Impact of early cochlear implantation on the linguistic development of the deaf child.

30 Aug 2009 OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to examine prognostic factors of cochlear implantation and to evaluate the impact of early implantation on linguistic development in deaf children. STUDY DESIGN: Retrospective study. SETTING: Tertiary ... Read more...

Radial forearm-palmaris longus tenocutaneous free flap; implication in the repair of the moderate-sized postoncologic soft palate defect.

30 Aug 2009 BACKGROUND: Moderate resection of the soft palate results in suboptimal outcomes in terms of postoperative velopharyngeal function. We propose the radial forearm tenocutaneous free flap incorporating the palmaris longus tendon for reconstruction of ... Read more...

Not all disfluencies are are equal: The effects of disfluent repetitions on language comprehension.

20 Aug 2009 Disfluencies can affect language comprehension, but to date, most studies have focused on disfluent pauses such as er. We investigated whether disfluent repetitions in speech have discernible effects on listeners during language comprehension, and ... Read more...
