Long-Term Impact of Recurrent Acute Otitis Media on Balance and Vestibular Function in Children by Mirko Aldè, Pietro Bosi, Stefanie Muck, Thomas Mayr, Paola Di Mauro, Valentina Berto, Beatrice Gaia Aleandri, Francesco Folino, Stefania Barozzi, Diego Zanetti, Paola Marchisio

“…Static posturography was used to assess postural instability, measuring sway area (SX, mm²) under four conditions: eyes open and eyes closed, with and without foam pads. Vestibular function was evaluated using the video head impulse test (v-HIT) to quantify vestibulo–ocular reflex (VOR) gain and corrective saccades across all six semicircular canals. …”

Designing novel “Smell-Aids” to improve olfactory function in post COVID-19 era by Veronica L. Formanek, Barak M. Spector, Gabriela Zappitelli, Zhenxing Wu, Kai Zhao

“…Methods We attempt to invent “Smell-Aids” by non-invasively enhancing intranasal odorant delivery to the olfactory epithelium, using two prototypes: (a) a nasal foam plug with a diagonal channel embedded to direct air/odor flow upwards to the olfactory region; (b) a clip (similar to what synchronized swimmers use) pinching a critical nasal valve region that may intensify the nasal airflow vortex to the olfactory region. Results We first tested these prototypes in counter-balanced orders on 58 healthy subjects, where their measured odor detection thresholds to phenylethyl alcohol significantly improved with both prototypes in subjects with normal smell function (baseline: 8–16.5, n = 30, 12.49 ± 2.8, plug: 14.42 ± 4.9, pinch: 14.73 ± 5.4, p < 0.05), but not in subjects with “super” sensitivity at baseline (> 16.5, n = 28). …”
