Two novel homozygous missense mutations identified in the BSND gene in Moroccan patients with Bartter's syndrome
Hearing loss (HL) is one of the most common sensorineural disorders. In the present study, we identified two novel missense mutations in BSND gene causing Bartter syndrome type IV which is a genetic disease with an autosomal recessive transmission, characterized by hypokalaemia, metabolic alkalosis, an elevation in plasma renin activity and hyperaldosteronism as well as sensorineural deafness.

Extremely common radiographic finding of cochlear nerve deficiency among infants with prelingual single-sided deafness and its clinical implications
To clarify the common radiographic findings of audiologically documented prelingual single-sided deafness (SSD) and identify the prevalence of cochlear nerve deficiency (CND) in SSD infants referred from the newborn hearing screening program.

Effect of Sleep Deprivation on Hearing Levels in Rats
To our knowledge, the influence of sleep deprivation on hearing levels has yet to be assessed in animals. Therefore, we evaluated whether auditory function was affected by sleep deprivation in rats. (Source: International Journal of Pediatric Otorhinolaryngology)

The Wound Healing Capacity Of Undifferentiated And Differentiated Airway Epithelial Cells In Vitro
Congenital or acquired tracheal lesions alter airway epithelial structure and can lead to long-segment tracheal defects. Tissue engineered tracheal grafts (TETG) have the potential to cure such defects; however, clinical applications have been plagued with numerous complications including delayed graft epithelialization. The knowledge that epithelial cells migrate from native tissue to the TETG raises the possibility that TETG performance can be improved by increasing the rate of epithelialization.

Juvenile recurrent parotitis: a systematic review of treatment studies
Juvenile recurrent parotitis is a rare recurrent inflammation of the parotid glands occurring in children. The etiology remains obscure and the treatment is still debated. In the present study, we perform a systematic review of the literature with the purpose of identifying and discussing the treatment options emerged over the last 28 years in order to prevent recurrent episodes of parotitis.We ultimately included 24 studies. The definitions used for juvenile recurrent parotitis varied widely and none of the selected studies referred exactly to the same definition.

Bilateral auditory ossicular expansions in a child with beta-thalassemia major: case report and literature review
We report a third paediatric case from Australia. A seven-year-old with thalassemia major demonstrated conductive impairment during surveillance for Deferasirox ototoxicity. Otitis media was assumed, however, CT scan of the petrous temporal bone revealed extramedullary haematopoiesis causing bilateral ossicular expansions and fixed conductive deficit. Reports of hearing loss in the thalassemia population focus on sensorineural impairment from iron chelation therapies. (Source: International Journal of Pediatric Otorhinolaryngology)

Pediatric case of squamous cell carcinoma arising from a keratocystic odontogenic tumor
Keratocystic odontogenic tumors (KCOT) are exceptional in children and adolescents as they usually occur in the third decade. The present study reports the case of a 15 years old girl who was diagnosed with a KCOT that underwent malignant transformation. KCOT diagnostic was based on clinical, radiological, histopathological and immunohistochemical findings. A conservative treatment by enucleation was performed. Histopathological analysis of the surgical specimen concluded to a KCOT, with an infra-centimetric focus of well-differentiated squamous cell carcinoma.

MicroRNAs for the pediatric otolaryngologist
The scope of pediatric otolaryngology is broad and encompasses a wide variety of diseases in which the fundamental phenotype-causing abnormality exists at the level of gene regulation and expression. Development of novel molecular biology instruments to diagnose disease, monitor treatment response, and prevent recurrence will facilitate the delivery of appropriate surgical and adjuvant medical treatments with lower morbidity. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have emerged as a relatively new class of molecules that directly modulate gene expression and are abnormally expressed in a multitude of disease processes including those within th...

The child doesn't hear? On breaking bad news as perceived by parents and audiologists
The object of this study was to explore how parents experienced receiving the news of their child's hearing loss, and how audiologists experienced the situation of conveying the diagnosis, in order to examine improvements to the current process.
