The 5-Steps to Relieve Tinnitus
My patient T.K. was a wreck. He looked like he hadn’t slept in a week. I asked him what was going on.
“It’s nothing you can fix, doc,” he said. “I’ve been to three specialists, and they all told me the same thing…
“I’ve got tinnitus, and I just have to live with it.”
Luckily, I was able to help him.
Tinnitus is an aggravating, nerve-racking, and unseen condition.
The constant ringing in your ears robs you of sleep, makes you miserable as it drowns out your hearing, and, over time, makes you more prone to illness. Tinnitus also shatters your focus and concentration.
Sadly, up to 25% of the U.S. populatio...

Schwannomas of Brain and Spinal Cord
Adv Exp Med Biol. 2023;1405:331-362. doi: 10.1007/978-3-031-23705-8_12.ABSTRACTSchwannomas are benign tumors originating from the Schwann cells of cranial or spinal nerves. The most common cranial schwannomas originate from the eight cranial nervevestibular schwannomas (VS). VS account for 6-8% of all intracranial tumors, 25-33% of the tumors localized in the posterior cranial fossa, and 80-94% of the tumors in the cerebellopontine angle (CPA). Schwannomas of other cranial nerves/trigeminal, facial, and schwannomas of the lower cranial nerves/are much less frequent. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), intracr...

Association Between Chronic Tinnitus and Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor Antisense RNA Polymorphisms Linked to the Val66Met Polymorphism in BDNF
In conclusion, four of the polymorphisms in BDNF-AS gene (rs955946, rs1488830, rs1519480, and rs10767658) are potential gene loci that may play a role in the auditory pathway and affect auditory performance.PMID:37230202 | DOI:10.1016/j.gene.2023.147507

Vestibular Schwannoma: The Current Knowledge
Vestibular schwannoma (VS) is a rare tumor. The incidence of VS in the United States is somewhere between 1.2 and 2.6 cases per 100,000 per year, with a median age at diagnosis of 55 years. Eighty-nine percent of all nerve sheath tumors are schwannomas, and 60% of benign schwannomas are VSs. The incidence of VS diagnosis is increasing as brain MRI scans are done for various reasons, with VS often being found incidentally. When they are symptomatic, they often present with asymmetric or sudden hearing loss, often with tinnitus, due to pressure on the adjacent cochlear nerve in the internal auditory canal.

Comprehensive conservative treatment for multiple metastases of skull osteosarcoma: A case report
ConclusionWe found that multiple conservative treatments, which include Denosumab, Anlotinib and DIA chemotherapy, can improve patients' life quality, and help avoid further osteolytic destruction for patients with skull osteosarcoma and multiple metastases. Its specific mechanism and scope of the application still need to be further studied.

Tuning in to Your Most-Ignored Sense Can Make You Happier
Somewhere along the long, winding road of evolution, a bunch of genes got together in a conference room and decided it would probably be most optimal for human survival if we were forced to take in every sound all around us at all times. Thus, the ear was born. Unlike their neighbors the eyes, the ears came with no on/off option. This is a great safety feature if you’re living in a cave surrounded by predators, but it’s since been hijacked by a world in which you’re more likely to find yourself trying to sleep through a neighbor’s car alarm blaring at 1 A.M.

Functional Network Connectivity Reveals the Brain Functional Alterations in Breast Cancer Survivors
J Clin Med. 2022 Jan 26;11(3):617. doi: 10.3390/jcm11030617.ABSTRACTDifferent neurological and psychiatric disorders such as vertebrobasilar insufficiency, chronic pain syndrome, anxiety, and depression are observed in more than 90% of patients after treatment for breast cancer and may cause alterations in the functional connectivity of the default mode network. The purpose of the present study is to assess changes in the functional connectivity of the default mode network in patients after breast cancer treatment using resting state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI). Rs-fMRI was performed using a 3.0T MR-sca...

Potential Molecular Biomarkers of Vestibular Schwannoma Growth: Progress and Prospects
Vestibular schwannomas (VSs, also known as acoustic neuromas) are relatively rare benign brain tumors stem from the Schwann cells of the eighth cranial nerve. Tumor growth is the paramount factor for neurosurgeons to decide whether to choose aggressive treatment approach or careful follow-up with regular magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), as surgery and radiation can introduce significant trauma and affect neurological function, while tumor enlargement during long-term follow-up will compress the adjacent nerves and tissues, causing progressive hearing loss, tinnitus and vertigo. Recently, with the deepening research of VS ...
