Aims/hypothesis: Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) improves glycaemic outcomes in the outpatient setting; however, there are limited data regarding CGM accuracy in hospital.
Methods: We conducted a prospective, observational study comparing CGM data from blinded Dexcom G6 Pro sensors with reference point of care and laboratory glucose measurements during participants' hospitalisations. Key accuracy metrics included the proportion of CGM values within ±20% of reference glucose values >5.
Using 3D modeling, we studied the influence of orbital tumor morphology on post-operative outcomes. Orbital tumor volume did not influence postoperative complication rates. Less spherical tumors may be correlated with a more extensive surgical approach.

Objective: To compare symptomatology in patients with unilateral versus bilateral superior semicircular canal dehiscence who underwent unilateral surgical repair.
Study Design: Retrospective cohort study.
Setting: Single surgeon series at tertiary academic medical center from 2002 to 2021.
Objective: To characterize the diagnostic yield of patients undergoing evaluation for superior canal dehiscence syndrome (SCDS), and identify alternative conditions diagnosed in patients suspected of, but not ultimately diagnosed with, SCDS.
Methods: Diagnostically undifferentiated adult patients suspected of having SCDS were identified between 2016 and 2021 at a tertiary academic medical system. Patients were categorized by diagnostic testing, radiographic superior semicircular canal (SSC) abnormality, symptoms, evaluating clinician specialty, operative intervention, and diagnosis.
