Degeneration of saccular hair cells caused by MITF gene mutation
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.

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
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
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

Assocation of the larynx carsinom and laryngocele
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.

Visual vestibular mismatch: is it a vestibular disorder?
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 ...

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
