    Abstract Cochlear implantation is a safe, popular procedure for severe hearing loss in both children and adults. Complications are categorized as major and minor, with hematomas and seromas being minor. This article discusses advanced diagnosis and treatment for three patients with post-implantation hematomas (two early, one late).

    Abstract Alzheimer's Disease (AD) is believed to be the most common type of dementia. Even though screening for AD has been discussed widely, there is no screening program implemented as part of a policy in any country. Current medical research motivates focusing on the preclinical stages of the disease in a modeling initiative. We develop a partially observable Markov decision process model to determine optimal screening programs. The model contains disease free and preclinical AD partially observable states and the screening decision is taken while an individual is in one of those states. An observable diagnosed preclinical AD state is integrated along with observable mild cognitive impairment, AD and death states. Transition probabilities among states are estimated using data from Knight Alzheimer's Disease Research Center (KADRC) and relevant literature. With an objective of maximizing expected total quality-adjusted life years (QALYs), the output of the model is an optimal screening program that specifies at what points in time an individual over 50 years of age with a given risk of AD will be directed to undergo screening. The screening test used to diagnose preclinical AD has a positive disutility, is imperfect and its sensitivity and specificity are estimated using the KADRC data set. We study the impact of a potential intervention with a parameterized effectiveness and disutility on model outcomes for three different risk profiles (low, medium and high). When intervention effectiveness and disutility are at their best, the optimal screening policy is to screen every year between ages 50 and 95, with an overall QALY gain of 0.94, 1.9 and 2.9 for low, medium and high risk profiles, respectively. As intervention effectiveness diminishes and/or its disutility increases, the optimal policy changes to sporadic screening and then to never screening. Under several scenarios, some screening within the time horizon is optimal from a QALY perspective. Moreover, an in-depth analysis of costs reveals that implementing these policies are either cost-saving or cost-effective.

    Abstract Purpose: This study sought to investigate whether asprosin can be used in the diagnosis of GDM or for diagnostic purposes in high-risk pregnancies, along with a review of other parameters that may be associated with serum asprosin levels.
    Patients and methods: The study investigated the association between gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) and asprosin levels. A total of 93 participants; 30 patients with GDM, 33 healthy pregnant women with normal glucose tolerance (NGT), and 30 healthy non-diabetic women (control group) at the Endocrinology and Metabolic Diseases outpatient clinic of a tertiary care university hospital were enrolled in the study. Patients with GDM and NGT were examined in terms of GDM between the 24th and 28th week of pregnancy (2nd trimester). Patient data were collected during routine examinations, and asprosin levels were measured using the ELISA method. All participants underwent testing for measurements of serum hemoglobin, insulin, C-peptide, fasting plasma glucose, and glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) levels following a fasting period of at least eight hours.
    Results: Asprosin levels were higher in pregnant women with NGT and with GDM versus controls (Control-NGT asprosin,
    Conclusion: Serum asprosin levels can potentially be used as a marker in the diagnosis of GDM.

    Abstract A growing body of literature indicates that smell and taste impairment has frequently occurred during the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS)-like Coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) outbreak. Experimental studies have mostly found that non-neural-type cells are responsible for SARS-CoV-2-related taste and smell impairment. If this is the case, smell/taste impairment needs to recover early. Literature data from clinical studies indicated a strong correlation between experimental and clinical findings. This article presents clinical studies related to SARS-CoV-2-induced smell/taste impairment that reported recovery rates. Experimental researchers may use these data to observe the dynamics of smell impairment and implement these findings in their research (e.g., correct timing of sampling) to perform further studies.

    Abstract Biphenotypic sinonasal sarcoma (BSNS), which has been described in the recent years, is a low-grade spindle cell sinonasal sarcoma characterized by rare neural and myogenic features. It has a slow growth pattern; does not metastasize, but local recurrences are common after surgery. Non-specificity of examination findings and symptoms and similarities of its histopathological features with other spindle cell sarcomas, neural tumors, and skeletal muscle-derived tumors involving the nasal cavity make the diagnosis difficult. Therefore, histopathological features should be evaluated together with immunophenotyping and molecular studies for differential diagnosis. There are very few BSNS cases or case series in the literature. In this report, we reported our clinical approach to a case with BSNS in the right nasal cavity and the histopathological features of the disease in the light of the current literature.
