  2. 16. Invasive haemophilus influenzae infection. Clinical, immunologic and pathogenic aspects

    Author : Svante Hugosson; Sweden Gothenburg University of Gothenburg; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Haemophilus influenzae; epidemiology; mortality; vaccination; epiglottitis; meningitis; hearing loss; neuropsychology immunology; physiopathology; adhesion;

    Abstract : Invasive Haemophilus influenzae (Hi) infection, predominantly manifested as acute meningitis and epiglottitis, is a serious disease with associated mortality and residual handicap. Prevention of the disease is possible by vaccination against Hi serotype b (Hib). READ MORE

  4. 17. Ear and hearing problems in Turner syndrome

    Author : Annika Elmqvist Stenberg; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Turner syndrome; tympanic membrane pathology; hearing loss; otitis media; estrogen receptors; presbyacusis; immunology; mouse; rat; human; cochlea; psychosocial; audiometric testing.;

    Abstract : Turner Syndrome is a common chromosomal disorder and affects approximately one in every 2000 newborn girl. The syndrome is defined as a total (45,X) or partial loss of the second sex chromosome in combination with the typical characteristic features, which are short stature (less than 150 cm), absent estrogen production due to ovarian dysgenesis, with failure to enter puberty spontaneously and infertility.

  5. 18. Usher syndrome. Prevalence and phenotype - genotype correlations

    Author : Mehdi Sadeghi; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : deafblindness; Usher syndrome; retinitis pigmentosa; prevalence; Usher type I; Usher type II; Usher type III; vestibular deficiency; hereditary hearing loss;

    Abstract : Aims: the main purpose of this thesis was to estimate the prevalence of Usher syndrome type I, II and III in Sweden (study I) and to determine the clinical differences between Usher syndrome subtypes (studies II-IV). The hypothesis to be tested was that different genes for Usher syndrome will produce different phenotypes even when they belong to the same clinical type (studies II and III). READ MORE

  6. 19. Hearing by Bone Conduction. Physical and Physiological Aspects

    Author : Stefan Stenfelt; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY;

    Abstract : Bone conduction as a phenomenon, physically and physiologically, is of vital importance in both the diagnosis of a hearing impairment and the development of bone conduction hearing aids. Understanding hearing by bone conduction is difficult, involving sound transmission by wave motion in a complex geometrical structure of layered bone covered with soft tissue and cartilage, finally received by the highly delicate cochlea.

  7. 20. The Human Cochlea and Cochlear Implantation : Morphological Characteristics and Clinical Correlations

    Author : Nadine Schart-Morén; Helge Rask-Andersen; Elina Mäki-Torkko; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; cochlear implantation; micro-CT; synchrotron; facial nerve stimulation; hearing preservation; round window;

    Abstract : The most common sensory deficit in the world is sensorineural hearing loss. Cochlear implantation (CI) can majorly contribute to restore hearing, not only in patients with severe to profound hearing loss, but also in hearing-impaired patients with residual low-frequency hearing.
