Case Report: Flap Management in Cochlear Implant to Avoid Magnet Retention Difficulties
This study presents a surgical technique for positioning the cochlear implant receiver coil above the temporal muscle, avoiding tissue resections and ensuring proper magnetic retention postoperatively. Preoperative assessment of flap thickness is crucial to prevent magnetic coupling issues and reduce long‐term complications.

Conservation of Neuron‐Astrocyte Correlated Activity in Developing Sensory Pathways
Astrocytes and neurons in the superior colliculus exhibit spatiotemporal correlated activity before eye opening. Each neuronal wave is followed by a calcium wave in astrocytes. Spillover of glutamate activates mGluR5 and mGluR3 in astrocytes. ABSTRACT Neurons in developing sensory organs exhibit prolonged burst firing before the onset of sensory ...

The Management of Congenital Cytomegalovirus Infection in an Era of Universal Newborn CMV Screening
ABSTRACT The most common infectious disease responsible for paediatric developmental disability is congenital infection with human cytomegalovirus (cCMV). Many serious sequelae are caused by cCMV, including microcephaly, intracranial calcifications, neuronal migration defects, seizure disorders, developmental delay, and sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL)

Congenital CMV and Hearing Loss—How Does it Happen and How to Prevent it
ABSTRACT Congenital cytomegalovirus (cCMV) is found worldwide and significantly contributes to permanent childhood hearing loss. CMV has been known to cause sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) for more than half a century, and CMV‐related hearing loss has consistently been present in all childhood populations where infants with cCMV have been identified ...
