. Monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) directed against the calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) or its receptor represented first targeted and specialized approach to migraine prophylaxis. Nevertheless, they have been rarely considered in treatment of vestibular (VM). Our aim was evaluate effectiveness anti-CGRP mAbs VM patients who did not respond conventional treatments.
Aim: To evaluate OTOPLAN software in the surgical planning of far-advanced otosclerosis (FAO) candidates to cochlear implant (CI) were considered. We aimed preliminarily investigate if this could influence electrode length choice, or predict difficulties. Methods: reviewed outcome five consecutive FAO patients that underwent unilateral CI. was used preoperative computed tomography imaging. A comparison made with historical data (eight patients). Results: The mean duct estimated by 32.4 mm....
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic represented a stressful event.The incidence of newly diagnosed Ménière's (MD) patients before and during COVID-19 at our Institution was calculated.The period 2018-2020 considered. Incidence calculated as number annual first MD diagnoses divided by the audiological evaluations.One hundred eighty-three were Annual institution 1.3% in 2018, 1.2% 2019, 3.2% 2020, resulting significant increase (2018 vs. p=.00001; p=.00001). 2020 presented higher...
Introduction: Cochlear implants (CI) have been developed to enable satisfying verbal communication, while music perception has remained in the background both research and technological development, thus making CI users dissatisfied by experience of listening music. Indications for clinicians test train abilities are at a preliminary stage compared existing well-established hearing speech rehabilitation programs. The main aim present study was utility application two different patient...
Abstract Background Combining primary surgery with postoperative radiotherapy (RT) significantly reduces locoregional recurrence rates in selected patients laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). A prognostic model was used to see if associating SCC tissue markers (mammary serine protease inhibitor [MASPIN], CD105, angiogenin [ANG], and nm23‐H1) conventional criteria could better discriminate higher‐risk warranting RT. Methods The study involved 76 consecutively operated not recommended for...
Objective: Factor V Leiden (FVL) is by far the most prevalent inherited thrombophilic abnormality in Western countries, and this genetic condition has been associated with sudden sensorineural hearing loss (SSHL). Audiologists should be aware that SSHL may precursor of life-threatening thromboembolic events, especially Caucasians who are more likely to FVL carriers. Design: Case report. Study sample: A 41-year-old male patient. Results: Although not first report a carrier, it describe...

Background Laryngeal verrucous squamous cell carcinoma (VSCC) is a highly differentiated (SCC), the diagnosis of which can meet with many pitfalls: benign hyperplastic lesions and conventional SCC are most important differential diagnoses. The microRNA miR-19a overexpressed in solid tumours regulates suppressor cytokine signalling-1 (SOCS-1) expression. Aims main endpoints were to assess SOCS-1 expression glottic VSCC, former's potential role differentiating between lesions. Methods MiR-19a...
Audio-vestibular symptoms can arise from vertebrobasilar dolichoectasia (VBD) and basilar (BD). Given the dearth of available information, herein we reported our experience with different audio-vestibular disorders (AVDs) observed in a case series VBD patients. Furthermore, literature review analyzed possible relationships between epidemiological, clinical, neuroradiological findings audiological prognosis. The electronic archive tertiary referral center was screened. All identified patients...
