Abstract Background Aminoglycoside ototoxicity is one of the common health problems. Mitochondrial 12S rRNA mutations are important causes aminoglycoside ototoxicity. However, incidences associated with less known. Methods A total 440 Chinese pediatric hearing-impaired subjects were recruited from two otology clinics in Ningbo and Wenzhou cities Zhejiang Province, China. These underwent clinical, genetic evaluation molecular analysis mitochondrial rRNA. Resultant mtDNA variants evaluated by...
Introduction: Otitis media with effusion (OME) is a common middle ear disease in children. The associated conductive hearing loss major concern for health professionals. aim of the present study was to describe configuration pure tone audiograms children OME and design statistical stratification algorithm facilitate profiling OME.Methods: School age were recruited. Bone air conduction thresholds obtained using standard procedures. Hierarchical cluster analysis employed determine audiometric...
Different guidelines are adopted in clinics and countries to assess pure tone hearing sensitivity children with otitis media effusion (OME). Some specify a broad range of audiometric frequencies that must be tested from which average thresholds determined, while others leave test unspecified. For suggest specific there various frequency ranges given. The present study investigated whether (1) full is required evaluate loss caused by OME children, or if neighboring provide essentially the...
Conductive hearing loss simulations have attempted to estimate the speech-understanding difficulties of children with otitis media effusion (OME). However, validity this approach has not been evaluated. The research aim present study was investigate whether a simple, frequency-specific, attenuation-based simulation OME-related able reflect actual effects conductive on speech perception.Forty-one school-age were recruited. Each child OME matched same sex and age counterpart normal make...
The present study explored tone perception ability in school age Mandarin-speaking children with otitis media effusion (OME) noisy listening environments. investigated the interaction effects of noise, type, age, and hearing status on monaural perception, assessed application a hierarchical clustering algorithm for profiling impairment OME.
We introduce RakutenAI-7B, a suite of Japanese-oriented large language models that achieve the best performance on Japanese LM Harness benchmarks among open 7B models. Along with foundation model, we release instruction- and chat-tuned models, RakutenAI-7B-instruct RakutenAI-7B-chat respectively, under Apache 2.0 license.
