Background: Gyrate atrophy of the choroid and retina is a rare autosomal recessive metabolic disorder caused by biallelic variants in the OAT gene, encoding the enzyme ornithine δ-aminotransferase. Impaired enzymatic activity leads to systemic hyperornithinaemia, which in turn underlies progressive chorioretinal degeneration. In this study, we describe the clinical and molecular findings in a cohort of individuals with gyrate atrophy.

Objective: The purpose of this study is to analyze the clinical prognosis of idiopathic sudden sensorineural hearing loss in patients with total deafness, and to check the differences in different age groups and hearing loss degrees.
Methods: From February 2021 to January 2022, 75 patients with complete deafness and idiopathic sudden sensorineural hearing loss were analyzed retrospectively. According to different age stages, they were divided into five groups: children's group, youth group, middle-aged group, pre-senile group and elderly group, with 15 cases in each group.

Background: The brain volume loss also known as brain atrophy is increasingly observed among children in the course of performing neuroimaging using CT scan and MRI brains. While severe forms of brain volume loss are frequently associated with neurocognitive changes due to effects on thought processing speed, reasoning and memory of children that eventually alter their general personality, most clinicians embark themselves in managing the neurological manifestations of brain atrophy in childhood and less is known regarding the offending factors responsible for developing pre-senile brain atrophy. It was therefore the goal of this study to explore the factors that drive the occurrence of childhood brain volume under the guidance of brain CT scan quantitative evaluation.
