Scalar position characteristics and translocation rates of different lateral wall electrodes within the cochlear basal turn: a cone beam computed tomography study

PURPOSE: This retrospective study systematically compared scalar position characteristics and translocation (STL) rates within the cochlear basal turn (CBT) across three different lateral wall (LW) electrodes. METHODS: The study included 148 morphologically normal cochleae implan...

Vancomycin optimised dosing regimens for critically ill patients receiving renal replacement therapy

Optimal dosing of vancomycin in critically ill patients receiving renal replacement therapy (RRT) is uncertain due to high pharmacokinetic variability. We aimed to develop individualised vancomycin dosing recommendations that optimise efficacy while minimising toxicity. Prospecti...

A Gap Analysis of Deep Brain Stimulation for Childhood‐Onset Movement Disorders

BACKGROUND: Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is an established and increasingly utilized therapy for childhood-onset movement disorders. However, pediatric DBS poses unique challenges that are not adequately addressed by adult-derived paradigms. OBJECTIVE: To identify key gaps in the...

Iron deficiency testing among people with incident heart failure in primary care
