Should Cochlear Implant Contraindicate Transcranial Stimulation? A Case Study with Safety Implications.
Laryngoscope
November 2024
The Pediatric Orthopedic Unit, Schneider Children's Medical Center, Petah Tikva, Israel.
Article Synopsis
- The use of electrical stimulation near cochlear implants (CIs) is typically not recommended due to risks of implant damage and inner ear injury, but it is essential during surgeries for monitoring nervous system integrity.
- A case study involving a patient with a CI who underwent two surgeries for scoliosis showed no auditory function loss or CI issues after the procedures, even with transcranial electrical stimulation used for monitoring.
- The findings support previous reports that indicate no failures of CIs or hearing deterioration from such stimulation, highlighting an urgent need for a reevaluation of current contraindications and a thorough risk analysis by manufacturers and regulatory bodies.
A novel copy number variant in the murine Cdh23 gene gives rise to profound deafness and vestibular dysfunction.

Hearing loss is the most common congenital sensory deficit worldwide and exhibits high genetic heterogeneity, making molecular diagnoses elusive for most individuals. Detecting novel mutations that contribute to hearing loss is crucial to providing accurate personalized diagnoses, tailored interventions, and improving prognosis. Copy number variants (CNVs) are structural mutations that are understudied, potential contributors to hearing loss.

Western Ultrasound for Women, Murdoch, Western Australia, Australia.
Introduction: Gender inequity among representative leadership in Clinical Radiology is a global issue, with the lack of gender diversity in leadership even more marked when compared to workforce representation. Women leaders face a disproportionate magnitude of seen and unseen challenges to leadership engagement and progression when compared to men (a 'glass labyrinth'), which is likely contributing to this discrepancy. The aim of the study was to examine and reflect on the state of gender diversity in representative leadership within the RANZCR Faculty of Clinical Radiology.

It is important for health organizations to monitor progress toward gender equity and inclusion goals among health human resources. Within the Canadian healthcare management workforce, however, recent investigations are lacking. This study examines gender differences in composition and compensation among health leadership in Canada using national census data.

Phys Ther
August 2020
Department of Physical Therapy, Miller School of Medicine, University of Miami, 5915 Ponce de Leon Boulevard, Coral Gables, FL 33146 (USA).
Objective: The modified Clinical Test of Sensory Interaction and Balance (mCTSIB) is used to clinically assess vestibular sensory integration (VSI), the process by which the central nervous system integrates vestibular afference to maintain balance. The rate and effects of impaired VSI (IVSI) on prosthetic mobility in people with lower limb amputation (LLA) is unknown. The objective of this study was to use the mCTSIB to classify VSI in active community ambulators with LLA and to examine the relationship between IVSI and prosthetic mobility, as measured by the Component Timed Up and Go (cTUG) test.
