dizziness/edema

The aim of this study was to investigate whether changes in the distribution of pulmonary blood flow and disturbances of the pulmonary microcirculation can be detected by use of inflow-outflow indicator-dilution measurements. In 18 anesthetized (N2O-piritramide) mongrel dogs 221 thermal-indocyanine

OBJECTIVE The aim of the present study was to examine the association of neuro-otological examination, blood test, and scoring questionnaire data with treatment-resistant intractability in idiopathic benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) patients. METHODS We experienced 1520 successive

OBJECTIVE To identify influence of orthostasis and daytime on retinal-thickness in cystoid-macular-edema (CME) using SD-OCT. METHODS In this cross-sectional study 18 eyes with uveitis-associated CME (uvCME) were included. Orthostatic-changes of retinal-thickness were analyzed using a Cirrus™ SD-OCT.

Forty patients suffering from idiopathic oedema were studied. The disturbance in water excretion is characterised by a delay in excretion of a water load (20 ml/kg body weight), an inability to decrease urinary osmolarity below 137 mOsm/1 standing (normal: 60 mOsm +/- 25) and an inability to

Baroreceptor-induced peripheral reflex vasoconstriction during upright posture is an important edema-prevention mechanism in humans. Congestive heart failure (CHF) has been associated with blunted baroreceptor control of regional blood flow during short-term head-up tilt. The effect of prolonged

A total of 1,067 patients complaining of hearing impairment, dizziness, and tympanophony were admitted for the treatment to the Surdological Department of N.I. Pirogov City Clinical Hospital No 1 during the period from 2000 to 2010. As many as 326 (30.5%) patients were preliminarily diagnosed with

OBJECTIVE To identify eventual correlations between the effect of low-pressure treatment and endolymphatic hydrops in Ménière patients. METHODS The study group consisted of subjects affected by definite Ménière disease (2015) and a severe degree of disability, who received a ventilation tube with or

OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to analyze the neuro-otological findings in patients with delayed endolymphatic hydrops and compare them with audiovestibular abnormalities found in patients with idiopathic endolymphatic hydrops. Study design A retrospective open case study. METHODS A

Nine patients with ipsilateral delayed endolymphatic hydrops were treated. All cases were initially treated by conservative therapy using isosorbide or other drugs and 4 patients have been doing well without surgical intervention, though they occasionally have slight dizziness. Five patients

We undertook a study to assess whether patients who had both spontaneous vertigo and headache would respond to treatment for endolymphatic hydrops rather than treatment for migraine. We also attempted to discover if there were any individual characteristics that might predict which patients with an

Several theories could explain the slow rate of edema formation in the feet of sitting or standing man. One possible mechanism is a rise in local plasma colloid osmotic pressure (pi p). We measured pi p in blood from superficial veins of warm and cold feet during orthostasis. The difference in

A 41-year-old woman presented with recurrent dizziness. After an attack of dizziness, she felt edematous sensations in her hands. However, according to photographs taken during the attack, the edema on the back of the patient's hands and fingers appeared mild. Laboratory examinations revealed a low

A syndrome of acute pulmonary edema has been previously reported among scuba divers in cold, European waters. Because of the temperatures involved, the name "cold-induced pulmonary edema" was coined in the original 1989 description. We report six individuals who developed the identical syndrome,

OBJECTIVE Although an increase in volume of the legs during prolonged standing is a well-known phenomenon, there is little information on the initial phase in orthostasis. The aim of this study is to measure the increase in volume and its distribution in the lower extremities during orthostatic
