Help-seeker satisfaction with diagnosis and treatment of tinnitus.

Objective: To examine help-seeker satisfaction with the first communication of a tinnitus diagnosis by a healthcare provider, whether help-seekers undertook treatment and how they rated this treatment.

Design: A survey design assessed tinnitus characteristics and distress, health status, help-seeking, diagnosis communication, treatment and patient satisfaction.

Study Sample: A self-selected cohort and a population-based cohort.

Seeking Help for Tinnitus and Satisfaction With Healthcare Providers Including Diagnosis, Clinical Services, and Treatment: A Scoping Review.

The objective of this scoping review was to describe the extent and type of evidence related to seeking help for tinnitus and satisfaction with healthcare providers including diagnosis, services and treatments along the clinical pathway. The selection criteria were adults aged 18 and over with tinnitus who sought help and where patient satisfaction with healthcare providers was reported. Online databases MEDLINE (OvidSP), Embase (OvidSP), PsycINFO (OvidSP) and CINAHL plus (EBSCO) were searched for original studies in English.

Extract Biostimulant Processing and Its Impact on Enhancing Heat Stress Tolerance During Tomato Fruit Set.

The application of biostimulants derived from extracts of the brown seaweed has long been accepted by growers to have productivity benefits in stressed crops. The impact of the processing method of the . biomass is also known to affect compositional and physicochemical properties.

A plant biostimulant from the seaweed Ascophyllum nodosum (Sealicit) reduces podshatter and yield loss in oilseed rape through modulation of IND expression.

The yield of podded crops such as oilseed rape (OSR) is limited by evolutionary adaptations of the plants for more efficient and successful seed dispersal for survival. These plants have evolved dehiscent dry fruits that shatter along a specifically developed junction at carpel margins. A number of strategies such as pod sealants, GMOs and hybrids have been developed to mitigate the impact of pod shatter on crop yield with limited success.

Coherent beam combination of four holmium amplifiers with phase control via a direct digital synthesizer chip.

We present the coherent beam combination of four 2100 nm holmium amplifiers with their phase controlled through acousto-optic modulators driven by the RF output of direct digital synthesizer chips. Phase alignment was achieved through the use of a field programmable gate array based stochastic parallel gradient descent algorithm.
