Pedunculated lesions in the external auditory canal present a broad differential diagnosis. It is crucial to rule out malignant neoplasms and consider the possibility of xanthogranulomas, which are very rare in this location. Management is determined by associated complications, and otolaryngologists must consider this for appropriate treatment.

The current study aimed to determine the criteria used for screening and diagnosing cases with central auditory processing disorders (CAPD) in India. A cross-sectional questionnaire-based survey design was used in the present study. A questionnaire was developed to determine the criteria used for screening and diagnosing CAPD across clinics in India. Responses were obtained from 83 participants from all over India. Results indicated that 78% of respondents were currently doing CAPD evaluation. In that, the majority of respondents (63%) had a predetermined minimum battery that was relatively adaptable depending on the case history and age of the patient. In screening, most respondents used a screening questionnaire (SCAP, 75%) and a screening test (STAP, 60%). In the diagnostic protocol, the most used tests by the respondents were masking level difference (MLD), repetition of words (RW), gap detection test (GDT), pitch pattern test (PPT), speech perception in noise (SPIN), digit span test (DST), dichotic digit test (DDT), binaural fusion test (BFT), auditory brainstem response (ABR), dichotic CV test (DCVT), and duration pattern test (DPT). The current study's result will help professionals choose the minimum test battery for diagnosing CAPD.

AbstractGeneralized trust positively affects innovation at the regional level by reducing transaction costs and supporting collaboration. We develop theoretical reasons for why the trust–innovation relationship is heterogeneous across geographic space and identify two main mechanisms that drive this result: first, only regions in the lower half of the trust distribution benefit from an increase in trust; and second, as smaller firms lack internal capabilities such as research and development and therefore resort to informal collaboration, the trust–innovation relationship is stronger in regions with a large share of small firms. We argue that regional innovation work differently across regions and different mechanisms of cooperation can be leveraged to achieve innovation success. Our results highlight the role of trust during a certain stage in the process of regional economic development, since both low trust and a larger share of small business constitute characteristics of less developed regions.Key words: innovationtrustregional innovation systems AcknowledgmentsThe authors gratefully acknowledge comments from the members of the DFG-network on “The dynamics of innovation systems” which helped to improve the article and input received from participants at the Research Colloquium at the Chair of Economic Policy and SME research at the University of Goettingen.Notes1 OECD RegPat database, https://www.oecd.org/sti/inno/intellectual-property-statistics-and-analysis.htm#ip-data.2 European Social Survey—European Research Infrastructure, https://www.europeansocialsurvey.org/.3 Eurostat, https://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/data/database.4 Office of National Statistics (UK), gross domestic product https://www.ons.gov.uk/economy/grossdomesticproductgdp.5 Heritage Foundation, 2022 index of economic freedom, https://www.heritage.org/index/pdf/2022/book/2022_IndexofEconomicFreedom_Highlights.pdf.6 Each inventor is assigned a patent share that is equal to the inverse of the number of inventors of a patent.7 The following questions are included: 1. “Generally speaking, would you say that most people can be trusted, or that you can’t be too careful in dealing with people?” 2. “Do you think that most people would try to take advantage of you if they got the chance, or would they try to be fair?” 3. “Would you say that most of the time people try to be helpful or that they are mostly looking out for themselves?”8 ESPON database, https://database.espon.eu/.

The diversification of regions into new technologies is driven by the degree of relatedness to existing capabilities already present in the region. In cases where opportunities for diversification are rather limited, external knowledge that spills over from neighboring regions or from farther away might become an important driver of regional diversification. Despite the relative importance of interregional knowledge flows via collaborative work, we still have a very limited understanding of how collaboration networks across regions might facilitate diversification processes. The present study investigates the diversification patterns of European metropolitan and nonmetropolitan regions into new knowledge domains via technology classes reported in patent applications to the European Patent Office. The findings indicate that externally oriented inventor collaboration networks increase the likelihood that a new technology specialization enters a region, but this external orientation is less important for related diversification than for unrelated diversification. Further, the results demonstrate that interregional collaboration networks help diversification into unrelated technologies if external knowledge sourcing is based on a diverse set of regions and if collaboration is intense within companies located in distinct regions. Within-firm collaborations across regions can compensate for missing related skills in metropolitan and in nonmetropolitan regions alike but are especially important in nonmetropolitan regions. These results provide new evidence about the importance of knowledge flows within multilocation firms in the technological knowledge diversification of regions.
