Continuity of the incudostapedial joint: a novel prognostic factor in postoperative hearing outcomes in congenital aural atresia.

abstract：CONCLUSION:Nitric oxide synthase (NOS) II induction is a protective mechanism against age-related degeneration of the cochlea. OBJECTIVES:An induction of NOS II has been described in different inner ear pathologies. The objective was to examine the role of NOS II in age-related degeneration of the cochlea. METHODS:Th...
