Characteristics of the mismatch negativity (MMN) were studied by presenting the subjects with four blocks of stimuli containing standard series of clicks (90%) simulating a stationery sound image located in the head midline, and one of three different deviant series of clicks (10%) simulating either a stationary sound image located near the left ear or a moving sound image which shifted from the head midline to the left ear or in the opposite direction. All the deviant stimuli elicited the MMN with the minimal peak amplitude and the greatest latency evoked by the deviant series of clicks simulating the sound image moving from the head midline to the left ear. These findings suggest that the MMN may be considered as a pre-perceptual physiological measure of the discrimination accuracy for the sound signals with various spatial locations.

Machine-Learning Predictions of Cochlear Implant Functional Outcomes: A Systematic Review.
Ear Hear
January 2025
San Francisco Department of Otolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, University of California, San Francisco, California, USA.
Objectives: Cochlear implant (CI) user functional outcomes are challenging to predict because of the variability in individual anatomy, neural health, CI device characteristics, and linguistic and listening experience. Machine learning (ML) techniques are uniquely poised for this predictive challenge because they can analyze nonlinear interactions using large amounts of multidimensional data. The objective of this article is to systematically review the literature regarding ML models that predict functional CI outcomes, defined as sound perception and production.

VA Center for Health Equity Research and Promotion, Pittsburgh, PA, USA.
Background: Because cirrhosis is often unrecognized, we aimed to develop a stepwise screening algorithm for cirrhosis in the Veterans Health Administration (VHA) and assess this approach's feasibility and acceptability.
Methods: VHA hepatology clinicians ("champions") were invited to participate in a pilot program from June 2020 to October 2022. The VHA Corporate Data Warehouse was queried to identify Veterans with possible undiagnosed cirrhosis using Fibrosis-4 (FIB-4) ≥ 3.
Measurement of inferior colliculus volume based on MRI image stacks and its relationship with age and hearing status.
PLoS One
January 2025
Department of Otolaryngology, University Hospital Regensburg, Regensburg, Germany.
The inferior colliculus is a key nucleus in the central auditory pathway, integrating acoustic stimuli from both cochleae and playing a crucial role in sound localization. It undergoes functional and structural development in childhood and experiences age-related degeneration later in life, contributing to the progression of age-related hearing loss. This study aims at finding out, whether the volume of the human inferior colliculus can be determined by analysis of routinely performed MRIs and whether there is any age-related variation.

Early diagnosis of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is challenging because of its depth, which often leads to misdiagnosis during ultrasound examinations. The unique PDAC tumor microenvironment (TME) is characterized by significant fibrous tissue growth, and high interstitial pressure hinders drug penetration into tumors. Additionally, hypoxia and immune suppression within the tumor contribute to poor responses to radiotherapy and chemotherapy, ultimately leading to an unfavorable prognosis.

In this contribution, we apply our newly developed ball-milling platform, which combines Raman spectroscopy and thermal (IR) imaging, as well as acoustic and high-speed optical video recordings, to the synthesis and transformation of citric acid-isonicotinamide (1:2) cocrystal polymorphs in transparent PMMA jars. Particularly, we demonstrate how Raman, temperature, acoustic, and video data are complementary and enable detection and connection of chemical and physical events happening during ball-milling in a time-resolved manner. Importantly, we show that the formation of the three cocrystal polymorphs can be detected through acoustic analyses solely.
