[Neurophysiological parameters for speech recognition in patients with cochlear implants].

Objectives: Cochlea Implants (CI) are the preferred treatment for deaf and highly hearing imparied people. While deaf people already profit enormously from any regained hearing perception, it is not as easy to predict a profitable outcome for people with a remaining sense of hearing. To provide patients the best possible outcome in speech understanding, a lot of parameters have to be identified and adjusted.

Living concrete: Democratizing living walls.

Living walls can help bring nature to urban canyons. However, contemporary living walls are cost prohibitive and made of materials with shorter life spans than their buildings. High cost often restricts their use to luxury applications promoting ecological symbolism rather than impactful propagation of urban nature.

Quantitative measurement of BN50727 in human plasma and urine by combined liquid chromatography/negative ion chemical ionization mass spectrometry using a particle beam interface.

A new sensitive assay has been developed for the quantitative measurement of BN50727 at the picomole level in human plasma and urine. The drug and the internal standard (BN50788) were measured by combined liquid chromatography/negative ion chemical ionization mass spectrometry with methane as the reagent gas. A simple solid-liquid extraction procedure was used to isolate BN50727 from the complex biological matrices.

Quantitative measurement of a new synthetic hetrazepine derivative, BN50730, in human plasma and urine by combined liquid chromatography-negative chemical ionization mass spectrometry using a particle beam interface.

A new simple and sensitive assay has been developed for the quantitative measurement of BN50730 at the picomole level in human plasma and urine. The drug and the internal standard (BN50765) were measured by combined liquid chromatography-negative chemical ionization mass spectrometry with methane as the reagent gas. A simple solid-liquid extraction procedure was used to isolate BN50730 from complex biological matrices.

Increased concentrations of endogenous 13-cis- and all-trans-retinoic acids in diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis, as demonstrated by HPLC.

Endogenous 13-cis- and all-trans-retinoic acids have been quantitated in human serum using a solvent extraction procedure followed by isocratic reversed phase high performance liquid chromatography and UV detection. In healthy adults, after an overnight fasting period, the concentrations of 13-cis- and all-trans-retinoic acids yielded 5.3 +/- 2.

[The sector and the walls of the asylum].

The author has been able to strengthen his position of self confident, active practitioner by means of a noteworthy case: patient suffering of a chronic delusion whose internement has been avoided by the prescription of a long acting drug.
