School Hearing Screening With a Portable, Tablet-Based, Noise-Attenuating Audiometric Headset in Rural Nicaragua.

Objective: To investigate the utility and effectiveness of a noise-attenuating, tablet-based mobile health system combined with asynchronous telehealth evaluations for screening rural Nicaraguan schoolchildren for hearing loss.

Study Design: Prospective population-based survey.

Setting: Rural Nicaraguan communities.

Transcutaneous Radiofrequency Microneedling in the Facial Plastic Surgeon's Practice: A Review.

Minimally invasive methods for skin rejuvenation are in high demand. A diverse array of minimally invasive devices has been developed for aesthetical purposes and should be considered to help patients achieve their goals. Radiofrequency (RF) microneedling is a safe and effective intervention for treatment of various aesthetical and dermatological conditions in all skin types.

The Role of Subcutaneous Radiofrequency-Assisted Liposculpture in the Facial Plastic Surgeon's Practice.

Percutaneous radiofrequency-based skin tightening procedures can offer patients an option to undergo a potential treatment for skin laxity and excess adipose of the face and neck with less downtime, lower cost, and decreased risk of complications compared with more aggressive open procedures such as neck lift, face and neck lift, and platysmaplasty. FaceTite and AccuTite can safely yet effectively deliver energy into the subdermal space, targeting the dermal collagen network and deeper fascial layer. Ideal candidates have early jowl formation, mild to moderate skin laxity, and submental adiposity.

Community health workers and mHealth systems for hearing screening in rural Nicaraguan schoolchildren.

Background: We aimed to investigate the effectiveness of using minimally trained community health workers (CHW) to screen schoolchildren in rural Nicaragua for hearing loss using a tablet-based audiometric system integrated with asynchronous telehealth evaluations and mobile health (mHealth) appointment reminders.

Methods: A population-based survey was conducted using community health workers (CHWs) to perform tablet-based audiometry, asynchronous telehealth evaluations, and mHealth reminders to screen 3398 school children (7-9 years of age) in 92 rural Nicaraguan communities. The accuracy of screening, test duration, testing efficiency, telehealth data validity, and compliance with recommended clinic visits were analyzed.

Headache in Pregnancy.

Headache is a common symptom in pregnancy. The differential diagnosis for headache in pregnancy is broad and includes conditions that range in acuity and severity. Most headaches in pregnancy are migraine or tension-type headaches.
