The bionic sense organs [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
The Bionic Ear is properly called a cochlear implant. It is an artificial hearing tool which stimulates nerves, using electricity, in the inner ear. The Bionic Ear helps a deaf person to hear another person speak.

The petrotympanic canal (Huguier canal): Evolutionary, anatomical, and medical perspectives

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The petrotympanic canal, traditionally referred to as Civinini's or Huguier's canal, represents an anatomical passage connecting the middle ear and temporomandibular joint (TMJ). Despite its early description, its structural complexity and functional significance have often been underestimated. In this study, we combined historical, anatomical,

Adenovirus Vectors Target Several Cell Subtypes of Mammalian Inner Ear In Vivo

open access: yesNeural Plasticity, 2016
Mammalian inner ear harbors diverse cell types that are essential for hearing and balance. Adenovirus is one of the major vectors to deliver genes into the inner ear for functional studies and hair cell regeneration.

Oldest well‐preserved euprimate petrosal, from the early Eocene of India (Vastan Lignite Mine, Gujarat)

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract An exquisitely preserved, isolated partial petrosal with associated fragmentary stapes is described from the Vastan Lignite Mine (Gujarat, India), dated to the early Eocene (~54.5 Ma). Several anatomical traits (e.g., large petrosal plate; posterolateral entry of the internal carotid artery to the tympanic cavity; bony tubes surrounding the ...

Rational Design of Inner Ear Drug Delivery Systems

open access: yesAdvanced Science
The number of people with hearing loss disorders is enormous, causing great physical and mental stress to patients, as well as a huge social burden. Among these patients, hearing loss caused by inner ear lesions accounts for a large proportion. Therefore,

Clade‐wide morphological and functional variation of the sauropsid columella

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The columella (=stapes) is the middle ear bone of reptiles that transmits vibrations from the environment to the inner ear. It has been shown to exhibit extensive interspecific morphological disparity in several clades; however, its morphological variation and associated functional consequences remain poorly described.

Interval Timing Is Altered in Male Nrxn1+/− Mice: A Model of Autism Spectrum Disorder

open access: yesAutism Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is characterized by impaired social interactions and communication, and increased repetitive and stereotypical behavior. Neuroimaging shows functional abnormalities in brain areas involved in temporal processing in autistic individuals, and they also show deficits in interval timing.

Progressive hearing loss in Fabry's disease: a case report [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Fabry's disease is a chromosomal X-linked inherited disease, which causes a lack of the lysosomal alpha-galactosidase A enzyme leading to a cellular accumulation of glycosphingolipids.

Radial capacity and hemodynamics evaluation in vitro and implantable feasibility validation in vivo of thinner bioresorbable polymer vascular stents

open access: yesBMEMat, EarlyView.
A series of in vitro experiments, numerical simulations and in vivo experiments were conducted to jointly evaluate the effects of different thicknesses of bioabsorbable polymer vascular stents on their radial capacity, hemodynamics and in vivo outcomes.

A Business Framework for Product Take‐Back—A Structured Multiple‐Case Analysis

open access: yesBusiness Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The potential of take‐back systems remains largely unrealized as initiatives have proven difficult to implement in practice. The question is why we do not see more take‐back systems given the substantial environmental benefits. We try to understand the challenges and stumbling blocks in setting up take‐back from a business perspective.
