NERVE growth factor promotes survival and differentiation of selected groups neurones through long-term adaptive changes in cell function. While production this neurotrophin target cells hippocampus is regulated part by afferent glutamate neuronal input, we report now for the first time that nerve has a direct potentiating effect on spontaneous depolarizationevoked release from hippocampal endings, accompanied an increase excitatory postsynaptic potential CA1 neurones. This correlated with...
Abstract Age‐related hearing loss (ARHL) is considered one of the most common neurodegenerative disorders in elderly; however, how it contributes to cognitive decline poorly understood. With resting‐state functional magnetic resonance imaging from 66 individuals with ARHL and 54 healthy controls, group spatial independent component analyses, sliding window graph‐theory methods, multilayer networks, correlation analyses were used identify ARHL‐induced disturbances static dynamic network...
The aim of this study was to investigate auditory cortical development using mismatch negativity (MMN) in prelingual severe-to-profound hearing-impaired children from the stage cochlear implant (CI) power-up 6 months after power-up.Eighteen were recruited and examined at CI initial (M0), as well several follow-up periods, that is, 1 month (M1), 3 (M3), (M6) power-up. MMN responses measured a 128-Channel Dense Array EEG System. group average individual analysis used longitudinal changes...
Abstract The objective of this study was to investigate alterations brain activity and functional connectivity in patients with tinnitus, exploring neural features the transition from acute chronic phantom perception. Twenty‐four 23 32 healthy controls were recruited. High‐density electroencephalography (EEG) used explore changes areas different groups. When compared subjects, tinnitus had a significant reduction superior frontal cortex across all frequency bands, whereas at beta 3 gamma...
Objectives This study investigated the usefulness and performance of a two-stage attention-aware convolutional neural network (CNN) for automated diagnosis otitis media from tympanic membrane (TM) images. Design A classification model development validation in ears with based on otoscopic TM Two commonly used CNNs were trained evaluated dataset. On basis Class Activation Map (CAM), pipeline was developed to improve accuracy reliability, simulate an expert reading Setting participants is...
Abstract Extreme multi-label text classification (XMTC) annotates related labels for unknown from large-scale label sets. Transformer-based methods have become the dominant approach solving XMTC task due to their effective representation capabilities. However, existing fail effectively exploit correlation between in task. To address this shortcoming, we propose a novel model called TLC-XML, i.e., Transformer with extreme classification. TLC-XML comprises three modules: Partition, Matcher and...
Background: Hearing loss is one of the most common chronic conditions in older adults. In audiology literature, several studies have examined attitudes and behavior people with hearing loss; however, not much known about manner which society general views perceives loss. This exploratory study was aimed at understanding social representation (among public) countries India, Iran, Portugal, UK. We also compared these representations. Materials methods: The involved a cross-sectional design,...
Purpose: The neural bases in acute tinnitus remains largely undetected. objective of this study was to identify the alteration brain network involved patients with and hearing loss. Methods: Acute (n=24) loss age-, sex-, education- matched healthy controls (n=21) participated current underwent resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) scanning. ReHo ALFF used investigate local spontaneous activity, connectivity (FC) Granger causality analysis (GCA) analyze undirected...
Otitis media with effusion (OME) is one of the most common causes acquired conductive hearing loss (CHL). Persistent associated poor childhood speech and language development other adverse consequence. However, to obtain accurate reliable thresholds largely requires a high degree cooperation from patients.To predict CHL otoscopic images using deep learning (DL) techniques logistic regression model based on tympanic membrane features.A retrospective diagnostic/prognostic study was conducted...
Many studies have investigated aberrant functional connectivity (FC) using resting-state MRI (rs-fMRI) in subjective tinnitus patients. However, no verified the efficacy of FC as a diagnostic imaging marker. We established convolutional neural network (CNN) model based on rs-fMRI to distinguish patients from healthy controls, providing guidance and fast tools for clinical diagnosis tinnitus.
Within this study we have examined the particular hearing complaints of patients being considered for a cochlear implant and specific benefits/shortcomings experienced by implanted using open-ended questionnaires. As expected, difficulty general conversation was most common individual complaint. However, 45% were concentrated in ‘psychosocial’ category, which significantly higher than that found among audiological rehabilitation patients. The average number benefits listed having implants...
This report describes relationships between middle-ear measurements of acoustic admittance and energy reflectance (YR) hearing status using visual reinforcement audiometry in a neonatal hearing-screening population. Analyses were performed on 2638 ears which combined obtained [Norton et al., Ear Hear. 21, 348–356 (2000)]. The included distortion-product otoacoustic emissions (DPOAE), transient evoked (TEOAE), auditory brainstem responses (ABR). Models to predict DPOAEs, TEOAEs, or ABRs each...
Objectives: To evaluate the changes in self‐rated quality of life (QoL) obtained following cochlear implantation relation to individual’s complaints. Design: We have used repeated responses over a period at least 4 years so as examine within‐subject relationships. Participants: Twenty‐four consecutive post‐lingually deafened patients who had been fitted with implants between 1991 and December 2000 University Hospital Wales were investigated. Main outcome measures: The open‐ended problems...
Objective: Hearing impairment is known to have various effects upon both the person with hearing (PHI) and their communication partners (CPs). In addition, CPs are reported play an important role in making decision seek a consultation acceptance of intervention by PHI. The overall aim this paper provide comprehensive overview CP audiological enablement/rehabilitation PHI keeping clinical practice focus. Method: A literature review was conducted using number resources including electronic...
