AI Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to explore how consistent use of hearing aids affects children's speech perception and vocabulary.
- The analysis involved 29 children with hearing loss, looking at various factors like hearing aid usage, speech intelligibility, and vocabulary test scores.
- Results indicated a positive link between vocabulary growth and increased hearing aid usage, highlighting the importance of regular device use in improving auditory skills.
Article Abstract
Purpose: To verify the relationship between consistency in the use of hearing aids, auditory speech perception and vocabulary in children using hearing aids.
Methods: The population of Pereira's (2023) study was resumed and the database was analyzed containing information about the Speech Intelligibility Index (SII) for input sounds of 65 dBSPL (with or without hearing aids) of 29 children with neurosensorial hearing loss and hearing aid users bilaterally, with oral language, the number of hours per day of use of the device, four-tone average, results of the repetition of words with or without meaning in 65 dBSPL, Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test - PPVT. The consistency of the use was analyzed through measuring the auditory dosage which takes into account the average of use hours and the audibility with or without the device.
Results: The PPVT has a positive correlation with the SII with the device at 65 dBSPL. The four-tone average has a significant negative correlation with the SII in both conditions; and the same happens with the hours on daily usage. The dosage has a significant positive correlation with the SII and negative with the PTA.
Conclusion: The receptive vocabulary tends to grow alongside with the audibility dosage increment. Results suggest that listening experience, involving the audibility with or without the device and the consistency of the device daily use must be considered throughout the whole process of the rehabilitation.

Pancreatic cancer is usually associated with a poor prognosis. Surgery is the main curative treatment but pancreatic operations are aggressive and new tools that help clinicians to predict surgical and prognostic outcomes are necessary. Lu recently published a retrospective, single centre cohort study evaluating the impact of seven nutritional and inflammatory markers in pancreatic cancer surgical patients: The albumin-to-globulin ratio, prognostic nutritional index (PNI), systemic immune-inflammation index (SII), neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), nutritional risk index, and the geriatric nutritional risk index.

Introduction: This study aimed to investigate the relationship between the pan-immune-inflammation value (PIV), systemic immune-inflammation index (SII), and systemic inflammation response index (SIRI) and disease activity in rheumatoid arthritis (RA), characterized by chronic inflammation and immune system involvement, and to provide new insights into the clinical implications of RA.
Material And Methods: A total of 148 participants, including 97 RA patients (both newly diagnosed and established cases) and 51 healthy controls, were included in the study. Disease severity was assessed using the Disease Activity Score 28 (DAS28), and the relationship between DAS28 and PIV, SII, and SIRI, obtained from complete blood count results, was investigated.

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a chronic inflammatory lung disease, and inflammation plays a key role in the pathogenesis of COPD. The aim of this study is to investigate the association between systemic immune inflammation index (SII), systemic inflammatory response index (SIRI),pan-immune inflammation value (PIV), neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), and platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) and all-cause mortality in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and to evaluate the effect of composite inflammatory markers on the prognosis of COPD patients. We obtained data on COPD patients from the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care (MIMIC) -IV database and divided patients into four groups based on quartiles of baseline levels of inflammatory markers, The primary outcomes were in-hospital and ICU mortality.

Objectives: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) represents a significant and persistent metabolic disorder, emerging as a leading factor contributing to infertility. Despite its profound impact, there remains an inadequate understanding of the global burden of PCOS-related infertility across diverse regions and countries. The aim of this study was to evaluate the global, regional, and national burden of PCOS-related infertility from 1990 to 2019.
