Intraoperative Compound Action Potentials as a Predictor of Postoperative Cortical Auditory Evoked Potentials in Cochlear Implant Users.

Introduction: Electrically evoked cortical auditory evoked potentials (ECAEPs) are central brain responses to auditory stimuli that correlate with postoperative cochlear implant (CI) hearing outcomes. They differ from electrically evoked compound action potentials (ECAPs) which are peripheral responses that can be elicited intraoperatively and may also predict CI hearing outcomes. It is not known to what degree ECAP and ECAEP responses are associated with each other.

Phase 1 study of the iodine absorption, safety, and tolerability of a 0.5% povidone-iodine nasal spray (Nasodine).

PVP-I is a widely used antiseptic but only recently proposed for intranasal use. The extent of iodine absorption from available PVP-I nasal products is unknown. Iodine absorption from use of Nasodine (0.

Phase II Trial of the Impact 0.5% Povidone-Iodine Nasal Spray (Nasodine®) on Shedding of SARS-CoV-2.

Objective: A Phase II trial was conducted to determine if nasal disinfection with a commercial Good Manufacturing Practice-manufactured 0.5% povidone-iodine nasal spray (Nasodine®) may be a useful adjunct in the management of COVID-19 by reducing viral shedding and prevention of transmission of SARS-CoV-2. The aim was to confirm the results from a human single-dose pilot study by assessing repeated and frequent doses on nasal shedding of SARS-CoV-2 from adult subjects with confirmed COVID-19.

Neck Swelling With Valsalva.

We present a rare case of bilateral pharyngocoeles in a patient with symptomatic neck swelling prominently seen with the Valsalva manoeuvre. Pharyngocoeles have only been reported a handful of times in the literature. Due to their rarity, they can easily be misdiagnosed as a laryngocoele, Zenker's diverticulum, or jugular venous phlebectasia.

Evaluation of the Performance of OTOPLAN-Based Cochlear Implant Electrode Array Selection: A Retrospective Study.

Otoplan is a surgical planning software designed to assist with cochlear implant surgery. One of its outputs is a recommendation of electrode array type based on imaging parameters. In this retrospective study, we evaluated the differences in auditory outcomes between patients who were implanted with arrays corresponding to those recommended by the Otoplan software versus those in which the array selection differed from the Otoplan recommendation.
