Unlabelled: The article is devoted to the problems of binaural cochlear implantation, especially in patients with a long time interval between surgeries. The purpose of the study was to evaluate the effect of the time range between successive interventions in patients with binaural prosthetics using the CI system.
Materials And Methods: the study included 50 patients aged 10 to 14 years, divided into 3 study groups: patients with unilateral cochlear implantation (group I), patients with bilateral implantation with a less than 1 year range between operations (group II) and patients with bilateral implantation with a more than 5 year range between interventions (group III). Comparative analysis was carried out using speech audiometry in silence and noise, assessment of sound localization and questionnaires to assess the auditory dynamics and speech development.
Results: Patients in groups II and III showed comparable results in speech intelligibility in noise and sound localization. At the same time, these indicators turned out to be higher than in patients of group I. Patients from all three groups did not show statistically significant differences in speech intelligibility in silence and in the level of speech development.
Conclusion: a long interval (more than 5 years) after the first implantation should not be considered as a contraindication to binaural implantation.

Background: There is scarce data on the prognostic value of frailty in patients with Takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TCM). This study aimed to assess the association between frailty and in-hospital outcomes in patients with TCM.
Methods: Adult admissions with TCM were included using the 2016-2019 National Inpatient Sample database.
Vδ2 T-cells response in people with Mpox infection: a three-month longitudinal assessment.

The first evidence that Orthopoxvirus induced the expansion and the recall of effector innate Vδ2T-cells was described in a macaque model. Although, an engagement of αβ T-cells specific response in patients infected with human monkeypox (Mpox) was demonstrated, little is known about the role of γδ T-cells during Mpox infection. IFN-γ-producing γδ T-cells in the resistance to poxviruses may a key role in inducing a protective type 1 memory immunity.

Background And Hypothesis: Daprodustat, an oral hypoxia-inducible factor prolyl hydroxylase inhibitor, is approved for treatment of anemia in dialysis patients with CKD in some parts of the world. This subgroup analysis examined the efficacy and safety of daprodustat versus darbepoetin alfa in patients with anemia of CKD undergoing peritoneal dialysis (PD).
Methods: ASCEND-D (NCT02879305) was an open-label, Phase 3 trial; patients with CKD were randomized to daprodustat daily and epoetin alfa (HD patients) or darbepoetin alfa (PD patients).

Distinct molecular subtypes of muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC) may show different platinum sensitivities. Currently available data were mostly generated at transcriptome level and have limited comparability to each other. We aimed to determine the platinum sensitivity of molecular subtypes by using the protein expression-based Lund Taxonomy.

Background: The neuroanatomical basis of white matter fiber tracts in gait impairments in individuals suffering from Parkinson's Disease (PD) is unclear.
Methods: Twenty-four individuals living with PD and 29 Healthy Controls (HCs) were included. For each participant, two-shell High Angular Resolution Diffusion Imaging (HARDI) and high-resolution 3D structural images were acquired using the 3T MRI.
