ELECTRICAL STIMULATION OF THE EAR: A LONG HISTORY STARTING INTHE EIGHTEENTH CENTURY

, 2011
The cochlear implant (bionic ear) is a device that bypasses a nonfunctional inner ear and stimulates the hearing nerves with patterns of electrical currents so that speech and sounds can be perceived by profoundly deaf people.

Secretopathies emerge as a new class of neurocristopathies

Developmental Dynamics, EarlyView.
Abstract Neural crest cells are a transient embryonic population of cells that give rise to a wide range of structures, including craniofacial cartilage and bone, peripheral neurons and glia, as well as components of the cardiac outflow tract, among others.

Magnitude, Patterns and Factors Associated With Sensorineural Hearing Loss Among Hypertensive Adults at a Tertiary Hospital in Northern Tanzania

Eye &ENT Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Hearing loss affects 1.5 billion people globally, with sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) linked to hypertension. Hypertension affects 1.39 billion people worldwide and its prevalence is rising sharply in Sub‐Saharan Africa. While 12% of Tanzanian population has cardiovascular diseases, including hypertension and recent studies ...

Lipidic nanocapsule drug delivery : neuronal protection for cochlear implant optimization

, 2012
Objective: Sensorineural hearing loss leads to the progressive degeneration of spiral ganglion cells (SGC). Next to postoperative fibrous tissue growth, which should be suppressed to assure a close nerve–electrode interaction, the density of healthy SGC ...

Epilepsy surgery: From bench to the clinics

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Recent advances in epilepsy surgery in patients with intractable epilepsy make it possible to study the mechanism of epilepsy in human brains. However, the true extent and propagation of each epileptogenic area from the epileptogenic focus in each patient is still difficult to perform “epilepsy cure” by surgery.

Topical treatment of equine aural plaques with nitric acid and zinc solution

Equine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Equine aural plaque caused by equine papilloma viruses is common worldwide and affected horses can show severe clinical signs. Due to its viral aetiology, in some countries affected horses are not allowed to compete. Since lesions persist, showing no spontaneous regression, effective and safe treatment is required.

Brain–Computer Interfaces: The Dawn of a New Era in Disease Treatment

Exploration, EarlyView.
This study investigates the potential of brain–computer interface (BCI) technology in treating neuropsychiatric disorders, such as movement and communication barriers. Our review examines the history, signal paradigms, and diverse applications of BCI while also discussing ongoing research into novel materials and emerging technologies that offer ...
