Day-case otology: Special attention to the pediatric cochlear implantation procedure.

Objective: Assess the feasibility of cochlear implantation as day-surgery in children and identify variables influencing admission, readmission, and unplanned postoperative consultation.

Methods: This retrospective observational monocentric study was conducted according to the STROBE recommendations. Between January 2017 and July 2022, all medical records of children who underwent cochlear implantation were analyzed.

[Radiation-induced parotid leiomyosarcoma].

Introduction: First case of radiation-induced parotid leiomyosarcoma.

Anatomo-clinical Observation: A 50-year-old woman with a history of cervical irradiation for Hodgkin's lymphoma presented with a right parotid tumefaction. Examination noted a deep adherent pretragal mass with peripheral facial palsy.

Mid-term evaluation of the surgical management of patulous Eustachian tube dysfunction: a STROBE observational study.

Introduction: Patulous Eustachian tube (PET) is a condition affecting approximately 0.3% to 6.6% of the population, with autophony being the predominant complain.

Microbubble-assisted ultrasound for inner ear drug delivery.

Treating pathologies of the inner ear is a major challenge. To date, a wide range of procedures exists for administering therapeutic agents to the inner ear, with varying degrees of success. The key is to deliver therapeutics in a way that is minimally invasive, effective, long-lasting, and without adverse effects on vestibular and cochlear function.

Immediate-Early Modifications to the Metabolomic Profile of the Perilymph Following an Acoustic Trauma in a Sheep Model.

The pathophysiological mechanisms of noise-induced hearing loss remain unknown. Identifying biomarkers of noise-induced hearing loss may increase the understanding of pathophysiological mechanisms of deafness, allow for a more precise diagnosis, and inform personalized treatment. Emerging techniques such as metabolomics can help to identify these biomarkers.

Metabolomic Studies in Inner Ear Pathologies.

Sensorineural hearing loss is the most common sensory deficit. The etiologies of sensorineural hearing loss have been described and can be congenital or acquired. For congenital non-syndromic hearing loss, mutations that are related to sites of cochlear damage have been discovered (e.
