Interaural Correlation Fails to Account for Detection in a Classic Binaural Task: Dynamic ITDs Dominate N0Sπ Detection
Email this article to a colleague.

Discuss or comment on this article.
Abstract Binaural signal detection in an NoSπ task relies on interaural disparities introduced by adding an antiphasic signal to diotic
noise. What metric of interaural disparity best predicts performance? Some models use interaural correlation; others differentiate
between dynamic interaural time differences (ITDs) and interaural level differences (ILDs) of the effective stimulus. To examine
the relative contributions of ITDs and ILDs in binaural detection, we developed a novel signal processing technique that selectively
degrades different aspects (potential cues) of binaural stimuli (e.g., only ITDs are ...

Discuss or comment on this article.
In conclusion our data support the hypothesis that once NIHL has manifested, it tends to worsen slightly with continued noise
exposure and that progressive hearing loss is chiefly due to aging. However, in individuals with NIHL, age-related hearing
loss is significantly less at frequencies damaged by noise than in non-noise-exposed individuals.

Identification of polymorphisms in the RNase3 gene and the association with allergic rhinitisEmail this article to a colleague.
Save this article to My Clippings.
Discuss or comment on this article.
Abstract Eosinophil cationic protein (ECP), a potent cytotoxic molecule, is released by activated eosinophils. ECP has been suggested
to be involved in tissue remodeling of allergic diseases. The ECP (RNase3) gene is a candidate gene in atopic diseases. RNase3 polymorphisms have been reported to have an association with atopy. We determined whether polymorphisms in the RNase3 gene are associated with allergic rhinitis in a Korean population. The Taqman assay, restriction fragment length polymorphism
(PCR-RFLP), and high-resolution melt (HRM) were used for genotyping. Three single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs...

intelligibility of speech (PLTT, FPAL), mental well-being (HADS), and perceived stigmatisation (FPAL). More than 40% of the
patients withdrew from conversation. Only one-third of all patients regularly took part in social activities. About 87% perceived
stigmatisation because of their changed voice and more than 50% felt embarrassed because of their ...

Abstract Osteoblastoma of the larynx is an extremely rare type of locally progressive and destructive tumour which is mimicking osteosarcoma
radiologically and histologically. Since prognostic and therapeutic strategies for benign osteoblastoma differ from the more
common osteosarcoma of the larynx, a meticulous pre-operative histological diagnosis is required to avoid over-therapy. We
report about two patients with osteoblastoma of the larynx with organ-saving resection and long-period follow-up without tumour
recurrence. A review of the literature detected five further osteoblastomas of the larynx, all in ...

Abstract Most ENT surgeons treat discharging ears with topical antibiotics but many may not routinely utilise ear microbiology specimens.
One reason could be that ear microbiology reports may not reflect their usual therapeutic options. This paper explores how
microbiology departments in England process ear swabs. We carried out a telephone questionnaire of 104 microbiology departments
in England. Results were obtained from 95 hospitals. Various culture methods are used, with sensitivity testing for up to
51 different antibiotics. Only five are licensed for topical use. Systemic antibiotics seemed to be pref...

salvage surgery should be considered when possible.

injections of gradually ascending dosages of the allergen extract in weekly intervals) followed by the dose-maintenance period.
However, dosage schedules are not commonly standardized yet. Cluster-SIT is an accelerated proce...

Surgery continues to be a mainstay in the management of patients with obstructive sleep apnea. The only 100% cure for upper airway obstruction is the tracheostomy, first described for this use by Kuhlo et al in 1969. Because of the numerous comorbidities associated with tracheostomy, most patients are reluctant to undergo this procedure. The standard of care currently follows a 2-stage surgical approach, as put forth by the Riley-Powell Stanford protocol. Stage I involves a combinations of procedures including uvulopalatopharyngoplasty, nasal surgery, surgery of the base of the tongue, hyoid suspension, and anterior mandib...

Alveolar distraction osteogenesis has become widely used for the reconstruction of the alveolar ridge when rehabilitation with dental implants is required. Particularly in the anterior maxilla, to satisfy the high esthetic demands, requires not only well-anchored implants, but also sufficient soft and hard tissue to achieve natural-looking results. With the alveolar distraction technique, both bone and soft tissue augmentation can be achieved.

Conclusions: The clinical and radiologic results of the present study have shown that a transmandibular distractor is a clinically effective bone-borne distractor for the correction of mandibular transverse deficiencies and anterior crowding. The follow-up cephalograms and CT scans showed the transverse skeletal stability of the distraction procedure and no permanent temporomandibular dysfunction. However, additional multicenter studies with more patients are necessary to precisely evaluate the long-term postdistraction changes on the skeleton, teeth, and temporomandibular joint.

Incomplete cleft palate involves a defect of the soft palate and partial hard palate, in which the cleft does not reach the incisive foramen. In most patients with incomplete cleft palate, the shape of the cleft resembles a circumflex, where the anterior part of the cleft is much narrower than the posterior part. It is easy to close a circumflex-shaped cleft without tension by the classic 2-flap technique. However, there are some cases with a wide “∩”-shaped cleft in which the anterior part of cleft is almost as wide as the posterior part. The wide ∩-shaped incomplete cleft palate is always apparent in patients wit...

Periodontal accelerated osteogenic orthodontics (PAOO) is a clinical procedure that combines selective alveolar corticotomy, particulate bone grafting, and the application of orthodontic forces. This procedure is theoretically based on the bone healing pattern known as the regional acceleratory phenomenon (RAP). PAOO results in an increase in alveolar bone width, shorter treatment time, increased post-treatment stability, and decreased amount of apical root resorption. The purpose of this article is to describe the clinical surgical procedures that comprise the PAOO procedure.

Conclusion: Fitting skeletal landmarks into a double-cross grid on posteroanterior cephalogram is an attainable guide and goal for 2-jaw orthognathic correction of facial asymmetry. Symmetry was achieved and facial profile was improved after surgery and remained stable afterward. The decrease of intergonial width indicated considerable remodeling of the bilateral gonial angle after surgery.

A New Reliable Method for Alveolar Bone Grafting at About 6 Years of AgeEmail this article to a colleague.

When the timing of alveolar bone grafting is based on the eruptive progress of the permanent maxillary canine tooth, the surgical procedure is, by definition, delayed until the late mixed dentition phase. This treatment strategy overlooks both the crown length and the periodontal condition of the maxillary permanent incisors adjacent to the cleft defect. One should perform alveolar bone grafting at the time of eruption of the maxillary central incisor at about 5.5 to 6 years of age.

The discovery of orthognathic surgical techniques led to an explosion of the scope of oral surgery. In the latter half of the 20th century, the elucidation of the biologic basis of corrective jaw and craniofacial surgery expanded the armamentarium of surgeons and even led to a change in the name of the specialty to oral and maxillofacial surgery (OMFS). In the United States, training programs increased from 36 to 48 months to meet the educational demands of the expanded scope. The desire for additional medical and surgical training also led to innovation in the surgical residency programs of the specialty. Armed with a mor...

Safe, Efficient, and Cost-Effective Orthognathic Surgery in the Outpatient SettingEmail this article to a colleague.

Discuss or comment on this article.
There has been a dramatic decline in the number of orthognathic surgery cases over the past 15 to 20 years. This decrease is a result of several compounding factors including decreasing coverage by major medical insurance companies and increasing health care costs. The difficulty associated with making orthognathic surgery financially practical has turned the interest of many oral and maxillofacial surgeons away from orthognathic procedures. The combination of these factors has resulted in decreased availability of surgeons participating in the correction of dentofacial deformities and has forced orthodontists and patients...

In the recent past, it was not unusual to admit elective surgery patients the day before their surgery to obtain the laboratory assessment, history, and physical examination and to “settle them in” to the hospital routine. Today, outpatient surgery is the norm, and the surgeon must justify any hospital stay. Also, surgical reimbursement is much lower than in the past, and efficiency in care is needed.
