Simulators allow junior otolaryngology residents to practice the delicate procedure of pressure equalization tube (PET) insertion. However, most simulators lack the ability to mimic the differing anatomic complexities between patients, such as variable external auditory canal (EAC) size. We developed a novel low-cost, medium-fidelity 3-dimensional-printed PET simulator with different EAC sizes to better reflect procedure complexity.

Background: Identifying women at highest or lowest risk of perinatal intensive care unit (ICU) admission may enable clinicians to risk stratify women antenatally so that enhanced care or elective admission to ICU may be considered or excluded in birthing plans. We aimed to develop a statistical model to predict the risk of maternal ICU admission.
Methods: We studied 762,918 pregnancies between 2005 and 2018.

Background: Neuromodulation has been shown to increase the efficacy of atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation procedures. However, despite its ability to influence the autonomic nervous system (ANS), the exact mechanism of action remains unclear. The activity of the ANS via the intracardiac nervous system (ICNS) can be inferred from heart rate variability (HRV).

Introduction: Foot bimalleolar angle (FBM angle) and Pirani score are recognized as assessment and prognostic tools for objective assessment of clubfoot (congenital talipes equinovarus, or CTEV) treatment. The present study proposed to study various factors that determine the improvement in FBM angle and Pirani score in patients treated by the Ponseti technique.
Materials And Methods: This prospective observational study was conducted after obtaining ethical clearance, and 42 children with CTEV (60 feet) were enrolled.
