ABRs in Geriatrics Monkeys

Age-Related Hearing Loss in Rhesus Monkeys Is Correlated with Cochlear Histopathologies

Audiometric hearing deficits are a common symptom of age-related hearing loss (ARHL), as are specific histopathological changes in the cochlea; however, very little data have been collected in non-human primates. To examine this relationship further, we collected auditory brainstem responses (ABRs) from rhesus monkeys spanning in age from 10 to 35 years old, and examined four different morpholo...

Adjuvanticity of pGPL-Mc and LRS in the Immune Responses of Monkeys to Oral Immunization with Diphteria and Tetanus Toxoids

Notched-noise embedded frequency specific chirps for objective audiometry using auditory brainstem responses

It has been shown recently that chirp-evoked auditory brainstem responses (ABRs) show better performance than click stimulations, especially at low intensity levels. In this paper we present the development , test, and evaluation of a series of notched-noise embedded frequency specific chirps. ABRs were collected in healthy young control subjects using the developed stimuli. Results of the anal...

Alimentary tract parasites of vervet monkeys (Cercopithecus aethiops): A potential reservoir for human transmission

Monkeys are important experimental models for investigating human diseases. The aim of this study was to survey the alimentary tract parasites among imported vervet monkeys (Cercopithecus aethiops) to Iran. Fecal samples were collected from 40 vervets imported from Tanzania to Razi Vaccine and Serum Research Institute of Iran. Fecal samples were assessed by direct smear and Telman sedimentation...
