Ipsilateral cochlear implantation in cases with vestibular schwannoma
Eye &ENT Research, EarlyView.Abstract Background Vestibular schwannomas (VS) are the most common tumors in the cerebellopontine angle, which can lead to hearing loss, particularly following tumor resection. For patients with bilateral VS associated with neurofibromatosis type 2 (NF2), hearing loss significantly undermines their quality of life.

Genetics update: monogenetics, polygene disorders and the quest for modifying genes [PDF]
, 2018 The genetic channelopathies are a broad collection of diseases. Many ion channel genes demonstrate wide phenotypic pleiotropy, but nonetheless concerted efforts have been made to characterise genotype-phenotype relationships.

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.The literature demonstrates that bone‐anchored hearing implants have a positive impact on auditory performance and quality of life (QoL), but these outcomes may not always correlate. This systematic review analyzed 56 articles to identify discrepancies in self‐reported, disease‐specific QoL benefits among patients with either unilateral sensorineural ...
