This study investigates auditory localization in children with a diagnosis of hearing impairment rehabilitated with bilateral cochlear implants or hearing aids. Localization accuracy in the anterior horizontal field and its distribution along the angular position of the source were analyzed. Participants performed a localization task in a virtual environment where they could move their heads freely and were asked to point to an invisible sound source.

- This study explores the outcomes and management of pediatric auditory brainstem implantation (ABI) for children with severe inner ear malformations, aiming to unify clinical practices and address current challenges.
- A systematic review of relevant findings from the Third International Pediatric ABI Symposium analyzed data from multiple countries, highlighting trends in auditory outcomes, surgical approaches, and rehabilitation strategies.
- Key conclusions emphasize the need for standardized guidelines and improved collaboration among healthcare professionals to enhance patient outcomes and guide future research in this specialized field.
Article Synopsis
- * A study was conducted in Bologna, Italy, to develop a cooling system using nebulizers activated by sensors to prevent sunburn and improve vineyard conditions.
- * Results showed that the nebulized water treatment improved leaf function and increased productivity without compromising grape quality, with Montepulciano vines performing better under normal water conditions.
Introduction: Purpose of our study was to compare two competing methods of performing bisyllabic word speech audiometry for the detection of the 50% speech reception threshold in noise (SRT50).
Methods: Classic method is performed submitting multiple word lists at a fixed signal-to-noise ratio. A newer Fast method - Italian Fast Speech Reception Threshold 50 (IFastSRT50) - is performed by means of program software with a single list of bisyllabic words and noise intensity shifting.
We analysed the spatially explicit floristic information available in the herbarium of Ulisse Aldrovandi (1551-1586) to track floristic changes in the surroundings of Bologna across five centuries. Aldrovandi's data were compared with the by Girolamo Cocconi (1883) and the Floristic Database of Emilia-Romagna (1965-2021). We explored potential variations in native range and life forms composition, and habitat affinity of the species in the three floras, also contrasting between native and alien species.
