Willing is not enough; we must do.” —Goethe Advising the Nation. Improving Health. The National Academy of Sciences is a private, nonprofit, self-perpetuating society of distinguished scholars engaged in scientific and engineering research, dedicated to the furtherance of science and technology and to their use for the general welfare. Upon the authority of the charter granted to it by the Congress in 1863, the Acad- emy has a mandate that requires it to advise the federal government on scientific and technical matters. Dr. Ralph J. Cicerone is president of the National Academy of Sciences. The National Academy of Engineering was established in 1964, under the charter of the National Academy of Sciences, as a parallel organization of outstanding engi- neers. It is autonomous in its administration and in the selection of its members, sharing with the National Academy of Sciences the responsibility for advising the federal government. The National Academy of Engineering also sponsors engineer- ing programs aimed at meeting national needs, encourages education and research, and recognizes the superior achievements of engineers. Dr. Wm. A. Wulf is president of the National Academy of Engineering. The Institute of Medicine was established in 1970 by the National Academy of Sci- ences to secure the services of eminent members of appropriate professions in the examination of policy matters pertaining to the health of the public. The Institute acts under the responsibility given to the National Academy of Sciences by its con- gressional charter to be an adviser to the federal government and, upon its own initiative, to identify issues of medical care, research, and education. Dr. Harvey V. Fineberg is president of the Institute of Medicine. The National Research Council was organized by the National Academy of Sciences in 1916 to associate the broad community of science and technology with the Academy’s purposes of furthering knowledge and advising the federal government. Functioning in accordance with general policies determined by the Academy, the Council has become the principal operating agency of both the National Academy of Sciences and the National Academy of Engineering in providing services to the gov- ernment, the public, and the scientific and engineering communities. The Council is administered jointly by both Academies and the Institute of Medicine. Dr. Ralph J. Cicerone and Dr. Wm. A. Wulf are chair and vice chair, respectively, of the National Research Council. www.national-academies.org COMMITTEE ON NOISE-INDUCED HEARING LOSS AND TINNITUS ASSOCIATED WITH MILITARY SERVICE FROM WORLD WAR II TO THE PRESENT LARRY E.

  • CHAPTER ONE What Is Biomedia?
    CHAPTER ONE What Is Biomedia? Can I Download It? Cultural anxieties concerning biotechnologies are often played out in the news media, where the latest reports on genetic cloning, stem cell research, gene therapy, and bio- terrorism all command a significant amount of reportage on current events. Each of these issues is a discourse of the body, and a discourse that articulates specific kinds of bodies (the body of nuclear transfer cloning, the body of adult stem cells, etc.). The issues they raise are difficult and contentious ones: In which cases should experimen- tation of human embryos be allowed? In which cases is human cloning warranted? How can engineered biological agents be detected in time to deter a bioterrorist attack? Too often, however, the solutions that come up are haphazard, ad hoc modifica- tions of existing legislation. For instance, the temporary U.S. presidential ban on human embryonic stem cell research in 2000 pertained only to federally funded research, not biotech companies such as Geron.1 Alternately, when policy changes are made, resolu- tions usually fall back on more traditional ethical models. An example is the U.S. pol- icy on human embryonic stem cell research, which in essence is a version of "the greatest good for the greatest number of people."2 That continued attempts are being made to formulate ethical approaches to such complicated issues is in itself encouraging. Yet, what often goes unquestioned, and un- contested, is whether the foundations on which such decisions are being made is in the process

  • Tinnitus What Is Tinnitus? Tinnitus Is Defined As the Perception of Sound When No External Sound Is Present
    Tinnitus What is tinnitus? Tinnitus is defined as the perception of sound when no external sound is present. The common vernacular is "ringing in the ears"; however, the quality of the tinnitus can range from roaring to hissing and chirping to clicking. Tinnitus can pulsate or be constant. It can be a single tone or multiple tones, and it's amplitude can vary from background noise to an excruciating experience. What causes tinnitus? Tinnitus has a variety of causes. The most common causes include wax in the ear canal, noise trauma or temporomandibular joint (TMJ) dysfunction. It can also be caused by Meniere's disease, endolymphatic hydrops, allergies, destruction of the middle ear bones, infection, nutritional deficiency, cardiovascular disease, thyroid disorders, certain medications, head injury and cervical disorders. Recently, migraine disorders have also been listed as a culprit. Regardless of the inciting etiology, it has been shown that the it is within the brain that the sound resides, persists, evolves and propagates. Tinnitus may begin with damage to the peripheral auditory system (the cochlea and auditory nerve), but its persistence is a function of the attention that it receives parietal cortex and frontal cortex), the importance that it is given (cingulate cortex, anterior insula) and it maintaining residence in the limbic system (the amygdala, hippocampus and thalamus). Ongoing research is being aggressively pursued to stop this feed-forward cycle in its tracks. Medications that may exacerbate tinnitus (adapted from Bailey's Otolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery 4th ed.) include aspirin and aspirin-containing compounds, aminoglycoside antibiotics, nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs and heterocycline antidepressants.
