Abstract

This report describes a digitally controlled system for use in auditory physiology in which signal generation and data acquisition are under the control of a single microcomputer. The system is designed to generate the complex waveforms required in neuroethological studies, and is able to generate these signals at frequencies of up to 160 kHz with a resolution of 1 Hz. The system is built around a commercially available digital hardware system, and augmented with custom components to enhance operation speed, precision and flexibility.

Hearing preservation surgery in vestibular schwannoma.

OBJECTIVES: To study the effect of pre-operative hearing level and tumour size on the hearing outcome of hearing preservation surgery for vestibular schwannoma. STUDY DESIGN AND SETTING: A review of literature conducted at Gruppo Otologico, a tertiary referral centre for neurotology and skull base surgery. RESULTS: A total of 1993 patients in 16 publications addressing the topic of hearing preservation surgery in vestibular schwannoma were analysed. The American Academy of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery hearing classification system was the classification upon which we based our analysis. CONCLUSION: Defining hearing preservation as class-A hearing, there was a strong inverse relationship between pre-operative hearing and post-operative hearing levels and between tumour size and post-operative hearing levels.

Multihormonal resistance to parathyroid hormone, thyroid stimulating hormone, and other hormonal and neurosensory stimuli in patients with pseudohypoparathyroidism.

In patients with pseudohypoparathyroidism, hormonal resistance first affects parathyroid hormone (PTH), which leads to calcipenia, a decrease in renal vitamin D activation, and a tendency to bone receptor remodeling. However, because G proteins are ubiquitously distributed, multiple hormonal resistance occurs in pseudohypoparathyroidism type Ia and type Ic, impairing responses to other calciotropic hormones (PTHrP, calcitonin), TSH, and also pituitary and hypothalamic hormones, and to neurosensory stimuli. The diversity of multihormonal resistance contributes to the various phenotypes of the disease. Some clinical discomfort and medical consequences of the disease can be treated or prevented with hormone supplementation or modulation.
