Article Synopsis
- * Researchers examined temporal bones from donors with otosclerosis to assess RW obliteration and its relation to other otosclerosis patterns.
- * Findings indicate a significant rate of RW involvement, with continuous lesions from the oval window leading to complete RW obliteration, potentially improving future prognostic evaluations for otosclerosis patients.
Objectives: Despite otitis media and various disease processes being associated with endolymphatic hydrops (EH), an exact explanation of the pathophysiology has yet to be reported. This study aimed to investigate the changes in the cochlear lateral wall structures and their potential correlation with the presence and severity of cochlear EH in acute and chronic otitis media cases. The investigations were conducted in both chinchilla animal model and human temporal bone specimens.

This study aimed to investigate whether type 2 DM is associated with middle ear changes, specifically affecting the ossicular chain and joints.
Methods: This study included 47 ears from 25 patients with DM (male = 13, female = 12, age: 51.
Dogs are one of the key animal species in investigating the biological mechanisms of behavioral laterality. Cerebral asymmetries are assumed to be influenced by stress, but this subject has not yet been studied in dogs. This study aims to investigate the effect of stress on laterality in dogs by using two different motor laterality tests: the Kong™ Test and a Food-Reaching Test (FRT).

Methods: Temporal bone specimens taken from 12 chinchillas were divided into two groups. The control group consisted of healthy animals that were injected with intrabullar saline.
