The effects of concomitant Ginkgo intake on noise induced Hippocampus injury. Possible auditory clinical correlate
In conclusion, noise had detrimental effects on cells of Cornu Ammonis area1 (CA1), CA3 & DG of the hippocampus. In view of this finding, the clinical auditory hazardous effects in people exposed to harmful noise such as tinnitus, as well as memory disturbances and learning disabilities might have a new dimension. The administration of Gb protected the hippocampus against the injurious effect of noise. The probable mechanism and usefulness of Gb in reducing the previously mentioned effects are discussed.

Use of the Client Oriented Scale of Improvement (COSI) and International outcome inventory of hearing aids (IOI-HA) as a clinical outcome measure in a rural community
This study was done in rural area of Vellore district. Hearing rehabilitative services were provided to the rural people and benefit of hearing aids was assessed using self benefit assessment measures Nal-COSI and IOI-HA. A total of 111 clients were followed up for a period of 6months. It was found that patients having moderately severe to severe hearing loss have more problems and are in need for hearing rehabilitative services. This model of self benefit assessment measures gives the client a realistic picture and also provides the caregiver the details of hearing aid usage. This model of provision of rehabilitation serv...

The lower border of the zygomatic arch could be a better landmark for the middle fossa dura: Cadaveric dissection study
Conclusion It is better to consider the lower border of the zygomatic arch as a reliable landmark of the middle fossa dura in the area of the antrum than to consider the supramastoid crest as a landmark for the dura. It is better to consider imaginary line directed posteriorly from the lower border of the zygomatic arch as a superior limb of the Macewen triangle.
