abstract

objectives: auditory brain stem response (abr) is a result of eight nerve and brain stem nuclei stimulation. several factors may affect the latencies, interpeak latencies and amplitudes in abr especially sex and age. in this study, age and sex influence on abr were studied. methods: this study was performed on 120 cases (60 males and 60 females) at akhavan rehabilitation center of university of welfare and rehabilitation sciences, tehran, iran. cases were divided in three age groups: 18-30, 31-50 and 51-70 years old. each age group consists of 20 males and 20 females. age and sex influences on absolute latency of wave i and v, and ipl of i-v were examined. results: independent t test showed that females have significantly shorter latency of wave i, v, and ipl i-v latency (p<0.001) than males. two way anova showed that latency of wave i, v and ipl i-v in 51-70 years old group was significantly higher than 18-30 and 31-50 years old groups (p<0.001) discussion: according to the results of present study and similar studies, in clinical practice, different norms for older adults and both genders should be established.

بررسی شنوایی شیرخواران و کودکان مبتلا به بیماری مننژیت به وسیله آزمون‌های Auditory brain-stem response(ABR)، Evoked otoacoustic emission(EOAE) و آزمون‌های رفتاری شنوایی

    Background & Aim: Attending to the importance of hearing in development of language skills and the essence of hearing loss in meningitis as an acquired hearing loss, this study focuses on hearing assessment and early diagnosis of hearing loss. The purpose of the present study is to apply EOAE, ABR and behavioral hearing tests to evaluate audiologic condition of infants and neonates sufferin...

Effect of prenatal lignocaine on auditory brain stem evoked response.

To test the hypothesis that there would be a positive correlation between the interpeak wave (I-V) interval as measured by auditory brain stem evoked response and the ratio of umbilical cord blood arterial to venous lignocaine concentrations in infants born after maternal epidural anaesthesia, 10 normal infants born at full term by elective caesarean section were studied. Umbilical cord arteria...

Gender Specific Differences in Auditory Brain Stem Response in Young Patients with ADHD

Objective: The auditory brainstem response (ABR) is often affected in neurodevelopmental disorders. The aim of this study was to investigate gender differences in ABR between young females and young males with ADHD, compared to control subjects. Method: We studied 63 females with ADHD (mean 13.8 years), 26 female controls (mean 13.8years), 48 males with ADHD (mean 13.1 years), and 20 male contr...

on the equivalence of constructed-response and multiple-choice : stem-equivalent, stem non-equivalent but content equivalent, and stem and content non-equivalent items in reading comprehension using multifaceted rasch

the present study investigated construct equivalence of multiple choice (mc) and constructed response (cr) item types across stem and content equivalent mc and cr items (item type ‘a’), non-stem-equivalent but content equivalent mc and cr items (item type ‘b’), and non-stem and non-content equivalent mc and cr items (item type ‘c’). one hundred seventy english-major undergraduates completed mc ...
