Tomographic comparison of the cochlea, oval window, round window and facial nerve between adults and children and their influence on cochlear implant surgery
Rogerio Hamerschmidt, Mohamad Feras Al-lahham, Bettina Carvalho, Mayara Risnei Watanabe, Rogério de Azevedo Hamerschmidt, Isadora Mansur Castro
Highlights

  • Cochlear implant surgery via round window ensures less trauma.

  • Understanding morphology and anatomical relationships of the round window is important.

  • Angle between Round Window Membrane (RWM) and the Facial Nerve (FN) with the Coronal Plane (CP).

  • Vertical distance between Round Window Membrane (RWM) and the Facial Nerve (RWM-FN).

  • RWM-FN-CP angle is more acute, and the vertical distance (RWM-FN) is smaller in children.

Causal role of immune cells in allergic rhinitis: A bidirectional Mendelian randomization study
Yuhan Tan, Xiaoyan Hu, Jing Zhang, Shuoyu Wan, Liang Jiang
Highlights

  • Immune cells causally affect allergic rhinitis, guiding therapy and clinical study.

  • The study used two independent samples to avoid overfitting caused by duplication.

  • Bidirectional Mendelian randomization analysis effectively excluded reverse causality.

  • Multiple immune cells were evaluated for AR association, preventing single-marker bias.

Otoprotective effect of the use of antioxidants on noise exposure in experimental studies with rodents – A systematic review with meta-analysis
Gabriela Guenther Ribeiro Novanta, Ana Carolina Odorizzi Zica, Maria Luiza Queiroz Sampaio, Camila de Castro Corrêa, Lucieny Silva Martins Serra, Andre Luiz Lopes Sampaio
Highlights

  • Antioxidants provide protection against the effects of noise.

  • Studies that standardize the methodology in noise should be encouraged.

  • SYRCLE analysis revealed a high risk of bias in all eligible studies.

  • Divergences in methods impair the reliability and replicability.

Mendelian randomization and FinnGen analysis of the causal relationship between 473 gut microbiota species and chronic sinusitis
Chenguang Zhang, Yicong Wang, Chenghao Hu, Bin Guo, Huwei Jiang, Chunlong Zhao, Yuwen Wang
Highlights

  • 20 gut microbes linked to sinusitis: 7 risk (Francisellales), 13 protective (Firmicutes I).

  • Multi-method MR (IVW, Bayesian-weighted) and sensitivity tests confirm robustness.

  • Gut-sinus axis highlighted as a novel therapeutic target for precision medicine.

  • FinnGen cohort (393,619 individuals) supports large-scale causal inference.
