OBJECTIVE
To compare the Galletti-Contrino manoeuvre with the more widely used Semont-Toupet in overweight subjects presenting with benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPBV) of vertical semicircular canals (posterior and anterior canals).
METHODS
Prospective cohort study.
METHODS
204 patients (BMI
A new therapy is proposed for the treatment of Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (B.P.P.V.) of the Posterior Semicircular Canal (P.S.C.): the Canalith Repositioning Maneuver (C.R.M.). The need for a new maneuver to treat B.P.P.V. of the P.S.C. arises from the difficulties encountered in daily
OBJECTIVE
The benign positional vertigo is a very frequent pathology. It requires to establish the diagnosis, to fixe the head in some positions to get various nystagmus which are observed directly or by video-nystagmoscopy or analyzed by video-nystagmography.
OBJECTIVE
To describe the diagnostic
Hyperinsulinism, impaired glucose tolerance, and hypertriglyceridemia may be risk factors for atherosclerotic heart disease and have also been described in patients with vertigo, whose symptoms and findings responded to appropriate dietary therapy. We studied 100 patients in an otolaryngology
Introduction Despite much advancement in medicine, endocrine and metabolic diseases remain an important cause of morbidity and even mortality in children. Objective The present study was planned to investigate the evaluation of hearing that also includes high frequencies, and the
The otologist frequently sees patients with progressive sensorineural hearing loss, subjective aural tinnitus and vertigo with no apparent cause. Elevated blood lipids may be a cause of inner ear malfunction on a biochemical basis. To establish the true incidence of this condition, all new patients
Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) is an effective treatment option in patients with morbid obesity, with rare long-term sideeffects. In this report, we present a 42-year-old woman who reported positional vertigo and unilateral gradual hearing loss plus continuous tinnitus after LSG. The patient
BACKGROUND
Vascular risk factors predispose to vertebrobasilar ischemia. Cervical osteophytes can impinge on the vertebral artery causing mechanical occlusion during head turning. Presentation with vertigo in such instances is a common finding.
METHODS
A patient with obesity, hyperlipidemia,
Vertigo, tinnitus, and hearing loss are common complaints among populations of industrial countries, especially in persons older than 40 years. Numerous agents are known to incite vertigo, tinnitus, and hearing loss, among them hyperinsulinemia, diabetes mellitus, and hyperlipidemia. In this study,
Forty pairs of biologically related mothers and children were recruited to determine (1) if differences existed in physical activity levels of obese and nonobese children and (2) if their activity or attitude toward it was influenced by maternal activity and attitudes. Ultimately, the goal was to
This study was an attempt to compare psychological and biological variables in 43 obese patients after intestinal bypass surgery. The difficulties in expressing the psychological variables quantitatively are discussed on the basis of the concept of transferability. By use of an expanded version of
We have evaluated the effects of dextrofenfluramine treatment on body weight control during a 90 day period, in obese patients on a calorie-restricted diet. The weight loss in dextrofenfluramine-treated patients was significantly higher than in placebo group. The rate of weight loss was linear up to
In this rapid systematic review, we studied the efficacy of the Gufoni maneuver for the treatment of lateral canal benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) with geotropic nystagmus.
A comprehensive search, including PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and Cochrane as data sources, resulted in 44
Life expectancy of people with depression is on average 15 years less than that of the general population. This excess of mortality is largely attributed to a deteriorated physical health. Evidence about the association between major depressive disorder (MDD) and physical health is The introduction of the Lempert or Baloh "barbecue" maneuver in clinical practice has resolved many cases of paroxysmal positional vertigo of the horizontal semicircular canal. Unfortunately, this maneuver is rather difficult to perform in elderly or overweight patients and in those with reduced
