Effect of stapes demineralisation on the development of cochlear otosclerosis
CONCLUSIONS: Bone remodelling is most significant at the closest location to typical otosclerotic lesions with hydroxyapatite porosity and scale-like bone formation according to scanning electron microscopy. There is a relationship between the disturbance of calcium metabolism and the development of clinical symptoms of cochlear otosclerosis.PMID:38420840 | DOI:10.14639/0392-100X-N2389 (Source: Acta Otorhinolaryngologica Italica)

Anosmia or Ageusia Following COVID-19 Vaccination: A Systematic Review
Conclusion: Anosmia and ageusia are important symptoms of COVID-19 vaccination. These symptoms will resolve without any treatment in most cases, although some interventions may be needed in some patients.PMID:38411125 | DOI:10.1177/01455613241233098 (Source: Ear, Nose and Throat Journal)

Audiovestibular adverse events following COVID-19 vaccinations
CONCLUSIONS: This study is the first to demonstrate an increase in general practice presentations of vertigo following mRNA vaccines (RI = 1.40, P <.001), and tinnitus following both the Vaxzevria® adenovirus vector and mRNA vaccines (RI = 2.25, P <.001 and 1.53, P <.001 respectively). There was no increase in hearing loss following any COVID-19 vaccinations. Our study, however, was unable to account for the potential of concurrent COVID-19 infections, which literature has indicated to be associated with audiovestibular events. Healthcare providers and vaccinees should be alert to potential audiovestibular compla...

Stereotactic radiosurgery for Koos grade IV vestibular schwannoma: a systematic review and meta-analysis
ConclusionsOur systematic review and meta-analysis demonstrated a high overall tumor control rate, excellent facial nerve preservation, and low incidence of new-onset or worsened tinnitus and vertigo. However, several drawbacks associated with SRS should be noted, such as the presence of post-SRS hydrocephalus risk, mediocre long-term hearing preservation, and the lack of immediate tumor decompression. Nevertheless, the use of SRS may be beneficial in appropriately selected cases of Koos-IV VS. Moreover, further prospective studies directly comparing SRS with surgery are necessary to determine the optimal treatment for lar...
