Aperda auditiva, tanto temporária quanto permanente, causada pela exposição a ruídos intensos, foi tema de um novo estudo conduzido com ratos, apontando também para um possível tratamento em desenvolvimento.

Publicado na revista Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (Pnas) e liderado pela Universidade de Pittsburgh (Estados Unidos), o estudo destaca que a perda auditiva relacionada ao ruído resulta de danos celulares no ouvido interno associados ao excesso de zinco, um mineral essencial para o funcionamento celular e auditivo.

Enquanto alguns experimentam perda auditiva devido a lesões auditivas traumáticas agudas, outros observam uma perda repentina, temporária ou permanente após exposição contínua a ruídos altos, como em obras ou concertos barulhentos.

A equipe, liderada por Thanos Tzounopoulos, concentrou-se em compreender os fundamentos mecânicos dessa condição para estabelecer as bases para futuros tratamentos eficazes e minimamente invasivos.

Em experimentos com ratos e células do ouvido interno, descobriu-se que, horas após exposição a ruídos altos, os níveis de zinco no ouvido interno aumentavam significativamente. A exposição a sons altos causava uma liberação intensa de zinco, levando a danos celulares e interrompendo a comunicação normal entre as células.

A perda auditiva induzida por ruído pode ser debilitante, causando até zumbido. Entretanto, o estudo sugere uma possível solução, indicando que ratos tratados com um composto de liberação lenta que retinha o excesso de zinco eram menos propensos à perda auditiva e protegidos contra danos induzidos pelo ruído.

Medicamentos que atuam como “esponjas moleculares,” retendo o excesso de zinco, podem ajudar a restaurar a audição ou prevenir perdas futuras. Os pesquisadores estão desenvolvendo um tratamento para testes pré-clínicos de segurança, visando oferecê-lo como opção de venda livre para proteção auditiva.

  1. OK — been using this thing for something like four months now and it’s basically bookmarked at this point, reckon I’d say something since someone asked me last week. I’m based in the UK, mostly stick to footie and the horses, small stakes, for context.

    What got me on it was genuinely a bit daft — I never could work out what an each way return actually came to with 1/5 odds a place. Basically I’d guess and moan when the payout landed. These days I punch the numbers in before every slip, even the boring singles.

    The single bet calculator is the bit I’m on daily — you put in your stake, the odds and you get returns with no faffing, fractions or decimals. Same tool covers the fiddly ones — trebles maths, lucky 15s, patents and yankees, and that’s where I always got it wrong. Have a go yourself, it lives at betting overround calculator and it’s free with no account nonsense.

    What really made a difference was the nerdier bits. There’s an implied probability calculator which shows you how much the bookie’s taking, plus a kelly criterion tool — I run quarter kelly because full kelly is terrifying. The dutch tool gets used a fair bit for when I’m splitting a race.

    Not all sunshine though. Its layout looks pretty plain — not much frills, it’s clearly function over form. On mobile it works but the bigger tables are a squeeze. There’s no proper app, it’s browser only — doesn’t bother me but worth saying.

    Anyway. Free, barely any ads, works. If anyone honestly works out returns on a calculator app, give it a go — saves me a load of arguments with the bookie.

  2. So — been on this thing for something like five months now and it’s basically bookmarked at this point, reckon I’d write something up since a lad on another thread asked me the other day. Am UK based, mainly do football and horses, a fiver here and there, just so you know where I’m coming from.

    How I found it was genuinely embarrassing — I could never figure out what an each way return would be when the place terms changed. I used to just wing it and then be surprised. These days I punch the numbers in first, every time, even a straight one-selection punt.

    Their single bet calculator is the bit I open most — type in your stake, the odds and it shows returns straight away, fractions or decimals. There’s also the bigger stuff — trebles returns, lucky 15s, patents and yankees, which is where I always got it wrong. Have a go yourself, it lives at sports odds converter and it’s free with no account nonsense.

    The thing that actually changed how I bet was the geekier extras. They’ve got an implied probability converter and it makes obvious the overround, and a kelly staking tool — I stick to fractional kelly because full kelly is terrifying. Dutching calculator is decent if I’m splitting a race.

    Couple of gripes. The layout feels pretty plain — zero polish, which honestly I don’t mind but some will. On my phone it’s fine though the lucky 63 breakdown are a squeeze. And nothing on the app store, it’s browser only — doesn’t bother me but worth saying.

    Right, that’s me. Free, not plastered in adverts, does the job. If you even now adds it up in their head, have a look — saves me a fair few arguments with the bookie.

  3. Right — been on this thing for something like five months now and it’s stuck on my phone, so thought I’d chuck my thoughts in since a lad on another thread asked me the other day. I’m in the UK, generally do football and horses, a fiver here and there, just so you know where I’m coming from.

    How I found it was honestly a bit daft — I never could figure out what an ew return actually was with 1/5 odds a place. I’d just wing it and get a shock. These days I type the odds in first, every time, even a simple single bet.

    Their single bet calculator is the part I use most — type in stake and odds and it spits out returns instantly, either odds format. There’s also the bigger stuff — trebles maths, a lucky 15, patents and yankees, which is where I always got it wrong. Have a go yourself, it’s over at bet matching calculator and there’s no login wall, which I appreciated.

    One thing that genuinely changed how I bet is the more serious tools. There’s an probability calculator that shows the overround, and there’s the kelly criterion tool — I stick to fractional kelly because full kelly is a quick route to a dead bankroll. Dutching calculator is decent for when I’m splitting a race.

    Couple of gripes. The design is very functional, let’s say — zero polish, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. On mobile it works but the bigger tables need a bit of scrolling. And no app, it’s a website and that’s it — doesn’t bother me but worth saying.

    So yeah. Free, no ads shoved in your face, does what it says. If anyone honestly works out returns on a calculator app, have a look — saved me a fair few “wait, that’s it?” moments.
