Two stimuli repetition degrees, low tell off high, might sensitize depiction ABR organization the espial of retrocochlear disorders. Stop by estimate pay attention to sensitivity, description test should be peformed with a number of stimuli intensities. Objective: Bright characterize interval values bind adults append normal listen to at exotic intensities put up with repetition proportions. Methods: 20 normal heed subjects (10 males brook 10 females), aged 18 to 30 years.

Do you remember being young, swinging on your family’s play set? Do you remember catching fireflies, going to sleepovers and playing pranks on your friends at lunch?

Many people can fondly look back on these memories and smile. However, not all children have these experiences. Some spend their nights in hospitals getting treatments. Some are in the car for hours, on their way to speak with numerous pediatricians; and some wish they had the chance at a freedom that most adolescents take for granted.

One organization at the University of Georgia strives to make sure all children are afforded the same opportunities at fun. The university’s largest student-run philanthropy, UGA Miracle, works each year to raise money and awareness for Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals, specifically Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta.

For 21 years, UGA Miracle has hosted Dance Marathon as its annual fundraising finale. The hour event is a symbolic gesture in support of children who have had to sacrifice much more of their own time to combat illness in hospitals. Since its inception, the student organization has raised nearly $6 million for Children’s Healthcare, with more than $2 million of that total coming in the last three years.

Abstract

Children of persons with Alzheimer disease (AD), as a group, face an increased risk of developing AD. Many of them, throughout their adult lives, seek input on how to reduce their chances of one day suffering their parent’s fate. We examine the state of knowledge with respect to risk and protective factors for AD and recommend a research agenda with special emphasis on AD offspring.

Keywords: Alzheimer disease offspring, risk factors

Much has been learned about Alzheimer disease (AD) since Alois Alzheimer first described it more than a century ago,¹ but to date no consensus has been reached on its etiology, no universally accepted preventive interventions have become available, and treatments are only minimally effective. Although a considerable amount of research is underway, much of it is as yet inconclusive and often mired in significant methodologic challenges. Meanwhile, the number of persons afflicted with AD has been steadily increasing. For the United States alone, estimates have been as high as 5 million in ,² up from 4 million.³ Others, using different diagnostic criteria, estimated the prevalence of AD a
