A high jugular bulb is often discovered as an incidental finding that is asymptomatic. Conductive hearing loss in association with this anomaly may occur, but has been reported infrequently in the literature. We report five cases of high jugular bulb and associated conductive hearing loss. Mechanisms to explain the conductive hearing loss include contact of the jugular bulb with the tympanic membrane, interference with the ossicular chain, and obstruction of the round window niche. The operative findings, radiographic and audiometric data that support these mechanisms of conductive hearing loss are presented.

Background: Intensive care unit (ICU) admissions can be traumatic for critically ill, ventilated acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) patients due to fear of death, an inability to verbally communicate, reliance on health care professionals, and invasive medical interventions. Adult ARDS patients hospitalized during the COVID-19 pandemic were strictly isolated and had limited to no visitation from loved ones, impacting their access to support systems.
Objective: To explore the memories and sensory triggers for them (if applicable) of adult ARDS survivors hospitalized during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Synthetic Strategies for the Development of Novel Heterocycles as Larvicides Targeting Aedes aegypti Linn.

Background: Owing to their extensive utilization as pesticides, heterocycles assume a fundamental role in the management of vector-borne diseases. Despite the presence of numerous heterocyclic compounds in commercial insecticides and larvicides, resistance to pesticides still demands novel strategies to current pest control methods. Considering these facts, this review aims to survey the synthesis and SAR of heterocyclic molecules with larvicidal activity against Aedes aegypti Linn.

Introduction: Tinnitus is one of the symptoms of presbycusis that affects patients' sleep and social life. This study aimed to determine the effect of coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) on treating tinnitus due to presbycusis.
Materials And Methods: In this double-blind, randomized clinical trial, 50 patients with tinnitus due to presbycusis were randomly divided into groups A and B, with 25 patients in each group.
The Benefits of Hearing Aids for Adults: A Systematic Umbrella Review.
Ear Hear
January 2025
Department of Health Sciences, Faculty of Medicine Health and Human Sciences, Macquarie University, North Ryde, New South Wales, Australia.
Objectives: This umbrella review aims to summarize the major benefits of hearing aid usage in adults by synthesizing findings from published review articles.
Design: A comprehensive search of databases, including MEDLINE, EMBASE, PsycINFO, and Google Scholar, was conducted. The search was limited to English-language review articles published between 1990 and 2023, focusing on hearing aid outcomes in at least 5 adults (aged ≥18 years).
