Degeneration of saccular hair cells caused by MITF gene mutation

open access: yesNeural Development, 2019
Background Waardenburg syndrome (WS) is the consequence of an inherited autosomal dominant mutation which causes the early degeneration of intermediate cells of cochlear stria vascularis (SV) and profound hearing loss.

Morphometric study of the bony labyrinth of the inner ear in the European moles Talpa europaea, Talpa occidentalis, and Talpa aquitania

open access: yesJournal of Anatomy, Volume 248, Issue 1, Page 71-81, January 2026.
The study investigates the shape of the semicircular canals in the inner ear of three sister mole species—Talpa europaea, Talpa aquitania, and Talpa occidentalis—using geometric morphometrics on 58 specimens. It finds both interspecific and intraspecific variability in canal morphology, but no evidence of sexual dimorphism.

Mycelial dynamics in arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi

open access: yesNew Phytologist, Volume 249, Issue 2, Page 691-713, January 2026.
Summary Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF), similar to other filamentous fungi, develop extensive hyphal networks collectively known as mycelia. AMF mycelia are complemented by a variety of specialized structures such as spores, vesicles, and auxiliary cells, which together form integrated and functionally diverse AMF networks.

Use of ultrasound to estimate tracheal diameter in unclipped brachycephalic dogs: A pilot study

open access: yesVeterinary Record Open, Volume 12, Issue 2, December 2025.
Abstract Background A significant contributory factor to the brachycephalic obstructive airway syndrome index of bulldogs is the diameter of their tracheas. Bulldogs are predisposed to tracheal hypoplasia. A non‐invasive, financially reasonable and widely accessible screening test for tracheal diameter would be useful for assessing the most appropriate

Congenital Saccular Cyst of the Larynx

open access: yesPhilippine Journal of Otolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery, 2008
Congenital saccular cysts of the larynx are a rare cause of airway obstruction in the neonatal population. Symptoms are non-specific and common to other causes of laryngeal obstruction.

Membrane Stress in the Human Labyrinth and Meniere Disease: A Model Analysis

open access: yesInternational Archives of Otorhinolaryngology, 2015
Introduction The nature and extent of membrane damage encountered in Meniere disease remains unexplained. Pressure-induced membrane stress may underlie the characteristic hydropic distention.

Assocation of the larynx carsinom and laryngocele

open access: yesTurkish Archives of Otorhinolaryngology, 2011
Laryngocele is a lesion being filled dilatation of laryngeal ventricle saccule with air or herniation seen rarely for the larynx. In about 16% of the cases with the diagnosis of laryngocele, squamous cell carcinome accompanies.

Acute histological reactions in the otolith organs to inner ear drug delivery through a cochlear implant

open access: yesFrontiers in Neurology
IntroductionCochlear implantation is currently regarded as a safe and minimally invasive procedure. However, cochlear implantation can have an impact on vestibular function, despite the lack of correlation between patient symptomatology and damage in ...

Visual vestibular mismatch: is it a vestibular disorder?

open access: yesThe Egyptian Journal of Otolaryngology, 2017
Background Visual vestibular mismatch (VVM) is a group of symptoms rather than a disease. All are exaggerated by introducing any visual conflict. For such reason, there is no adequate tools to investigate or to diagnose and limited research studies were ...

Skin sympathetic nerve activity is modulated during slow sinusoidal linear displacements in supine humans

open access: yesFrontiers in Neuroscience, 2016
Low-frequency sinusoidal linear acceleration (0.08 Hz, ±4 mG) modulates skin sympathetic nerve activity (SSNA) in seated subjects (head vertical), suggesting that activation of the utricle in the peripheral vestibular labyrinth modulates SSNA. The aim of
