¿Hacia el cribado auditivo en adultos?
En los años noventa, la comunidad médica dio un paso decisivo al establecer el cribado auditivo neonatal universal como estándar. Esto supuso un cambio de paradigma: ya no era suficiente identificar a los recién nacidos con factores de riesgo de hipoacusia. La mitad de los recién nacidos con problemas auditivos no eran identificados precózmente yContinue reading “¿Hacia el cribado auditivo en adultos?”

Praeparation is everything
“Praeparation” is the Latin root of the English word “preparation.” It comes from “praeparatio,” which is derived from “praeparare” (to make ready or prepare). So, “praeparation” literally means “the act of making ready beforehand.” Preparation is especially required in fields emphasizing readiness, training, or discipline, like sports, but also in Surgery.
Clutches
How Do Clutches Work in the da Vinci Surgical System? In our Dissection Manual: An Introduction to Robotics in Head & Neck Surgery, there is a chapter entitled “Driving the da Vinci.” Why drive? Is it really like driving … a car? Let’s dive into a bit of electro-mechanics. I often joke during our trainingContinue reading “Clutches”
