Low serum folate levels: a risk factor for sudden sensorineural hearing loss?

abstract：OBJECTIVE:To develop a large animal model for studies of laryngeal abductor reinnervation. MATERIAL AND METHODS:Six minipigs underwent unilateral anastomosis of the phrenic nerve-abductor branch of the recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN). Polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) conduits were used for repair. At each of 30, 60 and 120 d...
