Several studies have demonstrated enhanced auditory processing in the blind, suggesting that they compensate their visual impairment in part with greater sensitivity of the other senses. However, several physiological studies show that early visual deprivation can impact negatively on auditory spatial localization. Here we report for the first time severely impaired auditory localization in the...

The prognosis for benefit from use of cochlear implants in congenitally deaf adolescents, who have a long duration of profound deafness prior to implantation, has typically been low. Speech perception results for two congenitally deaf patients implanted as adolescents at the University of Melbourne/Royal Victorian Eye and Ear Hospital Clinic show that, after 12 months of experience, both patien...

The principles of cross-modal integration were investigated with an auditory-tactile illusion in sighted and congenitally blind adults. Participants had to judge the number of rapidly presented tactile stimuli, which were presented together with task-irrelevant sounds. When one tactile stimulus was accompanied by more than one tone, participants reported perceiving more than a single touch. Thi...

Jhe modern approach to child development lays mcreasing emphasis on the mother-child and family relationships for the development of the normal child. It would follow that it is of equal, if not ?reater, importance for the handicapped or severely disturbed child to be sustained by these primary relationships. Here there arises a problem, because

OBJECTIVES The outcome of pregnancy in congenitally corrected transposition of the great vessels was studied in 22 women. BACKGROUND Women with congenitally corrected transposition of the great vessels often reach childbearing age. Although reports on the outcome of pregnancy in these women are available, the number of patients is small. METHODS The medical and surgical databases at the May...

Congenitally missing teeth, the most common dental anomaly, refers to teeth whose germ did not develop sufficiently allow differentiation of tissues.
 This study aimed determine importance genetic investigations on oral health-related quality life in children with congenitally lateral incisors.
 We are presenting a performed by A.S. Division Medical Genetics, Bucharest, Romania, case ...
