The results of the use of clarion implants in 30 Indian patients have been evaluated. Cases included in the study were prelingual & postlingual patients where the cochlea was normal and prelingual patients where the cochlea had a Mondini defect or was ossified. It was found that multiple speech strategies available with the Clarion implant […]
Objective: This work intends to find hearing loss or audiometric shifts in a group of telemarketing operators.
At the Psychiatric Clinic of Szeged we began a comprehensive investigation with the aim of etiological sub-grouping of schizophrenia. As work hypothesis we treat schizophrenia as a progressive neurodevelopmental, multi-factorial long latency period disorder with notable genetic definiteness whose development and existence also significantly involves the influence of the environment. This disorder is heterogeneous clinically […]
The goal of this assay is to establish if sound intensity is too high in the practice of odontology and if a group of dentists know and protect themselves from noise induced hearing loss.
Introduction: Acupuncture is a therapeutic technique based on the concepts of the Traditional Chinese Medicine, which mechanism of action could be explained by the efferent nervous system from stimulation of specific points on the body surface. Aim: The objective is to study the acupuncture effects in the treatment of tinnitus, and the changes provoked on […]
This work intends to find hearing loss or audiometric shifts in a group of elementary students and intensity of noise to which these students are exposed.
The developement of new cochlear implant devices allows the opportunity to use more sophisticated speech encoding strategies. The Nucleus 24 channels cochlear implant system offers the possibility to compare different strategies within the same patient. The aim of this study was to determine the optimal map by changing the three available speech encoding strategies (SPEAK, […]
The purpose of this work was to evaluate if a stimulus reptition rate that is higher than 30 clicks/sec increases the sensitivity of the absolute latencies of waves I, III and V and interpeak intervals I-III, III-V and I-V in the Auditory Brainstem Responses.(ABR) of Multiple Sclerosis (MS) patients.
The aim of this study was to elaborate an algorithm of the detection of brainstem lesion according BAEP changes. The following questions were raised for this purpose: 1) which interpretation strategy of BAEP changes selects the most patients with brainstem lesions? 2) which BAEP abnormalities differentiate between mass lesions of posterior fossa and demyelinating encephalomyelitis? […]
Advances in basic research in neurosciences and the introduction of new non-invasive techniques, that make possible the detection of weak signals of the brain, have revolutionized diagnosis and treatment. The most often used methods for functional imaging of the human brain are positron emission tomography (PET) and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). More recently, a […]
