Noise exposure in healthcare workers

Medicine Science, 2023
The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of noise in hospitals on healthcare workers, to develop recommendations for reducing noise in hospitals and to show why healthcare workers should be protected from noise exposure in hospitals.

Frequency overlap between electric and acoustic stimulation and speech-perception benefit in patients with combined electric and acoustic stimulation

, 2010
OBJECTIVES: Our aim was to assess, for patients with a cochlear implant in one ear and low-frequency acoustic hearing in the contralateral ear, whether reducing the overlap in frequencies conveyed in the acoustic signal and those analyzed by the cochlear

Karl Popper and the Mechanisms of Hydrogen Embrittlement

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Representation of the beginning of loss of ductility rather than embrittlement. Small concentrations of hydrogen in a diffusible form within iron are well‐established to harm the mechanical integrity of steels. There are theories that attempt to explain the pernicious role of hydrogen.

Spindle‐targeted acoustic stimulation may stabilize an ongoing nap

, 2022
There have been numerous attempts over the decades to introduce closed-loop feedback to induce sleep oscillations. Recently, our group also introduced closed-loop acoustic feedback to the sleep spindle and reported improved procedural memory ...

Shaping Matter with Acoustic Waves: From Particles to Functional Structures

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Acoustic‐directed assembly is reviewed as a materials‐oriented strategy for organizing particles, polymers, metals, and biological systems into functional structures. The review distinguishes reversible manipulation from permanent structure formation through medium fixation, particle fixation, and in situ material generation, highlighting routes toward

Electric-Acoustic Stimulation Outcomes in Children

Ear & Hearing, 2018
Objectives: This study investigates outcomes in children fit with electric-acoustic stimulation (EAS) and addresses three main questions: (1) Are outcomes with EAS superior to outcomes with conventional electric-only stimulation in children?

Atomic Dislocations and Bond Rupture Govern Dissolution Enhancement under Acoustic Stimulation

, 2020
By focusing the power of sound, acoustic stimulation (i.e., often referred to as sonication) enables numerous green chemistry pathways to enhance chemical reaction rates, for instance, of mineral dissolution in aqueous environments.

A partial hearing animal model for chronic electro-acoustic stimulation [PDF]

, 2014
OBJECTIVE: Cochlear implants (CIs) have provided some auditory function to hundreds of thousands of people around the world. Although traditionally carried out only in profoundly deaf patients, the eligibility criteria for implantation have recently been

Neurobehavioral changes in response to trauma-like and contextual anxiety in zebrafish (Danio rerio): the modulatory influence of music

Frontiers in Fish Science
IntroductionExposure to acute stress events, trauma, and intense anxiety can cause cognitive and memory deficits. This study investigated whether exposure to structured acoustic stimulation (classical music) modulates stress-induced cognitive impairments

Mechanical Affective Touch Therapy for Anxiety Disorders: Feasibility, Clinical Outcomes, and Electroencephalography Biomarkers From an Open-Label Trial

Frontiers in Psychiatry, 2022
BackgroundMost external peripheral nerve stimulation devices designed to alter mood states use electrical energy, but mechanical stimulation for activation of somatosensory pathways may be harnessed for potential therapeutic neuromodulation.
