Outcomes and Management of Infants Who Refer Newborn Hearing Screening
CONCLUSION: Our incidence of sensorineural hearing loss was 3.8% (95% CI 2.0, 5.5), compared to rates of 0.44 to 68% in the published literature. Most patients had normal hearing, usually identified after only 1 repeat test. OME requiring myringotomy tube insertion was the most common pathology requiring intervention. Close observation for resolution and intervention, if warranted, is critical to prevent sequelae.PMID:37322843 | DOI:10.1177/00034894231180949 (Source: The Annals of Otology, Rhinology, and Laryngology)

Interommatidial cells build a tensile collagen network during Drosophila retinal morphogenesis
Curr Biol. 2023 May 12:S0960-9822(23)00549-3. doi: 10.1016/j.cub.2023.04.066. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTDrosophila compound eye morphogenesis transforms a simple epithelium into an approximate hollow hemisphere comprised of ∼700 ommatidia, packed as tapering hexagonal prisms between a rigid external array of cuticular lenses and a parallel, rigid internal floor, the fenestrated membrane (FM). Critical to vision, photosensory rhabdomeres are sprung between these two surfaces, grading their length and shape accurately across the eye and aligning them to the optical axis. Using fluorescently tagged collagen and laminin,...
