Potential patients with chronic HCV infection were recruited by checking the medical records of the

1.0 Background While atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common sustained cardiac arrhythmia requiring therapy, it is also associated with increased risk of stroke, heart failure, myocardial infarction, dementia, and death.

BACKGROUND: For the pathogenesis of inner ear hydrops resulting in Meniere's attacks, plasma vasopressin elevation due to stress and V2 receptor overexpression in the inner ear could be essential as a basis of this disease. In the present study, we'd like to find the effective and feasible way to

Randomized double-blind controlled trial. Patients with unilateral Meniere's disease that suffer from recurring vertigo attacks are allocated to either a verum or a placebo device and are treated for 4 months. Before during and after the treatment period, subjective and objective audiovestibular

Methods: Between 1998 and 2006, we enrolled and assigned 105 intractable Meniere's patients to examine plasma vasopressin during remission of vertigo attacks (controls: 30 patients with chronic otitis media). Using the real-time PCR method, we examined V2R mRNA expression in the endolymphatic sac in

Meniere's disease characterized by recurrent attacks of vertigo, fluctuating hearing loss and tinnitus, is a common disease with an incidence of 15-50 per 100,000 population. Some patients with Meniere's disease are strongly prevented from participating in activities of daily life and interaction
