Utilizing single-cell transcriptome sequencing (scRNA-seq) technology, this study explores the viability of employing mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) as a therapeutic approach for age-related hearing loss (ARHL). The research demonstrates MSCs' ability to differentiate into inner ear cell subpopulations, particularly hair cells, delivering Apelin via extracellular vesicles (EVs) to promote M2 macrophage polarization. In vitro experiments show reduced inflammation and preservation of hair cell health.

Objectives: In this study we aimed to educate the reader about providing bipolar RF to various anatomic regions of the face.
Methods: A retrospective review of cases was conducted to assess the safety of zone-specific RF-assisted facial rejuvenation in S.

Introduction: A decrease in bone mineral density (BMD) accompanied by muscle weakness during aging significantly increases the probability of low-energy fracture occurrence, but it can also happen in those with a non-osteoporotic score (treatment gap). To improve the identification process of those at risk, the authors proposed using the interconnectivity between bone mineral density and muscle tissue.
Material And Methods: A total of 20,776 patient records were collected from the database in the period 2008-2021.

Background: Hearing level reference values based on the results of recent audiometry have not been established for the general population of South Korea. This study aimed to evaluate the mean hearing levels of each age group and to measure the annual progression of hearing loss.
Methods: We used the database of the eighth and ninth Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey from 2020 to 2022, and included participants with normal tympanic membranes and without occupational noise exposure.

Health service policies are evolving into qualified health care providing best possible outcomes as well as focused on patient satisfaction. Hence the qualification valued health care includes patient satisfaction measurements, it is suggested to get feedbacks during the assessment of outcomes from the patient's perspective. Aging of the world population accelerates demand on rehabilitation medicine which means recovering impairments so is directly related with quality of life.
