This book covers some innovative aspects of the multifaceted and continuously evolving field of rehabilitation of hearing loss. International leading experts share their view and advanced experience on unilateral deafness, services for the hard of hearing, hair cell regeneration, advanced imaging, active middle ear and bone conduction hearing aids, and cochlear implants.
Preface It was a great privilege and honour for me and my deputy chairman Professor Chris Raine to host the 10th International Conference on Cholesteatoma and Ear Surgery (Chole2016) in Edinburgh, Scotland. The Council of the British Society of Otology has helped me tremendously in the preparation of this conference. Over 1000 delegates from 54 countries attended Chole2016 on 5-8 June 2016. The scientific programme included 12 keynote lectures on the basic science of chronic ear diseases; 23 national symposium; 41 round tables; two live temporal bone dissections; 14 video instructional sessions; 18 free paper sessions and poster presentations. I sincerely thank all the faculties who contribu...
In order to select and develop an appropriate therapy, it is essential to have an understanding of the anatomy, function and pathology of the organs involved, as well as the mechanisms of a disease. The second edition of this two volume set has been fully updated and gives special emphasis to structure, function, pathogenesis and research. Written by international experts, the atlas discusses new developments in otology, such as genetics and molecular biology, and includes a complete section on anatomy, histology, dissection, sculpturing and surgical procedures of temporal bones. Nearly 1600 detailed illustrations, figures and histology material including electron microscopy, assist understanding. A DVD featuring real cases and surgical procedures is also provided.
Vestibular medicine relates to the assessment, diagnosis, and treatment of patients with dizziness and vertigo. In all these fields, there has been an enormous increase in research during recent years. This edition includes a discussion on the epidemiology of dizziness, the role of genetics in the development of vestibulopathy, diagnostic approaches, and interventions for patients with dizziness and vertigo: medical treatment, surgery, and vestibular rehabilitation.
There is a high prevalence of 'unknown' cases or misdiagnosed patients with bilateral vestibulopathy. With systematic review articles, review articles, and research articles this special topic issue of 'Audiology and Neurotology' aims to increase the quality of life of the patients and to reduce the cost of falls. What is outstanding about this issue is that it presents the most recent review of the latest clinical results from most of the important research centers all over the world relating to this new topic: the electrical stimulation of the vestibular system. The vestibular labyrinths, saccule and utricle, provide sensory input to neural circuits that facilitate accurate perception of s...
Progress in cochlear implant research has, over the years, been chronicled in the International Cochlear Implant Conference, the premiere venue for the dissemination and face-to-face discussion of state-of-the-art research on all aspects of cochlear implantation in both adults and children. This volume is a compilation of papers presented at the the 2004 symposium.
This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-conference proceedings of the 6th International Joint Conference on Biomedical Engineering Systems and Technologies, BIOSTEC 2013, held in Barcelona, Spain, in February 2013. The 28 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from a total of 392 submissions. The papers cover a wide range of topics and are organized in four general topical sections on biomedical electronics and devices; bioinformatics models, methods and algorithms; bio-inspired systems and signal processing; health informatics.
