Deletion of the SHORT Syndrome Gene Prkce Results in Brain Atrophy and Cognitive and Motor Behavior Deficits in Mice.

Neurosci Bull

The neurological manifestations of SHORT syndrome include intrauterine growth restriction, microcephaly, intellectual disability, hearing loss, and speech delay. SHORT syndrome is generally believed to be caused by PIK3R1 gene mutations and impaired PI3K-AKT activation. Recently, a clinical case report described a SHORT syndrome with a novel mutant in PRKCE gene encoding protein kinase Cε (PKCε).

Tinnitus, the auditory perception of sound without an external environmental stimulus, affects 15% of the human population and is associated with hearing loss. Interestingly, anxiety may be a significant risk factor in tinnitus pathophysiology potentially due to underlying common neural circuits of the auditory and limbic systems. The current study aimed to investigate the effects of stress-induced anxiety on tinnitus development in a rat model.

Aims: Our review aimed to determine the prevalence of - and factors associated with - hearing loss, oral and olfactory disease, frozen shoulder, trigger finger, and hair loss in young adults with type 1 diabetes. These conditions were selected based on research team interests, existing literature, and group discussion.

Methods: We conducted a quantitative narrative review using a systematic process to identify cohort and cross-sectional studies involving young adults with type 1 diabetes (mean age 18-30 years).

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the communication success of partners with matched or mixed neurotypes and to explore how these differences influence the identification of neurotypes during interactions.

Method: Thirty-three autistic adults and 37 non-autistic adults were paired in either a matched-neurotype or mixed-neurotype condition and were not told their assigned condition. The pairs completed two structured communication tasks (20 questions and tangram identification), for which accuracy and efficiency of completion were measured.

[Lost in translation-an investigation of listening effort and performance in cochlear implant users in first and foreign language settings].

Hörzentrum Düsseldorf, Klinik für Hals-Nasen-Ohrenheilkunde, Medizinische Fakultät und Universitätsklinikum Düsseldorf, Heinrich-Heine-Universität Düsseldorf, Moorenstr. 5, 40225, Düsseldorf, Deutschland.

Background And Objective: Speech comprehension in a foreign language under noise conditions presents an increased cognitive demand. For multilingual patients with cochlear implants (PwCI), this poses a particular challenge, as audiological routine diagnostics are typically conducted in the language of the clinical environment. This study investigates speech understanding in noise as well as the subjectively perceived listening effort in PwCI compared to normal-hearing (NH) individuals under both native and nonnative language conditions.
