Objective

To assess the discriminative validity and diagnostic accuracy of posturographic parameters from the Horus® in individuals with and without vestibulopathy.

Methods

This is a methodological study of discriminative validity and diagnostic accuracy. 153 individuals aged 40–79, of both sexes, were included and divided into Group 1 (with vestibular dysfunction) and Group 2 (without vestibular dysfunction). Instruments on clinical characterization, cognition, physical activity level, and posturography were applied. Discriminative validity was assessed with nonparametric multivariate analyses, the Mann-Whitney test, controlled with Holm adjustment and rank-biserial correlation to estimate effect size. Sensitivity, specificity, area under the curve, and cutoff points were calculated using ROC curves.

Results

The final sample included 78 individuals in Group 1 and 75 in Group 2, with mean ages of 59.36 and 56.48 years, respectively. Significant differences were found between the groups for all dependent variables related to confidence ellipse/limit of stability and mediolateral velocity (p < 0.001), with moderate to large differences (ES > 0.28) and in most of the anteroposterior velocity and sensory analysis (p < 0.005), with small to moderate differences (ES: >0.11 and <0.43). The ROC curve analysis revealed that confidence ellipse/limit of stability and mediolateral velocity exhibited high specificity (84% and 80%) and moderate sensitivity (52.6% and 53.85%). The Vestibular Function parameter demonstrated good sensitivity (70%) and moderate specificity (60.8%), while the Composite Balance Index showed a sensitivity of 79.5% and specificity of 64%.

Conclusion

Horus® posturographic parameters demonstrated moderate to good discriminative ability to differentiate individuals with and without vestibular dysfunction, with high sensitivity for vestibular function and the Composite Balance Index.

Objectives

To develop and evaluate the anatomical accuracy and haptic fidelity of an affordable kit consisting of a silicone head, a foam support, and a 3D-printed biomodel of the paranasal sinuses for surgical training.

Methods

This single-center, technological, and interventional study detailed the development of a human sinus biomodel. Its anatomical and haptic evaluation was conducted by ten senior rhinologists, who performed 37 standard surgical tasks. Participants rated similarity to fresh cadaveric dissection on a 5-point Likert scale. Computed tomographic images were converted into a standard tessellation file through a combination of automatic and manual segmentation. This file was then used in a 3D printer to create the biomodel, which was customized with a red silicone coating to emulate mucosa, as well as silicone-insulated wire and acrylic yarn to simulate arteries and nerves. The model was mounted onto a silicone head and foam support, with a total production cost of US$ 43.37.

Results

The similarity of anatomic landmarks scored a mean above 4.0 ± SD on both sides. The lacrimal bone drilling/debulking procedure was somewhat suboptimal for exposing the lacrimal sac, scoring a mean of 3.1 ± 1.04 on the left side but 4.3 ± 0.64 on the right. Likewise, uncinectomy was rated 3.4 ± 1.02 on the left and 3.7 ± 0.90 on the right, while the periorbit incision received scores of 3.5 ± 0.92 on the left and 4.5 ± 0.50 on the right. All other steps received ratings above 4.0 ± SD.

Conclusion

This study presents a fully reproducible and cost-effective method for constructing a 3D sinus biomodel. The model demonstrated high anatomical and haptic fidelity, as validated by senior rhinologists, making it a valuable tool for surgical training in sinonasal procedures.

Objectives

This study aimed to use Mendelian Randomization (MR) method to explore the potential causal association of triglyceride and cholesterol on the risk of vestibular vertigo and potential mediating factors.

Methods

We extracted genetic variants associated with triglyceride and cholesterol from the genome-wide association study. Univariable two-sample MR were performed to evaluate the effects of triglyceride and cholesterol on the vestibular vertigo. Besides, Multivariate MR (MVMR) was used to estimate direct effects of triglyceride and cholesterol on the vestibular vertigo after adjusting for potential mediating factors. We also performed that a two-step mediation MR framework to elucidate potential mediators and to estimate the proportion of the association mediated.

Results

Genetically predicted triglyceride and cholesterol were positively associated with the risk of vestibular vertigo. In the MVMR analysis, causal associations between triglyceride and cholesterol with vestibular vertigo remained stable and robust after adjusting for body mass index, hypertension, and type 2 diabetes, whereas the association between triglyceride and cholesterol and the risk of vestibular vertigo became nonsignificant after adjusting for vitamin D. In the mediation analysis, we found that the causal effect of cholesterol on vestibular vertigo might partly mediated by vitamin D.

Conclusion

The present study provides robust evidence that genetically predicted triglyceride and cholesterol are independently causally associated with the risk of vestibular vertigo. Vitamin D also was found to mediate the causal pathways between cholesterol and vestibular vertigo.

目的采用孟德尔随机化方法,探讨甘油三酯和胆固醇与前庭性眩晕发病风险的潜在因果关系及可能的中介因素。方法从全基因组关联研究中提取与甘油三酯和胆固醇相关的遗传变异。单变量双样本磁共振评估甘油三酯和胆固醇对前庭性眩晕的影响。此外,多变量磁共振(MVMR)用于评估甘油三酯和胆固醇对前庭性眩晕的直接影响,调整了潜在的中介因素。我们还执行了两步中介MR框架,以阐明潜在的中介并估计关联中介的比例。结果基因预测的甘油三酯和胆固醇与前庭性眩晕的风险呈正相关。在MVMR分析中,在调整了体重指数、高血压和2型糖尿病因素后,甘油三酯和胆固醇与前庭性眩晕之间的因果关系保持稳定和强烈,而在调整了维生素d因素后,甘油三酯和胆固醇与前庭性眩晕风险之间的关系变得不显著。我们发现胆固醇对前庭性眩晕的因果影响可能部分由维生素d介导。结论本研究提供了强有力的证据,证明遗传预测的甘油三酯和胆固醇与前庭性眩晕的风险独立因果相关。维生素D也被发现可以调节胆固醇和前庭性眩晕之间的因果关系。证据等级:III级。

Objective

To propose a protocol for image-guided implant placement estimation, combining 3D reconstruction of preoperative Computed Tomography (CT) images and a guide-marker, for individuals undergoing percutaneous Bone Conduction Hearing Devices (BCHD).

Methods

Fifty-one subjects aged 6- to 75-years undergoing percutaneous BCHD surgery were included. Three optional implant points were estimated and marked using a guide-marker, and compared with preoperative CT images to define optimal placement. A peer validation was conducted by two independent reviewers to assess the replicability of the protocol in clinical practice.

Results

Bilateral CT images were obtained from all 51 subjects, and a total of 54 BCHD surgeries were performed. Relevant findings, including mastoid cells (19.6%), cranial suture lines (27.5%), perforating vessels (13.7%), bone surface irregularities (1.9%), venous lakes (9.8%), and fixation plates (3.9%) were identified in 52.9% of subjects, and they affected the implant placement in 37.3% of cases. There was moderate agreement between the reviewers regarding implant placement in both right and left ears, and in relation to the actual implant placement performed during the surgical procedure.

Conclusion

The image-guided implant placement estimation, combining 3D reconstruction of preoperative Computed Tomography (CT) images and a guide-marker, has proven reliable and effective for estimating optimal implant placement in subjects undergoing percutaneous BCHD surgery, thereby constituting a valuable tool for clinical practice.

Objective

To develop and evaluate a predictive model for cognitive impairment, assessed by a brief cognitive test, among middle-aged and older adults with self-reported hearing loss, aiming to facilitate early identification and targeted intervention in high-risk populations.

Methods

This study utilized data from the 2011–2018 waves of the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study, including 1,093 individuals aged 45 and above with self-reported hearing impairment but normal cognition at baseline. The average follow-up duration was 5.2-years. Cognitive impairment was defined as a total cognitive score at least one standard deviation below the mean for the corresponding age group. Univariate and multivariate Cox proportional hazards models were used to identify independent predictors, and a nomogram was constructed based on significant variables. Model performance was assessed using calibration curves, time-dependent Concordance indices (C-index), and the Area Under the receiver operating Characteristic Curve (AUC). Risk stratification analysis was conducted across various sociodemographic subgroups.

Results

During follow-up, 152 individuals (13.9%) developed cognitive impairment. Higher education level, urban residence, and participation in leisure social activities (e.g., playing mahjong) were independently associated with lower risk of cognitive impairment. The nomogram demonstrated good discriminative performance, with AUCs of 0.728, 0.762, and 0.768, and corresponding time-dependent C-indices of 0.719, 0.761, and 0.767 at 3-, 5-, and 6-year follow-up points, respectively. Calibration plots indicated good agreement between predicted and observed risks. Risk scores varied significantly across subgroups defined by sex, age, education level, and residential location. Kaplan–Meier analyses confirmed the model’s effective risk stratification capability.

Conclusion

This study presents the first predictive model tailored to cognitive risk heterogeneity among older adults with self-reported hearing loss. By incorporating a brief cognitive test, the nomogram demonstrated reliable performance and holds potential for use in risk stratification, population screening, and personalized preventive interventions.

Objective

This study aims to assess the relationship between Hepatitis B Virus (HBV) and Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) infections and Head and Neck (H&N) lymphoma in a region where HBV and HCV are highly prevalent.

Methods

Patients diagnosed with H&N lymphoma between 2013 and 2022 at our institution were eligible for the study, with exclusion criteria applied to patients with a history of recurrence, other cancers, HIV infections, organ transplantation, and those below 18-years of age. The first and the second control group comprised outpatients and patients diagnosed with Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma (HNSCC) who were gender and age-matched at the same hospital. Logistic regression analysis, which was adjusted for sex, age, smoking, alcohol consumption, Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA), and Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE), was utilized to estimate the Odds Ratio (OR) and 95% Confidence Interval (95% CI) for HBV and HCV infection status.

Results

From 2013 to 2022, 304 patients with H&N lymphoma were identified. After excluding those with a history of other cancers or recurrences, 262 patients remained. The first control group included 1048 matched outpatients. Additionally, 262 patients diagnosed with HNSCC during the same period were selected as the second control group. Of the 242 Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma (NHL) patients, 102 had Extranodal Lymphoma (ENL). Of these ENL patients, 49 tested positive for HBV and 17 for HCV. After controlling for the confounding factors, NHL patients with HBsAg positivity had a significantly higher prevalence rate than healthy controls, particularly among B-cell Lymphoma and Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma (DLBCL) patients. Furthermore, there were no significant differences in HCV infections between the three groups.

Conclusions

In conclusion, the study found a significant link between HBV infection and H&N NHL, particularly DLBCL in Taiwan. However, no significant link was discovered between HCV infection and H&N lymphoma. These findings suggest a potential role for HBV in the development of H&N NHL and DLBCL.

Objective

Sudden Sensorineural Hearing Loss (SSNHL) is routinely encountered in otolaryngology clinics. The prognosis of SSNHL varies dramatically and depends on multiple influence factors. This study aimed to develop an explainable Machine Learning (ML) model with easily accessible features to predict the prognosis of SSNHL.

Methods

This bi-center retrospective study included 534 patients with SSNHL. We randomly split the data into training and validation sets. Univariate analysis and Least Absolute Shrinkage and Selection Operator (LASSO) regression were employed to select predominant features, including demographic, disease-specific characteristics, and laboratory items. We evaluated the performance of five ML models constructed with six crucial variables using the Area Under the receiver operating characteristic Curve (AUC), accuracy, specificity, sensitivity, and F1 scores. These models were further calibrated by calibration curve and Brier score. Clinical utility was evaluated by Decision Curve Analysis (DCA). The Shapley Additive Explanations (SHAP) method was applied to interpret feature contribution and explain the ML models.

Results

The Random Forest (RF) model reached the highest AUC of 0.998. Its accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, and F1 score were 0.981, 0.963, 0.989, and 0.967, respectively. DCA curve analysis revealed a comparable net benefit of the models. The SHAP method revealed that the primary features were degree of hearing loss, audiogram type, age, Mean Corpuscular Volume (MCV), onset to treatment, and serum Albumin (ALB) accordingly.

Conclusions

The explainable ML model was superb in predicting hearing outcome and providing information on feature contributions. Clinicians can better understand the contributors to hearing recovery and guide aural rehabilitation using the SHAP method.

Objectives

Human Papillomavirus (HPV) may be a predictive biomarker predictor for clinical outcome and influence treatment decisions in patients with Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma (HNSCC).

Methods

We evaluated 253 patients with HNSCC from state of São Paulo, Brazil. The influence of p16INK4a expression was analyzed with epidemiological and clinical variables.

Results

In total, 32.4% of tumors studied had positive (+) p16INK4a protein expression, and 67.6% had negative. The variables were similar in both groups being the mostly with age under 64-years, male, white race, functional illiterate, smokers and alcoholics. The most affected primary site was oral cavity with T3/T4 tumoral stage, N1/N2/N3 nodals, M0 metastasis and III/IV clinical stage. Patients with oropharyngeal primary site and (+) p16INK4a, clinical staging III and chemotherapy treatment had worse survival. The median time of distant metastasis-free was 38.3-months in oropharyngeal (+) p16INK4a and 15.1-months in negative (−) p16INK4a.

Conclusion

In the present study, the epidemiological variables are similar in both groups (Positive and negative p16INK4a expression): age under 64-years, male, white, functionally illiterate, smokers and alcoholics. There is no association of p16INK4a expression with primary site, however, the (−) p16INK4a shows better overall survival, higher frequencies in distant metastasis and less free time of the disease. Although the literature shows a greater survival in oropharynx (+) p16INK4a, our results are contradictory. It is suggested that future studies in different regions and with a larger sample size should be carried out to confirm these findings, because the patients who participated in the present study are only from a specific region of Brazil.

目的:人乳头瘤病毒(HPV)可能是头颈部鳞状细胞癌(HNSCC)患者临床结果的预测性生物标志物预测因子,并影响治疗决策。方法:我们评估了来自巴西圣保罗州的253例HNSCC患者。结合流行病学和临床变量分析p16INK4a表达的影响。结果:在所研究的肿瘤中,p16INK4a蛋白阳性(+)表达占32.4%,阴性表达占67.6%。两组的变量相似,大多为64岁以下、男性、白种人、功能性文盲、吸烟者和酗酒者。原发部位以口腔为主,伴T3/T4期肿瘤、N1/N2/N3期淋巴结、M0期转移及III/IV期临床分期。口咽原发部位和(+)p16INK4a、临床分期为III期和化疗的患者生存率较差。口咽p16INK4a阳性患者无远处转移的中位时间为38.3个月,p16INK4a阴性患者为15.1个月。结论:在本研究中,p16INK4a阳性和阴性两组的流行病学变量相似:年龄在64岁以下,男性,白人,功能文盲,吸烟者和酗酒者。p16INK4a的表达与原发部位没有相关性,但(-)p16INK4a表现出更好的总生存率、更高的远处转移频率和更短的疾病空闲时间。虽然文献显示口咽部(+)p16INK4a的存活率更高,但我们的结果是矛盾的。由于参与本研究的患者仅来自巴西的一个特定地区,因此建议在未来进行不同地区和更大样本量的研究来证实这些发现。证据等级:2B。
