Life after stroke: changes in sensory health and the impact on participation.

Background: Research has demonstrated that adults post-stroke may experience sensory impairments across different sensory systems. There is a gap in research describing how sensory changes after stroke affect participation in health promoting activities.

Objectives: The purpose of this study is to understand how changes in sensory health after stroke affect participation in meaningful activities.

Mucosal signatures of pathogenic T cells in HLA-B*27+ anterior uveitis and axial spondyloarthritis.

HLA-B*27 was one of the first HLA alleles associated with an autoimmune disease, i.e., axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) and acute anterior uveitis (B27AAU), which cause joint and eye inflammation, respectively.

Early effects of very early cochlear implant activation on tinnitus.

Background: Cochlear implantation (CI) has long been the standard of care for patients with severe-to-profound hearing impairment. Yet the benefits of CI extend far beyond speech understanding, with mounting recent literature supporting its role in tinnitus abatement. However, those studies have uniformly analyzed the effects of tinnitus after the traditional 3-4 weeks waiting period between CI surgery and device activation.
