Article Abstract
Objectives: The aim of this study was to investigate whether there is a significant correlation between intra- and postoperative electrically evoked stapedius reflex thresholds (eSRTs) in children with cochlear implants.
Methods: Sixty-five pediatric cochlear implant users were included in this study. All patients had congenital prelingual hearing loss. The round window approach was used in all patients. The eSRTs were intraoperatively measured using the 1st, 3rd, 6th and 12th electrodes of the cochlear implant. The measurements taken during the first fitting of the device were taken again one month after surgery. We used paired-sample t-tests to determine the correlation between intra- and postoperative eSRTs.
Results: The eSRT analysis revealed a statistically significant difference between the intra- and postoperative thresholds. A correlation analysis did not reveal any correlation between intra- and postoperative eSRTs.
Conclusion: Intraoperative eSRT measurements were unable to predict early postoperative eSRTs.

Minimally invasive laparoscopic surgical techniques are desirable in horses and other equids. A new approach called "modified single incision laparoscopic surgery (SILS) for equine cryptorchidectomy" is described, along with the postoperative outcomes of 10 equids. A SILS Port device (Covidien) was placed a 30- to 40-millimeter incision in combination with 1 or 2 15-millimeter para-inguinal incisions to exteriorize the intra-abdominal testicles.

Objectives: In patients with cochlear implants, tools for measuring intracochlear electric environment as well as neural responses to electrical stimulation are widely available. This study aimed to investigate the possible correlation of changes in the responsiveness of the auditory nerve measured by neural response telemetry with changes in the peak and spread of the intracochlear electric field measured by transimpedance matrix (TIM) in patients implanted with straight electrode arrays.
Design: In this retrospective study, we analyzed a cohort of 144 ears of 113 consecutive patients who were implanted with Slim Straight electrode array (Cochlear Ltd.

Background: A comprehensive knowledge of renal vasculature is essential to diagnose and carry out safe clinical interventions accurately. Anatomic variations in renal vessels can present procedural challenges in surgeries such as nephrectomy, transplants, and endovascular interventions.
Methods: In the present retrospective study, we analyzed the distribution patterns of the renal vascular variants and measurements of length and diameter in computed tomography angiographies (CTAs).

Atraumatic bilateral osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) is a rare phenomenon whose etiology is not fully understood. In this report, we describe the case of a 75-year-old female patient who developed rapidly onset bilateral ONFH after intra-articular corticosteroid injections. She was treated with staged bilateral total hip arthroplasty.
