Transmastoid superior semicircular canal dehiscence plugging: VHIT findings.

Background: Superior canal dehiscence syndrome (Minor's syndrome) is a condition characterized by a bony defect in the superior semicircular canal (SSCC), with treatment primarily being surgical, notably through plugging of SSCC.

Aims/objectives: To examine the clinical outcome and postoperative VHIT findings after transmastoid plugging of the SSCC.

Materials And Methods: Patients having a superior semicircular canal dehiscence (SSCCD) syndrome with debilitating symptoms who underwent a plugging of the SSCC a transmastoid approach were included.

Supraglottoplasty outcomes and peri-operative care in congenital laryngomalacia.

Objectives: This study aimed to identify factors predicting postoperative ICU admission, the need for orotracheal intubation (OTI), and the occurrence of supraglottic stenosis in children undergoing supraglottoplasty for laryngomalacia.

Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on 31 children (Dear Reviewer, we would have greatly preferred to include a larger sample size. However, as you know, this type of management is rare, and we deliberately selected a 7-year period to ensure a minimum of 30 children while avoiding significant differences in management guidelines over time.

Identifying the Black Country's Top Mental Health Research Priorities Using a Collaborative Workshop Approach: Community Connexions.

The Black Country (BC) is an area of the United Kingdom covering Dudley, Sandwell, Walsall, and Wolverhampton. The area is ethnically, culturally and religiously diverse. One-fifth of the total population is in the lowest socioeconomic quintile, with an uneven distribution of wealth.

A single exposure to prolonged flexor carpi radialis muscle vibration increases sensorimotor cortical areas activity.

Prolonged local vibration (LV) is thought to promote brain plasticity through repeated Ia afferents discharge. However, the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. This study therefore aimed at determining the acute after-effects of 30-min LV of the flexor carpi radialis muscle (FCR) on sensorimotor (S1, M1) and posterior parietal cortex (PPC) areas activity.

Pleasantness makes a good time: musical consonance shapes interpersonal synchronization in dyadic joint action.

Introduction: Music making is a process by which humans across cultures come together to create patterns of sounds that are aesthetically pleasing. What remains unclear is how this aesthetic outcome affects the sensorimotor interaction between participants.

Method: Here we approach this question using an interpersonal sensorimotor synchronization paradigm to test whether the quality of a jointly created chord (consonant vs.
