INTRODUCTION The daf is a large Persian frame drum used as a musical instrument in both popular and classical music which can induce a percussive sound at low frequencies (146-290 Hz) with peaks of up to 130 dBspl. The percussive sounds have a power distribution in the region of saccular sensitivity. In view of the saccular stimulation by sound in humans, we decided to use cervical vestibular-e...

CONCLUSION The saccular duct and endolymphatic sinus run in the bony groove, before reaching the orifice of the vestibular aqueduct. We first clinically visualized this sulciform groove using three-dimensional (3D) cone beam CT images. This strategy can be useful to assess the condition of the saccular duct and endolymphatic sinus concerning the longitudinal flow system of endolymph. OBJECTIV...

Many extremely preterm infants continue to suffer from bronchopulmonary dysplasia, which results from abnormal saccular-stage lung development. Here, we show that fibroblast growth factor-10 (FGF-10) is required for saccular lung development and reduced in the lung tissue of infants with bronchopulmonary dysplasia. Although exposure to bacteria increases the risk of bronchopulmonary dysplasia, ...

t rue saccular aneurysm is exceptional in coarctation of aorta in children. a 6-year-old girl with headache and systemic arterial hypertension referred to our center for cardiovascular evaluation. physical examination revealed high blood pressure and weak lower extremity pulses. two-dimensional and doppler echocardiography and angiography demonstrated a saccular aneurysm of the descending aorta...

The purpose of this study was to investigate the factors associated with symptomatic neurologic complications in solitary pulmonary arteriovenous malformations (PAVMs). Patient data were obtained from 14 institutions. Data 207 patients (28 men, 179 women; median age, 65 years; age range, 9–94 years) who diagnosed a PAVM by CT between 2004 and 2020 analyzed. Of these, 104 underwent treatment 103...

Objectives: The aim of present study was evaluation of saccule function in cochlear implant candidates with severe to profound sensory neural hearing loss Before and after cochlear implantation Methods: In this study 35 cochlear implant (CI) candidates with bilateral severe to profound sensory neural hearing loss before and about 30 days after cochlear implant and 20 normal-hearing cases as ...
