11. Generation of cell diversity in the developing brainstem and its modeling in vitro
Abstract : The intersection of spatial and temporal patterning programs underlies the formation of neural cell type diversity in the developing central nervous system (CNS). Deciphering the molecular mechanisms regulating positional and temporal patterning provides a basic framework for how the developing brain can be functionally assembled, and the growing knowledge about these patterning mechanisms offer a powerful tool to effectively control the differentiation of pluripotent stem cells (PSCs) into different neuronal subtypes of clinical importance.

12. Time-related Aspects of Otoprotection : Experimental Studies in Rat
Abstract : Intratympanic injection of various otoprotectants through the round window membrane (RWM) might become available in the near future as an alternative to the currently available medical and surgical methods used to treat several inner ear diseases. The most common outcome of such diseases is sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL). READ MORE

13. Effects of iron supplementation on iron status, health and neurological development in marginally low birth weight infants
Abstract : Background Due to small iron stores and rapid growth during the first months of life, infants with low birth weight (LBW) are at risk of iron deficiency (ID). ID in infancy is associated with irreversible impaired neurodevelopment. READ MORE

14. The Round Window Membrane - Gateway to the Cochlea : A Morphological and Electrophysiological study
Abstract : Topical treatment of several inner ear diseases through the round window membrane (RWM) might be feasible in the near future. Bacteria toxins, ototoxic drugs and noise trauma seem to harm the inner ear by a common pathway which involves, excessive outflow of the afferent neurotransmitter glutamate and formation of nitric oxide (NO), which can severely damage cells/nerve endings and lead to cell death.

15. Topical anesthesia of the tympanic membrane : an experimental animal study
Abstract : Myringotomy plays an important role in otological therapy. The procedure requires an efficient anesthesia, which can be obtained without general anesthesia. However, the use of local anesthetics on the tympanic membrane (TM) has been abandoned in many places, as general anesthesia has been readily available. READ MORE
