Medical Management of the Near-Narrowed Internal Auditory Canal Pathology in the Adult Population: A Preliminary Study.

: Objective: To discuss therapeutic outcomes in patients with symptomatic near-narrow internal auditory canal (NNIAC). : We retrospectively analyzed the records of 26 symptomatic patients diagnosed with NNIAC, who had been treated with anti-epileptic drugs. In addition to clinical and radiological data, we recorded I-III latencies of auditory brainstem responses prior to and after medical therapy.

Hyperspectral imaging reveals that sapropelic mud therapy may improve local tissue oxygenation in elderly.

Sapropelic muds have been used for centuries to treat various illnesses, but their effects and mechanisms are still under research. In this study the effects of Techirghiol sapropelic mud on tissue oxygenation in elderly patients diagnosed with neuromuscular disorders were investigated using spatial and spectral information provided by hyperspectral imaging technique. A group of 38 elderly patients with neuromuscular disorders for which they received mud therapy was studied.

Managing Crohn's Disease Postoperative Recurrence Beyond Prophylaxis: A Comprehensive Review with Meta-Analysis.

Background And Aims: Postoperative recurrence in Crohn's disease remains a significant clinical challenge, with high recurrence rates despite advancements in medical therapy. This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of various treatments for managing postoperative recurrence following ileocolonic resection in Crohn's disease.

Methods: A comprehensive search of PubMed, Cochrane, and Scopus databases was performed to identify studies reporting on the therapeutic management of postoperative recurrence in Crohn's disease.

Removal and recovery of phosphorus and fluorine in process water from water based direct physical lithium-ion battery recycling.

In the present work, the recovery of phosphorus and fluorine from process water generated in a water based direct physical recycling process of Li-ion batteries has been studied. The recycling process considered in this work produces significant amounts of process water, which is generated during the opening of the batteries by means of electro-hydraulic fragmentation and the subsequent sorting of the components in aqueous solution. This process produces between 21.
