The effect of cochlear implantation in older adults: an umbrella review of systematic reviews and meta-analyses

INTRODUCTION: Age-related hearing loss is increasingly prevalent and impacts psychosocial wellbeing, cognitive health, and quality of life in older adults. While cochlear implants (CIs) are effective for severe-to-profound loss, their use in the elderly was historically cautious....

Predictive Value of Imaging Indicators for Disease Progression in Acute Stanford Type B Aortic Intramural Hematoma Without Ulcer-like Lesions

PURPOSE: To investigate the clinical outcomes of acute Stanford type B intramural hematoma (TBIMH) without ulcer-like lesions following medical management and to identify predictors of disease progression. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A retrospective analysis was performed on patients...

Identification and validation of CCL28 and CCL5 as chemokine biomarkers and pro-inflammatory mediators in acute pancreatitis: an integrated bioinformatics and experimental study

Acute pancreatitis (AP) is a common inflammatory disease of the exocrine pancreas. Its course ranges from a mild, self-limited illness to severe disease with organ failure. Current clinical tools do not reliably identify patients at risk of progression early in the disease course...

Factors associated with early hematoma expansion in intracerebral hemorrhage and the value of non-contrast computed tomography imaging features combined with clinical data for early identification

PURPOSE: Early hematoma expansion (HE) after intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) critically affects patient outcomes. Identifying HE risk using emergency non-contrast computed tomography (NCCT) features and clinical data is important for early risk stratification and evaluation. This...
