Cochlear dysfunction as an early biomarker of cognitive decline in normal hearing and mild hearing loss.

Introduction: Age-related hearing loss is an important risk factor for cognitive decline. However, audiogram thresholds are not good estimators of dementia risk in subjects with normal hearing or mild hearing loss. Here we propose to use distortion product otoacoustic emissions (DPOAEs) as an objective and sensitive tool to estimate the risk of cognitive decline in older adults with normal hearing or mild hearing loss.

Spondyloenchondrodysplasia with immune dysregulation related to ACP5. A report of 4 cases.

Spondyloenchondrodysplasia with immune dysregulation related to ACP5 (SPENCDI, OMIM number 607944) is an uncommon immune-skeletal dysplasia with heterogeneous manifestations and variable severity. It is characterized by spondylar and metaphyseal lesions, immune dysfunction, and neurological involvement. Here we report the clinical, radiological and genetic aspects of 4 girls with SPENCDI treated at a children's hospital.

Breast adenomyoepithelioma from a radiologic perspective.

Adenomyoepithelioma of the breast (AB) is an uncommon tumor that is characterized by the biphasic proliferation of epithelial and myoepithelial cells. The radiologic findings for AB have been scantly reported. This paper aims to analyze the characteristic findings for AB on ultrasonography (US) and mammography.

[Spontaneous splenic rupture secondary to infectious mononucleosis].

Splenic rupture is a rare but potentially fatal complication of infectious mononucleosis. We report the case of an 18-year-old woman, who presented a 7-day history of abdominal pain, sudden temporary loss of consciousness and fever. Admission blood tests showed anemia, and lymphocytosis.
