Basing on the results of ultrasound dopplerography of the vertebral arteries of 337 patients with neurosensory hypoacusis (NSH), we identified 104 (30.9%) patients having vertebrobasilar hemodynamic disorders. We performed endaural phonoelectrophoresis of cavinton in modification, with application of the second electrode with vasoactive drugs on the region of cervical spine. This method of NSH treatment in patients with vertebral circulatory disorders showed clinical efficacy.

Internal Medicine, Central Michigan University, Saginaw, USA.
Lyme neuroborreliosis can present with isolated neurological manifestations, posing diagnostic challenges, especially in the absence of hallmark dermatological symptoms like erythema migrans. This case highlights a patient with isolated cervical radiculopathy due to Lyme neuroborreliosis, presenting without systemic features such as fever, arthralgia, or rash. The diagnosis was confirmed through serological testing, with positive findings on the Western blot.

This study describes two siblings from consanguineous parents who exhibit intellectual disability, microcephaly, photosensitivity, bilateral sensorineural hearing loss, numerous freckles, and other clinical features that suggest a potential disruption of the nucleotide excision repair (NER) pathway. Whole exome sequencing (WES) identified a novel homozygous missense variant in the gene, which was predicted to be pathogenic. However, a subsequent peculiar audiometric finding prompted further investigation, revealing a homozygous deletion in the gene linked to neurosensorial hearing loss.

Background: Sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) is the most common sensory deficit worldwide. Current solutions for SNHL, including hearing aids, cochlear implants, and hearing assistive devices, do not provide consistent results and fail to address the underlying pathology of hair cell and ganglion cell damage. Stem cell therapy is a cornerstone in regenerative medicine.

Article Synopsis
- *This study focused on the genetic causes of HI in the Malian population through whole exome sequencing, uncovering variants in multiple known HI genes and identifying a novel candidate gene, UBFD1.
- *Results showed that 75% of the examined families had identifiable causes for HI, with many variants being newly identified and a case of digenic inheritance observed.
