Measurements of middle ear conducted sound pressure in the cochlear vestibule PV have been performed in only a few individuals from a few mammalian species. Simultaneous measurements of sound-induced stapes velocity VS are even more rare. We report simultaneous measurements of VS and PV in chinchillas. The VS measurements were performed using single-beam laser-Doppler vibrometry; PV was measure...

This study was aimed to determine the genetic variance of several F2 population traits maize, broad heritability values and phenotypic correlations between yields other quantitative traits. The method used is experimental method. experiment designed in a randomized block design, with 6 replications. number treatments 4 populations, namely F2, Sinta Unram, hybrid NK212 NK7328. Each planted rows,...

Introduction: Tympanoplasty is the standard and well established procedure for closure of tympanic membrane perforations .This paper compares the results of tympanoplasty in terms of hearing improvement and graft incorporation in patients with chronic perforation of the tympanic membrane between two groups with and without active drainage at the time of surgery.  Materials and Methods: Sixty re...

the aim of the current study is to investigate hearing function in patients with allergic rhinitis. fifty-eight patients with positive skin prick test (group 1) (116 ears) and    31 subjects with negative skin prick test (62 ears) as group 2 were included. pure tone audiometry at 250,500, 1000, 2000, 4000 and 8000 hz and immittance measures, including tympanometry and acoustic reflex tests, wer...

background: it is estimated that about 370 million people are chronic carriers of hbv worldwide. apparently 3% of iranian populations are chronic carriers of this virus. we aimed to evaluate the viral dna in biological fluids of chronic hepatitis patients compared to a control group. methods: the current case-control study was designed to evaluate the viral dna in biological fluids of 70 chroni...

objectives: hearing impairment in children is considered as an important public health problem. auditory function in these children is poor and depends on their hearing aids efficacy and also their ears’ status. hearing aids are very expensive and ear disease deteriorates its performance. therefore detecting the ear disease and offering proper treatment is necessary. the aim of this study is to...

for study the effect of arbuscularmycorrhiza fungi a factorial experiment in a randomized complete block design with four replications was carried out in the summer of 1389 at the agricultural research station in city of zahak. the experiment included two factors; the first factor was inoculated glomus mossea mycorrhiza and no-inoculated one. the second factor was in four varieties of corn: s.c...
