The present study was aimed at developing a new strategy to design and anchor custom-fitted implants, consisting of a head fixation device and a chronic recording chamber, on the skull of adult macaque monkeys. This was done without the use of dental resin or orthopedic cement, as these modes of fixation exert a detrimental effect on the bone. The implants were made of titanium or tekapeek and...

The research projects reported in the present thesis deal with the auditory function and more specifically the topic dedicated to auditory rehabilitation with a prosthesis implanted into the cochlea: the cochlear implant (CI). Such prosthesis was used for about twenty years and already provides to numerous patients satisfactory conditions, excepted in noisy environment. From the point of view to...

Bacterial meningitis is characterized by an inflammatory reaction to the invading pathogens that can ultimately lead to sensorineural hearing loss, permanent brain injury, or death. The matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and tumor necrosis factor alpha-converting enzyme (TACE) are key mediators that promote inflammation, blood-brain barrier disruption, and brain injury in bacterial meningitis....
