ON THE DESIGN, FABRICATION, AND CHARACTERIZATION OF A NOVEL THIN-FILM ELECTRODE ARRAY FOR USE IN COCHLEAR IMPLANTS

On the Design, Fabrication, and Characterization of a Novel Thin-Film Electrode Array for Use in Cochlear Implants

Thin-film electrode arrays (TFEAs) have been developed as an alternative to conventional electrode arrays (CEAs) used in cochlear implants.However, TFEAs produced by microfabrication techniques have not yet been used clinically because their structural and mechanical properties are far from those of CEAs.The aim of this study is to design, fabricat

Identification of uncultured bacteria from abscesses of exotic pet animals using broad-range nested 16S rRNA polymerase chain reaction and Sanger sequencing

Background: The Sanger sequencing technique has been questioned and challenged by advanced high-throughput sequencing approaches.Sanger sequencing seems to be an obsolete technology.However, there are still research problems that could be answered using the Sanger sequencing technology.Fastidious obligate anaerobic bacteria are mostly associated wi
