The revolution in genetics in the past decades has enabled identification of many of the genes associated with human hereditary diseases, and hearing loss is no exception. These discoveries have a profound impact on knowledge about inner ear function and the pathology caused by mutations in these genes, which becomes clinically and socially relevant because a significant proportion of hearing l...

At a time in which medical costs are straining the economic welfare of our country, do we need another new technology to diagnose and treat diseases? To answer that question we must explore any shortcomings of our present system and assess the benefits that we might hope to derive from the costs of another layer of expensive technology. If our longevity and quality of life can be significantly ...

Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is a key endoscopy skill used to diagnose and treat pancreatobiliary diseases. However, its diagnostic use is decreasing in favor of other less invasive methods such as magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography and endoscopic ultrasound. Alternatively, its use has become more important in the therapeutic area. ERCP trainees must know the a...

BACKGROUND As an extremely rare subtype of sarcoidosis that develops exclusively in the nervous system, isolated neurosarcoidosis is difficult to diagnose. In addition, its exact clinical features are not known. CASE DESCRIPTION A 61-year-old man presented with right ear hearing loss, diplopia, and fever. Computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging revealed mass lesions in the rig...

Breast is a typical female sexual physiologic organ that is influenced by steroid hormone from menarche until menopause. Therefore various diseases can be developed by continuous action of estrogen and progesterone. Breast diseases are mainly categorized as benign and malignant. It is very important to distinguish the malignancy from breast diseases. However, it is very difficult to diagnose ma...

Diagnosing cardiovascular system (CVS) diseases from clinically measured data is difficult, due to the complexity of the hemodynamic and autonomic nervous system (ANS) interactions. Physiological models could describe these interactions to enable simulation of a variety of diseases, and could be combined with parameter estimation algorithms to help clinicians diagnose CVS dysfunctions. This pap...
