Deafferentation of the auditory nerve from loss of sensory cells is associated with degeneration of nerve fibers and spiral ganglion neurons (SGN). SGN survival following deafferentation can be enhanced by application of neurotrophic factors (NTF), and NTF can induce the regrowth of SGN peripheral processes. Cochlear prostheses could provide targets for regrowth of afferent peripheral processes...

Many domains of sociolinguistic enquiry have contributed to the development our understanding sociolinguistics sign languages, ranging from studies in language attitudes and multilingualism discourse analysis variation (see, e.g. Lucas, 2001; Schembri & 2015). Researchers used a range methodological approaches (see Kusters 2021 for an overview). Two complementary investigating languages are cor...

Zooplankton organisms with short generation times, such as rotifers, are ideal models to study general ecological and evolutionary questions on the population level, because meaningful experiments can often be completed within a couple of weeks. Yet biological analysis of such populations is often extremely time consuming, owing to abundance estimation by counting, measuring body size, or deter...

A higher SYNTAX score (SS) is strongly associated with poor prognosis in patients cardiogenic shock complicating ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (CS-STEMI). However, the predictive value of culprit-lesion (cul-SS) and SS has not been compared although culprit-lesion-only primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) strategy showed improved long-term survival recently. This study ...

There has been a long-held misconception among historians of philosophy and science that apart from brief comments in Aristotle and Averroes, the theory of minima naturalia had to await Latin Schoolmen for its full articulation. Recently scholars have shown that far from sporadic comments on minima naturalia, Averroes in fact had a fully developed and well-integrated theory of them. in this stu...
