Right ear advantage in cochlear implant simulation: short- and long-term effects.

Objectives: This study investigates the short-term effects of degraded auditory input on the right ear advantage (REA) and the REA following long-term exposure to vocoder-processed sounds, which simulate cochlear implant (CI) hearing. Vocoder processing allows normal hearing individuals to experience CI-like hearing conditions, enabling an exploration of how modifications to auditory input influence the REA.

Design: A repeated-measures design was employed.

Discharge performance of side gates with different shapes.

Flow measurement and water level control in open channels are vital to water management. Lateral intake structures are commonly used for different purposes in civil and environmental engineering applications. Flow characteristics of rectangular, triangular, and semi-circular shapes were experimentally investigated using 357 runs under subcritical flow conditions.

Bee bread shows therapeutic and protective effects by alleviating inflammation, oxidative stress, and apoptosis on acetic acid-induced gastric ulcer in rats.

Objective: This study investigated bee bread's (BB) protective and therapeutic effects on acetic acid-(AA)-induced gastric ulcers via oxidative stress, DNA damage, inflammation, and apoptosis.

Materials And Methods: Rats were administered saline-(1ml) or BB-(0.5g/kg/day;1ml) by oral gavage once daily for 10-day following 80% AA-induced chronic ulceration in treatment group.

Diversity and Resistance Profiles of ESBL-Producing Gram-Negative Bacteria from Dairy Farms in Southern Türkiye.

The increasing occurrence of extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL)-producing , most commonly , has become a serious problem. The aim of this study was to determine the presence of ESBL-producing Gram-negative bacteria in dairy cattle, goat and sheep farms located in southern Türkiye. Samples (409 quarter milk samples and 110 fresh faecal samples from cattle, 75 bulk tank milk samples and 225 rectal swab samples from goats and sheep) were subjected to selective isolation on MacConkey agar with ceftazidime (2 µg/mL).

Musical pitch and timbre perception in stuttering children.

Objectives: This study aims to evaluate musical pitch and timbre perception in children who stutter and compare the results with typically developing children.

Methods: A total of 50 participants were included in the study, consisting of 25 children with stuttering (mean age = 10.06 years; range 6-17 years) and 25 typically developing children (mean age = 10.
