Article Abstract
Background And Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the effects of hearing aids (HAs) on reducing symptoms of dizziness in patients with hearing loss (HL) and dizziness. Subjects and.
Methods: A pre- and post-intervention study was conducted between February 2022 and July 2022 at the outpatient clinic of a tertiary hospital in Seoul, South Korea. Ten participants (four males and six females) with HL and dizziness were recruited. Participants were screened using pure-tone audiometry and visual analog scale scores at baseline. Selected participants underwent the Modified Clinical Test of Sensory Interaction on Balance (mCTSIB) and Korean Dizziness Handicap Inventory (K-DHI) in the unaided state. Thereafter, participants were provided HAs and instructed to use them for at least 6 hours every day. At the 1-month follow-up, all participants were assessed in the aided state using the same tests as at baseline. All tests were performed bilaterally.
Results: In the mCTSIB, a significant difference was observed in the foam surface-eyes closed score before (median=2.35) and after (median=2.2) HA use (p=0.049). No significant differences were observed in the K-DHI scores before and after HA use.
Conclusions: HA use may improve the static and subjective perception of balance in patients with HL and dizziness. Future research should explore the benefits of HAs under various balance conditions such as dynamic balance and gait.

Purpose: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of teprotumumab for the treatment of thyroid eye disease in geriatric patients.
Methods: This was a multicenter cohort study of patients aged 75 and older, treated between February 2020 and September 2023 across 10 tertiary institutions. Patients were included if they had moderate-to-severe thyroid eye disease and at least 1 infusion of teprotumumab.
Physical morbidities in survivors of testicular germ cell tumors during childhood, adolescence, and young adulthood: a population-based retrospective matched cohort study.

Child Health Evaluative Sciences, The Hospital for Sick Children Research Institute, 686 Bay St., Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
Background: While testicular germ cell tumors (TGCT) survival exceeds 90%, many survivors of adult TGCT are at risk for treatment toxicities. Less is known about physical morbidities in children, adolescents, and young adults (CAYA) with TGCT.
Methods: We used the Pediatric Oncology Group of Ontario Networked Information System, the Initiative to Maximize Progress in Adolescent and Young Adult Cancer Therapy, and the Ontario Cancer Registry to identify all CAYA males diagnosed with TGCT from 1992 to 2021 at age 11-21 years in Ontario, Canada.
Digitally delivered treatment for unusual sensory experiences for people with psychosis: a real-world service evaluation study.

Early Intervention in Psychosis Services, Cumbria, Northumberland, Tyne and Wear NHS Foundation Trust, Newcastle upon Tyne, UK.
Background: Hallucinations and other unusual sensory experiences (USE) are common in people with psychosis. Yet access to effective psychological therapies remains limited. We evaluated if we can increase access to psychological therapy by using a brief treatment, focused only on understanding and dealing with hallucinations (Managing Unusual Sensory Experiences; MUSE), delivered by a less trained but more widely available workforce that harnessed the benefits (engaging content, standardisation) afforded by digital technology.

School of Nursing, Peking University, Beijing, China.
Background: The high prevalence of hearing difficulty among older adults has been associated with an increased risk of mental health conditions, including depression and anxiety symptoms. This study aimed to investigate the inter-relationships between depression and anxiety symptoms among older adults with and without hearing difficulty.
Methods: Network analysis was used to reveal the central symptoms exerting the most influence on other symptoms and bridge symptoms connecting two distinct symptoms between depression and anxiety symptoms, and the Bayesian network was used to identify activating symptoms affecting specific downstream symptoms.
The X-Age Project to construct a Chinese aging clock.

Aging Biomarker Consortium (ABC), Beijing, China.
The global surge in the population of people 60 years and older, including that in China, challenges healthcare systems with rising age-related diseases. To address this demographic change, the Aging Biomarker Consortium (ABC) has launched the X-Age Project to develop a comprehensive aging evaluation system tailored to the Chinese population. Our goal is to identify robust biomarkers and construct composite aging clocks that capture biological age, defined as an individual's physiological and molecular state, across diverse Chinese cohorts.
