Jean Riolan the Younger (1580 – 1657) and the Trepanation of the Mastoid Process: More Than a Suggestion?
Conclusion
Riolan the Younger must be considered as the true initiator of this surgery and thus must take its proper place in any history of surgical opening of the mastoid. (Source: Otology and Neurotology)

Painful Diabetic Neuropathy as a Cause for Refractory Ear Pain in Type 2 Diabetic Patients
Objective
To assess painful diabetic neuropathy (PDN) as a cause for refractory ear pain in type 2 diabetics.
Design
An observational prospective case series study.
Setting
Otolaryngology departments of tertiary referral hospitals from November 2019 to January 2021.
Patients
Sixty-eight patients with type 2 diabetes with refractory ear pain of more than 1-month duration not responding to the routine analgesics.
Intervention
Diagnostic intervention.
Main Outcome Measure
The primary outcome measure was the prevalence of painful diabetic neuropathy among different causes of ear pain in t...

Long-Term Outcomes of Round Window Reinforcement for Superior Semicircular Canal Dehiscence Syndrome
Conclusions
Since long-term outcomes do not compare with those reported for plugging and repair, RWR is not suggested as a first line intervention for SSCDS. Considering the stable rates of improvement on average 2.9 years postoperatively and the absence of major complications, RWR may be an alternative to plugging or repair in fragile patients who do not accept the risk of complications with more invasive surgery, and who accept that results may deteriorate over time.

A 2 and 5-Year Longitudinal Analysis of 671 Consecutive Patients Diagnosed with Unilateral Vestibular Schwannoma
Conclusion
The Cambridge philosophy of treating the newly diagnosed vestibular schwannoma aims at preserving functional status where possible. In patients with small tumors it is recommended that they are placed on to a WWR pathway, of which 67.3% will not exhibit any growth by 5 years. If small tumors grow more than 2 mm by serial scanning, radiotherapy offers a high rate of tumor control. In patients with larger tumors more than 20 mm we would advocate microsurgical excision by the translabyrinthine route which offers excellent functional outcomes and gross tumor control.

Statistical Shape Model of the Temporal Bone Using Segmentation Propagation
Conclusions
SSMs of temporal bone anatomy can inform surgeons on clinically relevant inter-patient variability. Anatomical variation elucidated by these models can provide novel insight into function and pathophysiology. These models also allow further investigation of anatomical variation based on age, BMI, sex, and geographical location. (Source: Otology and Neurotology)

Topographic Anatomy of the Medial Labyrinthine Wall: Implications for the Transcanal Endoscopic Approach to the Internal Auditory Canal
Conclusion
The proposed IVCC is a novel landmark with a consistent relationship to the IAC fundus and the facial nerve. It may be utilized in conjunction with the falciform crest to identify the facial nerve during minimally invasive transcanal surgeries. (Source: Otology and Neurotology)

Effect of AR42 in Primary Vestibular Schwannoma Cells and a Xenograft Model of Vestibular Schwannoma
Conclusions
Response of primary VS cells to AR42 may be influenced by pHDAC2 expression in tumor. Although AR42 may delay HL in our xenograft model, it did not halt tumor growth or vestibular dysfunction. Further investigations are warranted to evaluate the AR42 effectiveness in NF2-associated VS. (Source: Otology and Neurotology)

Spironolactone Ameliorates Cochlear Implant Induced Endolymphatic Hydrops
Conclusions
EH can be suppressed by antagonism of mineralocorticoid receptors in the week after cochlear implantation. Reduction in EH did not lead to any change in hearing, and there was no indication of synaptopathy signalled by reduced CAP amplitude at high sound intensities. We found no electrophysiological evidence that EH early after implantation impacts negatively upon preservation of residual hearing. (Source: Otology and Neurotology)

Wait and Scan Management of Intra-canalicular Vestibular Schwannomas: Analysis of Growth and Hearing Outcome
Conclusions
Wait and scan management of ICVS is a viable option and only 18.8% of patients needed further treatment. Hearing tends to deteriorate over time. (Source: Otology and Neurotology)

Changes in Measures of Vestibular and Balance Function and Hippocampus Volume in Alzheimer’s Disease and Mild Cognitive Impairment
Conclusion
The data from this small sample support and extend previous evidence for vestibular impairments in this population. The small MRI sample set should be considered preliminary evidence, and suggests the need for further research, with a more robust sample and high-resolution MRIs performed for the purpose of hippocampal analysis.

Computed-Tomography Estimates of Interaural Mismatch in Insertion Depth and Scalar Location in Bilateral Cochlear-Implant Users
Conclusion
Average BI-CI interaural insertion-depth mismatch was small; however, large interaural insertion-depth mismatch—with the potential to degrade spatial hearing—occurred frequently enough to warrant attention. For new BICI users, improved surgical techniques to avoid interaural insertion-depth and scalar mismatch are recommended. For existing BI-CI users with interaural insertion-depth mismatch, interaural alignment of clinical frequency tables might reduce negative spatial-hearing consequences.
