To investigate the effect of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) on recovery swallowing function in patients with a brain injury.Patients injury and dysphagia were enrolled. Patients randomly assigned to sham, low high frequency groups. We performed rTMS at 100% motor evoked potential (MEP) threshold 5 Hz for 10 seconds then repeated this every minute group. In group, was conducted MEP 1 frequency. The sham group treated using same parameters as but coil rotated 90° create...

Objective To investigate the usefulness of bioimpedance measurement for predicting treatment outcome in breast cancer related lymphedema (BCRL) patients. Method Unilateral BCRL patients who received complex decongestive therapy (CDT) 2 weeks (5 days per week) were enrolled this study. We measured ratio extracellular fluid (ECF) volume by using bioelectrical impedance spectroscopy (BIS), and single frequency analysis (SFBIA) at a 5 kHz before treatment. Arm circumferences 10 cm above below...

Conclusion: The width of the bony cochlear nerve canal (BCNC) and size are reliable predictors long-term speech perception abilities for children with auditory neuropathy spectrum disorder (ANSD) after implantation (CI). In addition, electrical stapedial reflex (ESR) compound action potential (ECAP) also have considerable value in predicting postoperative these children. Objectives: To assess whether CI ANSD can be predicted from results radiologic studies electrophysiologic tests. Methods:...

Children with auditory neuropathy (AN) obtain considerable benefit from cochlear implantation. Their performance outcomes are as good those of implanted children sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL). The neural status AN would be comparable to that SNHL and suitable for implantation.The purpose this study was evaluate the implantation in assess nerve these patients.Nine who underwent were included. which measured by Categories Auditory Performance (CAP), Monosyllabic Word (MW) test phonemes,...

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) and the c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) signaling pathway may be involved in secondary apoptosis of spiral ganglion cells (SGCs) induced by intracochlear gentamicin injection.The purpose this study was to ascertain role ROS JNK SGCs treatment.Gentamicin (40 mg/ml) injected into cochlea guinea pigs (n = 18) destroy hair induce SGCs. At 1 6), 2 3 6) weeks after treatment, cochleas were removed stained with hematoxylin eosin, terminal deoxynucleotidyl...

<b><i>Objectives:</i></b> The aims of this study were to introduce a new classification cochleovestibular malformation (CVM) and investigate how well can predict speech perception ability after cochlear implantation in children with CVM. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> Fifty-nine CVM who had used implant for more than 3 years included. was classified into 4 subtypes based on the morphology cochlea modiolus temporal bone computed tomography (TBCT):...

Objective and Background: Along with auditory function, cognitive function contributes to speech perception in the presence of background noise. Older adults impairment might, therefore, have more difficulty perceiving speech-in-noise than their peers who normal function. We compared effects noise level on patients amnestic mild (aMCI), cognitively older adults, younger adults. Methods: studied 14 aMCI age-, education-, hearing threshold-matched intact as experimental groups, a control...

Objective Older adults often have more difficulty understanding speech than younger do, particularly in the presence of noise. Such age-related perception difficulties may be related to declines central auditory processing. Additionally, it has been hypothesized that impaired processing might neural dysynchrony. The purpose this study was examine effects stimulus intensity and noise on N1-P2 response older normal-hearing adults. Methods Eight 8 participated study. Brief 100-ms tones (1.0...

Conclusion: The results of this study show that the temporal processing ability in children with auditory neuropathy (AN) can be restored to some degree by electrical stimulation through a cochlear implant. In addition, electrically evoked compound action potential (ECAP) may useful index predict outcomes implanted AN. Objectives: purpose was evaluate restoration abilities AN using ECAP recovery function and speech perception. Methods: Ten who had received implantations participated study,...

AbstractObjectives—Videostrobokymography (VSK) has recently been introduced. The aim of this study was to analyze vibratory patterns and objective parameters in various benign vocal fold lesions using VSK examine the efficacy clinical applications.Material Methods—Using VSK, we analyzed vibration normal folds, such as nodules, polyps, cysts Reinke's edema cases unilateral paralysis. We also calculated open quotient asymmetric index compared them with their mean values controls.Results—In...

It is increasingly agreed upon that cognitive and audiological factors are associated with self-perceived hearing handicap in old adults. This study aimed to compare among mild impairment (MCI) subgroups a cognitively normal elderly (CNE) group determine which (i.e., demographic, audiometric, or neuropsychological factors) correlated each group. A total of 46 MCI patients 39 threshold-matched CNE subjects participated this study, their age ranged from 55 80 years. The were reclassified into...

<b><i>Objective:</i></b> To identify clinical criteria for selecting the aiding device contralateral ear of children with a unilateral cochlear implant (CI). <b><i>Methods:</i></b> Sixty-five children, including 36 bilateral CI users and 29 bimodal users, participated in study. A speech perception test (monosyllabic word test) noise was administered. The target (65 dB sound pressure level) presented from front loudspeaker, (10 signal-to-noise...

A pontine hemorrhage can evoke several neurological symptoms because the pons contains various nuclei and nerve fibers. Hearing loss develop as a result of there is an auditory conduction pathway in cochlear nucleus pons. However, very few cases hearing caused by lesions have been reported, no reports neuropathy that developed following hemorrhage. Recently we had patient who experienced nontraumatic was diagnosed with neuropathy. The 34-year-old male admitted to emergency department sudden...

Background and Objectives The objective of this study was to examine the effect early cochlear implantation (CI) performed in infants less than 12 months age. Subjects Method Twenty-five children who received their first CI before age were included (infant group). speech perception language outcomes these compared with those 14 between 13 24 (older All sequential bilateral inter-stage interval 2 years. Speech measured using Categories Auditory Performance, monosyllabic word test sentence...

Background and Objectives Although many studies have shown that cochlear implantation promotes restoration of adequate hearing verbal ability, there is little research showing whether patients with implants (CI) adapted well to the society by forming a good interpersonal relationship. The purpose this study was investigate competence college students who acquired ability through CI. Subjects Method Interpersonal examined using Korean version questionnaire. Participants were 23 CI had...

Background and Objectives Theory of Mind (ToM) refers to the ability humans have for recognizing mental states others predicting or explaining other people’s behavior. ToM is an essential people living with because it influences social relations, deaf children been reported problems in ToM. As there are no assessment tools Korea, purpose this study was establish such a version examine early development cochlear implant (CI).
