Efficacy of microbial cell‐free DNA testing for detecting pathogens in pediatric patients with head and neck infections—An initial study

Pediatric Investigation, EarlyView.
We investigate the utility of microbial cell‐free DNA (mcfDNA) from the blood to predict surgical culture results. In this study, only 26.9% of patients had mcfDNA results that were considered predictive of the causative organism(s). There was a significant burden of contamination in the cohort, emphasizing that dedicated protocols must be followed ...

Single Incision Dual Cover with Temporoparietal Fascial Flap for Exposed Cochlear Implant: A Novel Take on a Workhorse Flap

Indian Journal of Plastic Surgery
Cochlear implant surgeries have become increasingly common in India, leading to a rise in complications such as cochlear implant exposure. To address this issue, we present a novel technique involving a single incision dual cover using the ...

A computational loudness model for electrical stimulation with cochlear implants [PDF]

arXiv
Cochlear implants (CIs) are devices that restore the sense of hearing in people with severe sensorineural hearing loss. An electrode array inserted in the cochlea bypasses the natural transducer mechanism that transforms mechanical sound waves into neural activity by artificially stimulating the auditory nerve fibers with electrical pulses.

Inner Ear Immunity and Audio‐Vestibular Dysfunction

Sensory Neuroscience, EarlyView.
Diagram of the immune response of the inner ear and associated damage. ABSTRACT The inner ear is a critical sensory organ regulated by the immune system to maintain balance and respond to external stimuli. Immune cells like macrophages, lymphocytes, neutrophils, and natural killer cells play important roles in inner ear immunity. Inflammatory mediators,

Biomimetic Robotics and Intelligence: A Survey

SmartBot, EarlyView.
Biomimetic robotics and intelligence, inspired by biological systems, integrate biology, engineering, and AI, develops robots capable of adapting to complex environments. By mimicking natural structures and cognitive processes, and employing algorithms like neural networks and genetic algorithms, these systems enhance autonomy and problem‐solving. This

Exploring the Impact of Cochlear Implant Stimulation Artefacts in EEG Recordings: Unveiling Potential Benefits [PDF]

arXiv
Given rising numbers of bilateral cochlear implant (CI) users, predominantly children, there is a clinical need for efficient and reliable tests that can objectively evaluate binaural hearing. These tests are crucial for guiding the setup of bilateral CIs to optimise delivery of binaural cues.
