ChatGPT to select patients for biologic therapies in CRSwNP?
This short communication describes programming the artificial intelligence (AI) algorithm for systematic review of current literature about guidelines on the clinical efficacy and safety of biologics in the treatment of chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP). The authors first performed...Paediatric obstructive sleep apnoea
As tonsillectomy rates for recurrent sore throats have declined, there has been increasing recognition of the importance of OSA in children. Not always diagnosed early – or in some cases at all – and with continuing debate as to how...In conversation with John Carlisle: the silent hero shaping medical publication integrity
Have you ever been curious as to what your anaesthetist is getting up to on their laptop during long cases? Me neither, but I always generally assumed they were trading Bitcoin, solving the Riemann hypothesis and buffing their Tinder profile....Branchio Oto Renal syndrome
Branchio Oto Renal Syndrome (BOR) is an autosomal dominant disorder with branchial, otologic and renal manifestations. The presence of clinical signs varies among and within affected families. Three causative genes for BOR syndrome have been reported thus far: EYA1, SIX1...Lessons from the outcomes of children with hearing loss study
The Outcomes of Children with Hearing Loss (OCHL) study of 300 children with hearing loss has targeted several factors that are under the control of audiologists and parents. Drs McCreery and Walker discuss how these ‘lessons learned’ can lead to...In conversation with John Carlisle: the silent hero shaping medical publication integrity

Is this a world record for the most people with cochlear implants at a conference? Helen Cullington, University of Southampton Auditory Implant Service. I was lucky enough to go to the first ever global conference held by the Cochlear Implant...A psychophysical perspective on single-sided deafness and its treatment by cochlear implants
Bob Carlyon gives us a psychophysical perspective on the hearing benefits that can and cannot be achieved for patients with single-sided deafness with a cochlear implant, and discusses some of the challenges in maximising the effectiveness of the treatment. He...How should we detect and identify deficit-specific auditory processing disorders?
The human central auditory nervous system (CANS) is complex and highly dependent upon attention and cognitive brain regions. Profs David Moore and Harvey Dillon discuss novel assessment approaches to clarify auditory contributions to listening difficulties in children. How can we...
