Surgery for Pituitary Tumor Apoplexy Is Associated with Rapid Headache and Cranial Nerve Improvement.

Pituitary tumor apoplexy (PTA) classically comprises sudden-onset headache, loss of vision, ophthalmoparesis, and decreased consciousness. It typically results from hemorrhage and/or infarction within a pituitary adenoma. Presentation is heterologous, and optimal management is debated.

The Impact of Age on Noise Sensitivity in Cochlear Implant Recipients.

Objective: To evaluate the impact of different open set sentence recognition tests in quiet, +10 dB signal to noise ratio (SNR), and +5 dB SNR in adult cochlear implant (CI) recipients above and below 65 years of age.

Study Design And Setting: Multi-institution, prospective, non-randomized, single-subject repeated measures design.

Patients: Ninety six adults more than or equal to 18 years old with postlingual bilateral sensorineural hearing loss.

Long-term Hearing Preservation and Speech Perception Performance Outcomes With the Slim Modiolar Electrode.

Objective: Describe audiologic outcomes in hearing preservation (HP) cochlear implant candidates using a slim modiolar electrode (SME).

Study Design: Retrospective.

Setting: Tertiary referral center.

Handheld Briefcase Optical Coherence Tomography with Real-Time Machine Learning Classifier for Middle Ear Infections.

A middle ear infection is a prevalent inflammatory disease most common in the pediatric population, and its financial burden remains substantial. Current diagnostic methods are highly subjective, relying on visual cues gathered by an otoscope. To address this shortcoming, optical coherence tomography (OCT) has been integrated into a handheld imaging probe.

Cochlear Implant Outcomes Following Vestibular Schwannoma Resection: Systematic Review.

Objective: Hearing loss remains a significant morbidity for patients with vestibular schwannomas (VS). A growing number of reports suggest audibility with cochlear implantation following VS resection; however, there is little consensus on preferred timing and cochlear implant (CI) performance.

Data Sources: A systematic literature search of the Ovid Medline, Embase, Scopus, and clinicaltrails.
