2. 1. Direct Drive Bone Conduction Stimulation: Experimental Studies on Functionality and Transmission with Focus on the Bone Conduction Implant

   Author : Cristina Rigato; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; vibrations; audiological tests; Bone Anchored Hearing Aids; Bone Conduction; comparative study; Bone Conduction Implant; transcutaneous;

   Abstract : Sound is conducted to the inner ear in two ways: by air and by bone. Air conduction (AC) hearing consists of sound waves entering the ear canal and reaching the cochlea, the main hearing organ, via the middle ear. In bone conduction (BC) hearing, instead, the transmission is through soft tissues and bone. READ MORE

4. 2. Post-Dural Puncture Headache in Obstetrics : Audiological, Clinical and Epidemiological studies

   Author : Bijan Darvish; Anil Gupta; Lars Irestedt; Gunnar Dahlgren; Sigridur Kalman; Örebro universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Accidental dural puncture; post-dural puncture headache; epidural blood patch; obstetrics; Anestesiologi; Anaesthesiology; Kirurgi; Surgery;

   Abstract : Post-dural puncture headache (PDPH) is the most common complication of obstetric epidural analgesia. The characteristic positional headache, often associated with visual, vestibular or cochlear symptoms, is severe and disabling for the parturient. The diagnosis is clinical without the possibility of confirmatory objective tests. READ MORE

5. 3. Diagnostic considerations on whiplash associated disorders

   Author : Carsten Tjell; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : Whiplash associated disorders; neck propriocepdon; oculomotor function; smooth pursuit eye movements; velocity gain; tension headache; cervical vertigo; auditory brainstem response; vestibular tests; hearing impairment; speech recognition; reading ability; cognitive function;

   Abstract : Whiplash is caused by an acceleration-/deceleration transfer of energy to the neck. It commonly occurs in motor vehicle accidents. The force may result in lesions of the cervical spine and soft tissues, which may result in many clinical manifestations: whiplash associated disorders (WAD), according to the Quebec classification.

6. 4. Hearing in children with cleft palate

   Author : Birgitta Tengroth; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Objective: The overall aim of this thesis was to collect longitudinal information about hearing thresholds and complications due to otitis media with effusion (OME) in children with cleft palate. Since OME is highly prevalent in children with cleft palate, many authors have hypothesized that the hearing loss associated to OME contributes to the delayed development of early speech and language often seen in these children.

7. 5. Exploring Cognitive Spare Capacity : Executive Processing of Degraded Speech

   Author : Sushmit Mishra; Mary Rudner; Stefan Stenfelt; Jerker Rönnberg; Thomas Lunner; Mithell S. Sommers; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : Working memory; cognitive spare capacity; updating; inhibition; Arbetsminne; kognitiv reservkapacitet; uppdatering; inhibition;

   Abstract : Cognitive resources, specifically working memory capacity are used for listening to speech, especially in noise. Cognitive resources are limited, and if listeners allocate a greater share of these resources to recovering the input signal in noise, fewer resources are available for interpreting and encoding its linguistic content.
