Results are presented of plotting a dimeric mathematical model of human internal ear cochlea with allowance for the dependence of the basilar membrane mass on the length of its region between the registered point and the labyrinth wall of the threshold window region. Investigations carried out on such a model by means of a computer permitted calculation of the location of the rounding curve maximum point of the displacement waves of the basilar membrane for the frequencies of 0.05-95 kHz included. An analysis of the rounding waves of the sonic and ultrasonic range showed that although above 20 kHz the curves maximum acquires slured contours, it is well enough pronounced up to 75 kHz. The results obtained suggest adequate effect of ultrasounds on the internal ear and analogy of mechanical reaction of human cochlea to sonic and ultrasonic stimulation.

Dizziness is a common clinical presentation that incurs huge financial costs. It is frequently misdiagnosed due to a wide differential involving both benign (inner ear disease) and serious (stroke) disorders. Traditional frameworks that emphasize symptom quality (dizziness/lightheadedness/vertigo) lack diagnostic utility.

Background: Asthma is one of the most common causes of chronic respiratory disease, and countries with low socioeconomic status have both a high prevalence of asthma and asthma-related death.

Objective: In this study, we aimed to determine socioeconomic levels of asthmatic patients according to a national database and investigate the effects of social markers on disease control in our region.

Methods: This is an analysis of data from 2053 adult asthma patients from a multicentre chart study in Turkey.

This study aimed to investigate the efficacy of inverted door flap (IDF) combined with transcanal approach to the tympanic antrum (TCAA) technique under the endoscope for treatment of middle ear cholesteatoma. Outcomes of patients treated with combined techniques at the First People's Hospital of Foshan City between March 2021 and March 2023 were evaluated. A total of 31 patients (33 ears, 16 males and 15 females) aged (42.

Phase transitions in the mantle control its internal dynamics and structure. The post-spinel transition marks the upper-lower mantle boundary, where ringwoodite dissociates into bridgmanite plus ferropericlase, and its Clapeyron slope regulates mantle flow across it. This interaction has previously been assumed to have no lateral spatial variations, based on the assumption of a linear post-spinel boundary in pressure and temperature.

Hair cells in the mammalian cochlea are highly vulnerable to damage from drug toxicity, noise exposure, aging, and genetic mutations, with no capacity for regeneration. Progress in hair cell protection research has been limited by the scarcity of cochlear tissue and suitable in vitro models. Here, we present a novel one-step, self-organizing inner ear organoid system optimized with small molecules, which bypasses the need for multi-step expansion and forced differentiation protocols.
