This study aimed to analyze cervicalevoked myogenic potentials (cVEMP) and video head impulse test (vHIT) results between children with Hashimoto thyroiditis (HT) and healthy controls to determine vestibular end-organ problems. Thirty-six children with HT and 30 healthy subjects were recruited. The main inclusion criteria for the healthy group were the presence of normal thyroid function and no clinical history of vestibular problems. Each participant (both HT and healthy groups) was assessed using audiovestibular tests, cVEMP, and vHIT. There was no significant difference between the groups in terms of cVEMP (p1 and n1) latencies for both ears. There was no significant difference in cVEMP amplitudes (p1-n1 peak-to-peak) between the groups. There were statistically significant differences in the VOR gain of the right and left ears between the groups (P < .001, P < .001). When we considered lower cutoff value as 0.80 for VOR gain, 29 of 36 patients with HT (80.6%) had lower VOR gain scores. Only 1 of 30 healthy participants (3.3%) had a lower VOR gain score. This difference was statistically significant (P < .001). Subclinical vestibulopathy may occur in children with HT. The vHIT seems to be a valuable tool for identifying and screening preclinical vestibular pathologies in this patient group.","PeriodicalId":94238,"journal":{"name":"The journal of international advanced otology","volume":"20 5","pages":"426-430"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-09-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11562529/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142402589","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}

Eighteen children, aged 8 to 12 years, with normal hearing and visual acuity, were evaluated using the Children's Memory Scale (CMS) to determine their auditory and visual memory performance. Using the core subtest battery of the CMS, auditory/verbal (immediate and delayed), visual/nonverbal (immediate and delayed), and general memory index scores were assessed. No significant difference was found between auditory/verbal memory and visual/nonverbal memory scores for both immediate and delayed recall. Likewise, no correlation between auditory/verbal memory and visual/nonverbal memory scores was found. However, there was a significant correlation between immediate and delayed recall scores within each modality. The non-significant difference between the two modalities for both immediate and delayed recall gives the impression that memory is modality independent. However, the lack of any correlation between the two suggests there was no association between them. The absence of a significant difference between modalities can be attributed to the auditory and visual test material used in CMS not being analogous. It can thus be inferred that the auditory and visual modalities are independent. While the visual material evaluates simultaneous/concurrent perception, the auditory material assesses sequential perception.","PeriodicalId":94238,"journal":{"name":"The journal of international advanced otology","volume":"20 5","pages":"405-410"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-09-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11562582/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142402569","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}

Twenty-four patients were randomly assigned to the dual-site stimulation group (temporal and frontal stimulation, TF), singlesite stimulation group (temporal stimulation, T), or sham stimulation group. An age-matched control group was also included (n = 12). Electroencephalography (EEG) was recorded and patient data were analyzed before and after treatment. A frontal increase in EEG power was observed in the alpha (8-12 Hz) frequency band domain after treatment; this increase was most pronounced in the TF group, followed by the T group. The TF and T groups showed increased alpha power in the fronto-central channels only in the silent period between paired-pulse tones. The TF and T groups showed decreases in alpha power in the temporal region, particularly in the neural response to the first of the paired-pulse tones. The difference in tinnitus handicap index between pre- and post-treatment was positively correlated with the alpha power of the silent period in the frontal and fronto-central channels. Dual-site stimulation showed the greatest alleviation of tinnitus-related discomfort, followed by single-site stimulation. Additionally, the modulation of alpha power was prominent in the active stimulation groups. Low frequency rTMS can alleviate tinnitus by increasing alpha band power and reducing hyperactivity.","PeriodicalId":94238,"journal":{"name":"The journal of international advanced otology","volume":"20 5","pages":"397-404"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-09-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11562562/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142402575","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}

The study used a retrospective survey design. A total of 539 people with MD participated in this study. The online questionnaire included 36 items which had mixture of structured and open-ended questions that were focusing on MD symptoms, impact of their symptoms, vestibular rehabilitation, as well as health-related quality of life (HRQoL). Forty-six percent of the patients had episodic vertigo, 6% had constant dizziness, 15% had both episodic vertigo and constant dizziness, and 31% did not have vertigo or dizziness within the last 2 years. Patients with MD without any vertigo rated their HRQoL as 73.9%, those with episodic vertigo as 71.1%, those with constant dizziness as 56.9%, and those with constant dizziness and episodic vertigo as 57.9% indicating significant reduction in HRQoL in constant dizziness patients. Constant dizziness was associated with cognitive visual problems, fatigue, balance problems, vestibular drop attacks and syncope. The impact of balance problem was more severe among those with constant dizziness. The most common balance problem was tripping-off (34%), followed by swaying (25%) or rocking (8%) sensations. In the self-administered rehabilitative training, there were no differences between any of the vertigo or dizziness groups although disease profile of MD differed significantly. We emphasize that constant dizziness in MD constitutes a long-term maladaptation to a vestibular and visual cognitive function causing cognitive dissonance. Different types of vertigo and their associated complaints require different treatment strategies to the manage balance problems and to cope with the disease, but best practices is still under research.","PeriodicalId":94238,"journal":{"name":"The journal of international advanced otology","volume":"20 5","pages":"417-425"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-09-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11562517/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142402571","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}

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":"20 4","pages":"312-324"},"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}

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.

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 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.

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.
