The use of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) in melanoma patients has significantly improved treatment outcomes. Unfortunately, ICI therapy is associated with specific immune-related adverse events (irAEs). There is limited data on the use of ICIs in patients with autoimmune or allergic diseases, because these patients have typically been excluded from clinical trials. Eosinophilic inflammatory bowel disease (primary eosinophilic gastrointestinal disorders) is a rare condition defined as eosinophilic...

Here, we describe the behavior of MEC of the UADT including pathologic characteristics and predictors of nodal metastasis. Methods: Retrospective cohort study of patients with MEC of the UADT treated at an academic medical center from January 2008 to May 2018. Data was collected about demographics and tumor...

Objective: Head trauma can cause deafness in cases with and without a skull base fracture. Anatomic disruption can occur with skull base fractures, but inner ear structures can also be damaged by the concussive forces of the trauma even without fracture. It is thought that negative prognostic indicators for successful cochlear implantation (CI) for hearing rehabilitation include fractures involving the otic capsule or ossification of the cochlea. This review evaluates success of CI in posttrauma...

Aligning Hearing Aid and Cochlear Implant Improves Hearing Outcome in Bimodal Cochlear Implant Users
Objective: Patients with unilateral deafness and residual hearing on the contralateral ear can benefit from a cochlear implant (CI) on one side and a hearing aid (HA) on the other. However, hearing improvement among these patients is heterogenous. Interindividual differences in bimodal benefit may be caused by a mismatch of CI and HA. The aim of this study was to clinically apply a HA fitting strategy and to evaluate hearing outcome with and without a dedicated bimodal fitting formula. Study...
