The association between high jugular bulb and mastoid pneumatization in adults.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to analyze the relationship between the degree of high jugular bulb (HJB) and mastoid pneumatization using high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT).

Methods: Between April 2019 and June 2022, HRCT of the temporal bone was retrospectively analyzed in 1,025 patients. By excluding the other coexistent pathologies, 113 patients with HJBs were recruited for the study.

Identification and validation of N6-methyladenosine (m6A)-related lncRNAs signature for predicting the prognosis of laryngeal carcinoma, especially for smoking patients.

Laryngeal cancer (LC), a highly fatal tumor in the head and neck region, has been the focus of research in recent years. The study of LC has primarily focused on the role of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) in regulating gene expression, as they have emerged as pivotal factors in this biological process. Additionally, a reversible RNA modification called N6-methyladenosine (m6A) has been observed to have a significant impact on gene expression as well.

The Age-Related Growth of Mastoid Air Cells in Infancy: A Retrospective Cross-Sectional Study.

Objectives: To investigate the normal growth and development of mastoid pneumatization volume from 5 to 12 months for pediatric otosurgeons.

Study Design: Retrospective chart review.

Setting: A tertiary referral center.

The feasibility of cochlear implantation in early infancy.

Objectives: To determine the key image anatomical parameters that are relevant to cochlear implantation (CI) using temporal bone high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) scans and to identify age group differences in order to provide image anatomical support for early CI.

Methods: The data of 346 temporal bone HRCTs of 173 children from 5 months to 18 years of age were retrospectively selected and reviewed. Parameters of the human temporal bone that are relevant to CI key surgical steps include mastoid thickness (MT), the facial recess width (FRW), and an angle representing the round window visibility.
