项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The overall theme of the 13th Symposium on Cochlear Implants in Children to be held in Chicago, IL July 14- 16, 2011 is "helping children achieve their full potential". The goal is to motivate future research and advance clinical care, educational practices and technology development in the field of pediatric cochlear implantation. We anticipate significant attendance from North America with approximately 1000 expected delegates. Over 2.5 days, the 2011 Symposium will bring together basic and clinical scientists representing diverse disciplines to contribute to planned podium and poster presentations. In addition, open discussion formats and panels will foster the exchange of information across disciplines. Invited presentations and contributed papers will be organized around the following three key areas: 1) Cochlear Implants, Learning and the Brain. We will examine the role of higher level cognitive processes in accounting for variability in cochlear implant outcomes and explore the factors that facilitate successful learning in children with cochlear implants; 2) New Frontiers in Pediatric Cochlear Implant Candidacy and Clinical Management. We will consider pediatric candidacy, surgical and programming issues, including the expansion of pediatric candidacy criteria, the need for and timing of bilateral implantation in children and the importance of hearing preservation in the pediatric population; 3) Improving Speech Perception and Beyond. We will examine current research on children's processing of spoken language (including tonal languages) and of non-linguistic stimuli such as music. The behavioral and neurocognitive effects of new training paradigms intended to enhance linguistic and non-linguistic processing will be considered. A series of 30-minute keynote addresses in each key area will be followed by featured podium presentations from investigators working in related areas. Modest funds are requested to cover domestic travel costs for keynote speakers. To foster the development of promising young scientists and clinicians in fields related to cochlear implantation, the 2011 Symposium will introduce a Mentored Doctoral Student Poster Session. Presenters in this session must be doctoral students (e.g., MD, PhD, and AuD), residents or postdoctoral fellows in a field related to cochlear implantation. Funding is requested provide partial support for registration, travel and hotel costs for 25 pre- or postdoctoral awardees. To disseminate information with a wider audience, the 2011 Symposium will invite selected presenters to submit manuscripts for publication in a special issue of Otology and Neurotology. We are requesting funds to help defray costs associated with the planned publication. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: The goal of the Symposium is to provide investigators and clinicians with an environment to discuss complex and evolving issues related to cochlear implants in children. Multidisciplinary discourse is needed to provide direction for future research, and to facilitate use of best clinical practices based on current knowledge, in order to improve outcomes for implanted children.

描述（由申请人提供）：将于2011年7月14日至16日在伊利诺伊州芝加哥举行的第13届儿童髋关节植入物研讨会的总体主题是“帮助儿童充分发挥潜力”。其目标是激励未来的研究，并推进儿科人工耳蜗植入领域的临床护理，教育实践和技术开发。我们预计北美地区将有大约1000名代表出席。在2.5天，2011年研讨会将汇集基础和临床科学家代表不同学科作出贡献，计划讲台和海报介绍。此外，公开讨论的形式和小组讨论将促进跨学科的信息交流。邀请演讲和贡献论文将围绕以下三个关键领域组织：1）髋关节植入物，学习和大脑。我们将研究更高层次的认知过程在解释人工耳蜗植入结果的可变性中的作用，并探索促进人工耳蜗植入儿童成功学习的因素; 2）儿科人工耳蜗植入体植入和临床管理的新前沿。我们将考虑儿科候选人资格、手术和编程问题，包括儿科候选人资格标准的扩展、儿童双侧植入的必要性和时机以及儿科人群听力保护的重要性; 3）改善言语感知及其他。我们将研究儿童对口语（包括音调语言）和非语言刺激（如音乐）的处理。将考虑旨在增强语言和非语言处理的新训练范式的行为和神经认知效果。在每个关键领域作一系列30分钟的主旨发言后，将由在相关领域工作的调查人员在讲台上作专题介绍。请拨少量资金，以支付主旨发言人的国内旅费。为了培养耳蜗植入相关领域有前途的年轻科学家和临床医生，2011年研讨会将推出一个指导博士生海报会议。本次会议的演讲者必须是博士生（例如，医学博士、博士和AuD）、人工耳蜗植入相关领域的住院医师或博士后研究员。申请资助的目的是为25名博士前或博士后获奖者提供部分注册、差旅和住宿费用。为了向更广泛的受众传播信息，2011年研讨会将邀请选定的演讲者提交手稿，以便在《耳科学和神经耳科学》特刊上发表。我们正在申请资金，以帮助支付与计划出版有关的费用。公共卫生关系：研讨会的目标是为研究人员和临床医生提供一个环境，讨论与儿童人工耳蜗植入相关的复杂和不断发展的问题。需要多学科的话语为未来的研究提供方向，并促进基于现有知识的最佳临床实践的使用，以改善植入儿童的结局。
