How do we know if a cochlear implant recipient is hearing well if they cannot tell us? 🤔 Check out our latest paper (Aldag and Nogueira 2024) recently published in Scientific Reports. The paper describes how electroencephalography can be used as a clinical tool to assess patient performance when they are unable to provide feedback.   https://lnkd.in/ebiH-GJt

#ARVO2024 Update 4: Myopia control with spectacle lenses with positive power and negative power lenslets: a 1-year randomized clinical trial. Jun Jiang of Wenzhou Medical University Eye Hospital, Wenzhou, China and co-authors. In this research awarded as an ARVO Hot Topic, a 1-yr clinical trial investigated the efficacy of a novel myopia control spectacle lens design called 'Lenslet-ARray-Integrated' or 'LARI' with positive and negative power lenslets for 240 children aged 6-12yrs. The results showed that both positive and negative powered lenslet designs were similarly effective in slowing refractive and axial length changes versus a single vision lens (44% and 50% axial growth reduction, respectively). Negative powered lenslets were found to have a greater myopia control effect for younger children aged 6-8yrs. More detail about the lens design could help to explore this potential mechanism of conflicting optical signals.

Dear Colleagues, We are pleased to share a recent publication in the American Journal of Case Reports by authors from Harbin Medical University, Harbin, Heilongjiang, China, discussing the management of Wünderlich syndrome (WS). This study presents three cases where robot-assisted laparoscopic nephrectomy via a retroperitoneal approach was used for prompt intervention after conservative treatment failed. The cases emphasize the significance of clinical history and imaging findings in diagnosing WS. Furthermore, they demonstrate the successful use of robotic assistance in achieving rapid management. This report underscores the importance of a skilled surgical team and thorough preoperative preparation. For more details, please visit the American Journal of Case Reports webpage. #MedicalResearch #WünderlichSyndrome #SurgicalAdvancements | https://lnkd.in/dFx6eGh2

Announcing a Groundbreaking Clinical Trial! 🚀 Exciting times in dental medicine! The world’s first clinical trial of a drug designed to regenerate human teeth is set to begin in a few months at Kyoto University Hospital in Japan. Building on promising results from animal studies, this innovative treatment could be commercially available by 2030. 🧪 The trial, running from September through August 2025, will involve 30 male participants aged 30-64 who are missing at least one molar. Lead researcher Katsu Takahashi from Kitano Hospital, Osaka, shares: “We want to do something to help those who are suffering from tooth loss or absence.” If successful, this could revolutionize dental care, providing a permanent cure for tooth loss. Stay tuned for more updates on this groundbreaking journey! #DentalInnovation #Healthcare #ClinicalTrials #RegenerativeMedicine
