- - The study investigates the long-term results of sigmoid sinus wall reconstruction (SSWR) for treating pulsatile tinnitus (PT) caused by sigmoid sinus wall anomalies (SSWAs) in patients, with a focus on outcomes lasting more than 5 years post-surgery.
- - Conducted as a retrospective review, the study included 35 out of 58 eligible patients, reporting a 97.3% short-term success rate and an 83.8% long-term success rate in alleviating PT symptoms, though 13.5% of patients experienced recurrence of symptoms later.
- - The findings conclude that SSWR is a highly effective and safe procedure for managing PT linked to SSWAs, showing minimal risk for further complications related
Background: While food allergy (FA) can be fatal, the greatest public health impact of FA arguably lies in its detrimental effect on quality of life (FAQOL). Understanding the factors that contribute to FAQOL at different ages is essential to develop personalized interventions that will improve FAQOL.
Objective: To determine the most influential factors that impact FAQOL across ages in well-phenotyped participants with confirmed FA.

Methods: We defined the bone phenotype and clinical predictors of low bone density and fracture risk in 77 patients with LDS type 1 to type 5.
Results: Patients with LDS had dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) Z-scores significantly < 0, and 50% of children and 9% of adults had Z-scores < -2.
