The dynamics of contralateral acoustic suppression were studied using real time (millisecond resolution) distortion product otoacoustic emissions (DPOAEs) in chinchillas and humans. Latency of DPOAE suppression onset is 26 ms in chinchillas and 45 ms in humans. After onset, suppression builds over time before tending to plateau, reflecting a temporal integration process with a time constant of 100 ms (chinchillas). In chinchillas, suppression persists for 40 ms even when elicited by stimuli as short as 5 ms. With stimuli >40 ms, offset and onset latencies are similar and duration of suppression equals that of the contralateral stimulus. A comparison of DPOAE suppression onset latency with neural latency data from the pathways involved suggests the following timing scheme: stimulus onset to activity in (ventral) cochlear nucleus, 4ms (15% of delay); transfer to olivocochlear efferents, 9 ms (35%); efferent conduction to presynaptic OHC site, 4ms (15%); synaptic and mechanical events at OHCs, 9 ms (35% of delay).

Background: Homeless-experienced persons that present in the Emergency Department (ED) often fail to receive follow-up primary care. To inform implementation of a post-ED patient navigation model, we engaged homeless-experienced Veterans to identify barriers to primary care and the acceptability of a peer-led intervention within the ED.
Methods: Between August and November 2023, 3 focus groups (n = 14) and 2 interviews were held (total n = 16) with homeless-experienced Veterans who sought care in the Department of Veterans Affairs' (VA) Greater Los Angeles (GLA) ED.

Background: Procedural success following tricuspid transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER) has been defined variably over time; however, the consequences of achieving a tricuspid regurgitation (TR) grade of 0/1+ are still unclear.
Objectives: This study aimed to assess the predictors and prognostic impact of achieving TR 0/1+ after TEER and its role in clinical events.
Methods: This multicenter registry included patients undergoing tricuspid TEER in 15 Spanish centers from June 2020 and May 2023.

For pet chinchillas, limited data are available on husbandry and the human-animal relationship despite their impact on health, behavior, and welfare. We conducted an online survey with pet chinchilla caretakers ( = 336), targeting husbandry practices, health, behavioral indicators of welfare, and human-chinchilla relationships. We further investigated associations between caretakers' perceptions of stress in their chinchillas and emotional closeness to their animals.

Otitis media is a prevalent pediatric condition. Local delivery of antimicrobial agents to treat otitis media is hindered by the low permeability of the stratum corneum layer in the tympanic membrane. While nanozymes, often inorganic nanoparticles, have been developed to cure otitis media in an antibiotic-free manner in a chinchilla animal model, the tympanic membrane creates an impenetrable barrier that prevents the local and non-invasive delivery of nanozymes.
