Background: Numerous studies have found that patients experiencing sudden sensorineural hearing loss (SSHL), with or without accompanying vertigo, often show impaired vestibular function. However, there is a dearth of studies analyzing vestibular-evoked myogenic potentials (VEMPs) in SSHL patients across various age groups.
Aim: To investigate vestibular condition in SSHL patients across various age demographics.
Oropharyngeal stenosis (OPS) is a relatively rare long-term complication of tonsillectomy in children, resulting from the narrowing of the upper aerodigestive tract between the soft palate, pharyngeal sidewalls, and base of the tongue. This is the first reported case of OPS due to significant scar hyperplasia; however, whether it is as prone to recurrence as skin scar hypertrophy remains unknown. In this article, we present the case of a 5-year-old girl who presented to our otolaryngology clinic with sleep snoring and suffocation.

- Sudden sensorineural hearing loss (SSNHL) frequently occurs with benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV), but effective treatments for secondary BPPV related to SSNHL remain understudied, especially within the first week of onset.
- A study involving 90 patients with BPPV and SSNHL and 210 with primary BPPV aimed to compare treatment methods, including medication and manual reduction techniques.
- Findings indicated that neither manual reduction nor medication provided significant advantages for treating secondary BPPV in the first week, highlighting the need for effective medication specifically for SSNHL.
Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo with congenital nystagmus: A case report.
World J Clin Cases
November 2022
Background: Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) is a form of temporary vertigo induced by moving the head to a specific position. It is a self-limited, peripheral, vestibular disease and can be divided into primary and secondary forms. Congenital nystagmus (CN), an involuntary, rhythmic, binocular-symmetry, conjugated eye movement, is found at birth or within 3 mo of birth.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigated the relationship between valve-related hemodynamics and matrix proteases affecting medial elastin degeneration in two types of bicuspid aortopathy: ascending and root morphotypes.
- Four-dimensional flow cardiac MRI measured wall shear stress (WSS) in the ascending aorta, while matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) levels were analyzed to see how they related to the thinning of elastic fibers.
- Results showed that while increased WSS correlated with medial elastin thinning in both morphotypes, different MMP isoforms were linked to degradation in each type, indicating distinct pathways for medial elastin degradation despite similar hemodynamic effects.
Objective: To investigate a technical method for harvesting and using the descending branch of the lateral circumflex femoral artery (DLCFA) in coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG).
Methods: Between January 2017 and January 2019, 40 patients (36 in the planed selection group and 4 in the temporary decision group) with mean age of 49.1 ± 7.
