This multi-population genome-wide association meta-analysis identifies shared and distinct genetic architectures between chronic rhinosinusitis and nasal polyps, revealing substantial shared liability while highlighting that immune-driven mechanisms play a more dominant role in nasal polyp heritability than epithelial factors.
This study demonstrates that estimating middle ear input impedance from wideband tympanometry data, when combined with standard audiometric air-bone gaps, significantly improves the automated classification accuracy of stapes fixation and superior canal dehiscence compared to using air-bone gaps or absorbance metrics alone.
This study demonstrates that SMELL-RS, a rapid, self-administered, and digital olfactory test, offers reliable and accurate assessment of smell dysfunction with significantly shorter completion times compared to traditional Sniffin' Sticks tests.
This study demonstrates that speech-in-noise difficulties in cystic fibrosis patients treated with aminoglycosides are primarily driven by standard-frequency hearing loss and efferent pathway dysfunction, rather than the extended-high-frequency sensitivity loss typically associated with ototoxicity.
This study utilizes thematic analysis of interviews with nineteen participants to demonstrate that while both virtual and in-person formats of the ABOHNS Oral Board Examination contribute to Professional Identity Formation, the traditional in-person format uniquely acts as a catalyst for ongoing identity development and community integration.
This meta-analysis of 27 studies concludes that while bone conduction auditory steady-state responses (BC ASSRs) are a reliable method for estimating hearing thresholds in adults and infants, significant variations based on age and frequency necessitate the development of specific correction factors to accurately predict behavioral thresholds.
