- 7th Portuguese audiology conference and 11th workshop of the ESS-P.PORTOPublication . Tomé, David; Pinto, Ana Isabel; Lopes, Paula; Oliveira, Vasco; Carmo, Paulo do; Marques, AntónioLast year’s 7th Portuguese Audiology Conference and 11th Workshop, held at the School of Health, Polytechnic of Porto, Portugal, was entitled “Audiology in the Digital Era”, reflecting the boom in the application of technology and software in clinical and daily life.
- Adaptation to european portuguese of the questionnaire Early Listening Function (ELF) – Função Auditiva Precoce (FAP)Publication . Carmo, Paulo Jorge Quintela Cardoso do; Lopes, PaulaIn children, hearing loss has adverse effects on the development of communication, in vocabulary, syntax, and expressive language, in speech production, and social and emotional development. Assessment of hearing loss can be performed quantitatively with psychoacoustic audiometric testing, such as pure tone audiometry, or physiological tests, such as otoacoustic emissions, and electrophysiological tests like auditory evoked potentials of the brainstem that allow quantitative assessment and topographic diagnosis. Qualitative assessment of hearing loss can use specific scales, such as Early Listening Function (ELF) developed by Anderson (2002), which is used by parents or caregivers of infants and children from 4 months to 3 years old.
- Análise dinâmica do comportamento mecânico do ouvido médio com prótese totalPublication . Gentil, Fernanda; Marques, Marco; Garbe, Carolina; Santos, Carla; Parente, Marco; Martins, Pedro; Jorge, RenatoO presente trabalho tem como objetivo analisar e caracterizar o comportamento do ouvido médio quando uma prótese total substitui os elementos da cadeia ossicular de forma a solucionar problemas de surdez de transmissão. com base num modelo geométrico da cadeia ossicular saudável, a partir de imagens de TAC, foi criado um modelo onde uma prótese total foi incluída, assim como todos os objetos inerentes a esta adição. Foi assim efetuado o estudo dinâmico de vibrações forçadas para um modelo utilizando o método de elementos finitos. Foram obtidos os deslocamentos ao nível do umbo e da platina do estribo, para diferentes níveis de pressão sonora aplicada sobre a membrana timpânica, quando presente uma cartilagem na interface membrana-prótese de diferentes diâmetros e espessuras. Os resultados obtidos foram comparados com o modelo da cadeia tímpano-ossicular normal. A utilização deste modelo tem como objetivo conseguir definir a técnica que promove, da melhor maneira possível, a performance de uma prótese total no ouvido médio. Com este estudo pode-se afirmar que a reabilitação do ouvido médio com próstese do tipo TORP apresentará melhores resultados quando são utilizadas cartilagens de 4mm de diâmetro, com espessuras entre os 0.3mm e os 0.4mm.
- Analysis of the combined exposure to noise and ototoxic substances—pilot studyPublication . Lopes, Marta; Tomé, David; Carmo, Paulo Cardoso do; Rodrigues, Matilde; Neves, PaulaOtotoxic substances have been associated to damage of the auditory system, and its effects are potentiated by noise exposure. The present study aims at analyzing auditory changes from combined exposure to noise and organic solvents, through a pilot study in the furniture industry sector. Audiological tests were performed on 44 workers, their levels of exposure to toluene, xylene and ethylbenzene were determined and the levels of noise exposure were evaluated. The results showed that workers are generally exposed to high noise levels and cabin priming filler and varnish sector workers have high levels of exposure to toluene. However, no hearing loss was registered among the workers. Workers exposed simultaneously to noise and ototoxic substances do not have a higher degree of hearing loss than those workers exposed only to noise. Thus, the results of this study did not show that the combined exposure to noise and the organic solvent is associated with hearing disorders.

- Auditory brainstem response in children with risk factor for hearing loss: comparative analysis between the use of different acoustic stimuli in electrophysiological findingsPublication . Quintela, Lara; Gentil, Fernanda; Tavares, João Manuel R.S.The auditory brainstem response (ABR) is classically evoked with the click stimulus. New stimuli, such as chirp, have been proposed with the aim of improving the identification of different types and degrees of hearing loss.
- Auditory event-related potentials in autism with generalized epilepsy and family members: case reportPublication . Coutinho, Susana; Tomé, David; Lopes, Paula; Marques-Teixeira, JoãoLast fifteen years revealed an exponential growth in endophenotype and biomarkers research field in autism and epilepsy. The main goal seems to establish the relationship between neurobiological processes underlying pathological mechanisms and clinical expression, to define better treatment strategies but also accurate diagnosis. Comorbidity of autism with epilepsy occurs in 30% of cases. However, little is known on the common neurophysiopathological mechanisms and possible biomarkers. Very scarcely is known concerning auditory event-related potentials (AERPs) as possible biomarkers of autism associated with epilepsy. Our aim is to explore putative neuropsychophysiological trait markers in a case study of autism with generalized epilepsy, and its unaffected family members compared to a control group.
- Biomechanical study of the vestibular system of the inner ear using a numerical methodPublication . Santos, Carla F.; Belinha, Jorge; Gentil, Fernanda; Parente, Marco; Areias, Bruno; Jorge, Renato NatalThe inner ear has two main parts, the cochlea, dedicated to hearing, and the vestibular system, dedicated to balance. Dizziness and vertigo are the main symptoms related to vestibular disorders, which commonly affects older people. In order to eliminate these symptoms a vestibular rehabilitation is performed; this consists in a range of movements of the head, known as maneuvers, performed by a clinical professional. This procedure does not always work as expected. The aim of this work is to contribute to a better understanding on how the vestibular system works. This knowledge will help in the development of new techniques that will facilitate a more efficient rehabilitation. In order to achieve that goal, a three-dimensional numerical model of the vestibular system, containing the fluids which promote the body balance, was constructed. The vestibular components will be discretized using the finite element method and the fluid flow will be analyzed using the Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics The results obtained with the numerical model of the semicircular canal built to study the rehabilitation process are presented and compared with other authors. The solution achieved is similar with literature.
- Cognitive auditory evoked potentials: advances and insights in NeuroaudiologyPublication . Tomé, DavidClinicians can now assess the peripheral auditory pathway with fair precision and reliability. There are psychoacoustic methods, such as pure-tone and speech audiometry, physiological methods, such as otoacoustic emissions and immittance measures, and electrophysiological techniques such as auditory brainstem response. However, it is in the auditory cortex that auditory and language neuroprocessing takes place. Auditory event-related potentials (AERPs), interpreted via cognitive psychophysiology, provide a theoretical rationale for assessing and investigating auditory linguistic neuroprocessing. This is important when we wish to consider clinical conditions which display language and auditory processing impairments, such as certain neurodevelopmental disorders.
- Comitês de ética na educação superior: da teoria à açãoPublication . Tavares, Diana; Cruz, Agostinho; Cabral, Ana Paula; Machado, Alberto; Sousa, Helena; Curado, Henrique; Faria, Isabel; Amorim, Manuela; Gonçalves, Maria João; Lopes, Paula; Monteiro, PedroAs Comissões de Ética são órgãos relativamente novos no dia-a-dia dos profissionais e investigadores da área da saúde. O Decreto-Lei n.º 80/2018 (15 / outubro) veio comprovar e validar a pertinência deste órgão nas Instituições de Ensino Superior. A Comissão de Ética da Escola Superior de Saúde tem alargado a sua atividade para além da avaliação de projetos de investigação. Os seus membros, enquanto profissionais e educadores, têm acompanhado a crescente e premente necessidade de humanização da saúde. Esta foi acentuada pela pandemia, devido ao agravamento da despersonalização do profissional e do paciente, mas igualmente enfatizada pelo desenvolvimento tecnológico, exigências burocrático-administrativas, implementação da inteligência artificial, entre outros. A nossa perceção é que a formação curricular em saúde não atende plenamente todas as necessidades, surgindo aqui a possibilidade de cada Comissão assumir um papel mais ativo na comunidade académica e profissional, promovendo uma formação contínua, passando da teoria à prática.
