Background And Objectives: This study was aimed at assessing recovery from otitis media (OM) and variables associated with it among 1- to 6-year-old children. Subjects and.
Methods: We assessed 87 children with OM otologically and audiologically. Medicines were prescribed, and medication compliance was ensured. The children were followed up after 3 months to judge the status of OM as resolved or recurrent. Data were statistically analyzed to derive the risk of recurrence of OM with effusion (OME) and acute OM by degree of hearing loss, type of tympanogram, age group, and sex.
Results: The overall recurrence rate was 26%. The risk of recurrence was higher for OME (odds ratio [OR]=4.33; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.90 to 9.83); at AC auditory brainstem peak V responses up to 40 dBnHL (OR=5.20; 95% CI: 2.05 to 13), 50 dBnHL (OR=3.47; 95% CI: 0.5 to 23), and 60 dBnHL (OR=16.09; 95% CI: 4.36 to 1.2); in B (OR= 3.16; 95% CI: 1.36 to 7.33) and C tympanograms (OR=2.83; 95% CI: 0.70 to 11.41); and in the age group of 5-6 years (OR=8, 95% CI: 2.23 to 28). The risk of recurrence of OM did not differ between male and female patients.
Conclusions: The rate of recurrence was comparable to or lower than that reported in the pediatric population of other countries. The findings suggest that children with OME, severe pathology, or age of 5-6 years require more attention and frequent monitoring to minimize the risk of recurrence.

A population-based cohort study of perinatal mental illness following traumatic brain injury.
Epidemiol Psychiatr Sci
March 2025
Dalla Lana School of Public Health, University of Toronto, Toronto, ON, Canada.
Aims: To examine the risk of perinatal mental illness, including new diagnoses and recurrent use of mental healthcare, comparing women with and without traumatic brain injury (TBI), and to identify injury-related factors associated with these outcomes among women with TBI.
Methods: We conducted a population-based cohort study in Ontario, Canada, of all obstetrical deliveries to women in 2012-2021, excluding those with mental healthcare use in the year before conception. The cohort was stratified into women with no remote mental illness history (to identify new mental illness diagnoses between conception and 365 days postpartum) and those with a remote mental illness history (to identify recurrent illnesses).
Cystoscopy to investigate the prevalence of prostatic utricle cyst in boys with proximal hypospadias and its implications in medium-term follow-up.

Division of Paediatric Surgery & Paediatric Urology, Department of Surgery, Prince of Wales Hospital, The Chinese University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong, Hong Kong SAR, China.
Purpose: Prostatic utricle cyst (PUC) is known to be associated with hypospadias. We aimed to investigate the prevalence of PUC in children with proximal hypospadias by cystoscopy, and risk of symptom development after hypospadias repair.
Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the records of patients who underwent 2-stage repair for proximal hypospadias and had cystoscopy for PUC assessment over the period of January 2017-September 2022.
Clinicopathological and molecular features of HR /HER2 breast cancer patients with distinct endocrine resistance patterns.

Key Laboratory of Breast Cancer in Shanghai, Department of Breast Surgery, Fudan University Shanghai Cancer Center, Shanghai 200032, China.
Objective: Recurrence continues to be a pivotal challenge among hormone receptor-positive (HR)/human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-negative (HER2) breast cancers. In the international consensus guidelines, HR/HER2 breast cancer relapse patterns are divided into three distinct types: primary resistant, secondary resistant, and endocrine sensitive. However, owing to the lack of cohorts with treatment and follow-up data, the heterogeneity among different recurrence patterns remains uncharted.

Objective: The trial was designed to evaluate the efficacy of prophylactic hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) with cisplatin for patients with locally advanced gastric cancer (LAGC).
Methods: Between March 2015 and November 2016, a phase II clinical trial was performed. Fifty consecutive patients with LAGC were randomly assigned to two groups: the experimental group (radical gastrectomy + HIPEC with cisplatin + adjuvant chemotherapy) and the control group (radical gastrectomy + adjuvant chemotherapy).
CT-based radiomics-deep learning model predicts occult lymph node metastasis in early-stage lung adenocarcinoma patients: A multicenter study.

Department of Radiation Oncology, Shandong Cancer Hospital and Institute, Shandong First Medical University and Shandong Academy of Medical Science, Jinan 250117, China.
Objective: The neglect of occult lymph nodes metastasis (OLNM) is one of the pivotal causes of early non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) recurrence after local treatments such as stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) or surgery. This study aimed to develop and validate a computed tomography (CT)-based radiomics and deep learning (DL) fusion model for predicting non-invasive OLNM.
Methods: Patients with radiologically node-negative lung adenocarcinoma from two centers were retrospectively analyzed.
