To explore the normal reference range of Click-ABR latency and interwave period in 0-6 years old children, and to analyze the clinical characteristics of Click-ABR in children with sound transmission function is abnormal. A total of 1791(3582 ears) normal hearing children aged 0-6 years and 176(258 ears) conductive hearing loss children were selected for Click-ABR. The differences of Click-ABR parameters in children of different months were analyzed, and the correlation between the degree of conductive hearing loss and Click-ABR parameters was explored. The incubation period of wave Ⅰ was not correlated with the age of month, while the incubation period of wave Ⅲ, wave Ⅴ, waveⅠ-Ⅲ and wave Ⅰ-Ⅴ were highly correlated with the age of month. There was a positive correlation between the latency of wave Ⅰ and hearing threshold in the children with sound transmission function is abnormal under 80 dB nHL stimulation, and there was no difference between the standard values of wave Ⅰ-Ⅲ and Ⅰ-Ⅴ in the children with sound transmission function is abnormal and normal children. The latency of ABR wave Ⅲ and Ⅴ, and the interval between wave Ⅰ-Ⅲ and Ⅰ-Ⅴ shorten with the increase of age in children aged 0-6 years. The normal ABR values of children of different ages should be established in each hearing clinic for children as a reference. Combined with Click-ABR threshold and 80 dB nHL acoustic subwave Ⅰlatency, the abnormal conduction function can be preliminatively screened out, which should be further supplemented with other combinations of hearing diagnosis.

Importance: Although Medicare Advantage plans frequently offer dental benefits, enrollees report lower rates of dental care use and higher rates of unmet dental need compared with individuals with employer-sponsored benefits. It is unknown which attributes of Medicare Advantage dental plans are associated with enhanced dental care access.
Objective: To determine attributes of Medicare Advantage dental plans associated with higher rates of dental care use and lower rates of unmet dental need.

Importance: Black and Hispanic women in the US experience higher incidence rates of aggressive molecular subtypes of breast cancer, including triple-negative disease. However, how these rates are changing, particularly across different age groups, has not been well documented.
Objective: To assess changes in overall and subtype-specific breast cancer incidence rates in the US by age and race and ethnicity.
Purpose: This study aimed to compare the release of the iliopsoas tendon at two levels: proximally at the pelvic brim and distally near the lesser trochanter.
Methods: The study was a randomized clinical trial. It was done to check the equivalence between two parallel groups of patients with DDH of grade 2 or more who underwent open reduction operations for their hips: Group 1, division of the iliopsoas tendon at the pelvic brim, and Group 2, division of the tendon at the lesser trochanter level.

Purpose: This study aimed to compare the incidence of radiological adjacent segment disease (R-ASD) at L3/4 between patients with L4/5 degenerative spondylolisthesis (DS) who underwent L4/5 posterior lumbar interbody fusion (PLIF) and those who underwent microscopic bilateral decompression via a unilateral approach (MBDU) at L4/5. Our ultimate goal was to distinguish the course of natural lumbar degeneration from fusion-related degeneration while eliminating L4/5 decompression as a confounder.
Methods: Ninety patients with L4/5 DS who underwent L4/5 PLIF (n = 53) or MBDU (n = 37) and were followed for at least 5 years were retrospectively analyzed.

We present a case report of a 42-year-old female with post-West Nile virus meningoencephalitis who exhibited unique, long-latency diaphragm potentials evoked by transcranial and cervical magnetic stimulation after exposure to acute intermittent hypoxia (AIH). The subject was recruited for a study investigating AIH effects on respiratory motor function in healthy individuals. She had contracted West Nile virus infection 5 years before assessment that resulted in hospitalization and persistent allodynia but was not reported to the research team.
