Article Synopsis
- Malignant otitis externa (MOE) is a serious condition often linked to fungi, especially in people with weakened immune systems, prompting a review of fungal cases (FMOE) among patients.
- The study analyzed 10 articles covering 197 patients, mostly older adults (average age 65.9 years), highlighting that a significant number (78.7%) had conditions like diabetes or cancer.
- Most patients received conservative treatment focusing on antifungals like itraconazole, with a notable 4% mortality rate attributed to factors such as late diagnosis and cranial nerve issues, suggesting that early antifungal treatment could enhance patient outcomes.
Objective: The human temporal bone comprises more than 30 identifiable anatomical components. With the demand for precise image interpretation in this complex region, the utilization of artificial intelligence (AI) applications is steadily increasing. This systematic review aims to highlight the current role of AI in temporal bone imaging.

Accurate interpretation of imaging features of TB conditions plays a crucial role in diagnosing and treating a range of ear-related pathologies, including middle and inner ear diseases, otosclerosis, and vestibular schwannomas. According to multiple clinical studies published in the literature, AI-powered algorithms have demonstrated exceptional proficiency in interpreting imaging findings, not only saving time for physicians but also enhancing diagnostic accuracy by reducing human error.

Despite the durable remissions induced by ICIs and targeted therapies in advanced melanoma and non-melanoma skin cancers, both subtypes usually relapse. Many systematic therapies have been tested to increase efficacy and delay relapse in ICIs, but their success has been limited. Due the feasibility of this approach, skin cancers have become the ideal platform for intralesional infusions of many novel agents, including oncolytic viruses (OVs).
