Cochlear implant: Speech and language development in deaf and hard of hearing children following implantation [PDF]

open access: yesVojnosanitetski Pregled, 2011
Bacground/Aim. Almost 200 cochlear implantations were done in the four centers (two in Belgrade, per one in Novi Sad and Niš) in Serbia from 2002 to 2009. Less than 10% of implantees were postlingually deaf adults. The vast majority, i.e. 90% were pre-

Characterisation of disordered auditory processing in adults who present to audiology with hearing difficulties in presence of normal hearing thresholds: Correlation between auditory tests and symptoms [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
The diagnosis of auditory processing disorder (APD) remains controversial. Quantifying symptoms in individuals with APD by using validated questionnaires may help better understand the disorder and inform appropriate diagnostic evaluation.

The heterodimeric amino acid transporters (HAT) of the SLC7/SLC3 family: A structure−function relationships and relevance to human pathology

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Heterodimeric amino acid transporters consist of SLC7 and SLC3 family proteins arranged in a conserved structural organization. They regulate nutrient transport across cell membranes, supporting essential cellular functions. These transporters also contribute to xenobiotic/drug uptake and distribution.

Soft motions encoded by the fold and mediated by conserved hinge sites drive V‐ATPase allosteric machinery and autoinhibition

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Vacuolar H+‐ATPase (V‐ATPase) is a multisubunit rotary proton pump that acidifies intracellular compartments. Using elastic network models, we identified conserved hinge residues that govern its large‐scale functional motions. We show that intrinsically encoded ‘soft modes’ drive critical functional transitions, including rotary catalysis and ...

Attitudes of cancer patients toward ctDNA‐based liquid biopsy for follow‐up

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
This mixed‐methods study explored cancer patients' experiences, knowledge, and preferences regarding ctDNA‐based liquid biopsy for follow‐up. Awareness of ctDNA was low and recall of previous liquid biopsy was imperfect, yet acceptance was high.

Test-retest reliability of real ear measurements for open canal hearing aid fittings

open access: yes, 2010
When fitting hearing aids with conventional earmoulds using real ear measurements (REM) it is recommended to use the modified pressure with concurrent equalization method whereby a reference microphone is used to monitor the REM loudspeaker output level.
