Hearing loss in congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) survivors: is it as prevalent as we think?
Neonatal screening identifies CDH survivors at risk for hearing difficulties but must be followed with comprehensive testing until school age. The incidence of SNHL may be less than previously reported in this population.
Eccentrically accentuated downhill running is associated with arterial stiffening in the absence of an extremely prolonged duration or fast pace. The timing of alterations coincides with the well-documented inflammatory response that occurs from the muscular insult of downhill running, but whether the observed changes are a result of either systemic or local inflammation is yet unclear. These findings may help to explain evidence of arterial stiffening in long-term runners and following prolonged duration races wherein cumulative eccentric loading is high.
