Abstract:
Despite no universally accepted definition of hearing preservation following vestibular schwannoma (VS) treatment, numerous variables have been identified as possible factors that may affect hearing outcomes following radiotherapy. Age, pretreatment hearing, radiation dose, tumor location and size, length of follow-up, fractionation, and timing of radiation have all been explored, among other variables, as factors related to hearing outcomes following radiation. These variables and associated hearing outcomes will be explored in detail, summarizing the literature to date to improve patient counseling for those patients who present with serviceable hearing and are considering their VS management options.

Physical Properties Affecting Solubility
As for any solution, the solubility of a gas in a liquid is affected by the attractive intermolecular forces between solute and solvent species. Unlike solid and liquid solutes, however, there is no solute-solute intermolecular attraction to overcome when a gaseous solute dissolves in a liquid solvent since the atoms or molecules comprising a gas are far separated and experience negligible interactions. Consequently, solute-solvent interactions are the sole...
