Article Synopsis
  • The study aims to compare the reliability of cortical auditory evoked potentials (CAEP) generated by acoustic versus electrical stimuli in children with cochlear implants.
  • Involving 22 pediatric cochlear implant recipients, the research found that acoustic stimuli resulted in more reliable latency measurements compared to electrical stimuli, with significant differences noted in both latency and amplitude metrics.
  • The findings suggest that acoustic CAEP testing is more consistent than electrical CAEP testing, providing valuable insights for researchers and clinicians working with cochlear implant recipients.

This review aimed to systematically compare and pool the prevalence of all the known evidence on caregiver hesitancy and to describe the factors influencing vaccine hesitancy among caregiver worldwide such as COVID-19, MMR, Influenza, HPV and others. We searched article from few electronic databases (PubMed, CENTRAL, ProQuest, and Web of Science) from inception to August 2023 using specific keywords for example caregiver, parents, prevalence, factor, hesitancy, and others. We included population-based studies that reported the prevalence of caregiver hesitancy.

Background & objectives The results of the genetic association studies between the selected candidate genes and hypertension (HT) contradicted across different populations. Majority of the meta-analyses carried out did not consider population genetic ancestry as a confounding factor. Therefore, this meta-analysis attempted to consolidate and re-evaluate the findings of the association between the selected candidate variants (AGT-rs699, CYP11B2-rs1799998, ADRB2-rs1042713 and rs1042714) and HT, by categorizing the genotyping data based on known genetic ancestry, and/or major geographical populations.
