Sodium Fluoride for Otosclerosis: A Systematic Review and Meta‐analysis

Otolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Sodium fluoride has historically been used to slow progression of hearing loss in patients with otosclerosis, yet the contemporary clinical benefit and optimal daily dose remain unclear. We performed a systematic review and meta‐analysis to evaluate audiologic outcomes associated with fluoride therapy.

Mechanical, rheological, and durability performances of GGBS‐based concrete for potential application to prestressed structures

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract Ground granulated blast‐furnace slag (GGBS) is a widely used clinker substitute in concrete, recognized for its potential to significantly reduce environmental impacts. However, its application in prestressed concrete remains limited in several countries, mainly due to concerns regarding early‐age mechanical performance and long‐term ...

Anatomical Characteristics of the Facial Nerve in Patients With Cochlear Hypoplasia

World Journal of Otorhinolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective To quantitatively characterize the spatial relationships between intratemporal facial nerve segments and key cochlear implantation (CI) landmarks in cochlear hypoplasia (CH), and to compare these features with age‐matched CI recipients with normal inner ear anatomy, thereby informing preoperative planning and facial nerve ...

Unveiling Otolith Mystery: Contemporary Testing Approaches and Their Clinical Significance

World Journal of Otorhinolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Otolith is a critical component of the peripheral vestibular system responsible for detecting linear acceleration. Dysfunction of the otolith organs can lead to vertigo, balance disturbances, and gaze instability. By elucidating the physiological foundations and evaluating both current and emerging methods for assessing otolith ...

Unravelling the phylogeny of armadillos and their kin (Mammalia, Xenarthra, Cingulata) combining morphological, molecular, and stratigraphic data

Cladistics, EarlyView.
Abstract Cingulata, a major lineage of Xenarthra, comprises extinct and extant armoured placental mammals that diversified throughout the Cenozoic. Despite extensive study, phylogenetic hypotheses based on morphological and molecular data remain incongruent, and no total evidence analysis has been conducted. Here, we integrate the largest morphological

Computed tomographic diagnosis and treatment of pneumolabyrinth in a mare with temporohyoid osteoarthropathy

Equine Veterinary Education, EarlyView.
Summary Pneumolabyrinth, which is the presence of gas within the labyrinth of the inner ear, can be associated with severe peripheral vestibular signs. This report describes a case of pneumolabyrinth in a horse that presented with vestibular ataxia. An 8‐year‐old Quarter Horse mare that presented with cranial nerve VII deficits underwent a standing ...

Constrictions and shear stress are key determinants of amyloidogenic light chain (AL) amyloidosis

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
In this study, we investigate how flow constrictions and shear stress trigger cardiac antibody light chain (AL) fibril formation and deposition. We mimic the mechanical forces exerted by the heart and the microvasculature network using a mini‐peristaltic pump setup and a grid‐type microchannel network, respectively.
