1. Potential effects of lowering the threshold of statistical significance in the field of chronic rhinosinusitis - A meta-research on published randomized controlled trials over last decade
Abstract Objective: To evaluate the impact of change in p-value threshold from 0.05 to 0.005, on published Randomized Controlled Trials (RCTs) over the last ten years in the field of chronic rhinosinusitis. Methods: A search of the PubMed database from 1st January 2011 to 31st December 2020 was conducted to include all RCTs that used p-value to determine t

2. Learning Curve in Left Ventricular Assist Device Implantation: Low Volumes Do Not Equate Bad Outcomes
ABSTRACT Introduction: Most implantations of left ventricular assist devices (LVAD) are performed in low-volume centers. This study aimed to evaluate the procedural learning curve of HeartMate II (HM2) implantations by comparing outcomes between two time periods in a low-volume center. Methods: All 51 consecutive patients undergoing HM2 implantation betwee

7. Evaluation of the Electrically-Evoked Stapedial Reflex Threshold in Pediatric Cochlear Implant Users with High-Frequency Probe Tones
Abstract Introduction Measurement of the electrically-evoked stapedial reflex threshold (ESRT) is an objective tool used to set the comfort levels in pediatric cochlear implant (PCI) users. The levels of ESRT have a strong correlation with comfort levels. However, the clinical utility of ESRT is limited because the ESRT response is not observed in all cochl

8. Reconstruction of the Long Process of the Incus by Use of Glass Ionomer Cement: Our Experience
Abstract Introduction Chronic suppurative otitis media is one of the most common causes of reversible conductive hearing loss which can lead to necrosis of the ossicles. The incus, especially its long process, is the most common ossicle affected. Objectives The present study aims to assess the use of glass ionomer cement for the reconstruction of the long

9. The circadian timing of noise exposure influences noise-induced inflammatory responses in the mouse cochlea
Abstract Introduction: Noise-induced hearing loss is one of the most common forms of sensorineural hearing loss. Nevertheless, the mechanisms of noise-induced hearing loss are still not fully understood. Objective: To investigate the dynamics of inflammatory responses in the mammalian cochlea following noise trauma at two different times, once during the l

11. A new diagnostic approach in Alzheimer's disease: The critical flicker fusion threshold
RESUMO. A doença de Alzheimer (DA) é a causa mais comum de demência em idosos. Embora o tratamento da DA ainda seja insuficiente mesmo com todos os desenvolvimentos recentes, a detecção precoce e o tratamento no estágio inicial da doença têm demonstrado maior benefício clínico. Objetivo: Neste estudo, nosso objetivo foi usar o teste Critical Flick
