Surgical timing for bilateral simultaneous cochlear implants: When is best?
Hearing loss is considered the most common congenital disease and the prevalence of neonatal deafness can be estimated between 1 and 2 cases per 1000 live births.Infant deafness must be diagnosed as early as possible and an effective therapeutic intervention needs to be carried out in order to avoid the serious consequences of hearing deprivation during the evolutionary period: alterations in the development of central auditory pathways and lack of language acquisition.The cochlear implant (CI) has proved to be the best instrument to solve the problem of auditory deprivation.

Emergence delirium and intranasal dexmedetomidine: The importance of method, dosing, and timing of administration
The recent retrospective study of intranasal dexmedetomidine to prevent emergence delirium in pediatric patients undergoing ear tube surgery failed to show any efficacy in preventing this troublesome complication [1]. The reasons for this are likely several, and although Santana and Mills outlined some of them in their report, the subgroup analysis on the timing of drug administration did suggest that had the dose been given earlier – i.e., even before the induction of anesthesia as a preoperative sedative (which has been successfully used before [2,3]) – then perhaps the drug may have been more efficacious.

Evaluation of gap filling skills and reading mistakes of cochlear implanted and normally hearing students
This study aimed to (1) evaluate the gap filling skills and reading mistakes of students with cochlear implants, and to (2) compare their results with those of their normal-hearing peers. The effects of implantation age and total time of cochlear implant use were analyzed in relation to the subjects' reading skills development.

Protocol incorporating airway CT decreases negative bronchoscopy rates for suspected foreign bodies in pediatric patients
Background: Foreign body aspiration (FBA) is the 4th leading cause of death in children between the ages 1-5. Although direct laryngoscopy and bronchoscopy (DL&B) is the reference standard for diagnosis of pediatric airway foreign bodies, there is a high negative bronchoscopy rate, exposing patients to unnecessary operative and anesthetic risks and costs.Methods: A clinical care protocol entailing the selective use of low-dose non-contrast airway computed tomography (CT) for children with an intermediate risk for FBA on the basis of clinical exam and chest radiography was implemented to decrease the negative DL&B rate. (So...
