The P300 Auditory Evoked Potential in Cochlear Implant Users: A Scoping Review
Conclusion This review has contributed with evidence that shows the importance of applying a controlled P300 protocol to diagnose and monitor CI users. Regardless of the stimuli used to elicit P300, we noticed a pattern in the increase in latency and decrease in amplitude in CI users. The user's experience with the CI speech processor over time and the speech test results seem to be related to the P300 latency and amplitude measurements. [...] Thieme Revinter Publicações Ltda.

Usage of Surgical Antibiotic Prophylaxis in Routine Otolaryngologic Surgeries in Turkey
Conclusion Otolaryngological surgeries are often classified as clean or clean-contaminated surgeries. In most studies in the literature, it is reported that SAP use is unnecessary in routine otolaryngological surgery. Providing inservice training, regularly updating the prophylaxis guidelines and sharing these guidelines with surgeons may prevent inappropriate SAP use. [...] Thieme Revinter Publicações Ltda.

Pedicled Flaps versus Free Flaps for Oral Cavity Cancer Reconstruction: A Comparison of Complications, Hospital Costs, and Functional Outcomes
Conclusions With comparable complications and functional outcomes, while decreasing in costs, pedicled flaps are a useful alternative to free flaps in oral cavity cancer reconstruction. However, in an extensive defect (> 70 cm2), free flaps are the reconstruction of choice for the preservation of swallowing function. [...] Thieme Revinter Publicações Ltda.
