The Auditory Ossicles01:11

The Auditory Ossicles

3.2K
The auditory ossicles of the middle ear transmit sounds from the air as vibrations to the fluid-filled cochlea. The auditory ossicles consist of two malleus (hammer) bones, two incus (anvil) bones, and two stapes (stirrups), one on each side. These bones develop during the fetal stage and are the ones to ossify first. They are fully mature at birth and do not grow afterward.
The aptly named stapes look very much like a stirrup. The three ossicles are unique to mammals, and each plays a role in...

Auditory Perception01:17

Auditory Perception

1.1K
The auditory system is essential for sound perception, utilizing various critical structures. When sound waves enter the outer ear, they travel through the ear canal and cause the eardrum to vibrate. These vibrations are then transmitted to the middle ear, where three tiny bones – the malleus, incus, and stapes – amplify the sound. This amplification is crucial, as it ensures that the sound vibrations are strong enough to be conveyed to the inner ear. These vibrations then reach the...

Auditory Pathway01:15

Auditory Pathway

7.5K
Auditory pathways constitute the complex neural circuits responsible for transmitting and interpreting auditory information from the peripheral auditory system to the brain. Sound waves are initially captured by the outer ear, funneled through the ear canal, and reach the tympanic membrane (eardrum). These vibrations are transmitted via the middle ear's ossicles to the inner ear's cochlea.
When viewed cross-sectionally, the cochlea reveals the scala vestibuli and scala tympani flanking...

Antigens Involved in Adaptive Immunity01:26

Antigens Involved in Adaptive Immunity

1.6K
An antigen is any substance the immune system identifies as foreign and potentially harmful to the body, prompting an immune response. Antigens have two functional properties: immunogenicity and reactivity. Immunogenicity is the ability of an antigen to stimulate a specific immune response. At the same time, reactivity describes the antigen's ability to react with the cells and antibodies produced in response to it.

Hearing01:31

Hearing

57.5K
When we hear a sound, our nervous system is detecting sound waves—pressure waves of mechanical energy traveling through a medium. The frequency of the wave is perceived as pitch, while the amplitude is perceived as loudness.

Communication01:03

Communication

8.8K
Communication between two animals occurs when one animal transmits an information signal that causes a change in the animal that receives the information. Organisms communicate with one another in a host of different ways. Signals can be auditory, chemical, visual, tactile, or a combination of these. Communication is a critical behavioral adaptation that promotes survival, growth, and reproduction.

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Psoriasis patients have a higher incidence of hearing loss, particularly sensorineural type. Factors like psoriatic arthritis, disease duration, and smoking correlate with increased auditory dysfunction in psoriasis.

Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Dermatology
  • Rheumatology

Background:

  • Psoriasis is a systemic inflammatory disease linked to various chronic conditions.
  • Auditory function alterations in psoriasis patients are understudied.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the association between psoriasis and auditory function.
  • To compare auditory function in psoriatic patients versus healthy controls.

Main Methods:

  • A pilot study involving 77 psoriatic patients and 77 matched healthy controls.
  • Clinical and instrumental assessments of auditory function, including tympanometry.

Main Results:

  • Significantly higher prevalence of hearing loss (primarily sensorineural) in psoriatic patients.
  • Conductive and mixed hearing loss more common in psoriatic arthritis patients.
  • Psoriasis duration over 10 years and smoking associated with increased hearing loss.
  • More severe psoriasis observed in patients with hearing loss.
  • Increased tympanogram abnormalities in psoriatic patients.

Conclusions:

  • Psoriasis is associated with a higher frequency of hearing loss and tympanogram abnormalities.
  • Psoriatic arthritis, disease duration, and smoking are risk factors for hearing impairment in psoriasis.
  • Findings highlight the systemic nature of psoriasis and suggest further research into auditory health in affected individuals.
