Ear Surgery and Otitis Media

Differentiating Causes of Post-Surgical Conductive Hearing Loss with Optical Coherence Tomography Vibrometry

This study uses OCT vibrometry to differentiate post-surgical conductive hearing loss causes in a cadaveric model, achieving high accuracy in distinguishing effusion, soft-tissue fixation, and prosthesis disconnection.

Development and In Vivo Evaluation of a Novel Bioabsorbable Polylactic Acid Middle Ear Ventilation Tube

This paper develops and evaluates a bioabsorbable PLA middle ear ventilation tube, showing good biocompatibility and no adverse effects on hearing in a guinea pig model.

From Simulations to Inference: Using Machine Learning to Tune Patient-Specific Finite-Element Models of the Middle Ear Towards Objective Diagnosis

This paper uses simulation-based inference to tune a finite-element model of the middle ear, providing probability distributions of parameters that reproduce experimental data and enabling objective diagnosis of hearing loss.

Whole exome sequencing study identifies candidate loss of function variants and locus heterogeneity in familial cholesteatoma

The transcriptional landscape of the murine middle ear epithelium in vitro

The paper describes the transcriptional changes in murine middle ear epithelial cells during in vitro differentiation, identifying differentially expressed genes and their association with ciliogenesis.
