Background: Clear identification of the round window (RW) through the facial recess is a key surgical step for successful cochlear implantation (CI) surgery, which may be very challenging in some cases. Objective is to predict round window (RW) accessibility during CI surgery using high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT).
Methods: We retrospectively reviewed preoperative HRCT scans of 142 patients who underwent CI surgery via the standard posterior tympanotomy approach at our ENT Head and Neck Surgery department.
Article Synopsis
- Intra and inter-pathologist variability complicates the evaluation of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH) biopsy results, hindering patient selection and assessment quality in clinical trials.
- A study analyzed 120 histology slides with and without AI assistance to evaluate its impact on pathologists' reliability in fibrosis staging, especially for early fibrosis stages.
- Results showed that AI assistance significantly improved concordance among pathologists, increasing agreement rates for clinical trial inclusion and exclusion, which could enhance the overall efficiency and reliability of MASH-related clinical research.
Parkinson's disease (PD) is a progressive movement disorder associated with brain iron (Fe) accumulation and free radicals. Brown rice (BR) is antioxidant-rich and has been shown to ameliorate oxidative stress-induced damage. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of BR compared to white rice (WR) on Fe-induced PD in a fruit fly model.

- Thyroid abscess is a rare but serious emergency in children, with mortality rates of 3.7%-9% in cases of acute suppurative thyroiditis, making prompt diagnosis and treatment crucial.
- A 7-year-old girl presented with fever and neck stiffness, revealing a thyroid abscess connected to a piriform sinus fistula, leading to successful treatment with antibiotics and surgery.
- The case emphasizes the importance of fast and accurate medical intervention to avoid complications, given the unusual nature of thyroid abscesses and their low recurrence rates.
