Study could help surgeons choose best approaches for hearing preservation in cochlear implant patients

Cochlear implants that have electrodes designed without wire perform better than those with wires for long-term hearing preservation, a Mount Sinai researcher has reported in a first-of-its-kind study.

Complete DNA sequencing should not be feared according to researchers

It is now much easier than before to do a complete DNA sequencing of patients to look at all the three billion letters that make up a person’s genetic code or genome. DNA sequencing prices have fallen and it could soon be a part of routine medical tests experts suggest. However there is public fear associated with complete sequencing. Researchers looked at the fact if this fear was actually justified.
