Numerous high elevation tropical mountains around the world show evidence of past glacial activity during Last Glacial Maximum (LGM). Cerro Chirripó in Costa Rica exhibits paleoglacial landforms such as cirques, moraine deposits and polished striated bedrock surfaces. We used aerial imagery (1:25000) contour lines to develop a Digital Elevation Model (DEM) for LGM. determined paleo-equilibrium ...

Objective: In our study, it was aimed to compare the newborn screening ABR (Auditory Brainstem Responses, AABR) results of babies mothers who had COVID-19 disease during pregnancy and did not have disease.
 
 Methods: Newborns underwent hearing tests in …. Hospital Audiology Unit between April 2019 September 2021 were included newborns whose called Group 1, those 2. Statistical differ...

The pattern and magnitude of glacier equilibrium-line altitude (ELA) lowerings in the tropics during the last glacial maximum (LGM) are topics of current debate. In the northern tropics, paleo-ELA data are particularly limited, inhibiting the ability to make regional and large-scale paleoclimatic inferences. To improve these records, nine paleo-glaciers in the Venezuelan Andes were reconstructe...

AIM To report the preliminary findings of a pilot program to screen newborn babies for congenital bilateral permanent hearing loss. SETTING The five largest maternity hospitals in Perth, Western Australia. Screening was gradually introduced over seven months from February to August 2000. PARTICIPANTS All babies born at these hospitals after the introduction of hearing screening until 30 Jun...

BACKGROUND Wideband reflectance (WBR) provides important information about middle ear function and can explain variations in how the middle ear receives, absorbs, and transmits sound energy across a wide range of frequencies. However, as of yet, few normative studies have been published to guide clinicians in the practical applications of WBR. WBR has been measured more extensively in well babi...

In the Western Carpathians, clear evidence of Pleistocene glaciations only occurs in two mountain massifs – Tatra and Low Mountains. The Mountains (2043 m a.s.l.), contrary to higher more strongly glaciated (2654 have previously been much less attractive for scientific research. Hence, these mountains, both glacial landforms chronology, together with a detailed reconstruction glacier geometry r...
