Diagnosis of a patient with severe sensorineural hearing loss as the initial symptom caused by novel compound heterozygous variant in SLC19A2 gene
Yanan Shi, Junyang Li, Xiaoqin Chen, Niu Li, Sijie Yang, Youjin Li, Min Zhou
Highlights

  • Identified novel compound heterozygous variants in SLC19A2 causing TRMA syndrome.

  • Severe sensorineural hearing loss was the initial symptom in a TRMA syndrome case.

  • cDNA analysis confirmed exon 3 skipping and frameshift mutation in SLC19A2.

  • TRMA syndrome should be considered in patients with hearing loss and glucose issues.

  • Findings expand the pathogenic variant spectrum of SLC19A2 in TRMA syndrome.

Clinical and audiological profile of patients with sudden sensorineural hearing loss after exposure to recreational noise
Lara Freire Bezerril Soares, Breno Lima de Almeida, Igor Ataíde Silva Teixeira, Maria Luisa Frechiani Lara Maciel, Jorge Vinícius Leocádio Monteiro, Luanna Miranda Martins, Marina Cançado Passarelli Scott, Norma de Oliveira Penido
Highlights

  • Recreational acoustic trauma is a growing public health concern in young people.

  • Profiles of young adults with sudden hearing loss after noise exposure are described.

  • Noise exposure included music events and parties for 3–5 h near sound sources.

  • Recreational drug use is common and harms hearing health, alongside noise exposure.

  • Significant auditory sequelae may occur due to variable rates of hearing recovery.

Analysis of PTH serum concentration from internal jugular veins of patients with primary hyperparathyroidism
Davi Knoll Ribeiro, Murilo Catafesta das Neves, Rodrigo de Oliveira Santos, Marcio Abrahao
Highlights

  • Localization of parathyroid in primary disease sometimes is a challenge to surgeons.

  • There are some methods available like scintigraphy with MIB and parathyroid ultrasound, but occasionally parathyroid would not be located.

  • The blood collection of internal jugular veins and dosage of PTH can be useful as a method for the localization of parathyroid in patients with primary disease.

  • The selective PTH collection from the jugular vein identified adenoma laterally in 75.86% of patients with primary hyperparathyroidism.

Analysis of the frontal recess pneumatization pattern in patients with chronic frontal sinusopathy
Krystal Calmeto Negri, Rogério Hamerschmidt, Cassio Iwamoto, Carolina Rodrigues Laranjeira Vilar
Highlights

  • The supra-Agger frontal and supra bulla frontal cells predispose sinusopathy.

  • Supra bulla frontal cells are independent factors for the outcome.

  • Preoperative tomographic analysis provides greater safety to the surgery.

  • Tomographic analysis allows anatomical understanding of the recess and frontal sinus.
