Background: Otitis media with effusion (OME) is associated with comorbidities such as allergic rhinitis, gastroesophageal reflux disease, asthma, and more. Many of these comorbidities can be caused by type 2 inflammation (T2I). This study aims to determine the risk of undergoing OME surgery in patients with and without T2I disease.

Objectives: Hearing loss is highly prevalent in older adults and is independently associated with accelerated cognitive decline. Cochlear implants are usually the only effective treatment for people with severe-profound hearing loss, who have the highest risk of cognitive decline and dementia, however, very few receive them. Current evidence of the effects of cochlear implant use on cognitive decline/dementia outcomes is limited and unclear.

Endoscopic ear surgery is currently widely applied in middle ear and lateral skull base procedures, driving the development of ear surgery towards minimally invasive approaches and function preservation. Endoscopic techniques offer many advantages. However, the learning curve is relatively steep, requiring surgeons to overcome challenges such as single-handed operation and a lack of spatial awareness.

During tissue regeneration, lineage-related cells can switch their fate to replace missing cells. This cell plasticity is particularly prominent in more regenerative vertebrates such as zebrafish, yet the molecular basis by which cells transdifferentiate into another cell type upon injury remains unclear. Here, we investigate the epigenetic basis of regenerative transdifferentiation in the inner ear, where supporting cells (SCs) generate mechanosensory hair cells (HCs) upon damage.

A large keloid on the right earlobe that extended to the infraauricular region was the reason for the 42-year-old woman's referral for treatment. The entire thickness of the earlobe was implicated in the surgical defect that resulted from the severe keloid excision. We employed a straightforward technique to provide a pleasing appearance while repairing the entire lobe in a single stage without the need for grafts.
