Abstract Enlarged vestibular aqueduct (EVA) is a common finding in tomodensitometry. When cranial MRI performed, enlarged endolymphatic sac (EES) can also be found. Profound hearing loss these patients but few studies have investigated function after cochlear implantation (CI) EVA and EES patients. Our main objective was to find out whether children candidates CI, higher (ES) volume predictive ...

The function of experimentally induced hypertension in the formation of saccular aneurysms in rats was the subject of this study. In four group of rats, the left common carotid artery and the posterior branch of both renal arteries was Iigated in the first and third group. and only left common carotid artery in the second group. The fourth group was the control group and nothing was done. Rats ...

The masking effects of tones on the detection auditory signals were studied in goldfish using the psychophysical tuning-curve paradigm. For signals below 350 Hz, masking is an inverse function of the frequency separation between masker and signal; a finding consistent with previous masking studies on fishes, birds and mammals. For signals above 350 Hz, masking peaks occur both in the 350 Hz reg...

PURPOSE OF REVIEW This review provides an overview of vestibular function testing and highlights the new techniques that have emerged during the past 5 years. RECENT FINDINGS Since the introduction of video-oculography as an alternative to electro-oculography for the assessment of vestibular-induced eye movements, the investigation of the utricle has become a part of vestibular function testi...
