Abstract	Standard round window (RW) cochlear implantation is a well-described technique. Implantation might be difficult in patients with inner and middle ear anomalies, in some cases because of not achieving adequate exposure to the RW, with a related higher risk of complications such as facial nerve injury. It is proposed a combined microscopic/endoscopic oval window approach in a 63 year old man affected by bilateral Menière disease, with bilateral severe sensorineural hearing loss, speech discrimination score for bysillabic words under 40% and a hidden RW by anomalous facial nerve course. All electrodes entered the cochlear with good freefield thresholds and auditory ability results. A partial marginalis nerve palsy occurred at the second postoperative day and completely reversed at 2 months from surgery. Endoscopicassisted oval window cochlear implantation may be a safe alternative surgical technique in cases where surgeons are not able to access RW.

Abstract	Vestibular schwannoma (VS) is a benign tumor which develops in the internal auditory canal and the cerebellopontine angle, potentially diminishing hearing or balance. Most VS tumors arise from one of two vestibular branches: the superior or inferior vestibular nerve. Determining the specific nerve of origin could improve patient management in terms of preoperative counseling, treatment selection, and surgical decision-making and planning. The aim of this study was to introduce a preoperative testing protocol with high accuracy to determine the nerve branch of origin. The nerve of origin was predicted on the basis of preoperative vestibular evoked myogenic potentials (VEMPs), caloric stimulation test, and pure tone audiometry on 26 recipients. The acquired data were entered into a statistic scoring system developed to allocate the tumor origin. Finally, the nerve of origin was definitively determined intraoperatively. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves analysis of preoperative testing data showed the possibility of predicting the branch of origin. In particular, ROC curve of combined VEMPs absence, nystagmus detectable at caloric stimulation, and PTA < 75 dB HL allowed to obtain high accuracy for inferior vestibular nerve implant of the tumor (area under the curve-AUC = 0.8788, p = 0.012). In 24 of 26 cases, the preoperatively predicted tumor origin was the same as the origin determined during surgery. Preoperative audiological and vestibular evaluation can predict the vestibular tumor branch of origin with high accuracy. Despite the necessity of larger prospective cohort studies, these findings may change preoperative approach, possible functional aspects, and counseling with the patients.

Abstract	Introduction: Bone-anchored hearing devices (BAHD) are well-known good solution for single-sided deafness (SSD). Despite power extension of recently introduced BAHD with implanted active transducer, with indications up to 65 dB Hl of bone conduction (BC) threshold on the implanted side, their indications for SSD still remain better than 25 dB on the good ear, with regards to bone conduction thresholds. The aim of this study was to assess the possibility to enlarge BAHD indications for SSD by means of a newly proposed candidacy evaluation protocol, which includes a new software-aided method. Methods: 20 SSD patients (mean age 56 years, 9 females, and 11 males) were divided into two groups: group A (10 patients, BC <25 dB Hl on the hearing side) and group B (10 patients, BC between 25 and 35 dB Hl). Recipients were submitted to bisyllabic words speech audiometry in silence and to authors' newly proposed IFastSRT50 test by means of software which shift noise intensity of a single word list on the basis of correct recipient recognition responses. A sound speaker for signal (bisyllabic words) and noise (babble) was disposed at 1 m from the deaf side of the patient. An earphone covering only the good ear of the recipient was used in order to perform its air conduction masking with white noise. A BAHD test device was disposed on the mastoid of the deaf side. Both signal and masking intensities were set to 55 dB SPL in order to mask airway conduction on the good ear without masking its bone way interaural conduction from the BAHD tester. Results: With BAHD tester turned off, no recognition was detected. Speech audiometry with BAHD tester turned on revealed mean values of 92% for group A and 89% for group B, with a difference of 3.0% (χ2 = 0.285 and p = 0.5935). As for IFastSRT50 with BAHD tester turned on, mean signal-to-noise ratio value to obtain 50% of recognition was -6.89 for group A and -6, with a difference of 0.89 (t = 1,201 and p = 0.2453). Conclusion: BAHD are confirmed to be a good solution for SSD cases. The absence of statistically significant differences in our two tested groups suggests that newer implanted active transducer device indications should be extended up to 35 dB Hl on the hearing ear. The IFastSRT50 is a reliable and quick method to enhance preoperative candidacy evaluation.

Abstract	Introduction: Purpose of our study is to compare two competing methods of performing bisyllabic words speech audiometry for the detection of the 50% speech reception threshold in noise (SRT50). Methods: Classic method is performed submitting multiple words lists at fixed signal to noise ratio. A newer Fast method - Italian Fast Speech Reception Threshold 50 (IFastSRT50) - is performed by means of a program software with a single list of bisyllabic words and noise intensity shifting. Results: Means comparison between SRT50 Classic and IFastSRT50 shows a slight significant correlation (r=0.263; p=0.044) and a wide significant difference: SRT50 Classic=-2.763dB (SD=4.1) and IFastSRT50=-7.803dB (SD=2.1) (P < 0.0001). There is high difference between test execution time means (SRT50 Classic=11min, IFastSRT50 =2min; P < 0.0001). Correlation between test results and execution times was higher in for SRT50 Classic than IFastSRT50. Conclusion: IFastSRT50 test is a reliable method to quickly investigate signal to noise ratio needed to obtain 50% of recognition scores with bisyllabic words, it allows less execution time than SRT50 Classic method and can avoid patients fatigue and other limitations of different speech discrimination tests in noise as sentences based ones.

Abstract	BackgroundThis present survey sought to investigate the level of knowledge and the attitudes pertaining the monkeypox (mpox) virus infection among a sample of health care workers (HCWs) in Italy, as well as the possible role of different factors on these outcomes.MethodsThe cross-sectional survey was performed from July through October, 2022 at four randomly selected hospitals located in Southern Italy.ResultsThe questionnaire was completed by 421 HCWs, for an overall 59% response rate. Less than two-thirds were able to define the disease and the correct answer of the transmission mechanisms ranged from 22.8% for contact with contaminated objects to 75.8% through close contact with body fluids. Only 4% and 12.8% indicated HCWs and elderly/frail/people with underlying immune deficiencies as risk groups. The mean overall score of the knowledge assessment on mpox was 3.4 (0–9). The multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that HCWs with a lower number of years of working experience and those who had acquired information about mpox from scientific journals were more likely to have a higher level of knowledge. The average score of the perception of the severity of the disease was 6.3. A similar score with a value of 6.1 has been observed for the statement that mpox is a serious problem for the population. Regarding the level of concern about contracting mpox, the mean score was 5.1. Only 10.5% reported that they feel that this disease can be prevented, with an overall mean score of 6.5. Almost all HCWs reported that they are still living as usual, with no modification of their behavior for fear of contracting the mpox. The results of the multivariate logistic regression model showed that women, HCWs with a higher level of knowledge about mpox, and those who needed additional information about mpox were more likely to have a higher level of perception of the severity of the disease.ConclusionThis survey has demonstrated that HCWs had an unsatisfactory level of knowledge toward mpox and only nearly half showed ...

Abstract	BackgroundThe coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is evolving,the newly emerged Omicron variant being the dominant strain worldwide, and this has raised concerns about vaccine efficacy. The purposes of this survey were to examine the extent to which healthcare workers (HCWs) intend to receive a second booster dose of the COVID-19 vaccine and the factors that influence their willingness to accept it.MethodsThe study was conducted among HCWs who were randomly selected from four public hospitals in the Campania region, Southern Italy.ResultsA total of 496 HCWs answered the questionnaire (a response rate of 61.2%). Among the respondents, 20.8% indicated a score of 10, using a 10-point Likert-type scale, regarding the usefulness of a second COVID-19 vaccine booster dose. Physicians, HCWs who believed that COVID-19 was a severe disease, and those who have acquired information about the second booster dose from scientific journals were more likely to have this positive attitude. Slightly more than half of HCWs self-reported willingness to receive a second booster dose. Respondents who believe that HCWs are at higher risk of being infected by SARS-CoV-2, those who have a higher belief that COVID-19 is a severe disease, and those who have a higher belief that a second booster dose is useful were more willing to receive a second booster dose. The main reasons for those who had a positive intention were to protect their family members and patients, whereas, the main reasons for not getting vaccinated or for uncertainty were that the dose does not offer protection against the emerging variants and the fear of its side effects. HCWs of younger age, physicians, those who have a higher belief that a second booster dose is useful, and those who were willing to receive a second booster dose were more likely to recommend the booster dose to their patients.ConclusionThis study's findings highlight the necessity for designing and implementing ...
