The effect of stimulus duration on preferences for gain adjustments when listening to speech (2021)
Journal Article
Whitmer, W. M., Caswell-Midwinter, B., & Naylor, G. (2022). The effect of stimulus duration on preferences for gain adjustments when listening to speech. International Journal of Audiology, 61(11), 940-947. https://doi.org/10.1080/14992027.2021.1998676

Objectives: In the personalisation of hearing-aid fittings, gain is often adjusted to suit patient preferences using live speech. When using brief sentences as stimuli, the minimum gain adjustments necessary to elicit consistent preferences (“prefere...

Clinical trials are designed to evaluate interventions that prevent, diagnose or treat a health condition and provide the evidence base for improving practice in health care. Many health professionals, including those working within or allied to hear... Read More about Clinical Trials and Outcome Measures in Adults With Hearing Loss.

Tinnitus prevalence in Europe: a multi-country cross-sectional population study (2021)
Journal Article
Biswas, R., Lugo, A., Akeroyd, M., Schlee, W., Gallus, S., & Hall, D. (2022). Tinnitus prevalence in Europe: a multi-country cross-sectional population study. Lancet Regional Health – Europe, 12, Article 100250. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.lanepe.2021.100250

Background
Tinnitus prevalence studies report large variability across countries that might be due to inconsistent research methods. Our study aimed to report a single Pan-European estimate for tinnitus prevalence and investigate the effect of indiv...

Dysregulated anterior insula reactivity as robust functional biomarker for chronic pain—Meta-analytic evidence from neuroimaging studies (2021)
Journal Article
Ferraro, S., Klugah-Brown, B., Tench, C. R., Yao, S., Nigri, A., Demichelis, G., …Becker, B. (2022). Dysregulated anterior insula reactivity as robust functional biomarker for chronic pain—Meta-analytic evidence from neuroimaging studies. Human Brain Mapping, 43(3), 998-1010. https://doi.org/10.1002/hbm.25702

Neurobiological pain models propose that chronic pain is accompanied by neurofunctional changes that mediate pain processing dysfunctions. In contrast, meta-analyses of neuroimaging studies in chronic pain conditions have not revealed convergent evid...

Quantitative magnetic resonance imaging in perianal crohn’s disease at 1.5 and 3.0 T: A feasibility study (2021)
Journal Article
Alyami, A., Hoad, C. L., Tench, C., Bannur, U., Clarke, C., Latief, K., …Moran, G. W. (2021). Quantitative magnetic resonance imaging in perianal crohn’s disease at 1.5 and 3.0 T: A feasibility study. Diagnostics, 11(11), Article 2135. https://doi.org/10.3390/diagnostics11112135

Perianal Crohn’s Disease (pCD) is a common manifestation of Crohn’s Disease. Absence of reliable disease measures makes disease monitoring unreliable. Qualitative MRI has been increasingly used for diagnosing and monitoring pCD and has shown potentia...

Juxtacellular Labeling of Stellate, Disk and Basket Neurons in the Central Nucleus of the Guinea Pig Inferior Colliculus (2021)
Journal Article
Wallace, M. N., Shackleton, T. M., Thompson, Z., & Palmer, A. R. (2021). Juxtacellular Labeling of Stellate, Disk and Basket Neurons in the Central Nucleus of the Guinea Pig Inferior Colliculus. Frontiers in Neural Circuits, 15, 1-24. https://doi.org/10.3389/fncir.2021.721015

We reconstructed the intrinsic axons of 32 neurons in the guinea pig inferior colliculus (IC) following juxtacellular labeling. Biocytin was injected into cells in vivo, after first analyzing physiological response properties. Based on axonal morphol...

Nitric oxide for the prevention and treatment of viral, bacterial, protozoal and fungal infections (2021)
Journal Article
