要旨

Background:

The disease cerebral palsy (CP) primarily impacts muscle control and movement, potentially resulting in numerous associated disorders in early childhood. One notable complication that may arise in individuals with CP is hearing loss, which can develop due to various underlying factors related to the condition.

Objectives:

To assess hearing impairment in CP children by using brainstem evoked response audiometry (BERA).

Materials And Methods:

There were 110 confirmed cases of CP between the ages of 6 months and 10 years. Audiologic Assessment: BERA was used to evaluate the hearing of the children. Demographic, otologic, and audiologic information were collected systematically, accompanied by records detailing other otologic and medical conditions.

Results:

The prevalence of hearing loss in children aged ≤4 years (CP). In addition, males were more commonly affected in CP. Prematurity was significantly higher (62%) in the group with hearing loss. The number of maternal infections was also significantly higher in the group with hearing loss (58.33%). Malnutrition, mode of delivery, maternal tobacco use, and maternal alcohol use were not significantly associated with hearing loss. The frequency of low birth weight patients (<2500 g) was higher in hearing loss (79.17%). Neonatal seizure was also significantly associated with hearing loss (54.17%) than in patients without hearing loss (24.42%). Meconium aspiration, delayed crying, neonatal jaundice, neonatal sepsis, exclusive breastfeeding, and immunizations were not significantly associated with hearing loss.

Conclusion:

Preterm birth and maternal infections were significantly more common in the group with hearing loss. Low birth weight (<2500 g) and neonatal seizures were also significantly associated with hearing loss.

Hearing

Hearing

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.

Line Loss

Line Loss

The different configurations of source-load connections include wye (star) and delta connections. The relationship between line and phase voltages and currents varies depending on the configuration. When the source is supplying power, it is transmitted through the wires to the load, and during this transmission, some power is absorbed by the wires, leading to line loss.
Line loss impacts power delivery efficiency in a balanced three-phase circuit. The symmetry in such a circuit simplifies the...

Reducing Line Loss

Reducing Line Loss

In a three-phase circuit, line loss is an indicator of energy dissipated as heat due to the resistance of transmission lines. To address this, incorporating transformers into the system—a step-up transformer at the source and a step-down transformer at the load—is a strategic solution. Two three-phase transformers are introduced to improve this.
With a step-up transformer at the source, the voltage is increased, thereby reducing the current in the transmission lines since power loss in...

Association Areas of the Cortex

Association Areas of the Cortex

Association areas are regions of the cerebral cortex that do not have a specific sensory or motor function. Instead, they integrate and interpret information from various sources to enable higher cognitive processes such as memory, learning, and decision-making. Some key association areas include the following:
Prefrontal Association Area: This area is located in the frontal lobe and is involved in planning, decision-making, and moderating social behavior. It connects with primary motor areas,...

Associative Learning

Associative Learning

Associative learning is a fundamental concept in behavioral psychology, wherein a connection is established between two stimuli or events, leading to a learned response. This process is critical in understanding how behaviors are acquired and modified. Conditioning, the mechanism through which associations are formed, can be divided into two main types: classical conditioning and operant conditioning, each elucidating different aspects of associative learning.
Classical conditioning, also known...

Major Losses in Pipes

Major Losses in Pipes

When a fluid flows through a pipe, it experiences energy losses due to frictional resistance along the pipe walls, known as major losses. These energy losses result in a pressure drop, which varies based on the flow conditions — whether laminar or turbulent — and the specific physical properties of the fluid and pipe.
Fluid flow can be classified as laminar or turbulent, primarily based on the Reynolds number. This dimensionless number reflects the relative influence of inertial to viscous...
