Published: March 2024

Introducción: Las colecciones biológicas representan los cimientos para el conocimiento y manejo de la biodiversidad de una región. No obstante, en México, y en particular en el Pacífico central mexicano (PCM), las colecciones regionales enfocadas en equinodermos, son escasas. La colección biológica del Laboratorio de Ecología Molecular, Microbiología y Taxonomía (LEMITAX) pertenece al Centro Universitario de Ciencias Biológicas y Agropecuarias de la Universidad de Guadalajara, Jalisco, México y sirve como referencia de la biodiversidad marina de la región.

Objetivo: Dar a conocer la riqueza de equinodermos resguardada en la colección del LEMITAX.

Métodos: Los organismos depositados en LEMITAX se han recolectado mediante buceo libre, SCUBA, y arrastres de fondo con dragas biológicas en diversas áreas del Pacífico mexicano. Los especímenes están preservados en húmedo (alcohol al 70 %; Asteroidea, Echinoidea, Holothuroidea y Ophiuroidea) o en seco (Asteroidea y Echinoidea).

Resultados: Los especímenes provienen de los estados de Sinaloa, Nayarit, Jalisco y Colima, incluyendo dos áreas naturales protegidas, el Parque Nacional Isla Isabel y el Santuario de las islas e islotes de Bahía de Chamela. La colección dispone de 20 761 ejemplares de equinodermos distribuidos en 75 especies (10 asteroideos, 17 ofiuroideos, 17 equinoideos y 31 holoturoideos). El estado mejor representado es Jalisco (64 especies) seguido de Nayarit (31), Colima (20) y Sinaloa (11). Bahía de Chamela es la mejor representada (60), seguido de Isla Isabel (22). Se aportan 34 registros nuevos, la mayor contribución es para Bahía de Chamela con 14 registros nuevos, seguido del estado de Jalisco (siete), Nayarit (cuatro), Colima (tres) e Isla Isabel (tres). Para el PCM, se reporta por primera vez la presencia de Astropecten ornatissimus, Luidia phragma, Cucumaria crax y Holothuria (Cystipus) casoae, lo que actualiza su riqueza de equinodermos a 197 especies. Se amplía el intervalo de distribución batimétrica de Ophiactis simplex, Ophiocomella alexandri y Holothuria (Cystipus) casoae, así como el intervalo de distribución geográfica de Cucumaria crax.

Conclusiones: Las colecciones biológicas de las universidades contribuyen de manera sustancial al conocimiento de la biodiversidad, como se refleja en la colección LEMITAX, cuya revisión resultó en la actualización de la riqueza de equinodermos de la región.
Population survey of Holothuria (Halodeima) grisea (Aspidochirotida: Holothuriidae) at its limit of geographic distribution in the Western South Atlantic
Authors: Sabino Rupp Guilherme , Cacciatori Marenzi Adriano Weidner , Ventura de Souza Robson , Schroeder Rafael
Published: March 2024

Introduction: The sea cucumber Holothuria (Halodeima) grisea Selenka, 1867 is a common echinoderm in intertidal regions along the Brazilian coast, which recently became the focus of unreported and unregulated fisheries. This study was carried out in sandy-rocky substrates at Armação do Itapocoroy, Penha, Santa Catarina (26o47’ S; 48o36’ W), near its southern limit of geographic distribution.

Objective: To determine the densities (individuals*m-2) of Holothuria (H.) grisea within a spatial-temporal perspective as well as to determine biometric and growth characteristics of the population.

Methods: Two-meter wide transects perpendicular to the coastline were carried out in winter and spring 2019 and in summer and spring 2020, in periods of spring low-tides. In each sampling occasion the total number of specimens of H. grisea were determined, and a group of 90 organisms was submitted to in situ biometrics (weight, length and width), and immediately returned alive to their habitat.

Results: The densities of H. (H.) grisea were significantly higher in the subtidal sector and lower in the upper intertidal sector with no indication of significant differences among sampling campaigns. Depth was the primary factor explaining the observed density patterns and rugosity of the substrate was secondary but also important. The body length ranged from 5.2 to 22.5 cm, whereas the weight varied from 6.0 to 230 g. The mean and modal lengths were 12.54 and 13 cm, respectively. Approximately 75 % of the population sampled was between 10 and 14 cm and the average weight was 60 g. Estimates from von Bertalanffy growth function indicate that the youngest sea cucumber was one year-old, and the oldest had approximately two and a half years.

Conclusions: This is the first study to determine biometric parameters for H. (H.) grisea in southern Brazil and the first one to estimate growth and age estimates for a wild population of this species. The densities recorded in the present study were lower than those previously reported for this region, suggesting anthropic influence.
Predators of the sea urchin Diadema mexicanum (Diadematoida: Diadematidae) at the Eastern Tropical Pacific coral reefs
Authors: Hernández José Carlos , Alfonso Beatriz , Guzmán-Mora Ana Gloria , Alvarado Juan José
Published: March 2024

Introduction: The coral reefs of Isla del Coco National Park are some of the most pristine ecosystems on Earth. The sea urchin Diadema mexicanum (Diadematoida: Diadematidae) is a common inhabitant with a pivotal role in the ecology of this unique ecosystem.

Objective: In this study, we identified the predominant predators of D. mexicanum and estimated the predatory consumption rates. We also determined predation rates at different sea urchin sizes and at sites with contrasting refuge availability.

Methods: We use field video recording observations and tethering experiments.

Results: The balistid Sufflamen verres and the labrid Bodianus diplotaenia were identified as predators of small and medium size D. mexicanum; the labrids Thalassoma grammaticum and B. diplotaenia (juvenile) and the tetraodontid Arothron meleagris were attempted predators; and Canthigaster punctatissima and Holacanthus passer were scavengers. Larger sea urchins (> 30 mm) were also preyed upon during the tethering experiments. Furthermore, a clear effect of the site on survival of the different sea urchins’ sizes was noted. No difference in the sea urchin predator biomass was found among sites, which highlights the importance of site complexity on survival. At high and medium complexity sites, large individuals had better survival, while at the low complexity site, there was almost no differences in survival rates among the three size classes. Our results also show that a high abundance of these predatory fishes, above 0.04 ind m-2, guarantees a low sea urchin density. Below this threshold, a higher variability in sea urchin density is observed Despite not being registered with the video recordings, lobsters were observed once preying upon a large sea urchin individual.

Conclusions: This study identifies a keystone fish guild with high predation rate for Diadema in the National Park, which suggests that protective actions have positively benefited predatory fish and lobster populations.
Torn between Prescription and Innovation
Authors: Callies Marcus , Kreis Ramona
Published: March 2024

This paper reports on the affordances of corpora in the context of a teaching model that aims to highlight and strengthen the relevance and applicability of (socio-)linguistic content knowledge of World Englishes for university-based teacher education and the ELT classroom. We use large electronic corpora as one resource for the student teachers to explore the spread and extent of use of innovative and variable linguistic structures in Englishes around the world, and to critically examine the fuzzy boundary between errors and variety-specific, innovative linguistic structures. To examine the potential impact that a specific teaching intervention on World Englishes and corpora may have on student teachers’ judgments of the intelligibility and formal correctness of several features of World Englishes, a rating task was administered to an experimental and a control group. Additionally, students of the experimental group were interviewed about their experiences with the corpus intervention and their opinions and attitudes toward the use of corpora for teaching English and, specifically, linguistic variation and innovations in English. The findings suggest that the teaching intervention seems to initiate an increased awareness of the variability of linguistic structures in World Englishes, and supports future teachers in questioning traditional prescriptive norms.
A Qualitative Approach to Using Corpora in Teacher Education
Authors: Tyne Henry
Published: March 2024

This article is concerned with the applied use of corpora for student teachers, drawing on qualitative methods. A study is presented in which a group of future language instructors are invited to elaborate on a project investigating the impact of awareness-raising on lesson planning. Working on a spoken corpus, Narrative Inquiry is used as a means to engage with the data, looking at different types of affordance, i.e., individual experiences and outcomes. Corpus extracts illustrating these affordances then form the basis for the awareness-raising activity. This activity is completed by another group of student teachers, who go on to answer questions in an online task concerned with pedagogical content knowledge choices. It is shown how the awareness-raising activity impacts choices, opinions and teaching objectives, leading to increased learner-centredness and an overall sense of empathy and engagement. Negative affordances appear to attract particular attention, providing most changes in stance as participants embrace potential difficulties and individual challenges in their lesson planning.
Inoperable Renal Malignant Glomus Tumor, the answers for all the “W’s”?
Authors: Surianarayanan Pushkala , Ramdas Menon Arun , Sundersingh Shriley , Raja Anand
Published: March 2024

Glomus tumor, arising from glomus bodies (specialized neurovascular structures involved in thermoregulation), commonly occurs in extremities and rarely in viscera. The spectrum of glomus tumors range from benign tumors to tumors with uncertain malignant potential to tumors of the malignant subtype. A vast majority of visceral glomus tumors are benign. Most common visceral tumors arise in the gastrointestinal tract. Glomus tumors of the kidney are a rare entity of which malignant glomus tumors are exceedingly rare. The index patients in the existing case reports were middle-aged males. We report our experience with malignant glomus tumor of the left kidney in a 60-year-old female, with computed tomography (CT) showing involvement of renal vein and inferior vena cava (IVC). Percutaneous biopsy was performed as imaging did not conform to the appearance of a conventional renal tumor and was reported as malignant glomus tumor after immunohistochemistry. After informed decision, the patient and family elected to proceed with surgery. However, intraoperatively, the left renal mass was found to infiltrate the pancreas, duodenum, aorta, and root of the colonic mesentery due to which surgery was aborted. Biopsy obtained intraoperatively again confirmed diagnosis of left renal malignant glomus tumor. She had an uneventful postoperative recovery. Options of treatment were reviewed by a multidisciplinary board. In light of no proven benefit for systemic therapy, she was referred for supportive care. She was under follow-up and she expired after 7 months due to progressive disease. Our literature review focuses on the clinicopathologic features and the current standard of management of malignant renal glomus tumors.

Authors: TU Thach Ngoc , Tran Huy Q. , Nguyen Huong D. T. , Tran Nhung Thi , Nguyen Tung T. , Ngo Long H.
Published: March 2024

The iron-based metal–organic frame (Fe-MOF), VNU-20, and its carbonized analogues were synthesized. Subsequently, this material was investigated for electrical properties in comparison with the carbonized samples from other MOFs and ZIFs (such as ZIF-8, ZIF-67, MOF-199, MIL-53). The experiments showed the results with the reversible cyclic voltammetry (CV) curve characterized by the redox oxidation reactions of Fe(II)/Fe(III). Furthermore, the electrode composed of carbonized VNU-20 shows a comparable capacitance with that of carbonized ZIF-67, the highest capacitance material recorded up to date for the same class of materials. While further experiments need to be carried out for the optimization, initial analyzes show the promising result for further investigation and use of carbonized VNU-20 as the electrode material for electro-catalysis and the supercapacitor.
AÇÃO ANTRÓPICA NA EROSÃO DE SOLO EM BACIAS HIDROGRÁFICAS DO SEMIÁRIDO BRASILEIRO
Authors: Oliveira Mychelle Karla Teixeira de , Macedo Renata Cristina Borges da Silva , Rebouças Cristina Karine de Oliveira , Silva Kelem Cristiany Nunes
Published: March 2024

A erosão dos solos é extremamente variável e essa variabilidade deve-se ao fato das diferenças nas condições da superfície do solo ao longo da bacia, que afeta diretamente o escoamento superficial. Dessa forma, o objetivo do trabalho em questão foi realizar um levantamento bibliográfico sobre a erosão do solo em bacias geográficas do semiárido para melhor entendimento do assunto e da problemática envolvida. A erosão é tida como um processo de desgaste, transporte e sedimentação tanto do solo, quanto dos subsolos e das rochas causado pela ação da água, erosão hídrica, ou do vento, erosão eólica, bem como ação dos seres vivos. No Brasil, a erosão hídrica apresenta maior interesse, em grande parte na região tropical, por ser de ocorrência mais frequente, atuar com maior rapidez e causar altos prejuízos tanto no setor agrícola, como também a diversas outras atividades econômicas além do próprio meio ambiente. Com relação à região semiárida os processos erosivos tornam-se inquietantes, uma vez que o solo é cada vez mais vulnerável devido à ação antrópica intensificadora e à própria fragilidade do material pedológico.
Life of Word in Ideological War
Authors:   Liberal Arts University, Kalganova Svetlana O. ,   Ural Federal University
Published: March 2024

The study investigates the processes related to the word semantics in mass media texts in the time of acute ideological confrontation. The contexts in which the meanings of ideologically tainted lexemes are reinterpreted in light of both international and Russian social and political realities are considered. It is noted that there is a varying depth of the changes, i.e. different lexical meanings can be attributed to a word, e new semantic features may be added to word semantics, only evaluative connotations can be changed. The paper shows how “the motif of the war” influences the semantic transformations of various lexemes.
Canadian Journalism: Two Centuries of Missed Opportunities (1608–1806)
Authors:   Lomonosov Moscow State University, Ovcharenko Elena F.
Published: March 2024

The article analyzes how the events of the distant communication past affect the current information situation in the country based on the specific material of the two-century formation of a Canadian journalism. Under French rule, there were no printing houses and no press in Canada. Under the British regime, newspapers finally appeared, but English became the official language of the colony with a French-speaking population, and periodicals involuntarily, contrary to the proclamation of George III, chose “unofficial bilingualism”. However, the division of Canada by the political decision of the new metropolis into French-speaking and English-speaking ones in 1791 left its mark on all the subsequent development of journalism in the country: today two separate media systems continue to coexistt.

Possible research trajectories for the students in culture and art universities (on the Example of the Ekaterinburg Academy of Contemporary Art)
Authors:   Ekaterinburg Academy of Contemporary Art, Popova Viktoriya N.
Published: March 2024

The article is devoted to the development of research activities of students at universities of culture and art. On the example of the Ekaterinburg Academy of Contemporary Art, the problematic aspects of the formation of students’ motivation for scientific activity are considered. The analysis of the existing practices of involving students in the scientific context showed their inefficiency and the lack of motivation for a significant number of students to participate in scientific events. One of the reasons for this is the specificity of practice-oriented training, aimed mainly at developing an individual or group final product. Fundamental research in higher education institutions of culture and art is unclaimed by students as non-targeted areas of activity. To form the necessary skills of scientific work among students and develop an effective model for the development of student science, possible research trajectories are proposed (urban studies, contemporary art research, inclusion in the field of culture and art, and others), as well as formats of scientific events aimed at more active involvement of students in the discussion of scientific problems. In conclusion, the prospects for further research of this problem are presented.
STABILITY ANALYSIS OF A COUPLE-STRESS FLUID WITH VARIABLE GRAVITY IN A POROUS MEDIUM FOR DIFFERENT CONDUCTING BOUNDARIES
Authors: Choudhary Shalu , Devi Reeta , Mahajan Amit , Sunil
Published: March 2024

Models with higher order gradient terms are of considerable interest in modeling the transporting of biofluids in
biological systems. A horizontal layer of couple stress fluid is considered to model a system with a variable gravity field and conducting boundaries. The stability of the nonlinear model is analyzed by applying the energy technique and calculating the values of Rayleigh numbers (critical) numerically using the Galerkin technique for rigid-rigid, rigid-free, and free-free boundary conditions. It is observed that the increase in values of Brinkman number and couple stress parameter stabilizes the model. However, the critical values of the Rayleigh number are greatly influenced by the gravity variation models. The results suggests that the stability of the fluids with higher order stress contribution is highly influenced by varying gravity conditions, such as in space.

The article explores the problem of implementing intersectoral interaction between the state and the third sector, analyzed the main forms of interaction between the state and non-profit organizations. The main directions of expanding intersectoral cooperation and measures to support the development of the third sector by the state are considered. The study conducted the analysis of statistical data illustrating the dynamics of changes in the number of socially oriented non-profit organizations over the past decade. Data on the amount of financial support for socially oriented non-profit organizations at the federal level are presented. The results of a sociological study of the problems of implementation of intersectoral interaction in the city of Irkutsk are presented. The leaders of non-governmental organizations expressed their opinion on the legal framework for intersectoral interaction, types and forms of support, and assessed the effectiveness of state support measures for the third sector. The study found both difficulties and positive effects of intersectoral interaction. A number of proposals have been formulated to overcome problems in the interaction of authorities and structures of the third sector.
Root and canal morphology of the maxillary first molar: A micro-computed tomography-focused review of literature with illustrative cases. Part 1: External root morphology
Authors: Jonker Casper H , Van der Vyver Peet J , Oettlé Anna C
Published: March 2024

Cleaning and shaping of the root canal are profoundly affected by the complexity of root and canal morphology. Undiscovered roots or canals may lead to a reduced prognosis of a treated tooth as hidden causative organisms and their by-products can cause re-infection. Most maxillary first molars have three roots, namely mesio-buccal (MB), disto-buccal (DB) and palatal (P). They can be separate or fused, with incidences varying between populations. Anomalies have also been documented that include single rooted, double-rooted, four and even five-rooted teeth. Additional roots are mostly in the form of additional palatal roots and are known as either a radix mesiolingualis (RML) or radix distolingualis (RDL). This paper is the first of two giving an overview, focused on micro-CT, of available literature on various aspects of the root and canal morphology of the maxillary first permanent molar. The aim of this paper is to provide an overview of relevant aspects of the external root morphology in different populations. The content is supported by illustrative micro-CT images and case reports of rare morphological findings on maxillary first molars.

Reconditioning PCR for removal of PCR bubbles in Illumina librarys v1
Authors: Buchner Dominik
Published: March 2024

This protocol describes how to remove partly single-stranded PCR products ("PCR bubbles") from Illumina libraries. For more information about this phenomenon please see this explanation from Illumina. For metabarcoding libraries, it can be hard to estimate the optimal input template or the perfect amount of PCR cycles and therefore overamplification happens frequently. PCR bubbles cannot be quantified reliably with fluorometric-based methods and may look different on different capillary electrophoresis devices. PCR bubbles can lead to failed sequencing runs due to over- or underloading the flowcell.

Moral Values as Mediators in the Relationship between Prosocial Behaviour and Social Responsibility among University Students
Authors: Reig-Aleixandre Natalia , Obispo-Díaz Belén , De Dios-Alija Teresa , De la Calle-Maldonado Carmen
Published: March 2024

Universities must confront social challenges and prepare their students to be future socially responsible professionals. This research considers social responsibility in depth and examines how it can be promoted among university students. Specifically, it analyses whether prosocial behaviour and moral values are predictor variables, and to study whether moral values are a mediator variable between prosocial behaviour and university student social responsibility. Non-probabilistic convenience sampling was used in a Spanish university (N = 193; 115 females; Mage = 19). Three scales were applied: the University Student Social Responsibility scale, the Prosocial Tendencies Measures scale and the Importance of Personal and Professional Values scale. The results of the regression models showed that prosocial behaviour and moral values both contributed significantly to the model (F (2,196) = 41.979; p < .001), predicting 30.2% of university student social responsibility. In the mediation model, total effects between the variables were observed, as was an indirect effect of prosocial behaviour on social responsibility mediated by moral values (β = .07; t = 3.80; p < .001). This suggests that university programmes that seek to help the community and enable people to discover values will more effectively be able to develop social responsibility.

PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS OF OPTICAL WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEM DESIGNED BY USING DIFFERENT FILTERS
Authors: KAVAK Fethiye Merve , KAYA Duygu
Published: March 2024

Free space optical communication (FSO) technology, which has been developing in recent years, is advantageous compared to other wireless communication technologies due to its features such as high bandwidth, low latency, and high security. Since the FSO system is sensitive to atmospheric events, it needs various signal processing and filtering techniques to reduce the deterioration in the quality of the signal. The FSO free space channel has several channel types, such as the scattered channel and the optical wireless communication (OWC) channel. In this study, comparisons were made using various filters in an FSO system designed using the optical wireless communication (OWC) transmission channel model, and the system was analyzed based on the results obtained.
A NUMERICAL ANALYSIS ON THE SUBMICRON- AND MICRON-SIZED PARTICLE SEDIMENTATION IN A WIRE-TO-PLATE ELECTROSTATIC PRECIPITATOR
Authors: EKİN Orçun
Published: March 2024

Electrostatic precipitators (ESPs) are frequently utilized in collecting fine organic and inorganic materials from continuous liquid with few moving parts and high efficiency using electrically charging the particles. In this study, cross-sectional 2D geometry of a wire-to-plate electrostatic precipitator the parametric data of which originally published elsewhere was numerically modeled and validated to investigate submicron-micron particle charging in terms of diffusion and field charging mechanisms and precipitation behavior of particles with detailed electric field properties. Electric field, gas flow, and particle trajectory equations are coupled and solved in a multiphysics solver. Particle tracking is realized with the Lagrangian approach. Results indicate variations in electric field strength and space charge density between corona electrodes, with space charge present in the entire precipitation channel. Between two different charging mechanisms, diffusion charging prevails for charge accumulated on submicron particles, whereas field charging becomes dominant for particles larger than 1μm diameter. However, for the ESP configuration considered in this study, particles reach a charge saturation in less than 0.7 seconds, regardless of their size. Although calculated precipitation efficiencies for micron-sized particles can reach to 100%, efficiencies for submicron particle range drop with increasing particle size, as diffusion charging rapidly loses its effectiveness, in 50-250nm range.

Microwave Link License Fee for 5G Backhaul Connectivity (Study Case: Indonesia)
Authors: Yusri Alvin , Adriansyah Nachwan Mufti , Hanuranto Ahmad Tri
Published: March 2024

Frequency is a limited resource that cannot be made by humans. Therefore, its usage needs to be regulated so new technology like 5G still get frequency allocation. The 28 GHz frequency is an option that can be used in Indonesia for 5G technology, because it gets a large bandwidth allocation, namely 112 MHz. For the frequency to be used efficiently, one of the efforts is using the frequency license fee. In Indonesia, the frequency license fee is regulated in the regulation regarding BHP ISR for microwave link services. However, prices applied in Indonesia for 5G backhaul frequencies are too low compared to other countries such as India and Australia. With the same conditions, India applies Rp. 771,207,014, Australia Rp. 142,318,583, while Indonesia applies Rp. 32,949,287 for the frequency license fee. Based on the results of calculations, simulations, and changes to the components of the BHP ISR formula, it increases the frequency license fee to Rp. 81,320,400 which experienced an increase of 146%. The new price obtained is still below the price of other countries, because other countries have a larger GDP than Indonesia. This new price expected to make frequency usage more efficient and provide an increase in state income.
Implementation Licencing Regulations Telecommunications Network in The Omnibus Law
Authors: Jumhur Helni , Hikmaturokhman Alfin
Published: March 2024

The form manifestation of the omnibus law form is Law Number 11 of 2020 concerning Copyright. The law on telecommunications relating to Main Licensing and Technical Licensing has undergone significant changes. Implementing the licensing process requires changes and a common perspective in understanding the articles associated with the licensing process, especially in telecommunications. The problem experienced is that several articles in the omnibus law regarding licensing for the operation of telecommunications networks still need to be clarified, which can potentially cause different perceptions among stakeholders. This study uses a normative juridical analysis method using primary law to analyze the problems that are the focus of the research. The conclusion drawn from this research is the need to clarify the articles in Law 11 of 2020 concerning Job Creation and its derivative regulations regarding procedures for telecommunications operations other than those that already exist, which a Ministerial Decree can stipulate. There needs to be clarity in the rules regarding risk-based business licensing regarding how long the essential and technical licensing process takes and the need to attach a licensing SOP flowchart so that licensing stakeholders have the same perception of the licensing process.

The use of natural-based exterior thermal insulation systems constitutes a significant challenge for achieving energy efficiency of construction. The purpose of this article is to propose new exterior thermal insulation solutions based on natural materials such as wood wool, cellulose wadding, expanded cork, hemp fiber, and sheep’s wool, in order to minimize energy consumption, address durability concerns, maintain thermal comfort, and promote the use of natural materials in thermal insulation system designs. The methodology followed consists of presenting a comparative numerical study of different exterior insulation techniques (ETI) using a dynamic thermal simulator for desert regions. The study evaluated ETI systems for vertical walls attached to a concrete block wall, including one EPS system with coating (wet process) and six systems with cladding (dry process). The results show that applying exterior insulation to walls using the two cladding systems based on hemp fiber and sheep wool resulted in a total reduction in building energy consumption of 42.21% and 42.81%, respectively. These results confirm the effectiveness of natural materials in improving the energy performance of buildings, particularly the system based on sheep wool.

Background: Jaundice is one of the most common problems occurring in newborns. Severe neonatal hyperbilirubinemia is a common cause of sensory neural hearing loss. It is important to identify and treat the jaundice early, to prevent complications like encephalopathy leading to hearing loss. Early detection of hearing loss is important for early intervention. The aim of the study was to evaluate the prevalence of sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) in children with hyperbilirubinemia and to correlate the degree of hearing loss with degree of hyperbilirubinemia.
Methods: The 50 cases including newborn and young children (<12 years of age) having history of hyperbilirubinemia and exchange transfusion were included in this study. After the approval and clearance from institutional ethical committee, this study was conducted from April 2021 to March 2022 in the department of ENT, govt. medical college Amritsar in co-ordination with department of pediatrics.
Results: On comparing brain stem evoked response audiometry (BERA) and otoacoustic emissions (OAE) results, it was found that out of 50 patients BERA was abnormal in 8 patients while 42 had normal BERA. 18% (9) patients had abnormal OAE results out of which 7 had bilateral REFER result while 2 had unilateral REFER result. On comparing the OAE and BERA for sensitivity and specificity, the sensitivity was 92.9% in right ear while specificity was 62.5%, whereas in left ear sensitivity was 95.2% while specificity was 75%.
Conclusions: According to our study the prevalence of sensorineural hearing impairment comes out to be 16% as per BERA. BERA is more sensitive and specific as compared to OAE. But still OAE can be used as screening test considering the cost factor and ease of conducting OAE test while BERA is a confirmatory test for SNHL.
