Objectives: This research aims to validate the digits-in-noise (DIN) test for the Italian language and develop a version capable of independently assessing both ears while maintaining acceptable administration times.

Methods: Individual digits from 0 to 9 in Italian were recorded and adjusted to equalise recognition probabilities. An iOS application (APP) was developed for the independent ear test using triplets in noise.

Objective: We present long-term results for the Pyrocardan®, a pyrocarbon trapeziometacarpal interposition implant used for the treatment of osteoarthritis of the thumb.

Methods: Between March 2009 and May 2013, 199 arthroplasties were performed in a single hand center, in 184 patients by 6 hand surgeons. 107 implants were followed up for a mean 137 months (range, 120-168 months).

Article Synopsis
  • The paper discusses the potential of analyzing perilymph to study inner ear diseases but notes that current sampling methods are risky and mostly limited to research contexts.
  • It reviews existing literature on perilymph sampling and microneedle technology, identifying eight studies that focus on perilymph features and outcomes related to inner ear drug injections.
  • The authors propose a new, safer method for collecting perilymph in clinical settings by combining traditional techniques and innovative tools like micro-endoscopes and microneedles.
