Anatomical middle and inner ear parameters are often used to predict hearing sensitivities of mammalian species. Given that ear morphology is substantially affected both by phylogeny and body size, it is interesting to consider whether the relatively ...

Endaural tympanoplasty without flap : a report on 34 cases [PDF]
The most carefully planned and executed operation on the ear is a failure as far as the patient is concerned if the cavity collects debris and discharges for months and years afterwards. According to Mawson (1967), twenty-five per cent of radical mastoid

Human summating potential using continuous loop averaging deconvolution: Response amplitudes vary with tone burst repetition rate and duration [PDF]
Electrocochleography (ECochG) to high repetition rate tone bursts may have advantages over ECochG to clicks with standard slow rates. Tone burst stimuli presented at a high repetition rate may enhance summating potential (SP) measurements by reducing ...

Identification of quasi-optimal regions in the design space using surrogate modeling [PDF]
The use of Surrogate Based Optimization (SBO) is widely spread in engineering design to find optimal performance characteristics of expensive simulations (forward analysis: from input to optimal output). However, often the practitioner knows a priori the

Active Transport of Peptides Across the Intact Human Tympanic Membrane. [PDF]
We previously identified peptides that are actively transported across the intact tympanic membrane (TM) of rats with infected middle ears. To assess the possibility that this transport would also occur across the human TM, we first developed and ...

Why does a natural myringostapediopexy cause minimal hearing loss?
Natural myringostapediopexy is a result of tympanic membrane retraction with automastoidectomy that causes the tympanic membrane to plaster onto the stapes directly. It causes minimal conductive hearing impairment.

On the development of the chondrocranium and the histological anatomy of the head in perinatal stages of marsupial mammals [PDF]
An overview of the literature on the chondrocranium of marsupial mammals reveals a relative conservatism in shape and structures. We document the histological cranial anatomy of individuals representing Monodelphis domestica, Dromiciops gliroides ...

Tympanic Membrane Rupture During Stereotaxic Surgery Disturbs the Normal Feeding Behavior in Rats
Stereotactic surgery is a widely used procedure in neuroscience research to study the brain’s regulation of feeding behavior. In line with this notion, this study aims to assess how food consumption and feeding patterns are affected in response to the ...
