Dehydroepiandrosterone Sulfate Reduces Acoustic Injury of the Guinea-Pig Cochlea
The present study was performed to determine effects of dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEAS), COOKING a neurosteroid, on acoustic injury.Albino guinea pigs were exposed to a 2 kHz pure tone of 120 or 125 dB sound pressure level for 10 min immediately after intravenous administration of DHEAS.Statistically significant improvement in the compound a
Direct north-south synchronization of abrupt climate change record in ice cores using Beryllium 10
A new, decadally resolved record of the <sup>10</sup>Be peak at 41 kyr from the EPICA Dome C ice core (Antarctica) is used to match it with the same peak in the GRIP ice core ROSE PURE CASTILE SOAP (Greenland).This permits a direct synchronisation of the climatic variations around this time period, independent of uncertainties related t
