Objectives: The movement towards personalization of cochlear implantation has continued to generate interest about variabilities in cochlear size. In a recent meta-analysis, Atalay et al. (2022) examined organ of corti length, cochlear lateral wall, and "A" value and found that most covariates, other than congenital sensorineural hearing loss, did not impact cochlear size via these measurements.

Methods: A retrospective cross-sectional study was performed using the USFDA's MAUDE database from January 2014 to August 2024. Adverse events were identified using the product codes (QUF, QUG, and QUH) and the keywords ("Hearing Aid, Air-Conduction with Wireless Technology, Over the Counter, Hearing Aid, Air-Conduction, Over the Counter, and Self-Fitting Air-Conduction Hearing Aid, Over the Counter").
Article Synopsis
- The study explores the growing number of cancer survivors and investigates the connection between cutaneous melanoma (CM) and hematologic malignancies (HM), examining how genetic, biological, and environmental factors influence this association.!* -
- A literature review and meta-analysis were conducted, analyzing data from ten studies on HM in CM patients and eleven studies on CM in HM patients, revealing significant incidence ratios for both cancers appearing after one another.!* -
- The findings confirm a notable link between CM and HM, primarily driven by genetic factors (like specific gene mutations) and environmental risks (such as UV exposure and weakened immune systems).!*
Introduction Lung diseases are the most frequently encountered form of diseases primarily affecting infants under one year of age. Although the chest X-ray is the first modality of choice, ultrasonography (USG) has emerged as an alternative. Lung ultrasound (LUS) finds its application in the evaluation of several pediatric lung diseases.

Despite the significant evidence on chronic disease burden, the co-existence of MCC within a household in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) is less studied. This study therefore estimates the prevalence of MCC and its determinants among adults in the Indian households.
