A Start Codon Variant in NOG Underlies Symphalangism and Ossicular Chain Malformations Affecting Both the Incus and the Stapes

open access: yesCase Reports in Genetics, 2019
We performed exome sequencing to evaluate the underlying molecular cause of a patient with bilateral conductive hearing loss due to multiple ossicular abnormalities as well as symphalangism of the fifth digits. This leads to the identification of a novel

Phosphate and fluoride removal options for Hanford high‐level waste sludge processing

open access: yesEnvironmental Progress &Sustainable Energy, EarlyView.
Abstract High‐phosphate and high‐fluoride sludges represent some of the most challenging waste streams within the Hanford High‐Level Waste (HLW) inventory due to solubility constraints, impacts on glass loading, and corrosion risks during vitrification.

Relationship between pathologies of bone chain and middle ear mucosa in chronic otitis media

open access: yesTurkish Archives of Otorhinolaryngology, 2010
Objectives: Chronic otitis media is an inflammatory process which causes tympanic membrane perforation, destruction of middle ear structure and loss of hearing. Most effected structure in this process is hearing bones.

Why Can\u27t Doctors Spell? [PDF]

open access: yes, 1993
The illegibility of doctors\u27 handwriting has spawned innumerable jokes. Jottings that seem illegible and unintelligible may actually be technical terms that mimic commoner words.

Structure and function of the mammalian middle ear. I: Large middle ears in small desert mammals. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Many species of small desert mammals are known to have expanded auditory bullae. The ears of gerbils and heteromyids have been well described, but much less is known about the middle ear anatomy of other desert mammals.

Seasonal Characteristics of Mesoscale Convective Systems Over the Philippines

open access: yesInternational Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
This study examines how mesoscale convective systems (MCSs) over the Philippines are most frequent during boreal summer, while those in winter are longer‐lived and more intense due to cold surges and enhanced easterly moisture transport. Intraseasonal oscillations, such as the Madden‐Julian Oscillation (MJO) and the Boreal Summer Intraseasonal ...

Morphology and function of Neandertal and modern human ear ossicles. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
The diminutive middle ear ossicles (malleus, incus, stapes) housed in the tympanic cavity of the temporal bone play an important role in audition. The few known ossicles of Neandertals are distinctly different from those of anatomically modern humans ...

Using the shortwave infrared to image middle ear pathologies [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Visualizing structures deep inside opaque biological tissues is one of the central challenges in biomedical imaging. Optical imaging with visible light provides high resolution and sensitivity; however, scattering and absorption of light by tissue limits

Reidite Formation From Zircon Subjected to 20, 40, and 60 GPa Shock Experiments

open access: yesJournal of Raman Spectroscopy, EarlyView.
Structure disordering as a result of shock pressure: In zircon shocked from 20 to 60 GPa, the shock‐induced structural disorder increases with increasing shock pressure (gray area). Shock disorder of zircon is an integral part of its transformation to reidite: Reidite occurs after amorphous material.
