Validation of the LittlEARS® Auditory Questionnaire in children with normal hearing

Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusions: The LittlEARS® Auditory Questionnaire is a valid, language-independent tool for assessing the early auditory behaviour of infants and toddlers with normal hearing. The results of this study suggest that the LittlEARS® Auditory Questionnaire could also be very useful for documenting children's progress with their current amplification, providing evidence of the need for implantation, or highlighting the need for follow-up in other developmental areas.

Conclusion: We found the prevalence of habitual snoring to be 4.0% in adolescents from the province of Manisa, Turkey which is low compared to previous studies. Habitual snoring is an important problem in adolescents and habitual snorers had significantly more nighttime symptoms of sleep-disordered breathing compared to non-snorers.

Conclusions: As a result of these findings, it was thought that cochlear implantation had a positive effect on life quality and it was suggested that the adolescents and their families should get assistance from experts about the characteristics and principles of approaching the child in this period. The adolescent should be directed towards social activities and courses, their positive sides should be supported and further studies should be carried out with different case groups on this matter. In addition to, examining the interactions of hearing loss effects can help professionals determine the individuals who are at a ...

Adenoidectomy for otitis media with effusion in 2–3-year-old childrenEmail this article to a colleague.

Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusions: Adenoidectomy with or without tube insertion provided no advantage to young children with chronic OME in regard to time with effusion compared to tube insertion alone. Fewer tympanostomy tubes were placed in children undergoing A-M as their initial procedure, but this should be balanced by the performance of the more invasive surgical procedure and their increased time with effusion.

Conclusion: Our results show that deaf children who receive cochlear implants at an early age are capable of reaching the canonical babbling milestone in a shorter time than children with normal hearing typically do and that their consonant phoneme acquisition follows a similar sequence to normal hearing peers’. These results are consistent with the literature indicating that early identification and intervention are important for allowing children with cochlear implants the opportunity to catch up to hearing peers.

Newborn hearing screening on infants at riskEmail this article to a colleague.

Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusion: Our selected hearing screening on infants at risk allowed 60 deaf children access to early management. However, too many children were lost to follow up; which revealed that better information regarding risk of hearing loss must be provided to parents and paramedics and universal newborn screening needs to be performed. The most important result of this study is that in a population of hearing impaired children, with an impairment incidence close to what is commonly reported, the association of several risk factors proves to be a significant additional risk factor for hearing impairment.

Conclusion/Discussion: The highest level of evidence found for the management of otitis media with effusion in children with primary ciliary dyskinesia was level IV. Currently, the evidence is inconclusive and conflicting. Whilst our results are promising, clearly higher quality research on a larger number of patients is required to definitively evaluate the management options for otitis media with effusion in these children.

Conclusion: Flexible bronchoscopy provided rapid and definitive diagnosis for our patients with persistent wheezing without any major complications.

Flexible bronchoscopy is a safe procedure and should be considered in the evaluation of children with persistent wheezing.

Conclusions: Congenital floor of mouth cysts arising from imperforate salivary ducts are rare, but they may mimic the appearance of a ranula. Unlike ranulas, these cysts may be safely and effectively cured by simple sialodochostomy. To date, 26 other cases have been described in the literature, and nearly all have been successfully treated with simple incision or marsupialization without recurrence. Care should be taken to exclude ranula as a diagnosis, as incomplete excision may likely result in recurrence.

Reconstruction of Mandibular Continuity Defects Using Recombinant Human Bone Morphogenetic Protein 2: A Note of Caution in an Atmosphere of ExuberanceEmail this article to a colleague.
Save this article to My Clippings.
Discuss or comment on this article.
Loss of mandibular continuity most commonly occurs because of traumatic, infectious, or neoplastic processes and can be psychologically and physiologically debilitating. The goals of mandibular reconstruction are the restoration of appearance, mastication, deglutition, speech, and oral competence. Although the timing and prioritization of these goals within the context of ablative surgery have been controversial, it is clear that successful reconstruction of bony defects is dependent on the survival of the transplanted tissue, which in turn is dependent on an adequate blood supply or soft tissue envelope. Numerous reconstr...

Discuss or comment on this article.
Mandibular continuity defects are frequently caused by tumor removal or significant trauma. The reconstruction of these defects can be challenging. For defects with extensive hard and soft tissue loss, microvascular free-tissue transfer often provides an excellent reconstructive option. However, significant site morbidity, as well as nonideal bone stock for implant placement, can occur. For mandibular continuity defects not associated with significant soft tissue loss, nonvascularized autogenous bone has been shown to provide excellent results. The advantages compared with microvascular free-tissue transfer include a more ...

A 41-year-old black man presented to the Montefiore Medical Center in 1990 with a chief complaint of a “bump on my gums.” The patient reported the lesion to be of several months in duration and denied any paresthesia or pain. His medical history was significant for tuberculosis, for which he stated that he was treated with appropriate antibiotic therapy. Upon examination, an indurated expansion was noted lingual to the mandibular central incisors with intact overlying mucosa, and a periapical radiolucency was present. The radiolucency was enucleated via a standard intraoral approach, and the tissue submitted for histop...

Discuss or comment on this article.
Thyroglossal duct cysts, which are congenital neck masses in children, result from the embryologic remnants of the descending thyroglossal duct. After being enlarged by inflammation, infection, and mucous retention, they can be found anywhere in the midline of the neck between the foramen cecum and thyroid gland and are usually located in the infrahyoid region (85%) or in close proximity to the hyoid bone. In a previous text the location of thyroglossal duct cysts was classified as suprahyoid (20%), at the level of the hyoid bone (15%), and infrahyoid (65%). Occasionally, cysts may appear to be on one side of the midline o...

I read with interest the article by Kaban et al titled “Clinical application of curvilinear distraction in the treatment of mandibular deformities.” I wish to correct several inaccuracies and discrepancies in their report. I began development of a curvilinear mandibular distractor in 1995. The original premise for curved distraction was based on the work by Moss et al and Rickets on the logarithmic growth of the mandible. On the basis of this work, we found that 4 differently curved distractors were all that is needed to represent the different parts of the spiral. The design of appropriate devices and preliminary stud...
