Objective: To evaluate cochlear implant speech perception among patients with sporadic inner ear schwannoma who underwent ipsilateral implantation.
Study Design: Retrospective multi-institutional cohort study.
Setting: Eleven tertiary academic medical centers across Germany, Denmark, and the United States.

Three-dimensional cultures are widely used to study bone and cartilage. These models often focus on the interaction between osteoblasts and osteoclasts or osteoblasts and chondrocytes. A culture of osteoblasts, osteoclasts and chondrocytes would represent the cells that interact in the joint and a model with these cells could be used to study many diseases that affect the joints.

- - This study compares cochlear implant (CI) outcomes for speech perception in patients with sporadic vestibular schwannoma (VS) treated through observation, radiosurgery, or microsurgery.
- - Of the 100 patients analyzed, those who underwent microsurgery had poorer speech perception scores compared to those who were observed or treated with radiosurgery, with only 61% achieving open-set speech perception after microsurgery.
- - The findings suggest that cochlear implants can be beneficial for sporadic VS patients, particularly those managed by observation or radiosurgery, as these groups showed significantly better outcomes in achieving open-set speech perception.
Cochlear Apex Triangulation Utilizing Ct Measures And Middle Ear Landmarks.
Otol Neurotol Open
September 2024
Article Synopsis
- The study aims to describe the cochlear apex's anatomy to assist surgeons during apical electrode placement for cochlear implants, enhancing procedural success.
- Utilizing a retrospective analysis of 82 CT scans, the researchers measured distances from key middle ear landmarks to the cochlear apex, finding significant variability in anatomy.
- A new "stapes vector" was identified as a reliable reference point for locating the cochlear apex, which could improve surgical accuracy and minimize damage during procedures.
Aspen (Populus tremula L.) is a keystone species and a model system for forest tree genomics. We present an updated resource comprising a chromosome-scale assembly, population genetics and genomics data.
