Endolymphatic hydrops has been documented as a possible complication of cochlear implantation; however, few studies have addressed its treatment. We describe the first case ever reported of delayed endolymphatic hydrops after a cochlear implant successfully treated with intratympanic gentamicin injection. A detailed discussion of this case with a focus on its management and outcomes will be provided in comparison with literature data.

The aim of this study is to assess and record the experiences of Hires Ultra 3D (Advanced Bionics) recipients who underwent an MRI examination. A multicentric European survey about this topic was conducted focusing on safety issues, and the results were compared with the current literature.

CVD and CKD share a great number of common risk factors, such as hypertension, diabetes, obesity, and smoking, among others. Their relationship extends beyond these factors, encompassing intricate interplay between the two systems.

This study investigated the current intake practices for dogs admitted in animal shelters in Texas, United States.
Methods: To gather data, an online survey was designed and distributed to shelter employees responsible for intake at animal shelters.
Article Synopsis
- Ossiculoplasty is a surgical procedure aimed at repairing the ossicular chain in the middle ear with prosthetics to improve hearing.
- This study investigates a new biohybrid prosthesis made of titanium and a bone extracellular matrix to enhance its performance and prevent extrusion, using human stem cells to test its effectiveness.
- Preliminary results show that the titanium scaffolds support the growth and differentiation of stem cells into bone-forming cells, suggesting potential for further research into this innovative approach for ear surgery.
