Article Abstract

Objective: To analyse the correlation between tone burst auditory brainstem response (tone burst auditory brainstem response, tb-ABR) and CE-Chirp voice evoked auditory steady-state response (auditory steady-state response, CE-Chirp ASSR) in infants with profound sensorineural hearing loss.

Methods: A total of 45 infants with profound sensorineural hearing loss underwent threshold tone burst ABR and CE-Chirp ASSR of the frequency response test, response thresholds were recorded in 0.5, 1.0, 2.0 and 4.0 kHz. Whether there was correlation or not existed between two methods were analyzed, SPSS 11.0 statistics software was used.

Results: Tone burst ABR and CE-Chirp ASSR could lead to different degrees of threshold in each frequency. Response e elicited threshold percentage mainly concentrated in the 91-100 dBnHL, correlation coefficient between 500-4 000 Hz response threshold elicited rate were: 0.837, 0.913, 0.909, and 0.919, respectively (P < 0.001). The difference of the frequency response threshold test between CE-Chirp ASSR and tone burst ABR were not significant (P > 0.05, Chi square).

Conclusions: The tone burst ABR and CE-Chirp ASSR each frequency have different levels of residual hearing in infants with profound sensorineural hearing loss diagnosed by Click ABR, good correlation exists between tone burst ABR and CE-Chirp ASSR.

Effect of induced astigmatism on vestibulo-ocular reflex.

Clin Exp Optom

January 2025

Department of Optometry, School of Paramedical and Rehabilitation Sciences, Mashhad University of Medical Sciences, Mashhad, Iran.

Clinical Relevance: The vestibular-ocular reflex stabilises the retinal image and maintains balance during head movement. Astigmatism is one of the common refractive errors that can reduce the quality of visual inputs.

Background: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of induced astigmatism on the function of the vestibular-ocular reflex.

This study delves into the feasibility of leveraging quasi-static component (QSC) generation during primary Lamb wave propagation to discern subtle alterations in the interfacial properties of a two-layered plate. Unlike the second-harmonic generation of Lamb waves, QSC generation doesn't necessitate precise phase-velocity matching but rather requires an approximate matching of group velocities to ensure the emergence of cumulative growth effects. This unique characteristic empowers the QSC-based nonlinear ultrasonic method to effectively surmount the limitations associated with inherent dispersion and multimode traits of Lamb wave propagation.

Intravascular Sympathetic Stimulation to Facilitate Catheter Ablation of Premature Ventricular Complexes.

JAMA Cardiol

December 2024

Section for Cardiac Electrophysiology, Division of Cardiovascular Medicine, Department of Medicine, University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia.

Importance: Infrequent intraprocedural premature ventricular complexes (PVCs) limit the efficacy of catheter ablation. Intravascular stimulation of sympathetic nerves via vertebral veins (VVs) has been used to activate cardiac sympathetic tone and may promote PVCs.

Objective: To characterize the ability of direct electrical sympathetic stimulation via VVs to induce PVCs at the time of catheter ablation.

Objectives: Auditory brainstem response (ABR) is the gold standard to assess hearing loss in pediatric patients. Multiple widely accepted ABR protocols with varying parameters are accepted, difference in standards may lead to misdiagnosis or delay in diagnosis and treatment. This study investigates the quality of ABR testing in pediatric patients in addition to changes in diagnoses and management.

Objective:  The objectives of the study were to (i) evaluate the effectiveness of wideband absorbance (WBA) at ambient pressure (WBA), tympanic peak pressure (WBA), and 0 daPa (WBA) to identify conductive hearing loss (CHL) in infants and (ii) compare the sensitivity and specificity of the three WBA tests with that of high-frequency tympanometry (HFT) and transient-evoked otoacoustic emissions (TEOAE).

Method:  A total of 31 ears with hearing thresholds no greater than 20 dB HL (reference group from 20 infants [mean age: 3.1 weeks]) and 47 ears with CHL from 31 infants (mean age: 3.
