Comodulation Masking Release in Tinnitus Frequency and One Lower Octave of Tinnitus Frequency.

Inhibitory function is the basis of many perceptual and non-perceptual abilities in the auditory system. In people with tinnitus, decreased inhibitory function in the central auditory system has been proven. This disorder is caused by an increase in neural activity caused by an imbalance between stimulation and inhibition.

The comparison of the comodulation masking release (CMR) in individuals with and without chronic tinnitus.

In comodulation masking release (CMR), the auditory signal threshold improves when maskers far from the frequency of the target signal are coherently amplitude-modulated. Studies show that inhibitory function may play a role in CMR. In individuals who have tinnitus, decreasing inhibitory functioning in auditory central nervous system has been documented.

Asymmetric Flankers in Comodulation Masking Release.

Background And Objectives: Detection of auditory signals may be improved when maskers far from the frequency of the target signal are coherently amplitude-modulated. This improvement of signal detection is called comodulation masking release (CMR). In the CMR experiments, flankers have been usually arranged symmetrically.

The effectiveness of theory- and model-based lifestyle interventions on HbA1c among patients with type 2 diabetes: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Objectives: The prevalence of type 2 diabetes is rising rapidly around the world. A number of systematic reviews have provided evidence for the effectiveness of lifestyle interventions on diabetic patients. The effectiveness of theory- and model-based education-lifestyle interventions for diabetic patients are unclear.

Malaria or flu? A case report of misdiagnosis.

We present and discuss elaborately a case of malaria misdiagnosis in a 27-year-old woman in Chalus, Mazandaran Province, North Iran in 2013. The patient has been complaining of fever, shivering and myalgia for three months. Although she visited two physicians during this time, the problem still remained owing to misdiagnose.
