Regenerative capabilities of the rat seventh nerve using suture and collagen splint techniques: a comparative study

This paper discusses the effectiveness of repair procedures on the rat facial nerve using the current clinical surgical procedure of suturing nerve ends and a proposed technique utilizing splints made of collagen.

A comparison of communication breakdowns and repair strategies used by cochlear implant children from two differenct methodologies

This study investigates how children with cochlear implants from simultaneous communications backgrounds and from oral education backgrounds experience communication breakdowns. The study examines each group's response to communication breakdowns and the repair strategies of each group.

Density of myelinated nerve fibers in the chinchilla cochlea

This paper reviews a study to obtain baseline values for the density of myelinated nerve fibers of the chinchilla cochlea.

Communication breakdowns and repair strategies in oral communication and total communication children with cochlear implants

This study assesses communication breakdowns in children with cochlear implants from oral and total communications backgrounds. More communication breakdowns occurred between the total communication child and the conversational partner than the oral communication child and the conversational partner. Both total and oral communication children used non-specific repair strategies.

Comparison of methods for enhancement of regeneration of the VII th nerve

This paper discusses a study to investigate the effectiveness of collagen splints for the enhancement of regeneration of the peripheral portion of the eighth nerve.

Eighth nerve degeneration in the deafness mouse

This paper discusses a study done to examine regeneration of spiral ganglion cells in the deafness mouse.
