Giant Basal Cell Carcinoma Within a Marjolin's Ulcer: A Case Discussion.

Marjolin's ulcers are cutaneous malignancies that arise from chronic wounds, often secondary to burns. While squamous cell carcinoma is the most prevalent type, rare instances of other tumors, such as basal cell carcinoma, have occurred. These tumors are challenging to treat due to their high recurrence rate and aggressive behavior.

[The LittlEARS® Auditory Questionnaire : An analysis of multicentre data of children after early bilateral cochlear implant placement].

Background: In order to optimise the support of children with cochlear implants (CI), it is very important to detect slow developmental processes as early as possible. Data from the LittlEARS® Auditory Questionnaire (LEAQ) from children with early bilateral CI are evaluated and presented in relation to age and hearing age and compared with language development data recorded later.

Materials And Methods: This retrospective multicentre study included data from a total of 554 children for whom at least one LEAQ was completed during the course of CI rehabilitation.

Medical Students' Efforts to Address COVID-19 Vaccine Hesitancy Through Motivational Interviewing.

Background The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic reaffirmed health disparities in the United States (US) and highlighted the need for public health strategies to combat vaccine hesitancy, especially amongst vulnerable populations. The Green Family Foundation Neighborhood Health Education Learning Program (NeighborhoodHELP) at Florida International University (FIU) serves a predominantly uninsured population, making it a critical area of opportunity for addressing vaccine hesitancy. Motivational interviewing (MI), a technique that supports individuals in making autonomous health decisions, has shown promise in encouraging vaccine acceptance.

Fitting parameters in children with cochlear implants and severe additional disabilities.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to investigate whether the fitting data of children with Cochlear implants (CI) and severe additional disabilities (CAD) differ compared to children with CI but without additional disabilities (CnonAD).

Methods: In this retrospective analysis, 76 CI cases (fitted ears) from CAD were included and matched with 76 cases from CnonAD. The subjective set values, such as pulse width (PW), threshold (T) and most comfortable (MC) levels were recorded.

Comparison of 96-kV and 120-kV cone-beam CT for the assessment of cochlear implants.

Background: To compare the diagnostic value of 120-kV with conventional 96-kV Cone-Beam CT (CBCT) of the temporal bone after cochlear implant (CI) surgery.

Methods: This retrospective study included CBCT scans after CI surgery between 06/17 and 01/18. CBCT allowed examinations with 96-kV or 120-kV; other parameters were the same.
