Prevalence of Noise-Induced Hearing Loss Among Tanzanian Iron and Steel Workers: A Cross-Sectional Study

open access: yesInternational Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, 2019
Iron and steel factory workers in Tanzania are likely to develop noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL) due to exposure to high sound levels. Studies on hearing status in this population are lacking. The aims of this study were to determine prevalence of NIHL

In Situ Acoustic Monitoring of Focused Femtosecond Pulse Duration in Air

open access: yesLaser &Photonics Reviews, EarlyView.
Air‐breakdown acoustics at the laser focus is used to determine femtosecond pulse duration with a simple USB microphone. By chirp‐tuning and compressing 1030 nm pulses from 241 to 50 fs, the acoustic amplitude scales inversely proportional to the square root of the pulse duration, enabling in situ readout over 50 fs–5 ps—crucial for precise pulse ...

Mechanisms of sensorineural cell damage, death and survival in the cochlea. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
The majority of acquired hearing loss, including presbycusis, is caused by irreversible damage to the sensorineural tissues of the cochlea. This article reviews the intracellular mechanisms that contribute to sensorineural damage in the cochlea, as well ...

Targeting Inflammatory Processes Mediated by TRPVI and TNF-α for Treating Noise-Induced Hearing Loss

open access: yesFrontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2019
Noise trauma is the most common cause of hearing loss in adults. There are no known FDA approved drugs for prevention or rescue of noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL).

Aberrant Beta‐Band Network Alteration Preceding Freezing of Gait in Parkinson's Disease

open access: yesMovement Disorders, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Freezing of gait (FOG) is a debilitating motor symptom observed in the advanced stages of Parkinson's disease (PD), characterized by an abrupt inability to initiate or continue forward walking. Whole‐brain functional connectivity analysis has shown promise in elucidating the underlying pathophysiology and identifying potential ...
