The First Active Transcutaneous Bone Conduction Implant in Romania-Case Repor...CrimsonpublishersTTEH
Since the introduction of bone conduction hearing implants in 1977, quality of life of the implantees have improved substantially. The first available option were bone-anchored hearing devices, which improved sound quality, but had the major disadvantage of post-operative skin and wound infections. Therefore, new technologies seeking intact skin solution have emerged lately. The BONEBRIDGE system (MED-EL, Medical Electronics, Innsbruck, Austria) incorporates the first active bone conduction device, which especially aims to resolve abutment issues and still offers excellent audiological benefit. The successful implantation of this system in the first Romanian patient suffering from congenital lip and hard palate cleft with recurrent suppurative otitis media is presented. The authors report their experience with implantation, in terms of indications, selection assessment as well as functional results with a critical review of advantages and disadvantages in comparison with classical methods.

Purpose: We report a rare case of a 2 - year-old child with ectopia lentis and potential Marfan syndrome (MFS) and discuss her management.
Methods: A 2 - year - old female with no signifi cant past medical history was brought in by her mother after complaints that the child has recently been holding everything close to her eyes while simultaneously shifting her head down. Her mother reported no history of pain or trauma. The child’s family history was negative for ectopia lentis or MFS.
Dental Patterns in Peruvians: A Panoramic Radiography StudyIván E Pérez
The dental pattern is defined as the combination of distinct codes assigned to describe specific tooth conditions including virgin, missing, and restored teeth that comprise the complete dentition or from discrete groups of teeth. This pattern can be then compared to the dentition of individual/s in an attempt to determine positive identification. The aims of the present investigation were to study and determine the diversity of dental patterns in Peruvian citizens based on a sample of panoramic radiographs. Digital panoramic radiographs of 900 adult Peruvian patients (450 female and 450 male) were evaluated to determine the dental patterns. The most frequent dental patterns found in the complete dentition, maxillae, upper-anterior and lower-anterior sextants were all-virgin-teeth (0.3%), all-extracted teeth (1.9%), all-virgin teeth (1%) and all-virgin-teeth (34.2% and 72.3%) respectively. The diversity was calculated by the use of the Simpson´s diversity index, the resulting values for the full-dentition, maxilla and mandible were over the 99.8% value and were similar to those previously reported in the scientific literature. This study demonstrates the positive benefit of dental patterns in the process of identification. Additionally a combination of codes is proposed that could prove useful in cases where a better radiographic description is required.

Bony cochlear or vestibular malformations occur in about 20% of patients with congenital sensorineural hearing loss. Intuitively, one would expect such malformations to influence surgical and audiologic outcomes in patients undergoing cochlear implantation. However, the precise impact of these malformations on surgical and audiologic outcomes has not yet been elucidated.
Myopic shift and preoperative axial length after congenital cataract surgery in Peruvian patients - The Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology Meeting (ARVO) 2018 Honolulu, Hawaii - Poster presentation
Goldenhar syndrome, a term that is often used synonymously with “Oculo-Auriculo-Vertebral (OAV) spectrum”, is a rare disorder that is apparent at birth (congenital). The disorder is characterized by a wide spectrum of symptoms and physical features that may vary greatly in range and severity from case to case. However, such abnormalities tend to involve the cheekbones, jaws, mouth, ears, eyes and/or bones of the spinal column (vertebrae). Although, in most cases, such malformations affect one side of the body (unilateral), approximately 10–33 per cent of affected individuals have such malformations on both sides of the body (bilateral), with one side typically more affected than the other (asymmetry). In the majority of such cases, the right side is more severely affected than the left.

There is evidence that this efferent control may play a role in extracting signals from noise and the detection of target sounds. Here we evaluated the role of attention on the auditory efferent control of the brainstem (using auditory brainstem responses; ABRs) and the cochlear gain (using otoacoustic emissions; OAEs) during passive listening and a task of variable difficulty. We hypothesized that both the ABRs and OAEs would be modulated by attention and that the degree of suppression of OAEs (relative to the passive condition) would increase with task difficulty.

Introduction
Bony cochlear or vestibular malformations occur in about 20% of patients with congenital
sensorineural hearing loss. Intuitively, one would expect such malformations to influence
surgical and audiologic outcomes in patients undergoing cochlear implantation. However,
the precise impact of these malformations on surgical and audiologic outcomes has not
yet been elucidated.
Results - Adults
Table 3: Outcomes in Adults by Type of Congenital Malformation
Patients and Methods
A retrospective review of the Cochlear Implant Clinic database at the University of
Melbourne identified 57 children and 31 adults with cochlear and/or vestibular
malformations who had undergone cochlear implantation. The patients’ CT and MRI scans
were classified into ordinal categories of cochlear malformation according to the scheme
of Sennaroglu1: common cavity (CC), incomplete partition -I (IP-I); IP-II with or without
enlarged vestibular aqueduct (EVA); IP-III, or EVA alone.
Analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used to compare speech perception (open-set word,
phoneme and sentence scores), language development (Peabody Picture Vocabulary
Test (PPVT) standard scores and delay), and surgical outcomes (occurrence of a CSF
gusher and insertion depth) among the groups of malformations. Pearson’s correlation
coefficients were calculated between the duration of profound hearing loss and speech
perception and language outcomes. T-tests were used to compare speech perception and
language outcomes between groups of patients with and without gushers and incomplete
electrode insertions. SPSS5 was used to perform all statistical analyses.
Duration of profound hearing loss was significantly correlated with OSW Word (r=-0.36,
p=0.04) and BKB Sent (r=-0.41, p=0.02), but not with OSW Phon (r= -0.27, p=0.14), .

Table 1: Outcomes in Children by Type of Congenital Malformation
Discussion
Pre-operative imaging is a routine and essential part of planning cochlear implantation.
However, based on this retrospective study of children and adults , the extent of preoperative cochlear/vestibular malformation alone cannot predict post-operative cochlear
implant performance (Tables 1 and 3).
“Other” malformations in Table 1 included two IP-I cochlea, one hypoplasia and one
unclassified malformation.
Duration of profound hearing loss was significantly correlated with OSW Phon (r= -0.43,
p=0.004), OSW Word (r=-0.32, p=0.03), BKB Sent (r=-0.35, p=0.02), and PPVT delay
(r=0.49, p=0.001) but not with PPVT SS (r=-0.25, p=0.1).
Table 2: Outcomes in Children with Gushers and Incomplete
Insertions
On the other hand, the presence of gusher, incomplete insertion and a longer duration of
pre-implantation hearing loss were associated with worse speech perception and
language outcomes in children and adults (Tables 3 and 4). Of the 11 gushers
encountered in children, 4 were accompanied by an incomplete insertion. Of the 5
gushers encountered in adults, all had a complete insertion. The only incomplete insertion
in an adult did not have a gusher. This suggests that only part of the speech and language
outcome may be related to incomplete insertion. Only one adult had incomplete electrode
insertion, precluding meaningful statistical comparison (Table 4)
The post-operative speech and language scores in the present study are similar those
reported in other pediatric groups with cochlear abnormalities but lower than those with
normal cochlea and adult groups.2-4
One of the limitations of this study is the significant number of patients who did not have
complete post-operative speech perception and language testing. For example, 2 of the
patients with common cavities, 5 of those with IP-II + EVA and 2 of those with EVA alone
performed too poorly to test OSW. This may contribute to the failure of this study to show
performance differences between groups of different malformations. On the other hand,
the patients with these malformations who were tested performed well, underscoring the
wide range of outcomes that we observed within all groups of malformations
