In Situ Acoustic Monitoring of Focused Femtosecond Pulse Duration in Air
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 ...

Noise Management at Work [PDF]
Every single day millions of European workers are exposed to noise at work. One in five of European’s workers have to raise his voice to be heard for at least half of the time that there are at work and 7% suffer from work-related hearing impairment.

Predictors of knowledge, attitude and practice of noise induced hearing loss among workers in an automotive industry in Malaysia [PDF]
Introduction: Automotive workers are exposed to high level of noise as part of their daily work routine. Determining the predictors of knowledge, attitude and practice of noise induced hearing loss (NIHL) among automotive is important because it may help

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

Advances in GPCRs Associated With Wnt Signaling Within the Auditory System
ABSTRACT G protein‐coupled receptors (GPCRs) that interact with the Wnt signaling pathway are pivotal for auditory system homeostasis, as they orchestrate inner ear development, hair cell (HC) regeneration, and hearing preservation. Frizzled (FZD) receptors, the core Wnt‐related GPCRs, bind Wnt ligands and co‐receptors (e.g., LRP5/6) to activate both ...

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