A 21 year-old woman with a 15 year history of asthma. presents with acute bacterial rhinosinusitis; she is without fever and in no acute distress.  Her current medications include an ICS/LABA inhaler for reliever and prevention asthma therapy, and a LNG-IUD for contraception. She also reports being told by her parents that she has penicillin allergy, and states, “I had a pink rash on my face and body for a few days when I took penicillin at around 3 or 4 years-old.” In considering ABRS antimicrobial therapy for this patient, the preferred treatment option would be:  A. CefpodoximeB. AzithromycinC. AmoxicillinD. Trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole---YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V6a_DYT3KEg&list=PLf0PFEPBXfq592b5zCthlxSNIEM-H-EtDVisit fhea.com to learn more!

Link to bioRxiv paper: http://biorxiv.org/cgi/content/short/2023.07.06.547961v1?rss=1 Authors: Wetekam, J., Hechavarria, J. C., Lopez-Jury, L., Gonzalez-Palomares, E., Koessl, M. Abstract: Deviance detection describes an increase of neural response strength caused by a stimulus with a low probability of occurrence. This ubiquitous phenomenon has been reported for multiple species, from subthalamic areas to auditory cortex. While cortical deviance detection has been well characterised by a range of studies covering neural activity at population level (mismatch negativity, MMN) as well as at cellular level (stimulus-specific adaptation, SSA), subcortical deviance detection has been studied mainly on cellular level in the form of SSA. Here, we aim to bridge this gap by using noninvasively recorded auditory brainstem responses (ABRs) to investigate deviance detection at population level in the lower stations of the auditory system of a hearing specialist: the bat Carollia perspicillata. Our present approach uses behaviourally relevant vocalisation stimuli that are closer to the animals' natural soundscape than artificial stimuli used in previous studies that focussed on subcortical areas. We show that deviance detection in ABRs is significantly stronger for echolocation pulses than for social communication calls or artificial sounds, indicating that subthalamic deviance detection depends on the behavioural meaning of a stimulus. Additionally, complex physical sound features like frequency- and amplitude-modulation affected the strength of deviance detection in the ABR. In summary, our results suggest that at population level, the bat brain can detect different types of deviants already in the brainstem. This shows that subthalamic brain structures exhibit more advanced forms of deviance detection than previously known. Copy rights belong to original authors.

Link to bioRxiv paper: http://biorxiv.org/cgi/content/short/2022.10.14.512309v1?rss=1 Authors: Shan, T., Cappelloni, M. S., Maddox, R. K. Abstract: Music and speech are two sounds that are unique to human beings and encountered in daily life. Both are transformed by the auditory pathway from an initial acoustical encoding to higher level cognition. Most studies of speech and music processing are focused on the cortex, and the subcortical response to natural, polyphonic music is essentially unstudied. The goal of this study was to compare the subcortical encoding of music and speech using the auditory brainstem response (ABR). While several methods have recently been developed to derive the ABR to continuous speech, they are either not applicable to music or give poor results. In this study, we explored deriving the ABR through deconvolution using three regressors: 1) the half-wave rectified stimulus waveform, 2) the modeled inner hair cell potential, and 3) the auditory nerve model firing rate (ANM), where the latter two were generated from a computational auditory periphery model. After quantitatively comparing the three regressors, we found the ANM regressor yields robust and interpretable ABR waveforms to diverse genres of music and multiple types of speech stimuli. We then used the ANM-derived ABRs to compare the subcortical responses to music and speech and found that they are highly similar in morphology. We further investigated cortical responses using the same deconvolution method, and found the responses there were also quite similar, which was unexpected based on previous studies. Our study first developed approach that can be used to investigate subcortical encoding and processing for both natural speech and music with the potential for use in cortical encoding. Based on that, we concluded that when accounting for acoustical differences' nonlinear effects on peripheral encoding, the derived music and speech brainstem responses are highly correlated.

Hoy en "Mundo Rural" nos acercamos a la PAC en nuestro espacio semanal con la presidenta del Fondo Español de Garantía Agraria, María José Hernández. Con ella conocemos las últimas noticias en torno a la política agraria común y le hacemos llegar nuestras dudas. En esta ocasión hablamos de las regiones ABRS.   Escuchar audio

El ministro de Agricultura, Pesca y Alimentación, Luis Planas, aseguraba el pasado viernes que el volumen de stock de enlace de aceite de oliva permite dar tranquilidad y seguridad a los consumidores, y que en ningún caso va a haber problemas de abastecimiento de este producto en todas sus categorías. Ha reiterado que pese a que Ucrania es el principal exportador de aceite de girasol a España, la interrupción del suministro por la invasión rusa y la situación de guerra no va a crear problemas de abastecimiento de grasas vegetales en nuestro país. De ello hemos hablado esta mañana con Alicia Hernández, responsable de la sectorial del aceite en Aragón.  En #Agricultura2030DPC seguimos explicando el documento publicado por el Fondo Español de Garantía Agraria en el que hace algunas precisiones sobre la futura ayuda básica a la renta para la sostenibilidad (ABRS), que sustituirá al pago básico actual a partir del 1 de enero de 2023, cuando entre en vigor la reforma de la PAC. El sector del vino español con denominación de origen encara el futuro con optimismo, tras el fuerte impacto que supusieron para la actividad de las bodegas las restricciones impuestas por la pandemia especialmente en el canal horeca. Así se puso de manifiesto en la XXIX Asamblea General de la Conferencia Española de Consejos Reguladores Vitivinícolas (CECRV), que se celebró este viernes en el Museo del Vino de la Denominación de Origen Campo de Borja.  La uva tempranillo, con 202.917 de hectáreas, ha desbancado por primera vez a la airén (200.084 hectáreas) como la variedad de vinificación más cultivada en España, según ha informado el Ministerio de Agricultura, Pesca y Alimentación (MAPA). Aragón (37.828 ha). Hoy ha estado en Aragón Radio Eduardo Ibáñez, presidente de la Denominación De Origen Campo de Borja. En #AguayregadiosdeAragónDPC, nos ha acompañado Isabel Bombal, directora General de Desarrollo Rural, Innovación y Formación Agroalimentaria, porque el Ministerio de Agricultura, Pesca y Alimentación sacaba a consulta pública el pasado miércoles el proyecto de real decreto de creación de la mesa y el observatorio del regadío. El Campus de Huesca de la Universidad de Zaragoza acogerá la tercera edición de la ‘Jornada de almendro y pistacho en el Valle del Ebro'.

La balanza comercial entre España y Ucrania es deficitaria para nuestro país, con un saldo negativo que supera los 600 millones. Y los cereales son la categoría más importada. Le compramos a Ucrania aproximadamente el 30% del maíz, y el 60% del aceite de girasol, adquiridos en el exterior. Sobre cómo influye en las cotizaciones y precios hemos comenzado hablando esta mañana con Miguel Ángel Bergés, presidente de la Lonja de Lérida En #Agricultura2030DPC seguimos explicando el documento publicado por el Fondo Español de Garantía Agraria en el que hace algunas precisiones sobre la futura ayuda básica a la renta para la sostenibilidad (ABRS), que sustituirá al pago básico actual a partir del 1 de enero de 2023, cuando entre en vigor la reforma de la PAC. Mañana se pone en marcha la Escuela de Pastores. El centro La Estiva ha recibido solicitudes de todo el país, más del doble de las que puede atender, demostrando que todavía existe interés por este oficio, y sobre todo por formarse en él. Esta mañana nos han acompañado Roberto Serrano, alcalde de San Juan de Plan, y Jesús Huertas, uno de los alumnos procedente de Madrid. El próximo martes se conmemora el Día de la Mujer. La inclusión de la perspectiva de género en la Política Agraria Común (PAC) se traducirá en más facilidades para la incorporación de las mujeres a la actividad agraria, más ayudas, más formación y mayor facilidad para la realización de inversiones. Para hablar de ello y de cuál es la situación de la Titularidad Agraria compartida en Aragón ha estado en De puertas al campo MariLuz Hernández, profesora titular del Departamento de Geografía y Ordenación del Territorio de la Universidad de Zaragoza. En #AguayregadiosdeAragónDPC, analizamos con Andrés del Campo, presidente de FENACORE, la puesta en marcha el pasado viernes por parte del Ministerio de Agricultura de la Mesa de la Sequía y hemos repasado las fechas para el inicio de las campañas de riego en Aragón.  Esta semana tenía lugar en el CITA la presentación de las nuevas selecciones de almendros más tolerantes a enfermedades, injertadas en el nuevo portainjertos 'Pilowred', resistente a nematodos y dirigido a nuevos sistemas de cultivo, así como la nueva variedad de esta planta, 'Felama'.

It would be hard to find any health practitioner - traditional, functional, or otherwise - who doesn’t acknowledge the importance of consuming omega-3 fatty acids. Supplements in the form of fish oil or krill oil are widely recommended and consumed, and come with claims of cardiovascular disease prevention, cognitive benefits, and anti-inflammatory properties. But is it really a good idea to get your omega-3s in a gel cap rather than from food? And do they really do everything the media would have you believe? On this podcast, NBT Scientific Director Megan Hall and I discuss omega-3 fatty acids: what they are, what they’re good for, and the best ways to get them. Megan outlines the different types of omega-3 and explains why some are better than others. She also explains why some health claims are overblown, and why buying fish oil supplements may not be the best health strategy.

Link to bioRxiv paper: http://biorxiv.org/cgi/content/short/2020.08.20.258301v1?rss=1 Authors: Polonenko, M. J., Maddox, R. K. Abstract: The auditory brainstem is important for processing speech, yet we have much to learn regarding the contributions of different subcortical structures. These deep neural generators respond quickly, making them difficult to study during dynamic, ongoing speech. Recently developed techniques have paved the way to use natural speech stimuli, but the auditory brainstem responses (ABRs) they provide are temporally broad and thus have ambiguous neural sources. Here we describe a new method that uses re-synthesized "peaky" speech stimuli and deconvolution analysis of EEG data to measure canonical ABRs to continuous naturalistic speech of male and female narrators. We show that in adults with normal hearing, peaky speech quickly yields robust ABRs that can be used to investigate speech processing at distinct subcortical structures from auditory nerve to rostral brainstem. We further demonstrate the versatility of peaky speech by simultaneously measuring bilateral and ear-specific responses across different frequency bands. Thus, the peaky speech method holds promise as a powerful tool for investigating speech processing and for clinical applications. Copy rights belong to original authors. Visit the link for more info

This week we are joined by 4th year University of Ottawa student Zuhaib Mir who will be discussing Acute Bacterial Rhinosinusitis. This podcast was created as a collaborative effort between Surgery101, LearnENT, and the Canadian Society of Otolarygology-Head & Neck Surgery as part of a special series of topics on primary care otolaryngology. After this podcast you will be able to: Understand the importance of the topic Define Acute bacterial Rhinosinusitis and discuss the relevant anatomy Describe the risk factors associated Describe the clinical presentation and differential diagnosis Recommend treatment for ABRS, including complications and when you should refer to OHNS

This podcast highlights the updated clinical practice guideline on adult sinusitis that is published as an April 2015 supplement to Otolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, the official journal of the American Academy of Otolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery (AAO-HNS) Foundation. In the first of two podcasts for this supplement, Editor in chief John Krouse is joined by lead author Richard Rosenfeld and co-author Richard Orlandi in discussing key findings from the guideline in the diagnosis and treatment of adults with symptoms of sinusitis.   Sinusitis affects about 1 in 8 adults in the United States, resulting in more than 30 million annual diagnoses. The direct cost of managing acute and chronic sinusitis exceeds $11 billion per year, with additional expense from lost productivity, reduced job effectiveness, and impaired quality of life. More than 1 in 5 antibiotics prescribed in adults are for sinusitis, making it the fifth-most common diagnosis responsible for antibiotic therapy.  Rhinosinusitis may be classified by duration as acute rhinosinusitis (ARS) if less than 4 weeks’ duration or as chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) if lasting more than 12 weeks, with or without acute exacerbations. ARS may be classified further by presumed etiology, based on symptoms and time course, into acute bacterial rhinosinusitis (ABRS) or viral rhinosinusitis (VRS).  Symptoms include purulent nasal discharge accompanied by nasal obstruction, facial pain/pressure/fullness, or both. Acute bacterial rhinosinusitis can be differentiated from acute viral rhinosinusitis if symptoms persist for at least 10 days without improvement or if symptoms worsen within 10 days after initial improvement.  In addition, clinicians should not obtain radiographic imaging for uncomplicated acute rhinosinusitis.  Furthermore, clinicians can consider watchful waiting without antibiotic treatment for uncomplicated acute sinusitis.  Primary antibiotic therapy should include 5 to 10 days of amoxicillin with or without clavulate for most adults with sinusitis.  These guidelines discuss additional recommendations and options for clinicians treating these adult patients with sinusitis.   Click here to read the full article.

Objective: Recent findings support the crucial role of microcirculatory disturbance and ischemia for hearing impairment especially after noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL). The aim of this study was to establish an animal model for in vivo analysis of cochlear microcirculation and hearing function after a loud noise to allow precise measurements of both parameters in vivo. Study Design: Randomized controlled trial. Setting: Animal study. Subjects and Methods: After assessment of normacusis (0 minutes) using evoked auditory brainstem responses (ABRs), noise (106-dB sound pressure level [SPL]) was applied to both ears in 6 guinea pigs for 30 minutes while unexposed animals served as controls. In vivo fluorescence microscopy of the stria vascularis capillaries was performed after surgical exposure of 1 cochlea. ABR measurements were derived from the contralateral ear. Results: After noise exposure, red blood cell velocity was reduced significantly by 24.3% (120 minutes) and further decreased to 44.5% at the end of the observation (210 minutes) in contrast to stable control measurements. Vessel diameters were not affected in both groups. A gradual decrease of segmental blood flow became significant (38.1%) after 150 minutes compared with controls. Hearing thresholds shifted significantly from 20.0 ± 5.5 dB SPL (0 minutes) to 32.5 ± 4.2dB SPL (60 minutes) only in animals exposed to loud noise. Conclusion: With regard to novel treatments targeting the stria vascularis in NIHL, this standardized model allows us to analyze in detail cochlear microcirculation and hearing function in vivo.
