Reversing hearing loss by regrowing hairs |

02/01/2019
Humans are unable to reverse the effects of hearing loss, but a biological process found in other animal species may hold the key to reversing this widespread problem.
How the brain interprets sounds is a relatively simple process.
First, a sound enters the ear via soundwaves. It then moves down the ear until it hits the eardrum.
Next, the eardrum vibrates and sends these vibrations to bones in the middle ear, which then boost them.
Eventually, hair-like cells in the inner ear or cochlea pick up these vibrations and transform them into electrical signals that the brain can process.
Age or excessive exposure to loud noise can damage the cochlea, resulting in permanent hearing loss.
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), hearing loss affects more than 400 million people around the world today.
Some people experience more severe loss than others, and traditional treatment involves devices such as hearing aids. The effectiveness of these depends on the individual.
However, scientists have long known that animals such as fish and birds are able to keep their hearing intact by regenerating the sensory hair cells found in the cochlea. In fact, mammals are the only vertebrates that are unable to do this.
Testing the inner ear
In 2012, Dr. Patricia White's laboratory identified a group of receptors responsible for this regeneration process.
The researchers called this group the epidermal growth factor, or EGF, which switches on support cells in the auditory system of birds. These support cells then spark the production of new sensory hair cells.
Now, in a new study that they have published in the European Journal of Neuroscience, Dr. White - together with researchers from the University of Rochester and the Massachusetts Ear and Eye Infirmary - show how they tried to recreate this process in mammals. |

| |   Air ionizer Iventus210 74.50 € Telpām līdz 20 kv.m. Ierīce jonizē gaisu, izmantojot elektronu jonizācijas plazmas sistēmu. Tai nav nepieciešams nomainīt filtrus, tāpēc to lietot ir ļoti vienkārši. Smalkais jonizatora dizains iekļausies jūsu interjerā.
Gaisa jonizators attīra gaisu telpās, bagātina gaisu ar negatīvi lādētiem aerojoniem. Tas attīra gaisu no putekļiem, ziedputekšņiem, sēnītēm, vīrusiem, mājdzīvnieku blaugznām un apmatojuma pūkām, kukaiņu mikrodaļiņām, tabakas un citām nepatīkamām smakām. Novietots tuvu elektrostatisko lauku avotiem (ieslēgtiem televizoriem, datoru monitoriem) jonizators 5-10 reizes samazina pozitīvo lādiņu spriegumu, ko radījuši šie avoti. Tāpēc jonizatoru vajadzētu novietot 0,5 -1,0 m no šiem avotiem.
Jonizatora izstarotie ultravioletie (UV) stari, iznīcina baktērijas un mikrobus, dezinficē telpu.
Ierīcei ir 3 darba režīmi:
- gaisa jonizācija,
- UV stari,
- gaisa jonizācija + UV stari.
Ierīce neaizņem papildus vietu, jo tās kontaktdakša ir iemontēta tieši korpusā, kas ļauj to novietot tieši pie sienas.
Ekonomiska – patēre tikai 8W elektriskās enerģijas. | |  ElektroKardiogrāfs ELI150 MORTARA 2770.00 € ELI 150 ir portatīvs 12 novadījumu EKG ar integrētu printeri. Printeris dod izdruku uzreiz ar interpretāciju uz Z-veida papīra. Šis ir ērtākais un labākais variants, ja ārsts vēlas doties pie klienta ātri un veikt EKG kā arī, ja nepieciešams, to izdrukāt uzreiz.
Kardiogrāfs ievietojams speciālā, ērtā plecu somā, lai to būtu viegli pārnēsāt un strādāt, neizņemot no somas. Pieejami arī speciāli rati ar plauktu elektrodiem, uz kuriem uzlikt EKG un ērti pārvietoties, piemēram, pa nodaļu, starp gultām. Interpretācijas veidošanai tiek izmantots VERITAS algoritms.
Izmēri: 30 x 31 x 11 cm. Svars: 3,5 kg Ir EC sertifikāts. Lietošanas instrukcija latviešu valodā. Ražotājs: MORTARA INSTRUMENT, ASV. Garantija: 2gadi. | |
