Physical And Perceived Noise Levels Within The Neonatal Intensive Care Unit Of St. Louis Children's Hospital, Julie Berron
Independent Studies and Capstones
This paper studies the success of the renovation of the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit at St. Louis Children's Hospital in reducing noise levels and improving the work environment.
The Role Of Integrin Avb3 In Bone Remodeling, Natalie Ozburn
The Role Of Integrin Avb3 In Bone Remodeling, Natalie Ozburn
Independent Studies and Capstones
This paper examines the role of the avB3 integrin in osteoclastic resorption using a model of a localized inflammatory bone loss.
A Proposed Plan For Using Dr. Marie Carbo's Tape-Recorded Books To Improve Word Recognition Skills In Children With Cochlear Implants, Peggy Paris
Independent Studies and Capstones
This paper studies the effectiveness of the recorded books and teaching method developed by Dr. Marie Carbo in the aural habilitation of pre-lingual deaf children with cochlear implants.
Are Our Tests Accurate?, Amy Cassaw
Are Our Tests Accurate?, Amy Cassaw
Independent Studies and Capstones
This paper presents a study investigating the accuracy of two standardized individual achievement tests, the Wechsler Individual Achievement (WIAT) and the Peabody Individual Achievement Test-Revised (PIAT-R). The study compares the students' scores and includes students' opinions of the tests.
A Comparison Of Two Reading Programs; Spire And Scott Foresman, Amanda Cox
A Comparison Of Two Reading Programs; Spire And Scott Foresman, Amanda Cox
Independent Studies and Capstones
This paper presents a study comparing two elementary school reading programs, the Scott Foresman 2000 Reading series and the Specialized Program Individualized Reading Excellence (S.P.I.R.E.) program.
The Mainstreaming Process And Materials For The Mainstream Classroom, Kari Delzer
The Mainstreaming Process And Materials For The Mainstream Classroom, Kari Delzer
Independent Studies and Capstones
This paper studies the success of mainstreaming disabled students and specifically hearing-impaired students and the transitional procedures used by local St. Louis schools for the hearing impaired.
Changes In The Use Of Abr Testing For Differential Diagnosis Of Hearing Loss From 1984 To 2002, Lisa Dimaria
Changes In The Use Of Abr Testing For Differential Diagnosis Of Hearing Loss From 1984 To 2002, Lisa Dimaria
Independent Studies and Capstones
This paper studies trends in the use of diagnostic auditory brainstem response (ABR) at St. Louis Children's Hospital from 1984 to 2001 in light of legislative changes in Missouri mandating screening for hearing loss in all newborns beginning January 1, 2002.
A Retrospective Look At Cochlear Implantation Of Post-Lingually Deafened Children, Monique Ford
A Retrospective Look At Cochlear Implantation Of Post-Lingually Deafened Children, Monique Ford
Independent Studies and Capstones
This paper examines the benefit of relatively immediate cochlear implantation in post-lingually deafened preschool children as compared with initiation and continuation of intervention with traditional hearing aids.
The Prevalence Of Hyperbilirubinemia As A Risk Ractor For Hearing Loss In Newborns, Michael Scott
The Prevalence Of Hyperbilirubinemia As A Risk Ractor For Hearing Loss In Newborns, Michael Scott
Independent Studies and Capstones
This paper examines hyperbilirubinemia as a risk factor for hearing loss in newborns. Even though it is not a prevalent risk factor compared with other risk factors, low levels of bilirubin toxicity have been determined to have significant effects on hearing.
An Analysis Of The Relationship Between Immittance Results And Ac/Bc, Steven Smith
An Analysis Of The Relationship Between Immittance Results And Ac/Bc, Steven Smith
Independent Studies and Capstones
This paper analyzes subjects with air bone (A/B) gaps (a comparison of air-conducted thresholds and bone-conducted thresholds) and whether tympanometry (the type of tympanogram, static admittance, or peak pressure) can predict the size of the A/B gap.
The Effects Of Noise Exposure On Nitric Oxide Synthase Knockout Mice, Emily Timmermann
The Effects Of Noise Exposure On Nitric Oxide Synthase Knockout Mice, Emily Timmermann
Independent Studies and Capstones
This paper studies the role of nitric oxide (NOS 1, NOS 2, and NOS 3 genes) in the mouse cochlea and in noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL). Mice genetically deficient of the NOS 2 and NOS 3 genes were protected from NIHL, indicating that one or both of these genes may be responsible for producing nitric oxide that damages the inner ear when exposed to harmful levels of noise.
