Objective: To verify the effectiveness of a nursing training program in the area of children's hearing health using interactive tele-education.
Methods: Interrupted time series with non-random control group pre-test/ post-test. A cohort of 41 nurses, with no previous formal training in hearing health. A "Children's Hearing Health" Cybertutor was employed. The effectiveness of the nursing training was verified by comparing pre- versus post-training performance and by analyzing responses to an evaluation questionnaire.
Results: Following training, the performance was significantly better in all domains assessed and in the total score. The evaluation questionnaire demonstrated that the Cybertutor was well accepted and the performance revealed in the pre-training phase demonstrated the need for children´s hearing health training.
Conclusion: The effectiveness of the nursing training program in the area of Children's Hearing Health using interactive tele-education could be proven, since there was an improvement in performance in all domains evaluated.

Background: Alström syndrome (AS) is a recessively inherited genetic condition which is ultra-rare and extremely complex. Symptoms include retinal dystrophy, nystagmus, photophobia, hearing loss, obesity, insulin resistance, diabetes and cardiomyopathy. The condition is progressive, but it is important to note that not all the complications associated with AS occur in everyone affected.

Background: Hearing loss significantly affects children's lives; however, the health-related quality of life (QoL) of children with this disability is not well measured. We sought to develop a reliable and valid measure of health-related QoL in children with hearing loss.
Methods: We constructed a conceptual framework to assess the QoL of children with hearing loss based on the Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory™ Version 4.

Objectives: Previous studies have established a correlation between frailty and an increased risk of falls among middle-aged and elderly individuals within community settings. The frailty status of hospitalized and community-dwelling adults aged 60 or older with hip fractures is poorly investigated. This study aims to examine the relationship between frailty status and falls in China among community-dwelling and hospitalized individuals with hip fractures aged 60 and older.

Non-syndromic hearing loss (NSHL) is a genetically heterogeneous disorder accounting for almost 70% of the total congenital hearing loss. The implementation of rapid advanced sequencing methods has significantly contributed to the correct molecular diagnosis for several rare genetic disorders, including NHSL. Features of two probands with NHSL were clinically and genetically evaluated.
