Good Filling

An experimental program was undertaken to evaluate the performance of self-consolidating mortar designed for filling small annular spaces for the rehabilitation of underground water line or sewage pipelines. The study also intended to establish a testing protocol to validate the workability of repair grout. All the investigated mixtures had good filling and passing ability with adequate retention of workability over 3 h. The repair mortars exhibited high stability with bleeding lower than 0.3% compared to 3% bleeding in the case of the reference neat cement grout. The reference grout had a lower plastic viscosity and higher slump flow values than the sanded repair grouts. A V-funnel with 30 mm × 30 mm overture and a flow cone with 12.7 mm overture are recommended for mortar made with concrete sand with a 5 mm nominal size and micro mortar with fine sand with a nominal size up to 3 mm, respectively.

Auditory Research

The National Center for Rehabilitative Auditory Research has developed a protocol to provide early identification of ototoxicity for patients receiving ototoxic medications. The initial work involved patients with relatively good high-frequency hearing and resulted in the use of an individualized, sensitive frequency range separated by 1/16th-octave intervals. This protocol tested puretone frequencies at 1/6th-octave steps above 9 kHz, but only conventional audiometric frequencies were tested below 9 kHz. More recently, the testing protocol was expanded to include 1/6th-octave testing below 9 kHz. The primary question of interest was to determine whether adding 1/16th-octave test frequencies below 9 kHz would increase the ototoxicity detection rate for patients with poorer hearing. Results indicated 76 of the 210 (36.2%) ears that demonstrated initial ototoxic hearing change would have been missed or detected later if only conventional frequency testing was conducted. Therefore, for individuals with poorer hearing, expanding the use of the 1/16th-octave test protocol provides earlier identification of ototoxicity.

Testing Protocol

The two-point discrimination (2PD) test is the most frequently used test for the assessment of the sensory outcome after nerve repair. Here we focus on factors which explain the enormous and implausible variability in reported 2PD levels after nerve repair. We conclude that the 2PD testing technique is not at all standardized and that its use as the sole test for tactile gnosis recovery should be seriously questioned. Reports of 2PD results should always be accompanied by a detailed description of how the test was performed, especially with reference to the pressure applied and the testing protocol.
