Congenital earlobe clefts (CELC) may be annoying for the plastic surgeons. Many classifications and techniques were described for CELC. The previously described techniques are useful in some conditions, but not proper in all. We present a simple, effective method for a rare CELC 'triple lobe' in this article.

Comparison of behind-the-ear vs. off-the-ear speech processors in cochlear implants: A systematic review and narrative synthesis.
PLoS One

Department of Clinical Neurosciences, University of Cambridge, Cambridge, United Kingdom.
Background: Cochlear implants (CI) with off-the-ear (OTE) and behind-the-ear (BTE) speech processors differ in user experience and audiological performance, impacting speech perception, comfort, and satisfaction.
Objectives: This systematic review explores audiological outcomes (speech perception in quiet and noise) and non-audiological factors (device handling, comfort, cosmetics, overall satisfaction) of OTE and BTE speech processors in CI recipients.
Methods: We conducted a systematic review following PRISMA-S guidelines, examining Medline, Embase, Cochrane Library, Scopus, and ProQuest Dissertations and Theses.
Contemporary clinical perspectives on chronic low back pain: The biology, mechanics, etc. underpinning clinical and radiological evaluation.

Background: Pain of a chronic nature remains the foremost concern in tertiary spine clinics, yet its elusive nature and quantification challenges persist. Despite extensive research and education on low back pain (LBP), the realm of diagnostic practices lacks a unified approach. Clinically, LBP exhibits a multifaceted character, encompassing conventional assessments of severity and disability, alongside nuanced attributes like pain characterization, duration, and patient expectations.

Vaginal agenesis, a rare and complex congenital anomaly predominantly linked to Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser (MRKH) syndrome or complete androgen insensitivity syndrome (CAIS), demands innovative and highly individualized treatment strategies to achieve anatomical and functional restoration. While non-surgical options like vaginal dilation remain foundational, the advent of custom-made stents has redefined the paradigm of care, emerging as a transformative tool in both post-surgical and non-surgical management. Bridging the expertise of prosthodontics and gynecology, personalized stents not only enhance healing and maintain patency but also elevate patient comfort and compliance.

Symptomatic carotid disease, characterized by atherosclerotic or non-atherosclerotic internal carotid artery disease with ipsilateral stroke symptoms, represents a critical condition in stroke neurology. This "hot carotid" state carries a high risk of stroke recurrence, with almost one-fourth of the patients experiencing recurrent ischemic events within 2 weeks of initial presentation. The global prevalence of significant carotid stenosis (conventionally defined as ≥50% narrowing) is estimated at around 1.

Opioid use disorder (OUD) is considered a global health issue that affects various aspects of patients' lives and poses a considerable burden on society. Due to the high prevalence of remissions and relapses, novel therapeutic approaches are required to manage OUD. Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is one of the most promising clinical breakthroughs in translational neuroscience.
