Validation and inter-rater reliability testing of the Arabic version of speech intelligibility rating among children with cochlear implant.

Objectives: To validate and assess the reliability of the new version of an Arabic speech intelligibility rating among di erent raters.

Methods: This cross-sectional analysis was carried out between December 2018 and January 2019. Thirty cochlear-implant (CI) children (study group) and 30 subjects (control group) were enrolled.

Middle ear odontoma: A case report and review of the literature.

Introduction: Odontomas are benign neoplasms originating from odontogenic tissues. Most of these masses are asymptomatic and can only be diagnosed correctly via radiological studies. Treatment of choice for management of odontoma involves surgical excision to prevent secondary complications and result in a favourable prognosis.

Inter-rater Reliability and Validity of the Arabic Version of Categories of Auditory Performance-II (CAP-II) Among Children With Cochlear Implant.

Background: Categories of Auditory Performance II (CAP-II) is an established audiological test that consists of a rating scale that can be used for prospective assessment of the auditory performance of cochlear implant (CI) recipients.

Objective: To create and validate an Arabic version of Categories of Auditory Performance scale II (CAP-II), and to evaluate its reliability.

Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 30 post-CI children (patients' group) along with 30 control subjects were included.

Familial hypercholesterolemia with bilateral cholesterol granuloma: A case series.

Introduction: Cholesterol granuloma is a benign mass that commonly involves the petrous apex but rarely affects other structures, such as the mastoid cavity. It is diagnosed histologically by the presence of giant cells, and Its management is individualized based on some factors such as the size and location of the lesion.

Presentation Of Case: The first case was a 33-year-old man who presented to the outpatient clinic with a two-year history of right-sided pulsatile tinnitus, hearing loss, and vertigo.

Anemia, Blood Transfusion, and Filter Life Span in Critically Ill Patients Requiring Continuous Renal Replacement Therapy for Acute Kidney Injury: A Case-Control Study.

Background: Filter clotting is frequent during continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT), which increases anemia risk. We studied anemia and blood transfusion in critically ill patients requiring CRRT for acute kidney injury and assessed the relationship between CRRT filter life span and PRBC transfusion.

Methods: A case-control study was conducted at a tertiary-care intensive care unit (ICU) where CRRT cases were matched with controls for age, gender, admission category, and severity of illness.
