Otosclerosis is a process of bone remodelling in the otic capsule that associates with progressive hearing loss [1]. Cochlear implantation (CI) is a current method of rehabilitation for patients with far advanced otosclerosis, presenting profound or total hearing loss. This therapy method showed excellent speech perception benefit and enhanced quality of life similar to the other cochlear implant users...

For postlingual adults with cochlear implants (CIs), broad variability in speech recognition outcomes persists (1). Some of this variability can be explained by clinical predictors, such as duration of deafness, preimplant speech perception scores, patient age, and electrode positioning (1,2). Difficulty in recognizing speech arises in large part because CIs provide degraded spectro-temporal "bottom-up"...

Chronic urticaria is classified as chronic inducible urticaria (CIU) and chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU). Histamine, which is released from mast cells, plays a major role in the pathogenesis of CU. The binding of FcεRI and IgE subsequently...
