual-vestibular integration disorder in individuals susceptible to motion sickness may affect visual and vestibular performance.","PeriodicalId":94238,"journal":{"name":"The journal of international advanced otology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11363172/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142006249","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A retrospective review was conducted on the medical records of 649 patients who underwent cochlear implantation. The study participants were divided into different groups regarding the applied surgery technique. The relationship between the fixation technique, revision rates, and the cause of revisions related to techniques was investigated. The overall revision rate was 2.9% (19 out of 649). There were 14 (3.5%) and 5 (2%) revision implantations in the subperiosteal tight pocket and conventional technique groups, respectively. The incidence of device failure was 2.5%, and it constituted the primary cause for revision surgery in both groups. Even though patients who had the subperiosteal tight pocket technique had a much higher rate of device failure, the results indicate that there was no significant difference between the groups, as evidenced by a P-value of .12. The conventional and subperiosteal tight pocket techniques can both be safely preferred with low revision rates in patients undergoing cochlear implantation.","PeriodicalId":94238,"journal":{"name":"The journal of international advanced otology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11363184/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142006239","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Its pathological mechanism remains unclear and the condition occasionally does not respond to steroids. It is now recognized as a rare type 2 inflammatory disease and should be treated specifically to enhance quality of life. This systematic review and meta-analysis evaluated the efficacies of biologic treatments. We searched PubMed, SCOPUS, Embase, Web of Science, and Cochrane databases up to September 2023. We retrieved ear examination findings, otitis media-related and symptom scores, air-bone gaps and hearing thresholds, serum eosinophil, and immunoglobulin E (IgE) levels before and after biologic treatments. Biologics treatment significantly improved subjective otitis media-related scores, compared with control group (standard mean difference (SMD) -1.62; 95% confidence interval (CI) [-2.24; -1.01], I2=54%). Additionally, the serum eosinophil counts and IgE levels significantly decreased (SMD -1.40; 95% CI [-1.99; -0.81], I 2=0%) after 6-12 months of biologic treatments, but the hearing thresholds did not significantly change. There were no significant differences between groups treated with dupilumab and groups treated with other biologics. Biologics treatment for eosinophilic otitis media significantly improved subjective otitis media-related scores and decreased serum eosinophil and IgE levels, but no significant changes in hearing threshold. More randomized cohort studies are needed to confirm the efficacies of biologics in patients with refractory eosinophilic otitis media.","PeriodicalId":94238,"journal":{"name":"The journal of international advanced otology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11363171/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142006242","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This causes short-lasting vertigo during changes in head position. Oftentimes, BPPV can be resolved within a single clinic visit, but secondary to many known risk factors, BPPV can recur. This case report follows a patient with extremely frequent recurrences despite a lack of known risk factors. A 55-year-old female experienced BPPV in December 2022, with successful canalith repositioning treatment from otolaryngology. On having a recurrence in March 2023, the patient underwent videonystagmography including caloric testing, and MRI, all of which showed normal findings besides left posterior-canal BPPV. From December 2022 to February 2024, the patient had 13 recurrences, each treated to resolution, confirmed by repeating positional tests and per subjective report for at least 2 weeks following. The incidence of BPPV recurrence is reported higher in females, however, this could not be interpreted as a causative factor. Though many other risk factors are documented in literature, this patient's history, demographics, imaging, and blood tests were all negative. This case report highlights a gap in knowledge of vestibular pathophysiology, as this patient's high rate of recurrence remains unexplained.","PeriodicalId":94238,"journal":{"name":"The journal of international advanced otology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11363178/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142006244","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
