Article Abstract

Objectives: Misplacement of the CI electrode array is one of the rarest complications of cochlear implant surgery. This condition can be noticed intraoperatively and diagnosed radiologically in the early postoperative period. To present a novel and minimally invasive revision approach for a misplaced cochlear implant (CI) electrode array.

Case: In this case report, the authors present a previously undescribed alternative minimally invasive revision cochlear implantation approach for a patient with a misplaced CI electrode array in the right ear who underwent bilateral simultaneous cochlear implantation one and a half years ago at another center.

Conclusion: To correct CI electrode array misplacement, the endoscopic transcanal approach is a safe and effective alternative to the conventional approach.

Amorphous silicon resistors enable smaller pixels in photovoltaic retinal prosthesis.

Clinical trials of the photovoltaic subretinal prosthesis PRIMA demonstrated feasibility of prosthetic central vision with resolution matching its 100 μm pixel width. To improve prosthetic acuity further, pixel size should be decreased. However, there are multiple challenges, one of which is related to accommodating a compact shunt resistor within each pixel that discharges the electrodes between stimulation pulses and helps increase the contrast of the electric field pattern.

Novel hypoglossal stimulation markedly improves airflow and airway collapsibility in OSA.

Chest

September 2025

Flinders Health and Medical Research Institute/Adelaide Institute for Sleep Health, Flinders University, Bedford Park, South Australia, Australia.

Background: Hypoglossal nerve stimulation (HNS) to treat obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) currently requires placement of a cuff or 'saddle' electrode around or adjacent to the hypoglossal nerve(s). Limitations for this therapy include cost, invasiveness, and variable efficacy.

Research Question: Can HNS applied via percutaneous implantation of a linear, multi-pair electrode array restore airflow to airway narrowing and/or obstruction, and improve airway collapsibility in people with OSA?

Study Design And Methods: Participants with OSA undergoing drug induced sleep endoscopy with propofol were instrumented with an epiglottic pressure catheter, nasal mask and pneumotachograph.

Introduction: Efficient preclinical prediction of cardiovascular side effects poses a pivotal challenge for the pharmaceutical industry. Human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes (hiPSC-CMs) are becoming increasingly important in this field due to inaccessibility of human native cardiac tissue. Current preclinical hiPSC-CMs models focus on functional changes such as electrophysiological abnormalities, however other parameters, such as structural toxicity, remain less understood.

Introduction: The dorsal horn (DH) of the spinal cord is physiologically immature at birth. Spinal excitability increases and wide dynamic range (WDR) neurons in lamina V have lowered activation thresholds and larger receptive field sizes.

Objective: The DH is composed of 5 laminae containing diverse interneuronal populations yet our understanding of the physiology of the DH is based on behavioural studies or extrapolation of single cell WDR recordings to the whole network.

An electrostatic linear ion trap (ELIT) is used to trap ions between two ion mirrors with image current detection by central detection electrode. Transformation of the time-domain signal to the frequency-domain via Fourier transform (FT) yields an ion frequency spectrum that can be converted to a mass-to-charge scale. Injection of ions into an ELIT from an external ion source leads to a time-of-flight ion separation that ultimately determines the range of over which ions can be collected from a given ion injection step.
