Improved Bone Conduction and Hearing Outcomes After Stapes Surgery for Otosclerosis
ABSTRACT Objective To evaluate the improvement in bone conduction (BC) thresholds after stapes surgery for otosclerosis, compare the outcomes of surgical techniques, and analyze the short‐ and long‐term results to inform treatment strategies. Methods We retrospectively reviewed data from 173 patients (188 ears) who underwent total stapedectomy, partial

A Core Head, Neck, and Neuroanatomy Syllabus for Physical Therapy Student Education
ABSTRACT Head, neck, and neuroanatomy are essential components of physical therapy education due to their broad clinical applications. Detailed syllabi exist for medical students, yet none have been developed for physical therapy. This study aimed to produce an International Federation of Associations of Anatomists core head, neck, and neuroanatomy ...

Mannitol and the blood-labyrinth barrier
Background Characterization of the blood labyrinth barrier (BLB) is extremely important to determine whether the BLB can be manipulated pharmacologically. However, experiments to investigate the BLB are technically difficult to perform.

An LCMS-based untargeted metabolomics protocol for cochlear perilymph : highlighting metabolic effects of hydrogen gas on the inner ear of noise exposed Guinea pigs [PDF]
Introduction Noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL) is an increasing problem in society and accounts for a third of all cases of acquired hearing loss. NIHL is caused by formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the cochlea causing oxidative stress ...

Drug selection for inner ear therapy
IntroductionOne of the primary tenets in pharmacotherapy is that the applied drug must reach the target tissue at therapeutic concentration. For many therapies intended to treat hearing disorders it has become apparent that we have failed to achieve this
