Objectives: To evaluate the influence of noise and stress on the probability of tinnitus in the general population.
Design: Questionnaire data were obtained from 12,166 subjects.
Results: Each year of age increased the odds ratio of tinnitus by about 3%. Men generally showed a higher risk for tinnitus compared with women. Exposure to noise and stress emerged important for the probability of tinnitus. However, for the transition from mild to severe tinnitus, stress turned out to be especially important.
Conclusions: Stress management strategies should be included in hearing conservation programs, especially for individuals with mild tinnitus who report a high stress load.

: This study examines the potential associations between salivary cortisol concentrations and subjective stress test scores in healthy individuals subjected to sound-related, psychological, and physical stressors. : This study employed a single-center observational cross-sectional design, with a sample size of 36 subjects recruited from a tertiary referral audiology center. Between 2023 and 2024, the study recruited subjects with normal hearing, baseline salivary cortisol levels, and subjective stress levels.

Objective: Aim: To investigate the periodontal protective properties of the developed therapeutic and prophylactic complex in terms of pro- and antiradical protection system on an experimental toxic calcium-deficiency model of periodontitis under noise and cold stress.
Patients And Methods: Materials and Methods: Calcium-deficiency toxicity was modelled in animals with the addition of noise and cold stress. The effect of the developed therapeutic and prophylactic complex consisting of the oral gel and the food supplement on the indicators of pro- and antioxidant protection in the blood and periodontal tissues of rats was studied.

Noise pollution is defined as any disturbing or unwanted sound that disrupts or harms human health or wildlife. Noise pollution can have profound effects on both human health and the environment. For humans, exposure to excessive noise levels has been linked to a range of health issues, including hearing damage, stress, and sleep disturbances.

Article Synopsis
- Lightweight polyester shelters are commonly used in mountain rescue, but little is known about the stress experienced by rescuers while using them.
- A study with 48 seasoned rescuers assessed both objective (temperature, humidity, gas concentrations) and subjective stress factors (comfort, noise, air quality) during CPR training in these shelters.
- The findings indicate that the shelters significantly improved physical comfort and most rescuers reported positive working conditions despite rising temperatures and carbon dioxide levels during the process.

Objective: Calcaneal fracture fixation remains a challenging procedure in orthopedics, with computational tools increasingly aiding in the optimization of preoperative planning. To compare the biomechanical stability of intramedullary fixation and locking plate fixation for Sanders II and III calcaneal fractures by three-dimensional (3D) finite element analysis and to provide a theoretical basis for clinical application.
Methods: The Computed Tomography (CT) images were segmented using Mimics software (Materialise NV, Belgium) to identify the region of interest based on threshold segmentation.
