From Effectiveness to Long‐Term Impact. Sustainability of a Frugal Managed Surgical Consultation Network in Low‐Income Settings: Evidence From Malawi

World Journal of Surgery, EarlyView.
Digital technology holds transformative potential to address barriers to safe and timely surgical expertise and surgery in low‐resource settings, where shortages of specialists, fragmented referral systems, and limited infrastructure remain significant challenges. In 2018, Malawi launched a managed surgical clinical network (MCN) in the Southern region,

Expanding the Clinical Spectrum of DHX30‐Related Neurodevelopmental Disorder: A Case Report and a Scoping Review

Journal of Intellectual Disability Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Whole exome sequencing (WES) has improved diagnostic rates for neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs) while introducing challenges in novel variant interpretation. DHX30‐related NDD (DHX30‐NDD) is a recently described condition with an evolving phenotypic spectrum.

Search for a genetic cause in children with unilateral isolated microtia and congenital aural atresia

, 2022
: Purpose Microtia describes a spectrum of auricular malformations ranging from mild dysplasia to anotia. A vast majority of microtia patients demonstrate congenital aural atresia (CAA). Isolated microtia has a right ear predominance (58-61%) and is more

Sentio Bone‐Conduction Implant: Early Outcomes in Patients With Conductive or Mixed Hearing Loss

The Laryngoscope, Volume 136, Issue 11, Page 5035-5042, November 2026.
This study evaluated the initial clinical outcomes, safety, and audiological performance of the Sentio active bone‐conduction implant in patients with conductive or mixed hearing loss. Implantation resulted in significant improvements in hearing thresholds, speech recognition, speech perception in noise, and patient‐reported hearing benefit, with no ...

Machine Learning‐Based Risk Stratification Tool for Hearing Loss in High‐Risk Neonates

The Laryngoscope, Volume 136, Issue 11, Page 4755-4764, November 2026.
Machine learning models, particularly XGBoost, provide robust risk stratification for neonatal hearing loss by capturing complex interactions among clinical risk factors such as NICU stay duration and family history. To translate these predictive capabilities into routine practice, an open‐access web‐based clinical decision support tool was developed ...

Proteomic Signatures of Noise‐Induced Hearing Loss in the Mouse Cochlea

Cell Biology International, Volume 50, Issue 10, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Hearing loss affects over 1.5 billion people worldwide and has substantial social, educational, and economic consequences. Although genetic studies have identified numerous hearing‐loss‐associated genes, the molecular changes accompanying noise‐induced hearing loss (NIHL) remain incompletely understood.
