• Genetic increases in olfactory bulb BDNF do not enhance survival of adult-born granule cells

  AbstractAdult-born neurons produced in the dentate gyrus subgranular zone (SGZ) develop as excitatory hippocampal granule cells (GCs), while those from the subventricular zone (SVZ) migrate to the olfactory bulb (OB), where most develop as GABAergic olfactory GCs. Both types of neurons express TrkB as they mature. Normally ~50% of new olfactory GCs survive, but survival declines if sensory drive is reduced. Increases in endogenous brain-derived n

• Regional variation of bitter taste and aftertaste in humans

  AbstractDespite widespread and persistent myths of a tongue map, all five prototypical taste qualities are sensed over the entire tongue. However, modern psychophysical data also suggest there may be more nuanced differences in suprathreshold intensity across oral loci, especially for bitterness. Here, we test whether bitter stimuli matched for whole-mouth intensity differ in perceived intensity across regions of the oral cavity in two experiment

  Abstract Arytenoid adduction is an effective surgical approach for physiological adduction of the paralyzed vocal cord. However, to access arytenoid cartilage, conventional surgical techniques require resecting of the extrinsic laryngeal muscles, pharyngeal constrictor muscles, external branch of the superior laryngeal nerve, and cricothyroid muscles [1,2] Extrinsic laryngeal muscles and pharyngeal constrictor muscles play an important role in s

• Value of clinical data and positional testing in patients with positional vertigo

  Abstract Among patients with positive nystagmus during positional testing, definite BPPV accounts for only 65.4%. The main finding in this clinical study comparing patients with definite BPPV and patients with non‐definite BPPV is that positional vertigo attacks in patients with non‐definite BPPV can be distinguished from those in patients with definite BPPV on the basis of spontaneous nystagmus, posthead‐shaking nystagmus, nystagmus intensity

• An estimation of smoking history in patients who consume loose and smokeless tobacco products

  Abstract Exposure to tobacco increases the risk and severity of many health conditions including head and neck cancer. Smoking history can be ascertained in a number of ways, including age of commencement, recency, intensity (packs per day) and lifetime exposure (pack years). One pack year equates to smoking 20 ready‐made cigarettes per day for one year. However, tobacco may also be smoked in other ready‐made forms like cigarillos and cigars or

• Surgical management of spontaneous temporal bone cerebrospinal fluid leaks: results of a strategy based on defect location. A bicentric retrospective study of 44 cases

  Abstract Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leaks of the temporal bone may be traumatic, iatrogenic, or spontaneous. The main risk of these CSF leaks is the occurrence of meningitis or of other intracranial infectious complication (1). Unlike traumatic CSF leaks, that usually stop spontaneously, iatrogenic and spontaneous leaks require a surgical closure (2). Some authors advocate a transmastoid approach, while others recommend a middle cranial fossa (MC
