COVID-19 associated hearing loss is still an ongoing matter of debate. No original studies exist on audiological effects SARS-CoV-2 infection in hospitalized patients. The main objective was to determine whether may affect auditory function clinically ill patients.COVID-19 patients with moderate-severe disease and without prior history abnormalities were enrolled from a tertiary referral center, matched controls. Participants performed audiometric evaluation, thresholds compared.120 ears 60...

To determine whether children with autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) have an increased number of wave I abnormal amplitudes in auditory brainstem responses (ABRs) than age‐ and sex‐matched typically developing children. This analytical case–control study compared patients ASDs between the ages 2 6 years who had a language delay not associated any other pathology. Amplitudes ABR waves V; absolute latencies (ALs) I, III, interpeak (IPLs) I–III, III–IV, I–V at 90 dB were ASD normally The...

Ménière's disease (MD) has an unclear cause. The microvascular dysregulation of the inner ear been increasingly pointed as a potential contributor. This study investigates prevalence cardiovascular risk factors (CVRFs) in MD patients compared to those with posterior circulation cerebral infarction (POCI). CVRFs like hypertension, diabetes, dyslipidemia, obesity, coronary heart disease, and smoking were assessed both POCI patients. Brain MRI identified etiology "small...

So far, no original studies explored non-randomized, standardized protocols for COVID-19 associated olfactory dysfunction. The main objective was to determine the efficacy of a new protocol post-COVID olfactopathy while assessing benefit adding adjuvant therapies training.Patients suffering from long-lasting post-COVID-19 dysfunction were evaluated. A non-randomized based on individual nasal endoscopy findings and patient's preferences applied. Patients assigned training alone or + therapy....

Forensic evaluation reports and judicial outcomes regarding older victims of suspected sexual offenses were retrospectively reviewed. During this period, a total 14 cases registered, corresponding to 0.3% nonfatal crimes against elderly 0.6% the reported. All female. The majority lived alone did not have limitations in communication, orientation, ambulation, or autonomy. offenders all male (17 81 years old); most known had history previous disruptive behaviors. occurred victims' homes,...

MD is considered a rare disease. An adequate model that explains MD's pathophysiology not well established. Recently, the vascular theory of disease has been revived.

<title>Abstract</title> <bold>Purpose</bold> No universally accepted model describes Ménière´s disease (MD) pathogenesis. Nevertheless, the vascular hypothesis for MD has recently been revisited. The objective was to compare cerebrovascular burden of patients with controls.<bold>Methods</bold> Patients were evaluated concerning magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) features small-vessel (SVD), cortical strokes and baseline comorbidities. Analyses performed comparing age-matched...

Ménière’s disease (MD) has an unclear cause. The microvascular dysregulation of the inner ear been increasingly pointed out as a potential contributor. This study investigates prevalence cardiovascular risk factors (CVRFs) in MD patients compared to those with posterior circulation cerebral infarction (POCI). CVRFs like hypertension, diabetes, dyslipidemia, obesity, coronary heart disease, and smoking were assessed both POCI patients. Brain MRI identified etiology “small vessel occlusion”...

Background: Ménière’s disease (MD) lacks a universally accepted pathogenesis model. Recent research has revisited the vascular hypothesis. This study aims to compare cerebrovascular burden in patients with MD and age-matched controls, investigating potential role of dysfunction MD. Methods: A total 145 (70 MD, 75 controls) underwent magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) assessment for small-vessel (SVD) markers (including Fazekas EPVS scores), cortical strokes, baseline comorbidities. Statistical...

There have been reports of patients with Ménière´s disease (MD) showing unexplained audiometric air-bone gaps at low frequencies. Little is known about the clinical significance this finding. The objective study was to describe phenomenon while relating it features, namely incidence attacks.

&lt;p class="abstract"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Background: &lt;/strong&gt;In Pediatric Otolaryngology surgery associating procedures is a common finding. Each surgical act elicits different degrees of pain, with implications on recovery. The aim this work was to evaluate the severity children's pain after outpatient surgery, considering combinations Otolaryngologic procedures.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="abstract"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Methods: &lt;/strong&gt;Data from children submitted in ambulatory Unit...

&lt;p class="abstract"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Background:&lt;/strong&gt; The use of inferior turbinoplasty (IT) in pediatric patients is controversial, especially the presence allergic rhinitis. objective this study was to assess long-term results radiofrequency versus non-allergic children.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="abstract"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Methods:&lt;/strong&gt; Children operated between 2017 and 2019 whose intervention included IT were included. Multiple scores collected 2021 through a telephone...

Introduction: To date, little is known about predisposing factors for persistent COVID-19-induced olfactory dysfunction (pCIOD). The objective was to determine whether cleft (OC) measurements associate with pCIOD risk. Material and Methods: Three subgroups were recruited: group A included patients pCIOD, B without following SARS-CoV-2 infection (ntCIOD), C consisted in controls past history of (noCOVID-19). Olfactory perception threshold (OPT) visual analog scale impairment (VAS-olf)...

Summary Paediatric obstructive sleep disordered breathing (OSDB) has a considerable impact on cardiovascular physiology, but the consequences children's basal metabolism and response to exercise are far from being known. The objective was propose model estimations for paediatric OSDB at rest during exercise. A retrospective case–control analysis of data children submitted otorhinolaryngology surgery performed. heart rate (HR) measured, while oxygen consumption (VO 2 ) energy expenditure (EE)...
