Objective The present study aimed to detect the behavioral problems pre- and post-cochlear implantation in comparison to normal hearing group to be able to manage these problems to get more benefit from using cochlear implants.Methods A case-control study included 53 children was done. They were divided into 2 groups, the control group included 28 healthy volunteers with normal hearing and the case group included 25 children with severe to profound hearing loss, fitted for cochlear implantation. The Arabic Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL) was used to detect different behavioral problems in both groups. Case group children were followed up and reassessed again by CBCL 3 months later after cochlear implantation.Results There were highly significant differences regarding total scores of internalizing and externalizing domains of empirically based CBCL between the control group and the case group after cochlear implants (p=0.001). There were non-significant differences in children within case group (pre- and post-cochlear implantation) regarding emotional and behavioral problems on both empirically based and Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders-based CBCL.Conclusion For better results, it is necessary to include a specialist of psychosomatic medicine in the cochlear rehabilitation teamwork.

The goal of this study to detect prevalence of different causes of persistent cervical lymphadenopathy in Beni-Suef localities. This study had been conducted at Otorhinolaryngology department and radiology department, Beni-Suef University Hospital on 100 patients suffering from cervical lymphadenopathy not responding to medical treatment for 1month or progressively increasing size of lymph node within 2 weeks in spite of medical treatment. The patients (of 1-78 years old) have done ultrasound guided tru-cut needle biopsy (89% of cases) and surgical excisional biopsy (11%). The results were 55% malignancy, 28% reactive cause, 8% TB, 3% granuloma and 6% other causes as SLE and pleomorphic adenoma.
