This is a retrospective chart review of newborns referred to audiology between June and December 2020. Newborns who failed or did not have an initial newborn hearing screening (NBHS) at an academic, tertiary care medical center, either in the nursery or in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) prior to discharge, were referred for a follow-up audiology appointment. Forty-three patients were included who failed or did not receive an NBHS. Of 43 patients, 15 (34.9%) did not receive an initial hearing test due to coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19 protocols). Of the 15, 7 (16.3% of total 43) newborns had mothers who refused COVID-19 screening, and 5/7 were lost to follow-up (11.6% of total). Another 7/15 newborns (16.3% of total) had a COVID-19-positive mother, and 1 of these 7 was lost to follow-up (2.3% of total). One of the 15 newborns (2.3% of total) had a pending maternal COVID-19 test result at discharge, and this patient was also lost to follow-up.

Sex-differences in the risk of carpal tunnel syndrome: results from a large Ontario, Canada worker cohort.
BMC Musculoskelet Disord
December 2024
Occupational Cancer Research Centre, Ontario Health, 525 University Avenue, 5th floor, Toronto, Ontario, M5G 2L3, Canada.
Background: Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is a prevalent cumulative strain injury associated with occupational risk factors such as vibration, repetitive and forceful wrist movements, and awkward wrist postures. This study aimed to identify Ontario workers at elevated risk for CTS and to explore sex differences in CTS risk among workers.
Methods: The Occupational Disease Surveillance System (ODSS) links accepted lost time compensation claims to health administrative databases.

Institut de la Main Nantes Atlantique, Boulevard Charles-Gautier, 44800 Saint-Herblain, France.
Objective: We present long-term results for the Pyrocardan®, a pyrocarbon trapeziometacarpal interposition implant used for the treatment of osteoarthritis of the thumb.
Methods: Between March 2009 and May 2013, 199 arthroplasties were performed in a single hand center, in 184 patients by 6 hand surgeons. 107 implants were followed up for a mean 137 months (range, 120 to 168 months).
Structural remodeling of the brain cortex and functional recovery following hypoglossal-facial neurorrhaphy in patients with facial paralysis.

Electronic address:
Objective: Peripheral nerve injury results in functional alterations of the corresponding active brain areas, which are closely related to functional recovery. Whether such functional plasticity induces relative anatomical structural changes remains to be investigated.
Methods: In this study, we investigated the changes in brain cortical thickness in patients with facial paralysis following neurorrhaphy treatment at different follow-up times.
Pediatric Graves' disease in Argentina: analyzing treatment strategies and outcomes.
J Pediatr Endocrinol Metab
December 2024
CONICET-FEI-División de Endocrinología, Centro de Investigaciones Endocrinológicas"Dr. César Bergadá" (CEDIE), Hospital de Niños Ricardo Gutiérrez, BuenosAires, Argentina.
Objectives: Graves' disease is the leading cause of hyperthyroidism in children. Only a small percentage of pediatric patients achieve remission with anti-thyroid drug treatment (ATD), and both definitive therapies (thyroidectomy, or radioiodine thyroid ablation) cause lifelong hypothyroidism. Our objective was to evaluate the outcome of patients with pediatric Graves' disease (PGD), treated at a single tertiary center, focusing on response to medical treatment, remission rate, adverse reactions (AR), definitive treatment (DT), and potential predictive factors for remission.
