A 34-year-old woman had a history of 3 miscarriages and presented with symptoms of an unproductive cough and rising serum beta-human chorionic gonadotropin (b-hCG) levels. There were no gynaecological symptoms. A diagnosis of Choriocarcinoma with pulmonary metastasis was made. In Pakistan, the incidence of Choriocarcinoma remains exceedingly rare, accounting for less than 0.3% of all gynaecologic tumours. Though rare, if managed appropriately, it has a reasonably good prognosis, as demonstrated by the outcome of the current case.

Carolyn J Herbert David B Pisoni William G Kronenberger Rick F Nelson

Am J Audiol 2022 Aug 9:1-15. Epub 2022 Aug 9.

DeVault Otologic Research Laboratory, Department of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery, Indiana University School of Medicine, Indianapolis.

Purpose: Individual differences and variability in outcomes following cochlear implantation (CI) in patients with hearing loss remain significant unresolved clinical problems. Case reports of specific individuals allow for detailed examination of the information processing mechanisms underlying variability in outcomes. Two adults who displayed exceptionally good postoperative CI outcomes shortly after activation were administered a novel battery of auditory, speech recognition, and neurocognitive processing tests.
