Article Synopsis
  • Cochlear implants are essential for severe-to-profound hearing loss and depend on precise electrode placement for success.
  • A review of 125 studies reveals that factors like insertion depth, speed, and the use of robotics affect insertion forces and intracochlear pressure, which are vital for better implantation techniques.
  • Findings show that while higher insertion speeds typically increase forces and pressure, results vary in cadaver studies, highlighting the need for standardized research to enhance clinical practices and protect hearing during procedures.

Familial spontaneous pneumothorax (FSP) accounts for 10% of primary spontaneous pneumothoraces. Appropriate investigation of FSP enables early diagnosis of serious monogenic diseases and the practice of precision medicine. Here, we show that a pneumothorax genetics multidisciplinary team (MDT) can efficiently diagnose a range of syndromic causes of FSP.
