Background: Chewing involves jaw movements that propel cerumen along the ear canal. This mechanism may be reduced in dysphagia, especially for older individuals who are enterally fed. Those patients may be at a higher risk for cerumen impaction and may require longer hospital stays.

Current therapeutic options are limited, due in part to drug exclusion by the blood-brain barrier (BBB). We have previously shown that high-amplitude repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) in rats allowed the delivery across the BBB of an IGF signaling inhibitor-IGF-Trap.

- The study compared outcomes of two surgical fixation methods—transiliac-transsacral screw fixation (TIS) and lumbopelvic fixation (LPS)—for treating certain sacral fractures in patients with minimal displacement.
- Both groups showed no significant differences in low back pain and mobility post-surgery at multiple check-in points, indicating similar recovery experiences.
- However, the TIS group had shorter surgery times, less blood loss, fewer reoperations, and a shorter hospital stay compared to the LPS group, suggesting TIS may be a more efficient option.
