Partial trisomy 9p and partial monosomy 6q resulting from paternal reciprocal translocation 6;9: Overlapping manifestations of characteristic phenoty…

2003

We report on a female infant with partial trisomy 9p (p13.3→pter) and monosomy 6q (q26-qter) resulting from a paternal balanced reciprocal traslocation t(6;9)(q26;p13.3). Both trisomy 9p and monosomy 6q are recognized phenotypes with characteristic patterns of anomalies. This patient is the first reported with a partial deletion 6q and a partial duplication 9p resulting in an overlapping phenotype including intrauterine growth retardation (IUGR), craniofacial and skeletal abnormalities, congenital heart defect, hypotonia and developmental delay. We present the clinical follow-up of this patient from birth to age 4 years: the phenotypic manifestations of trisomy 9p syndrome are mildly expres…

L'effettiva applicazione del principio del contraddittorio nel procedimento amministrativo tributario tra svolte, ripensamenti e attese

2015

The right to a proper hearing in the administrative tax proceedings represents an essential element of the full exercise of the taxpayer’s right of the defense (art. 24 of the Italian Constitution), as well as of the implementation of the principle of good performance and impartiality of tax administration (art. 97 of the Italian Constitution), as recognized by the constitutional Court and the Supreme Court case law, in the light of European and international law. Taxpayer’s right to a proper hearing, as part of the rights of the defense, is a general principle of Community law which applies where the tax authorities are minded to adopt a measure which will adversely affect an individual. L…

Universal newborn hearing screening in the Italian Region of Sicily in 2018

2021

We have clarified the role of Universal Neonatal Hearing Screening (UNHS) for both early diagnosis and rapid treatment in order to improve the prognosis of the deaf child and reduce patient management costs. Although in Sicily UNHS has been progressively implemented, there is scarce data in the literature on this matter. Therefore, the main objective was to collect in the year 2018 the following data: number of newborns screened for hearing loss, number of infants "referred" to transiently evoked otoacoustic emissions (TEOAE), number of infants with pathologic auditory brainstem response (ABR) and number of infants affected by permanent hearing loss.UNHS monitoring was conducted through the…

Estudio comparativo de dos metodologías aplicadas para la comprensión de la música contemporánea en la educación secundaria obligatoria

2016

In this paper we try to discover which methodology is more appropriate for the comprehension of the contemporary music in the Secondary Education. For that purpose by a quasi-experiment, mixed, qualitative and quantitative, the preserved results through the application of two different methodologies have been compared: a traditional one base on the masterly class and another based in different kinds of audition. The obtained results after the didactical application on the quantitative level weren´t significant, however, on the qualitative level we could also observe that the pupils who subjected to that methodology had more advantageous results regarding to the comprehension of the contempo…

Hearing-impaired pupils in mainstream education in Finland: teachers’ experiences of inclusion and support

Today, in Finland, the majority of hearing-impaired pupils attend regular schools. This is in line with inclusive policy. This study aims to investigate do these pupils receive support from teacher ...

Sudden vestibular and hearing loss in mediterranean spotted fever: The first case report

2019

Mediterranean spotted fever is an infection disease caused by Rickettsiae and transmitted by tick puncture; the diffusion of such disease is wide in countryside of the Mediterranean regions. The disease may be complicated by several organ failure due to a vasculitis, and also the inner ear can be involved although rarely. We report the first documented case of total involvement of inner ear with sensorineural hearing loss and acute vestibular impairment. The patient was treated with medical therapy and resolution of the infection, but the inner ear damage was not reversible with persistent loss of all functions, documented by instrumental vestibular analysis.

AGE-RELATED HEARING IMPAIRMENT (ARHI): A COMMON SENSORY DEFICIT IN THE ELDERLY

2011

This paper aims to give a broad overview of the scientific findings related to Age-related hearing impairment that is a complex disorder, with both environmental as well as genetic factors contributing to the impairment. The involvement of several environmental factors has been partially elucidated. A first step towards the identification of the genetic factors has been made, which will result in the identification of susceptibility genes, and will provide possible targets for the future treatment and/or prevention of ARHI.

Intratympanic treatment with dexamethasone as first-line or salvage therapy in sudden sensorineural hearing loss: Results of a retrospective study

2014

Aim: Sudden sensorineural hearing loss is a condition of emergency in Otolaryngology. Although there is no universally accepted treatment protocol, corticosteroids, intravenous and oral, are the most common treatment The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of intratympanic administration of dexamethasone as first line therapy, or as a rescue therapy after treatment with systemic steroids in patients not responders. Methods: The population, consisting of 85 patients referred to our unit from January 2010 to December 2013, was divided into two groups according to the treatment protocol performed. We also analyzed possible variables that may affect the response to treatment such …

Association between sensorineural hearing loss and sleep-disordered breathing: Literature review

2015

The cochlea is especially sensitive to circulatory alterations because it is supplied by a single terminal artery and lacks adequate collateral blood supply. To examine the putative association between Sensorineural Hearing Loss (SNHL) and Sleep Disordered Breathing (SDB) through the literature review is very interesting. In fact these medical disorders usually are associated to cerebral circulatory alterations resulting in hypoxia, acute hemodynamic change, and decreased cerebral blood flow, because the Sleep Disorder Breathing (SDB), for example OSAHS (Obstructive Sleep Apnea Hypopnea Syndrome), is characterized by periodic hyposia/reoxygenation. These noxious stimuli can, in turn, activa…
