Does hyaluronic acid hydrogel sustain the delivery of dexamethasone across the round window membrane?
Our results show that the Dex-HA gel used in this study provides an effective and sustained dexamethasone release mechanism that might be utilized to treat conditions such as sudden sensorineural hearing loss. This could potentially reduce the morbidity and costs associated with IT treatment.
Consistent condom use was associated with reduced BV prevalence at 6 months for women who were BV-negative at baseline, but had no effect among women who were BV-positive at baseline. Male condoms appeared to protect against BV occurrence, but not BV recurrence.
