A European Perspective on Auditory Processing Disorder-Current Knowledge and Future Research Focus

A European Perspective on Auditory Processing Disorder-Current Knowledge and Future Research Focus

Current notions of "hearing impairment," as reflected in clinical audiological practice, do not acknowledge the needs of individuals who have normal hearing pure tone sensitivity but who experience auditory processing difficulties in everyday life that are indexed by reduced performance in other more sophisticated audiometric tests such as speech audiometry in noise or complex non-speech sound ...

Auditory Lateralization Ability in Children with (Central) Auditory Processing Disorder

Objectives: The aim of the present study was to assess the auditory lateralization ability in children with (central) auditory processing disorder. Methods: Participants were divided in two groups: 15 children with Central Auditory Processing Disorder (8-10 years) and 80 normal children (8-11 years) from both genders with pure-tone air-conduction thresholds better than 20 dB HL bilaterally a...

European Research on Knowledge and Information Management: Current Status and Future Prospects

Knowledge and Information Management has existed as a separate field of scientific research and development for almost a decade. It is therefore surprising that only few studies to date have been concerned with the identification of the current status of the field in terms of research progress, as well as an analysis of its future perspectives and research roadmaps. This paper reports on the re...

Current Diagnostic Status of Pheochromocytomaand Future Perspective: A Mini Review

Pheochromocytomas (PCCs) are rare neuroendocrine tumors. The current diagnostic tools are based on biochemistry and histopathology results, but heterogeneity of diagnostic markers, signs and symptoms of PCCs bring a lot of difficulties for these two current methods. Unfortunately microscopic understanding of PCCs is not adequate for its confident prognosis and management. There are data linking...
