Stimuli and normative data for detection of Ling-6 sounds in hearing level.

Purpose: The purpose of this work was to develop and evaluate a calibrated version of the Ling-6 sounds for evaluation of aided detection thresholds. Stimuli were recorded, and data from calibration values in dB HL were developed. Aided performance was characterized in adults and children.

Characterization and quantitation of vasopressin metabolites in the rat brain by specific radioimmunoassay and high-pressure liquid chromatography.

The content of endogenous vasopressin (AVP1-9) and its metabolites in rat's various brain areas and pituitary gland was investigated by the combination techniques of high pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC) and radioimmunoassay (RIA). In addition to the AVP1-9, several compounds with C-terminal AVP immunoreactivity were detected in hypothalamus, hippocampus, amygdala, medulla oblongata and septum. The C-terminal AVP1-9 metabolites were virtually absent in the pituitary gland.
