Audiometric profile of cochlear implant recipients

Objectives: Describe the population of cochlear implant (CI) recipients in one hospital across 9 years. Study design: Retrospective Material & methods: Hearing evaluation before and after cochlear implantation was obtained using tonal and vocal audiometry (each ear individually and sound field). Cases not suitable for conventional audiometry were tested using visual reinforcement audiometry or Brain Evoked ...

Auditory Brainstem Response in Neonatal Hyperbilirubinemia

Objective: To establish the changes in auditory brainstem responses (ABR) associated to neonatal hyperbilirubinemia in term infants. Study design: Retrospective study.

Biodiversity of toxigenic fungi in the food chain and the co-occurrence of myco...

Filamentous fungi are ubiquitous in Nature and may be found in any food crop, either in the field or during storage. With the exponential growth of the population, there is a worldwide challenge to reduce food losses. Food contamination by fungicauses great economic costs and seve ral health threats due to the toxicity and pathogenicity of some species. The biodiversity of this community, and the dynamics of th...

Active whey protein edible films and coatings incorporating Lactobacillus buchn...

Fungal contamination of food is responsible for health issues and food waste. In this work, the incorporation of a lactic acid bacteria (LAB) with antifungal properties (Lactobacillus buchneri UTAD104) into whey protein-based films and coatings was tested for the control of an ochratoxigenic fungi (Penicillium nordicum) in a cheese matrix. The incorporation of L. buchneri cells resulted in thicker films with le...
