Influence of Coupled Hemodynamics-Arterial Wall Interaction on Compliance in a Realistic Pulmonary Artery with Variable Intravascular Wall Properties

Publication date: Available online 21 June 2019Source: Medical Image AnalysisAuthor(s): Ullhas U. Hebbar, Rupak K. BanerjeeABSTRACTPulmonary hypertension is characterized by elevation of pulmonary artery (PA) pressure (p) and structural remodeling of the PA wall, leading to reduction in arterial compliance (c). As a step towards improving diagnosis of pulmonary disease, we use the PA branch geometry (main pulmonary artery (MPA) branching into left (LPA) and right (RPA) pulmonary arteries) obtained...

FiebachAbstractThe P600 Event-Related Brain Potential, elicited by syntactic violations in sentences, is generally interpreted as indicating language-specific structural/combinatorial processing, with far-reaching implications for models of language. P600 effects are also often taken as evidence for language-like grammars in non-linguistic domains like music or arithmetic. An alternative account,...

Predictable tones elicit stimulus-specific suppression of evoked activity in auditory cortex

Publication date: Available online 20 June 2019Source: NeuroImageAuthor(s): Biao Han, Pim Mostert, Floris P. de LangeAbstractThe auditory cortex is sensitive to many forms of acoustic regularity, resulting in suppressed neural activity for expected auditory events. It is unclear whether this activity reduction for expected events is the result of suppression of neurons that are tuned to the expected stimulus (i.e., dampening), or alternatively suppression of neurons that are tuned away from the expected...

Vocal Dose for Rhythm-Based Indoor Cycling Instructors: With and Without Amplification

The purpose of this research was to characterize the voice physiology requirements of indoor cycling instructors as measured by vocal dose (distance the vocal folds travel and average voice intensity) and perceived phonatory effort with and without amplification. Using a within-participant repeated measures design, eight rhythm-based cycling instructors were consented and scheduled to teach two ecologically valid cycling fitness classes, one amplified and one without amplification. Objective measures...

Contextual predictability and phonetic attention

Publication date: July 2019Source: Journal of Phonetics, Volume 75Author(s): Jonathan MankerAbstractThe interaction of contextual, high-level linguistic knowledge and the listener's attention to low-level phonetic details has been the subject of a large body of research in speech perception for several decades. In the current paper, I investigate this interaction by considering the specific phenomenon of word predictability and its role in modulating the listener's attention to subphonemic details...

External approaches to this area involve extensive surgery and are associated with significant morbidity. The aims of this study are to present our experience with the endoscopic transpterygoid approach as a method for approaching lesions of the SSLR and to...

Background The AICA's "subarcuate loop" (SL) presents multiple variations, closely related to the SAA. AICA-SAA complex's variations may represent major issues in cerebellopontine angle (CPA) surgery.
