The main purpose of the study is to estimate speech intelligibility in noise. A Norwegian Hearing in Noise Test (HINT) for children will be implemented, and test results for normal hearing (NH) children and adults will be collected. Test results for groups of hearing aid (HA) users and test results for cochlea implant (CI) users will be collected and compared to the NH group and between groups of HA users and CI users. A group of single sided hearing loss patients will also be included. Binaural benefits of two ears, two HAs and two CIs will be estimated.
The main focus of the project is to determine to what degree myocardial energy metabolism is linked to impaired function in human cardiomyocytes, whether exercise training and remote ischemic preconditioning can restore cardiomyocyte function and whether this is linked to improved mitochondrial and cell function.
RATIONALE: Monoclonal antibodies, such as rituximab, can block cancer cell growth in different ways. Some block the ability of cancer cells to grow and spread. Others find cancer cells and help kill them or carry cancer-killing substances to them. Lenalidomide may stop the growth of non-Hodgkin lymphoma by blocking blood flow to the cancer. It is not yet known whether rituximab is more effective when given alone or together with lenalidomide in treating patients with follicular lymphoma. PURPOSE: This randomized phase II trial is studying rituximab to see how well it works compared with giving rituximab together with lenalidomide in treating patients with previously untreated follicular lymphoma.
