The position of the cochlear electrode array within the scala tympani is essential for optimal hearing benefit. An intraoperative neural response telemetry ratio (NRT ratio; a threshold ratio of pairs of apical and basal electrodes) has been established, which can provide information about the intracochlear electrode array position. Out of a previous collective of 85 patients, the 6-month follow-up electrophysiological NRT data of 37 patients have been included in this study. Comparing the intraoperatively estimated NRT ratio with the 6-month follow-up NRT ratio, it remained unchanged intraindividually in 92% of cases. Within this group the NRT ratio and the intracochlear position of the electrode array matched in all cases. There were two newly occurring mismatches and one new match was observed. After a period of 6 months the NRT ratio remained unchanged in most cases and showed a good correlation with the intracochlear position of the electrode array.

Scanning microscopy was used to study the surface of human gallstones and the surface of fractures. The specimens were obtained by operation, washed with water, dried at room temperature and shadowcasted with carbon and aluminum. Most of the specimens belong to patients from a series of X-ray follow-up study, examined during the last twenty years. So it was possible to evaluate approximately the age of these gallstones and to get information on the intensity of growing and solving.Cholesterol, a group of bile pigment substances and different salts of calcium, are the main components of human gallstones. By X-ray diffraction technique, infra-red spectroscopy and by chemical analysis it was demonstrated that all three components can be found in any gallstone. In the presence of water cholesterol crystallizes in pane-like plates of the triclinic crystal system.
