Intracochlear Inflammatory Response to Cochlear Implant Electrodes in the Human

Otology and Neurotology, 2014
Hypothesis This study evaluates the types and degrees of tissue response adjacent to the electrode of multichannel cochlear implants. Background Cochlear implant electrodes have been classified as biocompatible prostheses.

Real world testing and cost‐effectiveness analysis of subcutaneous EEG (REAL‐ASE): Protocol for a prospective multicentre interventional trial

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Epilepsy is a common condition associated with significant morbidity, mortality, and costs. Poor documentation of seizures is a major challenge in epilepsy care. Objective seizure counting with mobile devices may mitigate this challenge and improve patient management.

Cochlear Implants and Adult Patient Experiences, Adaptation and Challenges: A Survey

Audiology Research
Background: Cochlear implants (CIs) are a life-changing treatment for individuals with severe to profound hearing loss, yet adult CI uptake remains low despite high clinical and economic effectiveness.

Impact of Electrode Design and Surgical Approach on Scalar Location and Cochlear Implant Outcomes

The Laryngoscope, 2014
Three surgical approaches: cochleostomy (C), round window (RW), and extended round window (ERW); and two electrodes types: lateral wall (LW) and perimodiolar (PM), account for the vast majority of cochlear implantations.

Understanding the Symptom Burden of Complex Skull Base Tumors From the Patient's Perspective

Head &Neck, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Symptom burden of skull base tumor (SBT) patients, especially those undergoing multimodality treatment, is poorly understood. We aim to understand symptom burden in this patient group using the core module the MD Anderson Symptom Inventory (MDASI).

‘Pre‐Technologies’ and the Lifeworld: Assistive Technologies as ‘Pre‐Technologies’ for Self‐Formation as Freedom

Journal of Applied Philosophy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article identifies assistive technologies (ATs) as ‘pre‐technologies’ mediating access to other technologies for disabled subjects (DSs). The motivation is to show that without ATs, DSs cannot be said to have the same level of access to freedom and self‐forming activities as able‐bodied subjects.

A parametric electrophysiological–transcriptomic map of MscL‐G22S sonogenetic neuromodulation in the rat hippocampus: Toward precision ultrasound neuromodulation

Journal of Intelligent Medicine, EarlyView.
Using a factorial sweep of ultrasound fundamental and pulse repetition frequencies, we built a parametric electrophysiological–transcriptomic map of MscL‐G22S‐mediated hippocampal neuromodulation, providing reference data for precision, parameter‐aware ultrasound neuromodulation.

Is There a Role for Sodium Fluoride in Otosclerosis Treatment?

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
Various reports have investigated the role of NaF for stabilizing SNHL in the setting of otosclerosis; however, there currently remains no established practice guideline or widespread consensus. The purpose of this paper is to interpret the literature to determine best practices for the use of NaF in otosclerosis management.
