This study examined the growth of expressive language skills in children who received cochlear implants (CIs) infancy. Repeated measures were gathered from 29 CIs between 10 and 40 months age. Both cross-sectional curve analyses used to assess relationship outcomes CI experience. A beneficial effect earlier implantation on was found. Growth analysis showed that more rapid implanted as infants than those toddlers. Age at initial stimulation accounted for 14.6% variance individual differences rates.
English language achievement of 29 prelingually deaf children with 3 or more years cochlear implant (CI) experience was compared to the levels who did not have such CI experience. Language measured by Rhode Island Test Structure (RITLS), a measure signed and spoken sentence comprehension, Index Productive Syntax (IPSyn), expressive (signed spoken) grammar. When users were their age mates contributed norms RITLS, it found that achieved significantly better scores. Likewise, we performed than...
The four purposes of this investigation were to assess whether children acquire intelligible speech following prolonged cochlear-implant experience and examine their error patterns, how age at implantation influences acquisition, production perception skills relate, determine cochlear implant recipients who formerly used simultaneous communication (speech manually coded English) begin use without sign communicate. Twenty-eight prelinguistically deafened a Nucleus assigned one three groups,...
Abstract Handwashing is believed to be the most important means of preventing nosocomial infections. Previous studies healthcare workers (HCWs) have shown that handwashing practices are poor. No one has can easily improved and this prevents endemic (non-epidemic) infection. infection rates were studied in two intensive care units (ICUs) a community teaching hospital. monitored secretly throughout study. After six months observation, we started interventions increase handwashing. increased...
In Brief Objective The principal goal of this study was to investigate the relationship between language and literacy (i.e., reading writing) skills in pediatric cochlear implant users. A peripheral objective identify children's that were need remediation subsequently provide suggestions for remedial programming. It predicted robust often associated with children who have experience would facilitate development skills. further proposed users approximate normal hearing. Design Sixteen users'...
This study investigated the phonological processing skills of 29 children with prelingual, profound hearing loss 4 years cochlear implant experience. Results were group matched regard to word-reading ability and mother's educational level performance children. revealed that it is possible obtain a valid measure (PP) in using CIs. They could complete rhyming tasks able sound-based standard test materials provided by commercial distributor. The CI completed measuring PP, but there differences...

In Brief Objectives: Previous studies have reported that children who use cochlear implants (CIs) tend to achieve higher reading levels than their peers with profound hearing loss aids. The purpose of this study was investigate the influences auditory information provided by CI on later skills born deafness. hypothesis there would be a positive and predictive relationship between earlier speech perception, production, subsequent comprehension. Design: perception production at vowel,...
The $\ensuremath{\Upsilon}$, ${\ensuremath{\Upsilon}}^{\ensuremath{'}}$, and ${\ensuremath{\Upsilon}}^{\ensuremath{'}\ensuremath{'}}$ states have been observed at the Cornell Electron Storage Ring as narrow peaks in $\ensuremath{\sigma}({e}^{+}{e}^{\ensuremath{-}}\ensuremath{\rightarrow}\mathrm{hadrons})$ versus beam energy. Data were collected during a run with integrated luminosity of 1000 ${\mathrm{nb}}^{\ensuremath{-}1}$, using Columbia University-Stony Brook segmented NaI detector....
This is a report of an educational strategy to prepare nursing students respond disasters. The includes emergency preparedness disaster simulation (EPDS) implemented in school lab using patient simulators, task trainer mannequins, and live actors. EPDS immerses student groups into "tornado ravaged assisted-living facility" where the principles can be employed. A total 90 B.S.N. participated final semester their senior year. Student post-simulation survey responses were overwhelmingly...
It is frequently assumed that deaf individuals have superior visual-spatial abilities relative to hearing peers and thus, in educational settings, they are often considered visual learners. There some empirical evidence support the former assumption, although it inconsistent, apparently none latter. Three experiments examined related cognitive among who varied their preferred language modality use of cochlear implants (CIs) sign skills. Sign spoken assessments accompanied tasks involving...
Speech intelligibility of 24 prelingually deaf pediatric cochlear implant (CI) recipients with 84 months device experience was investigated. Each CI participant's speech samples were judged by a panel 3 listeners. Intelligibility scores calculated as the average listeners' responses. The write-down score 71.54% ( SD = 29.89), and rating-scale 3.03 points 1.01). Write-down highly correlated r .91, p <.001). Linear regression analyses revealed that both age at implantation different...

Abstract Congenital profound hearing loss affects 0.05–0.1% of children and has many causes, some which are associated with cognitive delay. For prelingually‐deafened cochlear implant recipients, the etiology deafness is usually unknown. Mutations in GJB2 have been established as most common cause heritable United States. In this report, we identify recipients ‐related examine performance these individuals. Cochlear received a battery perceptive, cognitive, reading tests. Neither subjects...

This study characterized the development of speech sound production in prelingually deaf children with a minimum 8 years cochlear implant (CI) experience.Twenty-seven pediatric CI recipients' spontaneous samples from annual evaluation sessions were phonemically transcribed. Accuracy for these was evaluated piecewise regression models.As group, recipients showed steady improvement following implantation, but rate declined after 6 device experience. Piecewise models indicated that slope...
The long-term educational/vocational, affiliation, and quality-of-life outcomes of the first second cohorts children with bilateral, profound hearing loss who received cochlear implants under a large National Institutes Health–funded study was investigated in 41 61 eligible participants. Educational vocational were collected from user survey data. Affiliation data Satisfaction-with-Life scale Deaf Identity Scale.

This study investigated the development of tense markers (e.g., past –ed) in children with cochlear implants (CIs) over a 3-year span. Nine who received CIs before 30 months age participated this at three, four, and five years postimplantation. typical 3-, 4-, 5-year- olds served as control groups. All story-retell task. Percent correct marking task was computed. Within groups, percent changed significantly had more hearing experience. Across were less accurate than four In addition,...
Enzyme-based newborn screening for Mucopolysaccharidosis type I (MPS I) has a high false-positive rate due to the prevalence of pseudodeficiency alleles, often resulting in unnecessary and costly follow up. The glycosaminoglycans (GAGs), dermatan sulfate (DS) heparan (HS) are both substrates α-l-iduronidase (IDUA). These GAGs elevated patients with MPS have been shown be promising biomarkers primary second-tier testing. Since February 2016, we measured DS HS 1213 specimens submitted on...
