Functional reassessment of extended splice region variants in MYO7A with hearing loss and Usher syndrome

The Journal of Pathology, Volume 269, Issue 2, Page 222-231, June 2026.
Abstract MYO7A is a causal gene, underlying Usher syndrome type 1B (USH1B) and both autosomal recessive (DFNB2) and dominant (DFNA11) non‐syndromic hearing loss. Despite the large number of reported MYO7A variants (over 2,200), variants located in an extended splice region remain difficult to interpret and are often classified as variants of uncertain ...

Improved Bone Conduction and Hearing Outcomes After Stapes Surgery for Otosclerosis

World Journal of Otorhinolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, Volume 12, Issue 3, Page 298-304, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Objective To evaluate the improvement in bone conduction (BC) thresholds after stapes surgery for otosclerosis, compare the outcomes of surgical techniques, and analyze the short‐ and long‐term results to inform treatment strategies. Methods We retrospectively reviewed data from 173 patients (188 ears) who underwent total stapedectomy, partial

Risk Factors and Predictive Model for Otitis Media With Effusion After Radiotherapy in Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma: A Retrospective Study

World Journal of Otorhinolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, Volume 12, Issue 3, Page 305-315, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Objective To investigate the impact of different radiation fields on the risk of otitis media with effusion (OME) in nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) patients and to develop a nomogram to identify high‐risk patients after radiotherapy. Methods Clinical data were collected from 170 NPC patients who underwent radiotherapy at Peking Union Medical ...

Within‐ and Between‐Channel Gaps Elicit Mismatch Negativity in the Aging Brain

European Journal of Neuroscience, Volume 63, Issue 11, June 2026.
This study examined the cortical responses of older and younger adults with normal hearing to silent gaps using EEG and behavioral gap detection. Behavioral gap detection thresholds did not differ across conditions in older adults. DRN and peak‐to‐peak DRN‐P2/P3a demonstrate subtle neural alterations in temporal resolution that may precede behavioral ...
