Cisplatin is the most common antineoplastic drug used for therapy of solid tumours. To date, researchers have focused on dosage to be administered each specific tumour, mainly considering local adverse effects. The aim this study was correlate severity effects with: i) cisplatin; ii) site tumour; iii) association with other drugs; and iv) symptoms. We analysed data from 123 patients 11 different tumour classes undergoing 2007 2008 at St. Anna Hospital (Ferrara, Italy), using Spearman...
<h3>BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE:</h3> Cranial nerve abnormalities might be observed in hemifacial microsomia and microtia (oculo-auriculo-vertebral spectrum), but the rate, features, relationship with functional impairment or phenotype severity have not yet been defined. This study aimed at investigating absence/asymmetry, abnormal origin, morphology course of cranial nerves, presence/asymmetry foramen ovale inferior alveolar canal a cohort oculo-auriculo-vertebral spectrum patients....
Hereditary hearing loss (HHL) is a common disorder characterized by huge genetic heterogeneity. The definition of correct molecular diagnosis essential for proper counseling, recurrence risk estimation, and therapeutic options. From 20 to 40% patients carry mutations in GJB2 gene, thus, more than half cases it necessary look causative variants the other genes so far identified (~100). In this light, use next-generation sequencing technologies has proved be best solution mutational screening,...
Cisplatin (Cpt) is known to induce a high level of oxidative stress, resulting in an increase reactive oxygen species damaging the inner ear and causing hearing loss at frequencies. Studies on animal models show that antioxidants may lower Cpt-induced ototoxicity. The aim this study evaluate ototoxic effects two different protocols Cpt administration Sprague-Dawley rat model, test same model synergic protective solution coenzyme Q10 terclatrate Acuval 400®, multivitamin supplement containing...
(1) Background: Schwannomas of the vestibulocochlear nerve are benign, slow-growing tumors, arising from Schwann cells. When they originate neural elements within vestibule or cochlea, defined as intralabyrinthine schwannomas (ILSs). Cochlear implant (CI) has been reported a feasible solution for hearing restoration in these patients. (2) Methods: Two patients with single-sided deafness (SSD) due to sudden sensorineural loss and ipsilateral tinnitus were cases. MRI detected an ILS. CI was...
In our clinical setting, we have identified a novel pattern of Trans-Impedance Matrix (TIM) measurement that call 'scatter', measure characterised by loss definition in the heat and line maps. Objective: aim this study was to describe basic characteristics anomaly pattern. The secondary purpose is evaluate correlations between "scatter" normal TIM considering different parameters. Methods: experimental sample, therefore, consisted 565 patients (81.1% people with checked at follow-up; M: 279,...
Cochlear implant (CI) is a well-established treatment for adults with sensorineural hearing loss and without benefit from aids. The Italian guidelines date back 15 years; given the expansion of indications CI, including single side deafness asymmetrical loss, it became necessary to establish updated guidelines. Thirteen experts 2 patient representatives selected key questions drew up recommendations. document was developed following GRADE methodology. methodological team Mario Negri...

Questo studio è volto alla valutazione degli outcomes audiometrici e logopedici dei pazienti anziani portatori di impianto cocleare durante il primo anno utilizzo del dispositivo. Sono stati valutati 42 impiantati tra marzo 2010 settembre 2014 presso lUO ORL dellAzienda Ospedaliera Universitaria Padova. inclusi nello affetti da sordità bilaterale postlinguale grado severo-profondo unilateralmente. I soggetti sono divisi in tre gruppi base allepoca della chirurgia: 14 con fra i 35 49 anni,...
Background: Baraitser-Winter Syndrome (BRWS) is a rare autosomal dominant condition associated with hearing loss (HL). In the literature, two types of this are reported, type 1 (BRWS1) and 2 (BRWS2) produced by specific pathogenetic variants different genes, ACTB for BRWS1 ACTG1 BRWS2. addition to syndromic BRWS2, some pathogenic in also another pathologic entity, "Autosomal non-syndromic 20/26". these syndromes, typical craniofacial features, sensory impairment (vision hearing) intellectual...
The concept of auditory restoration after cochlear implant (CI) in prelingual deafness is well described by a synaptic network model, whose development depends on sensory experience. aim this work was to study the associative networks activated CI population prelingually deaf patients. In particular, impact age at time first fitting and duration use evaluated. Twenty patients were tested divided into three groups: early implanted lengthy (group A); late B); short C). Each patient group...
In the era of cochlear implants (CIs) and newborn hearing screening programmes, oral language skills deaf children have improved significantly. The literature documents sizable gains in their speech perception receptive expressive spoken language. However, improvements area reading writing are less remarkable, continue today to be a major challenge for with CIs. article discusses role two cognitive factors that may contribute make difficult achieve CIs: poor executive functions verbal...
Early bilateral cochlear implants (CIs) may enhance attention to speech, and reduce cognitive load in noisy environments. However, it is sometimes difficult measure speech perception listening effort, especially very young children. Behavioral measures cannot always be obtained young/uncooperative children, whereas objective are either assess or do not reliably correlate with behavioral measures. Recent studies have thus explored pupillometry as a possible measure. Here, introduced music...
Objective To investigate which factors influence the adherence to hearing aid (HA) use in elderly patients with moderate-to-severe loss. Methods This observational, prospective, single-centre study enrolled They were evaluated before and 1 year after having either one or two HAs fitted. Results A total of 86 these 69.8% (60 86; USER group) continued their HA at fitting; six had not (NON-USERS). The group was younger than NON-USER group, but difference significant. a significantly better...
