Constitutive expression of the alpha10 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor subunit fails to maintain cholinergic responses in inner hair cells after the onset of hearing.

17 May 2009 Efferent inhibition of cochlear hair cells is mediated by alpha9alpha10 nicotinic cholinergic receptors (nAChRs) functionally coupled to calcium-activated, small conductance (SK2) potassium channels. Before the onset of hearing, efferent fibers ... Read more...

The detection of pressure fluctuations, sonic audition, is the dominant mode of dipole-source detection in goldfish (Carassius auratus).

30 Mar 2009 Behavioral detection of a low-frequency (40 Hz) vibratory dipole at source distances of 1.5-24 cm was measured by classically conditioned respiratory suppression in goldfish (Carassius auratus). Detection thresholds were compared across distances ... Read more...

Pharmacokinetics of dalbavancin in patients with renal or hepatic impairment.

30 Mar 2009 Three open-label studies assessed the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of intravenous dalbavancin in patients with hepatic or renal impairment, including patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) receiving dialysis. In each study, 4 to ... Read more...
