Single-cell transcriptomic atlas reveals increased regeneration in diseased human inner ear balance organs.

Mammalian inner ear hair cell loss leads to permanent hearing and balance dysfunction. In contrast to the cochlea, vestibular hair cells of the murine utricle have some regenerative capacity. Whether human utricular hair cells regenerate in vivo remains unknown.

Hydroxyapatite Use in Repair of Lateral Skull Base CSF Leaks Via Transmastoid Approach: When Does It Work?

Objective: The objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and outcomes of using a transmastoid approach with hydroxyapatite cement to repair lateral skull base cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leaks.

Study Design: Retrospective cohort study.

Setting: Tertiary-level care hospital.

Progression of Hearing Loss in Observed Non-Growing Vestibular Schwannoma.

Objective: To assess hearing outcomes in observed vestibular schwannoma (VS) with focus on non-growing tumors.

Study Design: Retrospective review.

Setting: Two tertiary neurotology centers.

The Clinical Implications of Spontaneous Hemorrhage in Vestibular Schwannomas.

 Spontaneous hemorrhage into vestibular schwannomas (VSs) is rare and can render more rapid symptom onset and a seemingly poorer prognosis for an otherwise benign pathology. We describe our series of hemorrhagic VS (HVSs) and systematically reviewed the literature to better understand relevant clinical factors and outcomes.  Retrospective case review series and systematic review of the literature using PRISMA guidelines.
