Click-evoked auditory-brainstem-response (ABR) is widely used for hearing screening in neonates and infants. However, their normative values are based on small studies. This retrospective study was done at a tertiary-care centre where click-ABR based screening is done in all newborns. ABR records (Nihon-Kohden machine, model MEB-9400K) of 420 healthy neonates (preterm 75; full-term 32) and infants (113) done over a period 4 years (2014-2018) were analysed retrospectively. Sick neonates and those with Wave V threshold > 40 dbnHL were excluded. Infants were divided into four groups based on post-conceptual age, Group A (75): 34-36 weeks; Group B (44): 37-40weeks; Group C (188):41 weeks-1 month; and Group D (113): 1-6months. The mean absolute latencies for wave I, wave III, and wave V varied from 1.45-1.56 milliseconds (ms), 4.14-4.37 ms, and 6.36-6.81 ms respectively. Interpeak latencies for I-V and I-III varied from 4.91 ms to 5.22 ms and 2.69 ms to 2.81 ms respectively. Older infants had lower absolute and interpeak latencies. Late preterm babies were not different from term babies suggesting early maturation of brainstem pathways.

The COVID-19 pandemic triggered social and economic stagnation worldwide, significantly impacting people's lives. In addition, the Russia-Ukraine war that began in 2022 resulted in rising food prices globally, severely affecting low- and middle-income countries. This study aimed to examine the impact of these unprecedented crises on individual values, focusing on Senegal's urban population.

Background: MRI offers quantification of proton density fat fraction (PDFF) and tissue characteristics with T1 mapping. The influence of age, sex, and the potential confounding effects of fat on T1 values in skeletal muscle in healthy adults are insufficiently known.
Purpose: To determine the accuracy and repeatability of a saturation-recovery chemical-shift encoded multiparametric approach (SR-CSE) for quantification of T1 and muscle fat content, and establish normative values (age, sex) from a healthy cohort.
Assessing Active and Passive Glenohumeral Rotational Deficits in Professional Tennis Players: Use of Normative Values at 90° and 45° of Abduction to Make Decisions in Injury-Prevention Programs.

(1) Background: Glenohumeral internal and external rotational range-of-movement deficits (GIRDs and GERDs) are some of the primary outcomes used to determine the risk of injury in overhead athletes, such as tennis players. Nevertheless, the current testing position does not consider the fact that most tennis actions are repeated at 45° of abduction, and actively. The aim of this study was to establish normative values of pathological GIRDs and GERDs in tennis players and to provide normative values for both the passive and active rotational range of motion of the glenohumeral joint at 90° and 45° of abduction.

The brainstem auditory-evoked response (BAER) is an established electrophysiological measure of neural activity from the auditory nerve up to the brain stem. The BAER is used to diagnose abnormalities in auditory pathways and in neurophysiological human and animal research. However, normative data for BAERs in sheep, which represent an adequate large animal model for translational and basic otological research, are lacking.

Background: The DCDDaily-questionnaire (DCDDaliy-Q) evaluates children's performance and participation in motor-based activities of daily living (ADLs), meeting diagnostic criterion B for developmental coordination disorder (DCD). Currently, there are no Chinese translations or growth references available. Thus, this study aimed to culturally adapt, validate, and establish reference norms for the DCDDaily-Q in Chinese children.
