MicroRNAs and Presbycusis
Presbycusis (age-related hearing loss) is the most universal sensory degenerative disease in elderly people caused by the degeneration of cochlear cells. Non-coding microRNAs (miRNAs) play a fundamental role in gene regulation in almost every multicellular organism, and control the aging processes. It has been identified that various miRNAs are up- or down-regulated during mammalian aging proce...
متن کاملMetabolic and biochemical considerations of bone.
Recognition of the dynamic aspects of bone metabolism can lead to a unified concept involving endocrine and nutritional influences. Although most hormones can influence bone metabolism directly or indirectly, the principal ones involved in skeletal metabolism are parathyroid hormone, calcitonin and 1,25-dihydroxy-vitamin D. The actions of parathyroid hormone and 1,25-dihydroxy-vitamin D result ...
متن کاملGenetics of presbycusis and presbystasis.
Presbycusis and presbystasis represent relevant problems of aging, caused by the increase in life expectancy in developed countries. As such, it is advantageous to better understand the physiopathological mechanisms of these age-related inner ear diseases. The hypothesis that presbycusis and presbystasis have a genetic background was proposed some years ago. Several studies (in humans and anima...
متن کاملManagement of tinnitus in patients with presbycusis.
Sensorineural hearing loss in elderly patients (presbycusis) relatively often coexists with annoying tinnitus (termed presbytinnitus [PT] by Claussen). The purpose of this study was to verify the conditions of improvement in patients treated for PT. We fitted with hearing aids 33 PT patients (ages 60-89 years) and questioned them about subjective hearing results. Assessment tools included compr...
متن کاملPresbycusis: A Critical Issue in Our Community
Hearing is an important sensation to the elderly as it promotes their quality of life and maintains their safety and wellness. For example, healthy hearing lets the elderly catch alarm sounds, stay alert to danger whilst asleep, listen in the dark, detect sounds from behind, communicate efficiently with other people, and maintain links to the world via telephone and radio, especially after reti...
