Comparison of the extratympanic electrocochleography in human and rabbit

Authors: not saved
Abstract:

  Electrocochleography (ECoG) records the electrophysiologic activity of the most peripheral part of the auditory system, the inner ear cochlea and the 8th nerve. Auditory evoked potentials being recorded are Cochlear Microphonic (CM) and Summating Potential (AP). In order to provide the proper background for laboratory research and introducing an ECoG curve of a model animal, it was decided to record the ECoG from rabbit. Rabbits of either sex weighting about 2 kg (n=25) were experimented upon. Evoked auditory potentials to clicks of 75 and 85 dB were analyzed off-line and compared with human data obtained from a clinical audiometry laboratory. The results are as followed: -SP/AP amplitude and latency showed no significant difference in either intensities, in rabbit. -SP and AP amplitude and latency were significantly greater in rabbit. -The ratio of SP/AP amplitude and latency in rabbit and human indicated no differences. -AP amplitude in 75 dB intensity was greater in the right ear compared with the left (p ≤0.05) however, in other cases, amplitude of waves was greater in the left ear (p ≤0.05).

Comparison of Transtympanic and Extratympanic Electrocochleography

Electrocochleography (ECoG) has been an important tool in the diagnosis of Meniere’s disease or endolymphatic hydrops. There are two methods employed, transtympanic and extratympanic. Many have regarded the results of these methods as being equally reliable. The purpose of this study is to determine any differences in sensitivity between the two methods. In this study patients with known endoly...

[Extratympanic electrocochleography in Ménière's disease].

INTRODUCTION Electrocochleography is the registration of an electrophysiological event which takes place in the cochlea after an acoustical stimulus. Most of the authors consider an increased summating potential (SP)/action potential (AP) ratio as characteristic of endolymphatic hydrops. METHODS A longitudinal, prospective study of a unilateral Ménière's population diagnosed according to the ...

Extratympanic electrocochleography in the diagnosis of auditory neuropathy/auditory dyssynchrony.

UNLABELLED The brainstem auditory evoked potential (BAEP) is being extensively used as a method for the evaluation of cochlear function in individuals with diagnosis of auditory neuropathy/auditory dyssynchrony (AN/AD). In the absence of otoacoustic emissions, many cases of AN/AD have been diagnosed by the presence of CM identified in the BAEP. AIM to demonstrate the clinical applicability of...

Simultaneous Extratympanic Electrocochleography and Auditory Brainstem Responses Revisited

The purpose of this study was to revisit the two-channel, simultaneous click-evoked extratympanic electrocochleography and auditory brainstem response (ECoG/ABR) recording technique for clinical use in normal hearing participants. Recording the compound action potential (AP) of the ECoG simultaneously with ABR may be useful when Wave I of the ABR is small or diminished in patients with sensorin...

comparison of catalytic activity of heteropoly compounds in the synthesis of bis(indolyl)alkanes.

heteropoly acids (hpa) and their salts have advantages as catalysts which make them both economically and environmentally attractive, strong br?nsted acidity, exhibiting fast reversible multi-electron redox transformations under rather mild conditions, very high solubility in polar solvents, fairly high thermal stability in the solid states, and efficient oxidizing ability, so that they are imp...
