Mutation analysis of SLC26A4 (Pendrin) gene in a Brazilian sample of hearing-impaired subjects

BMC Medical Genetics, 2018
Background Mutations in the SLC26A4 gene are associated with Pendred syndrome and autosomal recessive non-syndromic deafness (DFNB4). Both disorders have similar audiologic characteristics: bilateral hearing loss, often severe or profound, which may be ...

Cochlear Implant Outcomes and Genetic Mutations in Children with Ear and Brain Anomalies

BioMed Research International, Volume 2015, Issue 1, 2015., 2015
Background. Specific clinical conditions could compromise cochlear implantation outcomes and drastically reduce the chance of an acceptable development of perceptual and linguistic capabilities. These conditions should certainly include the presence of inner ear malformations or brain abnormalities.

Male and female human papilloma virus infection and assisted reproductive technology outcomes: A comprehensive assessment from prevalence in semen to obstetric outcomes

Journal of Medical Virology, Volume 96, Issue 10, October 2024.
Abstract Infertility, affecting approximately 16% of the global population, has led to increased reliance on reproductive medicine. The impact of human papillomavirus (HPV) infection in one or both partners on outcomes of Assisted Reproduction Technologies (ART) remains unclear.

Spontaneous Bilateral Meningoencephalocoeles of the Temporal Bones

Case Reports in Otolaryngology, Volume 2013, Issue 1, 2013., 2013
Spontaneous tegmen tympani defects are rare with even rarer bilateral cases. The symptoms are nonspecific; hence, a high index of suspicion is required to prevent serious intracranial complications. We present a case of spontaneous bilateral tegmen tympani defects with associated meningoencephalocoeles in a 54‐year‐old male who presented with the signs
