Requirement for Jagged1-Notch2 signaling in patterning the bones of the mouse and human middle ear

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2017
Whereas Jagged1-Notch2 signaling is known to pattern the sensorineural components of the inner ear, its role in middle ear development has been less clear. We previously reported a role for Jagged-Notch signaling in shaping skeletal elements derived from

Cochlear-bone wave can yield a hearing sensation as well as otoacoustic emission

open access: yes, 2014
A hearing sensation arises when the elastic basilar membrane inside the cochlea vibrates. The basilar membrane is typically set into motion through airborne sound that displaces the middle ear and induces a pressure difference across the membrane.

Cone beam computed tomography after round window vibroplasty. do the radiological findings match the auditory outcome? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Conclusion: The CBCT imaging technique has proved to be reliable for assessing the appropriate positioning of the FMT in the round window niche. However, when considering specific imaging parameters, such as lack of bony contacts and appropriate inferior

The morphology of the oval window in Paranthropus robustus compared to humans and other modern primates

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The oval window (OW) is an opening connecting the inner and middle ear. Its area has been shown to consistently scale with body mass (BM) in primates, and has been used alongside semi‐circular canal (SCC) size to differentiate Homo sapiens and fossil hominins, including Paranthropus robustus.

A perspective from the Mesozoic: Evolutionary changes of the mammalian skull and their influence on feeding efficiency and high‐frequency hearing

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The complex evolutionary history behind modern mammalian chewing performance and hearing function is a result of several changes in the entire skeletomuscular system of the skull and lower jaw. Lately, exciting multifunctional 3D analytical methods and kinematic simulations of feeding functions in both modern and fossil mammals and their ...

Techniques for otosclerosis surgery: Ear surgery from the microscope to the endoscope - A literature review

open access: yesJournal of Otology
Stapes surgery is the gold standard for managing otosclerosis. It has become increasingly appreciated to perform endoscopic ear surgery worldwide as the field of endoscopy expands.

Description of the skull, braincase, and dentition of Moschognathus whaitsi (Dinocephalia, Tapinocephalia), and its palaeobiological and behavioral implications

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract A subadult Moschognathus whaitsi from the Eastern Cape Province, South Africa, was scanned using synchrotron radiation X‐ray computed tomography (SRXCT). Its subadult state allowed the cranial bones and teeth to be identified and individually reconstructed in 3D.

Modeling sound transmission of human middle ear and its clinical applications using finite element analysis

open access: yesKaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, 2013
We have developed a new finite element (FE) model of human right ear, including the accurate geometry of middle ear ossicles, external ear canal, tympanic cavity, and mastoid cavity.

3D anatomical atlas of the heads of male and female adult Chamaeleo calyptratus

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
The veiled chameleon is a model organism in reptile development research. Utilizing contrast‐enhanced microCT and deep learning segmentation models, we have generated the first digital atlases of the skull, nervous system, cranial muscles and hyolingual muscles.
