Abstract
BACKGROUND Despite the proven audiological benefits of Percutaneous Bone Anchored Hearing Aids (BAHAs) in paediatric patients with conductive or mixed hearing loss, their adoption has been limited due to concerns over implant failure and associated complications. This paper conducts a systematic review and meta-analysis to assess the prevalence of implant failure in paediatric populations, combined with a case series from our tertiary referral centre. METHODS A comprehensive literature search identified 562 articles, from which 34 were included in the review, covering 1599 implants in 1285 patients. Our retrospective case series included consecutive patients from our tertiary referral centre who underwent percutaneous BAHA implantation from 2003-2019. RESULTS Meta-analysis revealed an overall implant failure rate of 11%, predominantly attributed to traumatic extrusion. Our retrospective case series comprised 104 implantations in 76 patients, with a 4.8% failure rate. DISCUSSION Factors contributing to the lower-than-expected failure rates in the case series likely included consistent use of 4 mm fixtures from a single manufacturer and older age at implantation. The study underscores the need for standardised reporting formats in bone conduction implants research, given the systematic review's limitations in study design heterogeneity, especially with the expected rise in the adoption of novel active devices.

Alterations in intestinal microbiota and metabolites in individuals with Down syndrome and their correlation with inflammation and behavior disorders in mice. Front Microbiol 2023; 14:1016872. [PMID: 36910172 PMCID: PMC9998045 DOI: 10.3389/fmicb.2023.1016872] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/11/2022] [Accepted: 02/06/2023] [Indexed: 02/25/2023] Open
Abstract
The intestinal microbiota and fecal metabolome have been shown to play a vital role in human health, and can be affected by genetic and environmental factors. We found that individuals with Down syndrome (DS) had abnormal serum cytokine levels indicative of a pro-inflammatory environment. We investigated whether these individuals also had alterations in the intestinal microbiome. High-throughput sequencing of bacterial 16S rRNA gene in fecal samples from 17 individuals with DS and 23 non-DS volunteers revealed a significantly higher abundance of Prevotella, Escherichia/Shigella, Catenibacterium, and Allisonella in individuals with DS, which was positively associated with the levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines. GC-TOF-MS-based fecal metabolomics identified 35 biomarkers (21 up-regulated metabolites and 14 down-regulated metabolites) that were altered in the microbiome of individuals with DS. Metabolic pathway enrichment analyses of these biomarkers showed a characteristic pattern in DS that included changes in valine, leucine, and isoleucine biosynthesis and degradation; synthesis and degradation of ketone bodies; glyoxylate and dicarboxylate metabolism; tyrosine metabolism; lysine degradation; and the citrate cycle. Treatment of mice with fecal bacteria from individuals with DS or Prevotella copri significantly altered behaviors often seen in individuals with DS, such as depression-associated behavior and impairment of motor function. These studies suggest that changes in intestinal microbiota and the fecal metabolome are correlated with chronic inflammation and behavior disorders associated with DS.
