Cognitive function and retinal biomarkers as novel approach to diagnosing and assessing autism spectrum disorder by Sarah Al-Mazidi, Abdulrahman Alhowikan, Nadra Elamin, Amani Abualnaja, Ahmad Al-Mnaizel, Turki Alharbi, Laila Al-Ayadhi

“…Since this correlation was not previously tested in autism spectrum disorder (ASD), we aim to provide evidence for a correlation between retinal dysfunction and cognitive impairment in ASD children through previously reported retina and cognitive dysfunction biomarkers. 80 children were recruited to test biomarkers of the retinal function, Ciliary neurotrophic factor (CNTF), and cognitive function A Disintegrin and Metalloproteases 10 (ADAM10). …”

Long-Term Impact of Recurrent Acute Otitis Media on Balance and Vestibular Function in Children by Mirko Aldè, Pietro Bosi, Stefanie Muck, Thomas Mayr, Paola Di Mauro, Valentina Berto, Beatrice Gaia Aleandri, Francesco Folino, Stefania Barozzi, Diego Zanetti, Paola Marchisio

“…Static posturography was used to assess postural instability, measuring sway area (SX, mm²) under four conditions: eyes open and eyes closed, with and without foam pads. Vestibular function was evaluated using the video head impulse test (v-HIT) to quantify vestibulo–ocular reflex (VOR) gain and corrective saccades across all six semicircular canals. …”
