“…The relationship between chronic auditory memory and auditory comprehension was clarified in Leaf's study [28]. Auditory comprehension is one of the essential items in social communication [24], and its deficit is a prominent sign of Wernicke and sensory transcortical aphasia which is observed more in patients with severe brain lesions [29]. In existing research, low score of auditory comprehension skill had an adverse effect on mental QOL.…”

Objective and Background: This study aimed at determining the predictors of chronic physical and mental quality of life (QOL) in patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI) focusing on neuropsychological functions post trauma. Materials and Methods: This is a longitudinal study in which 257 patients having inclusion criteria were enrolled. Neuropsychological tasks including logical memory, verbal paired associates, visual memory, verbal expression, auditory comprehension, semantic judgment and semantic categories were implemented. The appearance of psychiatric disorder, Agnosia, Apraxia, Dysarthria and pragmatic linguistic disorder post trauma were evaluated at discharge. QOL was studied 6 months after injury by filling SF-36 questionnaire via phone interview with patients. Results: Appearance of some post-traumatic disorders including agnosia, pragmatic linguistic disorder and psychiatric disorder were significantly correlated to poor QOL. The final step of logistic regression model showed that TBI severity, verbal memory, auditory comprehension and semantic acceptability scores were predictors of unfavorable mental QOL as well as TBI severity, injury severity scale (ISS) score and multifocal lesions for unfavorable physical QOL. Discussion: Thus, it is recommended that clinicians choose medical therapeutic priorities to improve the verbal neuropsychological sequela and provide preliminaries for a chronic favorable mental QOL. Furthermore, to prevent of chronic unfavorable physical QOL, early care of organic injuries should be considered especially in patients with severe and multifocal TBI.

“…Evaluation of hearing loss was carried out using acoustic room and audiometer of amplivox DA260 with ear-phone model Telephonic TDH-39P in low frequencies (250, 500, 1000, 2000, 3000, 4000, 6000, and 8000 hertz). [14,[26][27][28][29][30] The audiometry test was carried out on all of the participants. Pure-tone air conduction threshold was conducted using Hughson-Westlake method.…”

Background: Noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL) is the most important physiological effect of noise that is the mechanical deterioration of outer hair cells in the organ of Corti. The study aim was to a comparison between puretone audiometry (PTA) and distortion product otoacoustic emissions (DPOAEs) methods in workers' hearing loss. Materials and Methods: A total of 120 workers were enrolled in the study, who worked in two production units of a company. Workers exposed to high levels of noise were divided into two groups of with NIHL and without NIHL. Then, their hearing status was evaluated using PTA and DPOAEs tests. Results: The results revealed a tangible difference between data obtained from PTA and DPOAEs methods between two groups and workers with normal hearing threshold experienced a high reduction in their DPOAEs range. This indicates a reduction in the number of outer hair cells of cochlea which is not detectable by PTA test. Conclusion: This study represents that DPOAEs can detect NIHL at earlier steps compared to PTA test. Therefore, it is recommended to use DPOAEs test in industrial environments for hearing screening test and early diagnosis of NIHL, instead of PTA.

“…Communication disorders may negatively influence patients' communicative activities and daily life, even years following trauma. Thus maintaining of communication abilities and (if lost) recovery seem be one of the most important part of the therapy and rehabilitation [2,3]. Cognitive deteriorations are commonly observed in patients with neurodegenerative diseases, after traumatic brain injury (TBI) or in poststroke survivors [4].…”

“…Traumatic brain injury (TBI) constitutes leading cause of long-term disability in people younger than 45 y.o. [2,12]. Brain injury location and severity are predictors of cognitive function after trauma and partial or complete loss of the initial consciousness level.…”

“…Brain injury location and severity are predictors of cognitive function after trauma and partial or complete loss of the initial consciousness level. For example moderate and severe fronto-temporal lesion usually affects linguistic processing in the acute phase what may contribute to later cognitive-communication disorders [2]. Due to complexity of communication function variety of deficits and subcategories is huge, thus establishing of the rehabilitation plan and predictors of recovery is very complicated.…”

S u m m a r yThanks to recent advances in health care an increased number of patients may recover from severe brain injuries, but some of them are still assessed as non-responsive. Reliance on behavioural measures in communication with DoC patients seems be too prone to errors. There is need for solutions providing more objective attempts of bidirectional communication (intentional questions/commands and adequate related responses) in patients with DoC using significant processed by the patient stimuli and novel technologies (EEG-, fMRI-, BCI-based, etc.) based on recent scientific and clinical evidences. Such communication may be fulfilled even in the absence of behavior.This article aims at assessment the extent to which current possibilities in the area of devices for extended communication has been exploited, including own experiences within InteRDoCTor project. S t r e s z c z e n i e Dzięki najnowszym osiągnięciom w opiece zdrowotnej coraz większa liczba pacjentów może powrócić do zdrowia z poważnych urazów mózgu, lecz część z nich jest ciągle diagnozowana jako niereagujący na bodźce. Poleganie jedynie na miarach behawioralnych w komunikacji z pacjentami z zaburzeniami świadomości wydaje się zbyt podatne na błędy. Istnieje zapotrzebowanie na rozwiązania zapewniające bardziej obiektywne próby komunikacji dwukierunkowej (celowe pytania/polecenia i odpowiadające im reakcje)u pacjentów z zaburzeniami świadomości, z wykorzystaniem bodźców znaczących dla pacjenta i przetwarzanych przez niego oraz nowych technologii (opartych na EEG, fMRI, BCI, itd.) w oparciu o najnowsze dowody naukowe i kliniczne. Ww. komunikacja może być realizowana nawet w przypadku braku obserwowalnych zmian zachowania pacjenta.Artykuł ma na celu ocenę, w jakim zakresie wykorzystuje się możliwości w tym obszarze, w tym w oparciu o doświadczenia własne z projektu InteRDoCTor.
