Histomorphologische und immunhistologische Charakterisierung altersassoziierter Veränderungen der Cochlea bei Hunden

Scheil, Katrin 28 June 2010 (has links) (PDF)
Eine der häufigsten Behinderungen des alternden Menschen stellt die Beeinträchtigung der Hörfunktion durch degenerative Veränderungen der Cochlea, beispielsweise am Ganglion spirale, am CORTI-Organs oder an der Stria vascularis dar. Basierend auf histologischen und funktionellen Untersuchungen, wird die Altersschwerhörigkeit (Presbycusis) beim Menschen durch SCHUKNECHT und GACEK (1993) in sechs verschiedenene Typen eingeteilt: sensorisch, strial/metabolisch, neural, cochlear-konduktiv, gemischt, unbestimmt. Die in diesem Rahmen auftretenden pathophysiologischen und pathomorphologischen Veränderungen der Cochlea sind bedingt durch hörschädigende Faktoren (u.a. Lärm, ototoxische Substanzen, Infektionen sowie genetische Ursachen), die im Laufe des Lebens im Bereich des peripheren Hörorgans und der zentral auditiven Verarbeitung gewirkt haben. Die meisten in der Literatur beschriebenen Untersuchungen, die sich mit cochleären Alterationen mit zunehmendem Alter befassen, wurden an Labortieren unternommen und beschreiben oft nur Alterationen einzelner Strukturen, nicht aber der gesamten Cochlea. Bei Hunden sind in der Literatur überwiegend ausführliche Untersuchungen bezüglich der kongenitalen vererbten Taubheit, z.B. bei Dalmatinern, beschrieben. Es existieren jedoch kaum Studien über altersbedingte morphologische und funktionelle Veränderungen der Cochlea bei Hunden. Das Ziel dieser Arbeit besteht daher in der (immun-) histologischen Untersuchung der Cochlea von 50 Hunden im Alter von 7 Tagen bis 16 Jahren, um altersbedingte morphologische und funktionelle Veränderungen in der Cochlea von Hunden, die nicht unter Laborbedingungen gehalten wurden, zu charakterisieren und sie mit den Befunden an Innenohren von anderen Tierarten und des Menschen zu vergleichen. Anhand der erhobenen Befunde sollen anschließend eventuelle Rückschlüsse auf intra vitam vorhandene Hörstörungen gezogen werden.

The Relationship between Hearing Status and Cognitive Performance and the Influence of Depressive Symptoms in the Older Adult

Daugherty, Julie A. 10 March 2015 (has links)
Hearing loss and cognitive impairment are significant health problems, threatening the independent function of older adults. While there appears to be a strong relationship between the two conditions, the mechanisms underlying this association are complex and are not fully elucidated. The purpose of this secondary analysis was to explore the relationship between hearing ability and cognitive performance in older adults. In addition, this study attempted to examine the role of depressive symptoms in the relationship between hearing loss and cognitive performance. Comprehensive measures of peripheral hearing, central auditory processing and cognitive performance were utilized to examine these relationships in a sample (N = 30) of adults aged 60 years and older. The Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS) was used to assess depressive symptoms. Correlational analyses revealed a statistically significant relationship between central auditory processing and executive function. Statistically significant relationships were also observed between speed of processing and peripheral hearing as well as central auditory processing. No significant relationships were noted between depressive symptoms, hearing acuity and cognitive performance. While the correlation coefficients (r) for several of the hearing and cognitive performance measures were not statistically significant, medium effect sizes were detected, suggesting a moderate association may exist between these variables.
