Ossicular Reconstruction With Various Degrees of Malleus Preservation in Patients With Chronic Otitis Media
Conclusions: Our results indicate that complex cases compromised by adhesions, cholesteatoma, and cholesterol granuloma have worse outcomes regarding hearing improvement and success rates, while those with intact stapes suprastructure have better outcomes. Malleus was maximally preserved in the patients of this study; however, this showed no significant prognostic benefit in hearing.PMID:38411122 | DOI:10.1177/01455613241230843 (Source: Ear, Nose and Throat Journal)

Pediatric Pterygopalatine Fossa Schwannoma Presenting as Vision Loss: A Case Report and Literature Review
In this report, we present the unique case of a 6-year-old child exhibiting a sizable soft tissue mass in the left PPF, extending into the inferior orbital fissure. The patient underwent successful intranasal endoscopic removal of PPF schwannoma utilizing the prelacrimal recess approach, with postoperative pathology confirming the diagnosis of schwannoma. Schwannomas within the PPF are particularly uncommon, and instances of such tumors in pediatric patients are even more exceptional. This case highlights the diagnostic and therapeutic challenges associated with PPF schwannomas in children, emphasizing the significance of ...

Factors Affecting Visual-Only Speech Recognition in Individuals With Cochlear Implants
Conclusions: CI users followed a more complex method of perceptual compensation. Those who have suffered hearing loss between 3 and 8 years of age are more sensitive to developing an advantage in speech recognition by using speechreading. Older age positively affects speechreading abilities; thus, the more experience CI has, the greater speechreading ability they may exhibit.PMID:38404016 | DOI:10.1177/01455613241234821 (Source: Ear, Nose and Throat Journal)

Application of Biologic Graft in Nasal Septal Perforation Repair
Conclusion: Using a biologic graft to repair nasal septal perforations is an easy operation as it prevents the need to take autologous tissue from the patient, allows for a repair to be performed without creating septal flaps, and has good histocompatibility. It is a safe and effective method that can be used clinically.PMID:38404028 | DOI:10.1177/01455613241233748 (Source: Ear, Nose and Throat Journal)

Predictive Model for Prognosis of Sudden Sensorineural Hearing Loss by Nomogram
Conclusion: Age, duration from onset to treatment, audiometric configuration, ALB, and NLR are influencing factors for SSNHL. Duration from onset to treatment and audiometric configuration are independent risk factors for SSNHL. The nomogram presents the prognosis of patients with SSNHL in an intuitive, visual, and readable graph, providing clinicians with a personalized assessment.PMID:38400530 | DOI:10.1177/01455613241230823 (Source: Ear, Nose and Throat Journal)

Predictors of Success of Adenoidectomy in the Treatment of Pediatric Chronic Rhinosinusitis
Conclusions: Adenoidectomy is a good first-line surgery for children aged 12 years and younger, especially in the 6 to 12 years group which had a high rate of success with 68% experiencing remission of symptoms after surgery.PMID:38400707 | DOI:10.1177/01455613241232879 (Source: Ear, Nose and Throat Journal)

Pathogenic Potential of < em > Turicella otitidis < /em > and < em > Staphylococcus auricularis < /em > : A Case Report
Conclusions: Our findings suggest the potential pathogenicity of T. otitidis and S. auricularis, especially among patients with prior ear surgery and tympanic membrane perforation. Violation of the epithelial barrier from surgery or trauma may contribute to their pathogenicity. Future study is warranted to elucidate pathogenicity of normal aural flora and its mechanisms.PMID:38389189 | DOI:10.1177/01455613241230245 (Source: Ear, Nose and Throat Journal)
