Listeners performed two different tasks in which they remembered short sequences comprising either complex tones (generally heard as one melody) or everyday sounds (generally heard as separate objects). In one, listeners judged whether a probe item had been present in the preceding sequence. In the other, they judged whether a second sequence of the same items was identical in order to the preceding sequence. Performance on the first task was higher for everyday sounds; performance on the second was higher for complex tones...

OBJECTIVES: The objectives were to present the real-time estimated values of cochlear implant (CI) electrode insertion speed (IS) during intraoperative sessions using the Cochlear Nucleus SmartNav System to assess whether this measure affected CI outcomes and to determine whether real-time feedback assists expert surgeons in achieving slow insertion. METHODS: The IS was measured in 52 consecutive patients (65 implanted ears) using the CI632 electrode. The IS values were analyzed in relation to procedure repetition over time, NRT ratio, and CI audiological outcomes...

BACKGROUND: Due to the importance of sudden sensorineural hearing loss (SSNHL) and the possible role of blood coagulation in its mechanism and the likely therapeutic effect of anticoagulants and also the lack of studies in this field, this study aimed to evaluate the effect of rivaroxaban (RXA) in the treatment of this disease. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The present double-blind randomized clinical trial study was performed on 34 patients with SSNHL. Patients were randomly divided into two groups...

OBJECTIVE: To examine the prevalence of cerumen impaction in a nationally representative sample of the US population and the association of cerumen impaction with sociodemographic factors, hearing loss, and tinnitus. METHODS: The cohort included 14,230 individuals aged ≥12 years who completed otoscopy and audiometry in NHANES (2005-2016). Cerumen impaction (partial/complete) was determined by otoscopy. Hearing level was defined by speech-frequency pure-tone average (PTA)...

INTRODUCTION: Women with lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) and high-tone pelvic floor often experience pain and have positive trigger points upon pelvic floor examination. However, the correlation of these findings has not yet been systematically examined and sufficiently understood. The aim of this cross-sectional study is to examine the correlation of pelvic myofascial pain with LUTS and pelvic floor tone. MATERIALS AND METHODS: All participants filled a standardized pelvic floor questionnaire to assess LUTS, which consists of a total of 43 questions regarding bladder, bowel, and sexual function as well as prolapse symptoms...

This study provides a detailed characterization and evaluation of Claytone-EM as a rheological additive to enhance the performance of oil-based drilling fluids (OBDFs) under high-pressure, high-temperature (HPHT) conditions. It also offers a comparative evaluation of the effectiveness of Claytone-EM with an existing organoclay, analyzing their mineral and chemical compositions, morphologies, and particle sizes. A series of experiments are performed to evaluate Claytone-EM's influence on crucial drilling mud properties, such as mud density, electrical stability, sagging tendency, rheology, viscoelastic properties, and filtration properties, to formulate a stable and high-performing OBDF...

Cogan's syndrome (CS) is a rare chronic inflammatory disease, characterized by interstitial keratitis and vestibular auditory dysfunction. Hypertrophic pachymeningitis (HP) is a rare chronic aseptic inflammatory disease of the central nervous system. This article reports a patient with CS coexisting with HP. The patient was a 66-year-old male with fever, headache, red eyes, hearing loss, and significantly elevated inflammatory markers. Cerebrospinal fluid examination, blood culture, and tests for autoantibodies such as antinuclear antibodies were negative...

INTRODUCTION: High-resolution ultrasonography devices have led to the increased detection of thyroid nodules and the need for fine-needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB). However, FNAB is an invasive procedure that can cause discomfort and pain. Music therapy has been used for centuries to alleviate pain, and our clinical trial was conducted to investigate its impact on pain scores during thyroid FNAB. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We conducted a randomized, controlled clinical trial, including adult patients undergoing thyroid FNAB...

OBJECTIVE: Mitochondrial ATP-sensitive K+ (mitoKATP ) channels are involved in neuronal and cardiac protection from ischemia and oxidative stress. Penile erection is a neurovascular event mediated by relaxation of the erectile tissue via nitric oxide (NO) released from nerves and endothelium. In the present study, we investigated whether mitoKATP channels play a role in the control of penile vascular tone and mitochondrial dynamics, and the involvement of NO. METHODS: The effect of the selective mitoKATP activator BMS191095 was examined on vascular tone, on mitochondrial bioenergetics by real-time measurements with Agilent Seahorse and on ROS production by Mitosox fluorescence in freshly isolated microarteries...

While the general acoustic mechanisms that explain the development of tone in language have been understood since at least Maspero (1912. Étude Sur La Phonétique Historique de La Langue Annamite: Les Initiales. Bulletin de l'École Française d'Extrême-Orient 12. 1-126), we are still far from having a predictive theory of tonogenesis. Kurtöp, a Tibeto-Burman language of Bhutan shown to be undergoing tonogenesis, provides a rare opportunity to advance our understanding of how and why languages develop lexical tone...

OBJECTIVE: Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related death globally and provides a major disease burden likely to substantially impact quality of life (QoL). Patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) have been identified as effective methods of evaluating patient QoL. Existing lung cancer-specific PROMs however have uncertain utility and minimal patient involvement in their design and development. This qualitative study aimed to evaluate the patient perspective of existing PROMs and to explore their appropriateness for population-based descriptions of lung cancer-related QoL...

Utilizing RNAi, miRNA, siRNA, lncRNA and exploiting genotyping traits can help safeguard the food supply from illnesses and pest damage to Brassicas, as well as reduce yield losses caused by plant pathogens and insect pests. In the natural environment, plants face significant challenges in the form of biotic stress, due to various living organisms, leading to biological stress and a sharp decline in crop yields. To cope with these effects, plants have evolved specialized mechanisms to mitigate these challenges...

Background and Purpose: A sound translation is complex but necessary to provide a valid patient-reported questionnaire. The aim of this study was therefore to translate, culturally adapt, and linguistically validate the 17-item Wound-Quality of Life (Wound-QoL) questionnaire from English to Norwegian. Methods: For translation and cultural adaption of the Wound-QoL, we followed the methods described by the ISPOR-The Professional Society for Health Economics and Outcomes Research (formerly, the International Society for Pharmacoeconomics and Outcome Research), Messaging Application Programming Interface Research Institute, and recommendations from literature reviews...

The treatment of newborns with craniofacial abnormalities such as cleft lip and/or palate poses special challenges for healthcare providers. Often, the collaboration of an interdisciplinary team of pediatricians, orthodontists, and oral and maxillofacial surgeons is necessary. Therapy using feeding or stimulation plates can improve feeding and strengthen orofacial muscle tone. The treatment of patients with cleft lip and palate using conventionally manufactured feeding plates as well as the treatment of patients with reduced orofacial muscle tone through stimulation plates therapy are established and widely used methods...

Autonomic dysfunction is a prevalent feature of Parkinson's disease (PD), mediated by disease involvement of the autonomic nervous system. Chronotropic incompetence (CI) refers to inadequate increase of heart rate in response to elevated metabolic demand, partly dependent on postganglionic sympathetic tone. In a retrospective study, PD patients with/without CI were identified. We show that PD with CI was associated with a higher levodopa equivalent daily dose and Hoehn and Yahr stage, 5±2 years after motor onset...
