Tinnitus treatment: clinical protocols/ [edited by] Richard S. Tyler, Ann Perreau
No full textIncludes bibliographical references and index"Since publication of the first edition in 2005, new developments have impacted the treatment paradigm for tinnitus, such as sensory meditation and mindfulness. Tinnitus Treatment: Clinical Protocols, Second Edition, by world-renowned tinnitus experts and distinguished authors Richard S. Tyler and Ann Perreau provides comprehensive background information, up-to-date strategies, essential tools, and online supplementary materials grounded in years of clinical experience and research. It fills a gap in graduate education and available materials to empower audiologists to effectively treat patients suffering from bothersome to severely debilitating symptoms associated with tinnitus or hyperacusis"--Neurophysiological Models, Psychological Models, and Treatments for Tinnitus / Phillip E.

No full textPtomaphaginus kurbatovi spec. nov. (figs 9-10). Type material.— Holotype ♂: Indonesia: Java, W Java, Mt. Gede, 1400-1500 m, 24-28. V. 97, leg. S. Kurbatov. Paratypes: same collection data data: 1 ♂, 3 ♀♀ (MHNG, CMPR); Indonesia: Java: W Java, Cibodas, 50 km E of Bogor, 1400 m. 3-6.xi.1989: 8 ♂♂, 5 ♀♀ (MHNG, CMPR). Diagnosis.— Habitus ovoid, size quite small. Male with a large flat plate extended on the central part of all the visible abdominal sternites, regularly widened from the front part towards the apex of the 6 th sternite, and not bordered with hairs. The place where the apical edge of the 6 th visible sternite meets this plate (the central third of its width) resembles a straight line, the apical edge is curved only on the two lateral third. This flat plate is similar to that of Ptomaphaginus agostii, but extends on all visible abdominal sternites, and is not limited to the third to 6 th visible sternite as in agostii. Description.— Habitus ovoid. Dark brown, the head and the pronotum darker than the elytra, the legs reddish brown. The first six articles of the antennae and the tip of the 11 th yellow, the other dark brown. Length: 1.90-2.25 mm (n = 6). Antennae 1.1 times as long as the width of the head. Male protarsus 0.7 times as wide as the protibia. Pronotum 1.9 times wider than long, the apical corners not drawn out. Elytra slender, 1.4 times longer than their combined width. Male with a large flat plate extended on the central part of all the visible abdominal sternites (see above). Aedeagus (figs 9-10) broad, the apex as wide as the base, not thinner at the apex as in the other species described in this work, the sides nearly parallel. Distribution.— Presently known only from two places on Java: Mt. Gede and Cibodas. Etymology.— dedicated to one of the first collectors of this species: Serguei Kurbatov.Published as part of Schilthuizen, Menno & Perreau, Michel, 2008, New species and new records of Ptomaphaginus Portevin from the Sunda region, Southeast Asia (Coleoptera: Leiodidae: Cholevinae), pp. 189-210 in Zool.

Resource allocation in adhoc networks using markov random fields
No full textWe present a general theoretical framework based on Markov Random Fields (MRF) for analysing the communication parameters of adhoc and sensor networks. The applicability and adaptability of MRF’s to this type of analysis is discussed. Simulation results based on alternative representations within the MRF framework are also presented.Sylvie Perreau and Sanjeev Naguleswara
Hyperacusis group educational sessions (Perreau et al., 2019)
No full textPurpose: Audiologists should be treating hyperacusis patients. However, it can be difficult to know where to begin because treatment protocols and evidence-based treatment studies are lacking. A good place to start in any tinnitus and hyperacusis clinic is to incorporate a group educational session.Method: Here, we outline our approach to establishing a hyperacusis group educational session that includes specific aspects of getting to know each patient to best meet their needs, understanding the problems associated with hyperacusis, explaining the auditory system and the relationship of hyperacusis to hearing loss and tinnitus, describing the influence of hyperacusis on daily life, and introducing treatment options. Subjective responses from 11 adults with hyperacusis, who participated in a recent clinical group education session, were discussed to illustrate examples from actual patients.Conclusions: Due to the devastating nature of hyperacusis, patients need to be reassured that they are not alone and that they can rely on audiologists to provide support and guidance. A group approach can facilitate the therapeutic process by connecting patients with others who are also affected by hyperacusis, and by educating patients and significant others on hyperacusis and its treatment options.Supplemental Material S1.

No full textNew genus and new species of Leptodirini (Coleoptera, Leiodidae). Three new genera and four new species of Leptodirini are described in this paper : Henrotiella eubeensis n. gen. n. sp. from Greece ; Deelemania pretneri n. gen., n. sp. and Leonhardia droveniki n. sp. from Bosnia ; Sinobathyscia kurbatovi n. gen., n. sp., from the province of Hubei in China. New collects of Phaneropella medea Perkovsky are recorded, bringing new informations about the morphology and the geographical distribution of this species. A new synonymy is established : Sciaphyes sibiricus Reitter, 1887 = S. kurbatovi Perreau, 1996.Trois genres nouveaux et quatre espèces nouvelles de Leptodirini sont décrits : Henrotiella eubeensis n. gen., n. sp. de Grèce ; Deelemania pretneri n. gen., n. sp. et Leonhardia droveniki n. sp. de Bosnie ; Sino-bathyscia kurbatovi n. gen., n. sp., de la province de Hubei en Chine. De nouvelles captures dePhaneropella medea Perkovsky permettent d'apporter des précisions sur la morphologie et la répartition géographique de cette espèce.

Revision of the genus Ptomaphagus Hellwig from eastern Asia (Coleoptera, Leiodidae, Cholevinae)
No full textThe species belonging to the genus Ptomaphagus Hellwig, 1795 (Coleoptera, Leiodidae, Cholevinae, Ptomaphagini) from eastern Asia are assigned to three species groups. Group yasutoshii has a single species: P. (s. str.) yasutoshii Nishikawa, 1993 from Taiwan, China. Group nepalensis with three species: P. (s. str.) nepalensis Perreau, 1988 from Nepal and P. (s. str.) masumotoi Nishikawa, 2011 from Thailand are redescribed, and P. (s. str.) piccoloi Wang, Růžička, Nishikawa, Perreau &amp; Hayashi, 2016 is recorded for the first time from China (Zhejiang). Group sibiricus with seven species, including two newly described Chinese ones P. (s. str.) funiu sp. n. from Henan, and P. (s. str.) haba sp. n. from Yunnan, and five known species: P. (s. str.) chenggongi Wang, Nishikawa, Perreau, Růžička &amp; Hayashi, 2016, P. (s. str.) hayashii Wang, Růžička, Perreau, Nishikawa &amp; Park, 2016, P. (s. str.) kuntzeni Sokolowski, 1957 (distribution records from Myanmar excluded), P. (s. str.) sibiricus Jeannel, 1934 and P. (s. str.) tingtingtae Wang, Nishikawa, Perreau, Růžička &amp; Hayashi, 2016. Specimens of other undescribed species of the group sibiricus are also recorded, revealing a high diversity of this genus in eastern Asia, especially in central and north Sichuan, China, which essentially remains to be investigated. Relevant morphological characters of the examined species are illustrated with colour plates, and their known distributions are mapped. A key to species of Ptomaphagus from eastern Asia is provided
