Improved Bone Conduction and Hearing Outcomes After Stapes Surgery for Otosclerosis
ABSTRACT Objective To evaluate the improvement in bone conduction (BC) thresholds after stapes surgery for otosclerosis, compare the outcomes of surgical techniques, and analyze the short‐ and long‐term results to inform treatment strategies. Methods We retrospectively reviewed data from 173 patients (188 ears) who underwent total stapedectomy, partial

Subjective Visual Vertical Can be an Effective Tool to Evaluate Vestibular Function of Stapedotomy
ABSTRACT Objective To investigate if the subjective visual vertical/horizontal (SVV/SVH) can be used to evaluate the otolith organ of otosclerosis and stapedotomy. Design A total of 19 patients who were diagnosed with otosclerosis and underwent surgical treatment in our hospital were collected.

Drivers of phenological transitions in the seedling life stage
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Plant functional ecology research has primarily focused on juvenile and adult plants even though regeneration from seed can be the most consequential life‐history bottleneck with cascading influence on later stages of growth and reproduction.

Abstract A recent multicity procedural justice (PJ) training experiment at crime hot spots showed that police could be trained to behave in procedurally just ways, and that this behavioral change could lead to reductions in arrests, improved citizen evaluations of the police, and decreases in crime.

Hydraulic In Vitro Characterization of MR‐Conditional Blood Pumps
Cardiac surgery in neonates requires close placement of cardiopulmonary bypass machines due to limited blood volume, complicating MR compatibility. This study introduces three MR‐conditional blood pump prototypes. None interfered with MRI imaging, though RF‐related sensor effects remain untested.
