HDL Subclass Distribution Shifts with Increasing Central Adiposity by Nicholas J. Woudberg, Sandrine Lecour, Julia H. Goedecke

“…Although cross-sectional studies have shown that obesity is associated with lower concentrations of large high-density lipoprotein (HDL) subclasses, it is unknown if changes in HDL subclasses are related to changes in body fat and its distribution over time. We therefore assessed changes in HDL subclass distribution over a 5.5-year free-living follow-up period in 24 black South African women. …”

Unraveling Cochlear Dynamics: The Effect of Clicks, Tone Burst Frequencies, Polarity, and Stimulus Rates on Cochlear Microphonics in Individuals with Normal Hearing by Prajwal Kumar Eranna, Gowtham Varma, Animesh Barman

“…Background: Despite cochlear microphonic’s potential clinical application, especially in ANSD diagnosis, the optimal parameters to record cochlear microphonics and the effect of various stimulus parameters are not well understood yet, which makes its recording a difficult procedure. The present study was undertaken to determine the effect of stimulus polarity, rate, stimulus type, and stimulus frequency on different aspects of cochlear microphonics, which could help to decide an optimal stimulus parameter that can be used to record CM. …”
