Article Synopsis
- This study investigates the impact of extreme weather events, particularly high temperatures, on the occurrence of acute otitis externa (AOE), a common ear condition leading to emergency room visits.
- Analysis of 1522 AOE-related visits from 2015 to 2018 revealed a significant increase in cases following high-temperature days, showing a relative risk increase one day after such events.
- The study also found that both low and high humidity levels reduced immediate AOE-related visits, while higher precipitation and wind speeds were linked to fewer cases over several days.
Background: Intracochlear fibrosis and inflammation remain important limitations in cochlear implantation (CI). Glucocorticoids are routinely used to ameliorate the inflammatory response following CI. This study investigates the long-term effects of an intratympanically-applied triamcinolone-acetonide suspension on intracochlear impedance changes in CI recipients and investigates differences in drug concentrations and timepoints of injection.

Objective: To analyze medical device reports (MDR) submitted to the Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) Manufacturer and User Device Facility Experience (MAUDE) database to identify adverse events (AEs) in patients implanted with novel active bone conduction hearing implants (BCIs).
Methods: We conducted a search of the FDA MAUDE database on the newest generation of BCIs. Data were collected concerning device malfunctions, patient injuries, factors triggering these incidents, and the subsequent actions taken.
Objective: To evaluate the long-term hearing outcome after translabyrinthine resection of tumors within the internal auditory canal (IAC) with simultaneous cochlear implantation (CI).
Study Design: Prospective study.
Setting: Tertiary referral center.
Background: Thoracic computed tomography scans (CT) are used by several study groups to investigate the circulatory structures (heart and vessels) located behind the pressure point for chest compressions. Yet, it remains unclear how the positioning of these structures is influenced by factors such as intubation, the respiratory cycle and arm positioning.
Methods: We retrospectively analyzed data of adult patients with in- or out-of-hospital cardiac arrest who underwent thoracic CT imaging within one year before or up to six months after arrest.
