Objectives: In this study, we reported our experience with a new transcutaneous bone conduction hearing device, the Baha® Attract System.
Patients And Methods: This multi-center clinical study included the first 12 patients (8 females, 4 males; mean age 27.6 years; range 5 to 65 years) in whom a new transcutaneous bone conduction system was implanted in Turkey.
Results: The mean air-bone gap was 41 dB. Bone smoothing around the implant was needed in five patients. We placed a sound processor in the fourth postoperative week for all patients.
Conclusion: Our study results suggest that the new bone conduction implant is promising for the patients with conductive or mixed hearing loss who are unable to wear conventional air conduction hearing aid and comparable to percutaneous systems.

Objective: To describe the use of the TISA (Transcutaneous Implant Skin Anomalies) scale by members of the Colombian Association of Otology (ACON) in the evaluation of patients using bone conduction implants.
Methods: A cross-sectional descriptive observational study was conducted among the members of the Colombian Association of Otology. A voluntary survey was performed, where participants evaluated images of patients with transcutaneous bone conduction implants exhibiting different skin conditions.
MED-EL Bonebridge implantation in pediatric patients age 11 Years and younger: Is it safe and effective?

Department of Otolaryngology- Head and Neck Surgery, Emory University School of Medicine, Atlanta, GA, USA; Division of Otolaryngology, Children's Healthcare of Atlanta, Atlanta, GA, USA.
Objective: To present our experience with off-label MED-EL Bonebridge implantation in pediatric patients younger than 12 years of age and compare outcomes to pediatric patients 12 years and older.
Methods: Pediatric patients who underwent Bonebridge implantation were included in a retrospective cohort study and were categorized by off-label use (<12 years) and ≥12 years at time of bone conduction implantation (BCI). Hearing outcomes were collected after implant activation, which was typically 4-8 weeks post-implantation.
Intraosseous Transcutaneous Amputation Prosthesis (ITAP) compared to Exoprosthesis in veterinary medicine - a literature review.

Department for Companion Animals and Horses, University Clinic for Small Animals, Small Animal Surgery, University of Veterinary Medicine Vienna, Austria.
Objective: This literature review aims to provide an overview of the existing literature on intraosseous transcutaneous amputation prosthesis (ITAP) and stump socket prosthesis in amputated animals. The goal is to compare the advantages and disadvantages of ITAP with exoprosthesis use, given the importance of limb-sparing procedures in contemporary veterinary medicine.
Materials And Methods: A systematic research adhering to the PRISMA protocol was conducted using a time span from 2000 to 2023, focusing on papers detailing the clinical application of ITAP or exoprosthesis in small animals.

The Effect of Bone Mechanical Stress Caused by Electrical Stimulation-Induced Muscle Contraction on Osteocalcin Secretion.

Electrical stimulation-induced muscle contraction (ESMC) has demonstrated various physiological benefits, but its effects on the secretion of undercarboxylated osteocalcin (ucOC), a bone-derived cytokine, remain unclear. This study explored the relationship between ESMC, bone strain, and ucOC secretion through two experiments. In the first, young male Fischer 344 rats were divided into three groups: low-frequency ES (LF, 10 Hz), high-frequency ES (HF, 100 Hz), and control (CON).
