We present a rare finding on lung ventilation-perfusion (V/Q) scintigraphy for a woman with longstanding dyspnea. CT of the chest showed volume loss on the right side, which raised concern about possible bronchiolitis obliterans or Swyer-James-MacLeod syndrome; however, the right pulmonary artery could not be visualized. A subsequent V/Q scan showed absence of perfusion and decreased ventilation to the entire right lung, consistent with agenesis of the right pulmonary artery.

Methods: Medications of 303 adult hearing preservation (HP) candidates (low frequency pure tone average [LFPTA] of 125, 250, and 500 Hz ≤80 dB HL) were reviewed. Postimplantation LFPTA of patients taking CCBs and BPs were compared to controls matched by age and preimplantation LFPTA.
Objective: To describe outcomes of patients with sporadic vestibular schwannoma (VS) who underwent repeat stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) after primary SRS failure.
Study Design: Multi-institutional historical cohort study.
Setting: Five tertiary care referral centers.
Objective: The objective of this study is to assess whether patient participation in specific activities and perceived social support correlate with speech perception following cochlear implantation.
Setting: Tertiary referral hospital.
Methods: Adult cochlear implantation patients implanted in their poorer hearing ear between January 2019 and December 2020 completed the Functional Social Support Questionnaire (FSSQ) and a modified version of the Victoria Lifestyle Study-Activities Lifestyle Questionnaire (VLS-ALQ).
