A retained cotton bud in a man's ear resulted in necrotizing otitis externa, a serious infection, according to a recent case report (BMJ Case Rep. 2019 Mar 6;12[3]. pii: e227971). Doctors at the department of otolaryngology at University Hospitals Coventry and Warwickshire NHS Trust in the United Kingdom described a 31-year-old man who presented to the emergency department with new-onset seizures and worsening left-sided otalgia and otorrhoea of several days. The patient said he had also been experiencing...

Publication date: Available online 30 March 2019Source: Gait & PostureAuthor(s): Jade He, Kevin Lippman, Najia Shakoor, Christopher Ferrigno, Markus A WimmerAbstractBackgroundThe knee adduction moment (KAM) is a surrogate measure of mediolateral distribution of loads across the knee joint and is correlated with progression and severity of knee osteoarthritis (OA). Existing biomechanical approaches for unloading the arthritic medial knee compartment vary in their effectiveness in reducing KAM....

Jiménez Cebrián, Belén Álvarez Muñoz, Gabriel Gijón-Noguerón, José Miguel Morales-AsencioAbstractThe musculoskeletal and neurosensorial development of children can be affected by excess body weight. Studies have examined how childhood obesity affects gait, but much about the influence of this factor remains to be determined. The aim of our study is to analyse, in...

Publication date: Available online 28 March 2019Source: Gait & PostureAuthor(s): Jessica McDonnell, Kevin A. Zwetsloot, Joseph Houmard, Paul DeVitaABSTRACTBackgroundThe health benefits of running based exercise programs are plentiful however the high rate of injury in these programs often reduces or eliminates exercise participation. Skipping has shorter steps, reduced vertical ground reaction forces (GRFs), and lower knee extensor torques, compared to running forming the basis of the present...

Publication date: Available online 29 March 2019Source: Hearing ResearchAuthor(s): Jessica Yoo, Gavin M. BidelmanAbstractPrevious studies have reported better speech-in-noise (SIN) recognition in musicians than nonmusicians while others have failed to observe this "musician SIN advantage." Here, we aimed to clarify equivocal findings and determine the most relevant perceptual and cognitive factors that do and do not account for musicians' benefits in SIN processing. We measured performance in musicians...

Publication date: Available online 29 March 2019Source: Hearing ResearchAuthor(s): Xiaohan Wang, Jinhui Zhang, Guangshuai Li, Na Sai, Jiang Han, Zhiqiang Hou, Allan Kachelmeier, Xiaorui ShiAbstractCan damaged or degenerated vessels be regenerated in the ear? The question is clinically important, as disruption of cochlear blood flow is seen in a wide variety of hearing disorders, including in loud sound-induced hearing loss (endothelial injury), ageing-related hearing loss (lost vascular density),...
