Posterior Brain Circulation and Its Importance Regarding Hearing and Balance
Cerebral distribution is typically divided into prior and posterior. The posterior cerebral distribution is supplied by the vertebrobasilar (VB) whole which later links with the anterior distribution via the posterior communicating channels towards the circle of Willis [1]. This system serves as a detracting arterial supply to the cervical...

Screening for Mitochondrial A1555G Mutation among Assortative Mating Hearing Impaired Families in South India: Some Vital Insights
Genetic research into the mechanism of non-syndromic hearing loss (NSHL) have been hampered by a number of issues, including genetic variability, various phenotypes, consanguinity, and marriages between hearing impaired people. In numerous populations, the A1555G mutation in the MT-RNR1 gene has been found as one of the most prevalent...

Genetic Knowledge among Audiologist Related to Hearing Loss: A Recent Study
Hearing loss is hearing loss that could be caused by tumours, trauma, genetic factors, ageing, etc. In the absence of a positive family history for hearing losses, most of the genetic hearing losses are derived from an auto-recessive pattern. The main purpose and objective of this study are experimental...
