Presbycusis (PC) is characterized by bilateral sensorineural hearing loss at high frequencies and speech-perception difficulties in noisy environments has a strikingly detrimental impact on cognitive function. As the neural consequences of PC may involve whole brain, we hypothesized that patients with would show structural alterations not only auditory cortex but also cortexes involved The purpose this study was to use surface-based morphometry (SBM) analysis elucidate whole-brain...
Recent studies suggest that the interaction between presbycusis and cognitive impairment may be partially explained by cognitive-ear link. However, underlying neurophysiological mechanisms remain largely unknown. In this study, we combined magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) resting-state functional imaging (fMRI) to investigate auditory gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) glutamate (Glu) levels, intra- inter-network connectivity, their relationships with function in 51 patients well-matched...
Abstract Diffusion models (DMs) are a type of potential generative models, which have achieved better effects in many fields than traditional methods. DMs consist two main processes: one is the forward process gradually adding noise to original data until pure Gaussian noise; other reverse removing generate samples conforming target distribution. optimize application results through iterative processing process. However, this greatly increases computational and storage costs training...
Presbycusis (PC) is associated with cognitive decline and incident dementia. Speech reception thresholds (SRT) are used to assess speech detection, which points toward a central component of PC. However, our knowledge, no previous study has reported the relationship between SRT function in older adults Han Chinese cohort. Therefore, this study, we investigate association hearing loss, indexed using pure tone average (PTA) SRT, cohort standardized neurocognitive battery. Subjects (aged ≥ 60...
This study investigates the effects of bilingual proficiency on word recognition and recall across different memory tasks, with a focus Chinese–English bilinguals. Participants learned lists words in either their L1 (Chinese) or L2 (English) language while performing semantic judgment task. Their for was subsequently assessed using three distinct tasks: task (Experiment 1), picture endorsement 2), free 3). The results revealed significant advantage recognition, as evidenced by higher hit...
<h3>BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE:</h3> Presbycusis is the most common sensory deficit in aging population. A recent study reported using a DTI-based tractography technique to identify lack of integrity portion auditory pathway patients with presbycusis. The aim our was investigate white matter pathology presbycusis by voxel-based analysis that highly sensitive local intensity changes DTI data. <h3>MATERIALS METHODS:</h3> Fifteen and 14 age- sex-matched healthy controls were scanned on 3T scanner....
Although pitch reception poses a great challenge for individuals with cochlear implants (CIs), formal auditory training (e.g., high variability phonetic [HVPT]) has been shown to provide direct benefits in pitch-related perceptual performances such as lexical tone recognition CI users. As tones spoken language are expressed multitude of distinct spectral, temporal, and intensity cues, it is important determine the sources The purpose present study was conduct rigorous fine-scale evaluation...
Purpose: This study builds upon an established effective training method to investigate the advantages of high variability phonetic identification for enhancing lexical tone perception and production in Mandarin-speaking pediatric cochlear implant (CI) recipients, who typically face ongoing challenges these areas. Method: Thirty-two children with CIs were quasirandomly assigned into group (TG) control (CG). The 16 TG participants received five sessions (HVPT) within a period 3 weeks. CG did...
Presbycusis (PC) is characterized by preferential hearing loss at high frequencies and difficulty in speech recognition noisy environments. Previous studies have linked PC to cognitive impairment, accelerated decline incident Alzheimer’s disease. However, the neural mechanisms of impairment patients with remain unclear. Although resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI) explored low-frequency oscillation (LFO) connectivity or amplitude PC-related activity, it remains...
Age-related hearing loss (ARHL) is a kind of symmetrical and slow sensorineural loss, which common condition in older adults. The characteristic ARHL beginning the high-frequency region spreading toward low-frequency with age. Previous studies have linked it to anxiety, suggesting that brain structure may be involved compensatory plasticity after partial deprivation. However, neural mechanisms underlying ARHL-related anxiety remain unclear. purpose this cross-sectional study was explore...
Touch is a fundamental resource mobilized by clinicians in physical examinations outpatient clinical consultations. However, few studies have been conducted to explore the sequential organization of touch interactional process where clinicians' launched and responded Chinese medical settings. Based on collection video recordings naturally occurring clinician-patient interaction an orthopedic clinic China, we observed four types examination framework: guiding touch, diagnostic demonstrative...
This study primarily aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of high variability phonetic training (HVPT) for children with cochlear implants (CIs) via cross-modal transfer perceptual learning lexical tone production, a scope that has been largely neglected by previous research. Sixteen CI participants received five-session HVPT within period three weeks, whereas another 16 were recruited without receiving any formal training. Lexical production was assessed picture naming task before provision...
Purpose: Cochlear implants (CIs) provide significant benefits for profoundly deaf children in their language and cognitive development. However, it remains unclear whether Mandarin-speaking young with early implantation can develop age-equivalent phonological awareness (PA) skill working memory (WM) capacity as normal hearing (NH) peers. The aim of this study was to investigate PA WM preschool-aged or without loss examine the relationship between two basic skills. Method: data were collected...
To observe the regulatory effects of acupoint electric stimulation on analgesic substances and relevant indices nerve-immunity-endocrine system in patients undergoing general anesthesia anorectal operation.One hundred fifty-six hemorrhoids anal fistula operation were randomized into three groups, 146 cases included analysis. In No.1 group (48 cases), conventional intravenous was applied. No.2 (50 besides anesthesia, transcutaneous combined at Neiguan (PC 6), Shenmen (HT 7), Shangliao (BL 31)...
Previous case reports describe the reversal of phrenic nerve blockade from interscalene block using normal saline injectate washout. This randomized clinical trial aimed to evaluate whether wash out local anesthetic an catheter would restore and diaphragm function, while preserving analgesia.Institutional review board approval, registration consent were obtained for patients undergoing shoulder surgery with catheter. 16 receive three 10 mL aliquots (intervention group, n=8) or sham...
The Strain Theory of Suicide and mental disorders proposes that psychological strains precede suicidal behaviors psychiatric disorders. This study was designed to test the theory with a large sample suicide notes collected from Tasmania, Australia. content 261 analyzed for presence four strains. It found 39.6% had at least one strains, aspiration coping being most prevalent. We then compared ratings thwarted belonging perceived burdensomeness strain associated belonging, while deprivation...
This study primarily aimed to investigate the benefits of an established perceptual training in production lexical tones for Mandarin-speaking preschoolers with cochlear implants (CIs). Thirty-two pediatric CI recipients were tested this study. Half child participants received five sessions high variability phonetic (HVPT) within a period three weeks, whereas other half served as control who did not receive formal training. Production Mandarin was recorded before provision (pretest) and...

Studies have shown structural alterationsin brain regions associated with hearing and function presbycusis patients. However, neural mechanisms linking structure loss impairment remain unclear. This study investigated neuroanatomical alterations auditory functions. A total of 67 patients 68 normal-hearing controls underwent magnetic resonance imaging, assessment, assessment. were divided into...
