    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Vestibular schwannoma; Hearing loss; Inner ear; Proteome; Perilymph; Endolymph; Furosemide; NKCC1; Fetuin-A; Complement component factor-H realted protein 2; CFHR2; Inflammation; MRI; Oto-Rhino-Laryngology; Oto-rhino-laryngologi; Medical Cell Biology; Medicinsk cellbiologi;

    Abstract : Hearing is important in many aspects of life, including communication, assessing one’s surroundings, entertainment and social interaction. Hearing loss is common and according to the Global Burden of Disease Study, 5% of the global population require hearing rehabilitation (1). READ MORE

  4. 2. Middle ear mechanics : using temporal bone experiments to improve clinical methods

    Author : Anton Rönnblom; Krister Tano; Magnus Von Unge; Mimmi Werner; Måns Eeg-Olofsson; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Middle ear; conductive hearing loss; ossiculoplasty; human temporal bone; Laser doppler vibrometry; malleus fracture; middle ear muscles; muscle fiber composition; Oto-Rhino-Laryngology; oto-rhino-laryngologi;

    Abstract : BackgroundThe middle ear transmits and amplifies sound vibrations from the tympanic membrane via three ossicles to the inner ear. Moreover, it contains two muscles, the stapedius muscle (SM) which protects the inner ear from loud noise, and the tensor tympani (TT) whose function is still debated. READ MORE

  5. 3. Applications of organ culture of the mouse inner ear

    Author : Diana Berggren; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; organ culture; embryonic inner ear; intercellular junctions; aminoglycosides; statoacoustic ganglion; intermediate filaments; collagen; endolymph;

    Abstract : The embryonic mouse inner ear was used as a model with which to study ototoxicity and tissue interactions. The inner ear anlage can be explanted and cultured in vitro from about the 12th gestational day (gd), and will differentiate parallel with the inner ear developing in vivo until a time corresponding to birth (21st gd).

  6. 4. Tissue engineering of the inner ear

    Author : Shaden Khalifa; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Our knowledge of the regenerative ability of the auditory system is still inadequate. Moreover, new treatment techniques for hearing impairment using cochlear implant and tissue engineering, call for further investigations. READ MORE

  7. 5. Local pharmacological treatment of inner ear disorders

    Author : Cecilia Engmér Berglin; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Hearing disorders are among the top 10 in terms of burden of disease in middle- and high-income countries, affecting 250 million people worldwide. During the last few decades researchers have made significant advances in understanding the basic mechanisms and molecular biology of inner ear diseases. READ MORE
