Tinnitus, or phantom sound perception, leads to increased spontaneous neural firing rates and enhanced synchrony in central auditory circuits animal models. These putative physiologic correlates of tinnitus date have not been well translated the brain human sufferer. Using functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) we recently showed that humans maintained hemodynamic activity adjacent, non-auditory cortices. Here used fNIRS technology investigate changes resting state connectivity...
Tinnitus is the phantom perception of sound in absence an acoustic stimulus. To date, purported neural correlates tinnitus from animal models have not been adequately characterized with translational technology human brain. The aim present study was to measure changes oxy-hemoglobin concentration regions interest (ROI; auditory cortex) and non-ROI (adjacent nonauditory cortices) during stimulation silence participants subjective appreciated equally both ears nontinnitus controls using...
Abstract Background This multicenter, retrospective review documents the initial experience using Flex system for transoral surgery in 2 United States academic centers. Methods All patients who underwent robotic Medrobotics Robotic System (Raynham, MA) between September 2015 and May 2017 were reviewed. Rates of successful complications evaluated. Results Thirty‐six men 32 women enrolled study. The average age was 55.6 years (range 17‐82 years). used successfully tongue base, palatine...
Abstract Background Kidney transplantation is the optimal treatment for end‐stage renal disease. However, highly sensitized patients (HSPs) have reduced access to transplantation, leading increased morbidity and mortality on waiting list. The Canadian Willingness Cross (WTC) program proposes allowing across preformed donor specific antibodies (DSA) determined be at a low risk of rejection under adaptive design framework. This study collected patients’ perspectives development this program....
The concept of a hospitalist has been well established. This model associated with reduced length stay contributing to reduction in healthcare costs. Minimal literature is available assessing the effects an otolaryngology (ENT) at tertiary medical center. aim this study assess role ENT on (1) performing tracheostomies and (2) providing care as part tracheostomy team (TCT).Retrospective chart review all performed by service over 2 years (July 2015-June 2017), prospective data collection...
Noise-induced hearing loss leads to anatomic and physiologic changes in primary auditory cortex (A1) the adjacent dorsal rostral belt (RB). Since acetylcholine is known modulate plasticity other cortical areas, A1 RB following noise damage may be due cholinergic receptor expression. We used [ 3 H]scopolamine 18 F]flubatine binding measure muscarinic (mAChR) nicotinic (nAChR) expression, respectively, guinea pig weeks unilateral, left ear exposure, a temporary threshold shift hearing....
