New non‐contrast MRI of endolymphatic hydrops in Ménière's disease considering inversion time
Laryngoscope Investigative OtolaryngologyObjectives Three‐tesla MRI with gadolinium‐based contrast agents is important in diagnosing Ménière's disease. However, contrast agents cannot be used in some patients.

Sulfur isotopes in otoliths allow discrimination of anadromous and non-anadromous ecotypes of sockeye salmon (Oncorhynchus nerka) [PDF]
, 2010 Oncorhynchus nerka occur both as anadromous sockeye salmon that spend most of their life in the ocean, and as non-anadromous kokanee salmon that remain in fresh water their entire lives.

Three-Dimensional Computer Model of Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo in the Semi-Circular Canal
EAI Endorsed Transactions on Pervasive Health and Technology, 2018 Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV) is the most common vestibular disorder. In this paper we tried to investigate a model of the semi-circular canal (SCC) with parametrically defined dimension and full 3D three SCC from patient-specific 3D ...

Strial capillary permeability studied with fluorescent tracers in inbred mice [PDF]
, 2015 The stria vascularis generates the endocochlear potential (EP), which relies on the maintenance of ionic boundaries. Strial and spiral ligament capillary permeability to FITC-conjugated dextrans and other tracers was assessed in mice of different strains,

Contribution of active hair-bundle motility to nonlinear amplification in the mammalian cochlea [PDF]
, 2012 The cochlea’s high sensitivity stems from the active process of outer hair cells, which possess two force-generating mechanisms: active hair-bundle motility elicited by Ca(2+) influx and somatic motility mediated by the voltage-sensitive protein prestin.

Pressure difference between perilymph and endolymph
Equilibrium Research, 1988 Endolymphatic and perilymphatic pressures were measured simultaneously with two sets of a servo-nulling system in guinea pigs. This method seems to reveal pressure relationships between the perilymph and the endolymph in excellent detail, because the servo-nulling system is the most suitable equipment for studying the pressure of inner ear fluid and ...
