Objective: The aim was to investigate whether associations of hearing impairment (HI) with functional outcomes in older adults differ when using self-report versus pure-tone audiometry. Method: We examined 1,669 participants ≥70 years National Health and Examination Survey from 2005-2006 2009-2010 whose assessed by explored associated audiometric HI (low physical activity, poor functioning, hospitalization). Results: In adjusted models, we found significant both subjective objective (e.g.,...
The objective of the study is was investigate association between hearing impairment and anxiety.We conducted a cross-sectional analysis 1,732 community-based adults aged 76 to 85 years who participated in Health Aging Body Composition (ABC) study. Logistic regression models were adjusted for demographic cardiovascular risk factors. Hearing defined by speech-frequency pure tone average. Anxiety as reporting two symptoms at least "a little" or one symptom "quite bit" on three-item Hopkins...
Hearing loss is a common health problem in older adults that strongly associated with the development of depression. Previous cross-sectional studies have reported lower odds depression among individuals who use hearing aids. However, there been limited prospective investigating effect treatments on depressive symptoms.To investigate association between treatment aid or cochlear implant symptoms adults.A observational study was conducted 113 participants 50 years received aids (n = 63)...
To investigate the impact of hearing aid and cochlear implant use on quality life in adults.Prospective observational cohort study.One hundred thirteen adults aged ≥50 years with postlingual loss receiving routine clinical care at a tertiary academic medical center were evaluated Medical Outcome Study Short Form-36 before 6 12 months after intervention aids or implants. Change score was assessed using linear mixed effect models adjusted for age, gender, education, history hypertension,...
Age-related hearing loss negatively affects health outcomes, yet disparities in care, such as aid use, exist based on race/ethnicity and socioeconomic position. Recent national efforts highlight reduction of care a public imperative. This study a) describes community engagement approach to addressing disparities, b) reports preliminary outcomes novel intervention, c) discusses implementation processes potential for wide-scale testing use.
Background Initial postoperative core temperature is a physician and hospital performance measure. However, the extent to which changes during emergence from anesthesia transport operating room postanesthesia care unit (PACU) remains unknown. Similarly, accuracy of many noninvasive temperature-monitoring methods used in PACU has yet be quantified. This study, therefore, quantified change occurring evaluated precision eight thermometers PACU. Methods In 50 patients having laparoscopic...
To investigate the impact of hearing aid (HA) and cochlear implant (CI) use on loneliness in adults.Prospective observational cohort study.One hundred thirteen adults, aged ≥ 50 years, with postlingual loss receiving routine clinical care at a tertiary academic medical center, were evaluated University California Los Angeles Loneliness Scale before 6 12 months after intervention HAs or CIs. Change score was assessed using linear mixed effect models adjusted for age; gender; education;...
To better understand the potential impact of hearing impairment (HI) and aid use on emotional vitality mental health in older adults. We investigated cross-sectional association HI with 1,903 adults aged 76–85 years Health ABC study adjusted for demographic cardiovascular risk factors. Hearing was defined by speech frequency pure tone average (no < 25 dB, mild 25–40 moderate or greater > 40 dB). Emotional as having a high sense personal mastery, happiness, low depressive symptomatology,...
To determine the rate of long-term cochlear implant (CI) use in children.
The objective of this study was to report outcomes for 19 consecutive patients with SMARCB1 (INI-1)-deficient sinonasal carcinoma. Patients were treated from 2014 2021 and followed a median 22.3 months. overall survival (OS) disease-free (DFS) 31.8 9.9 months, respectively. nasal cavity or maxillary sinus tumors had 84% better disease-specific (DSS) (hazard ratio [HR], 0.136; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.028-0.66; p = .005) 71% DFS (HR, 0.29; CI, 0.097-0.84; .041) than other sites. who...

<div>AbstractPurpose:<p>Outcomes after primary surgery for advanced sinonasal squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) are poor. We tested whether induction chemotherapy (IC) can improve disease control or organ preservation.</p>Patients and Methods:<p>A phase II trial evaluated previously untreated patients with stage to IV, M0 SCC. Patients received IC docetaxel, cisplatin, fluorouracil, followed by chemoradiotherapy (CRT) responders adjuvant radiotherapy CRT nonresponders....
