Objective: A prospective, longitudinal, randomized controlled trial with an original crossover design for 1 year was conducted to compare manual fitting to artificial intelligence-based fitting in newly implanted patients.
Design: Twenty-four patients who received their first cochlear implant (CI) were randomly assigned to the manual or Fitting to Outcome eXpert (FOX) arm; they followed the corresponding fitting procedures for 1 year. After 1 year, each patient was switched to another arm.
A novel stable bisazide molecule that can freeze the bulk heterojunction morphology at its optimized layout by specifically bonding to fullerenes is reported. The concept is demonstrated with various polymers: fullerene derivatives systems enable highly thermally stable polymer solar cells.

Objective: ERTL (Epreuves de Repérage de Troubles de Langage) tests have been designed as a screening test to detect rapidly language disorders. To evaluate the effectiveness of these tests, we have compared them to the form P (NEEL-P) tests for the examination of language in 6 children with a 22q11 microdeletion.
Materials And Method: 6 children aged from 4 years and 4 months to 5 years and 4 months, 4 boys and 2 girls have been tested.

From 1991 until 1998, 55 three to twelve year-old patients underwent a velopharyngoplasty to correct velopharyngeal insufficiency. They had indeed severe hypernasality with or without gross reflux of food matter into the nasal cavities or behavioural disturbances. Eighty-two percent had a closed cleft palate.

This article describes two types of implant (Prelco and MSR-UCL), criteria of patient selection, surgical aspects pre- and postoperative evaluation setting by group, re-education aspects, and evolution test with quantitative values.
