This book was released on 2024-06-05 with total page 89 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Research Topic is the second volume of the Research Topic "Challenges and Current Research Status of Vertigo/Vestibular Diseases". Please see the first volume here. Vertigo or vestibular disorders have become a common handicap across the globe, which poses a great burden on health care resources. Vertigo is not a disease entity per se, but rather a leading symptom of many etiologically different diseases. These conditions include dysfunction of the vestibular system, both peripheral (inner ear, vestibular nerve) and central (brainstem, cerebellum), functional dizziness, and diseases of other causes, including blood pressure regulation disorders, such as orthostatic dizziness, and adverse drug reactions. Previous studies demonstrated that vestibular disorders might be a modifiable condition and a possible target for secondary prevention of cognitive impairment due to aging, dementia, social isolation, late-life depression, frailty, and increased risk of mortality. To date, the assessment strategy for patients with vertigo or vestibular disorders has not been fully developed. Vertigo or vestibular disorders are mechanistically complicated, highly prevalent, difficult to differentiate from other conditions, and may lead to vestibular or mental disability. Further understanding of the etiology, pathophysiology, diagnosis and treatment of peripheral, central, and functional vestibular vertigo syndromes as well as their management through this research program or project will benefit patients and their families, thus reducing the economic burden on society at large. The editors welcome any types of manuscripts --- Original Research, Opinions, Review, and Systematic Review concerning vertigo/vestibular disorders. The subjects include but are not limited to the following: • Epidemiological investigation of vertigo or vestibular disorders • Molecular and genetic studies of vertigo or vestibular disorders • Differential diagnosis of peripheral and central positional vertigo • Differentiation and treatment of Meniere's disease, vestibular migraine and their comorbidities • Recurrence and residual symptoms of benign paroxysmal positional vertigo • Inner ear malformation and vestibular dysfunction • Vestibular migraine and sleep disorders • Paroxysmal ataxia and dizziness • Vertigo and balance disorders (falls, abnormal gait, instability, etc.) • Vestibular testing and imaging in patients with vertigo or vestibular disorders • Cognitive impairment and vestibular disorders • Multisensory integration and vestibular disorders • Mental diseases (anxiety, depression, insomnia, etc.) and vertigo disorders • Research on vestibular compensation and rehabilitation training • Social and psychological aspects and burdens in people with vertigo • Vertigo and dizziness in older adults • Persistent postural-perceptual dizziness (PPPD) • Functional brain states in vertigo/dizziness • Neuroimaging in vertigo/dizziness

Download or read book Vestibular Evoked Myogenic Potential written by Toshihisa Murofushi and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2009-03-28 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The vestibular labyrinth consists of ? ve compartments: the lateral, anterior, and posterior semicircular canals, the utricule, and the saccule. At the beginning of the twentieth century, Robert Bárány proposed the caloric test as a clinical test of the lateral semicircular canal. This test enabled clinicians to assess the individual lateral semicircular canal function easily by using the simple method of irrigating the external ear canal with cold or warm water and observing the induced nyst- mus. We believe that the caloric test was a breakthrough in the ? eld of vestibular research. However, as far as the other compartments were concerned, there was no simple clinical test equal to the caloric test for the lateral semicircular canal function. At the end of the twentieth century, the vestibular evoked myogenic potential (VEMP) test was proposed as a new method for assessing the individual saccule function. This test has some unique attributes. First, it uses sound stimulation, even though it is a test of the vestibular system. This appears to be a contradiction n- rophysiologically. As a result, in its early stages there were controversies conce- ing the origin of the responses. However, such controversies have been overcome by basic neurophysiological studies and clinical studies. Above all, sound sensit- ity of the saccular afferents shown in cats and guinea pigs with single-unit recording methods became the main supporting evidence. Nowadays, VEMP is one of the routine clinical tests for balance disorder.

Download or read book Dynamics of Knowledge Intensive Entrepreneurship written by Franco Malerba and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-07-24 with total page 473 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Knowledge intensive entrepreneurship lies at the core of the structural shift necessary for the growth and development of a knowledge based economy, yet research reveals that the EU has fewer young leading innovators, and Europe’s new firms do not adequately contribute to industrial growth. This is especially true in the high R&D intensive, high-tech sectors. This structural malaise, undermining Europe’s growth potential, is well diagnosed, but poorly understood. This volume fills this important gap by exploring new firms that have significant knowledge intensity in their activity and develop and exploit innovative opportunities in diverse sectors. Through an evolutionary and systemic approach to entrepreneurship, focusing on knowledge intensive entrepreneurship as both a micro and a macro phenomena and analyzing firms in the context of various socio-economic models, the authors explore firms creation and origins around the world, their organization, strategies and business models as well as the role of innovation systems and institutions in their formation and growth. This comprehensive research text is vital reading for academics, researchers and students of high-tech and knowledge intensive entrepreneurship as well as those with an interest in industrial dynamics, innovation management and public policy.
Download or read book Third Mobile Window Syndrome of the Inner Ear written by Gerard J. Gianoli and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-01-05 with total page 519 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book aims to provide a deeper understanding of Third Mobile Window Syndrome and its various forms beyond just Superior Canal Dehiscence. It will illuminate the various presentations of Third Mobile Window Syndrome, provide the means for diagnosis, and elucidate treatments. The disorder Superior Semicircular Canal Dehiscence Syndrome was discovered in 1995 by Dr Lloyd Minor at The John Hopkins University School of Medicine in Baltimore. Though he published his findings in 1998, there remains no book wholly devoted to the topic. For this reason, many neurotologists and otorhinolaryngologists still misunderstand this condition and its presentation. Structured in six parts, the first part will be important in providing a context, and drawing together all of the learning that has been acquired since 1998, as well as explaining the complexities of the condition. The second and third parts will set out to detail all the aspects that are necessary for diagnosing a patient and then deciding on the best form of treatment, surgical or otherwise. Part four covers special situations, including bilateral SCDS and the pediatric patient. In part five, Philippa Thomson, a patient herself, will describe the patient perspective of symptoms and the complicated journey of identifying a diagnosis and securing expert care. Finally, part six covers future research. Third Mobile Window Syndrome of the Inner Ear: Superior Semicircular Canal Dehiscence and Associated Disorders will provide clinicians involved in the treatment of inner ear disorders, balance dysfunction, and dizziness with the expertise they need to assist patients with Third Mobile Window Syndrome. It will also supply useful information to neurotologists/otologists, otolaryngologists, and neurologists. Researchers in the field of inner ear disorders will also find this to be a valuable text.
Download or read book Bilateral Vestibulopathy Current Knowledge and Future Directions to Improve its Diagnosis and Treatment written by Bryan K. Ward and published by Frontiers Media SA. This book was released on 2018-11-02 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many patients with bilateral vestibulopathy experience chronic oscillopsia due to failure of the vestibulo-ocular reflex and gait instability due to failure of vestibulo-spinal reflexes. There are numerous potential contributing factors, however, many cases remain idiopathic. The diagnosis of bilateral vestibulopathy is often delayed, placing patients at risk for unnecessary diagnostic tests and late initiation of treatment. Novel diagnostic tests offer new opportunities to characterize patterns of vestibular impairment. With the advent of new therapies, there is urgency to define and better understand patients with bilateral vestibulopathy. This collection includes topics such as an exploration of the large class of patients with bilateral vestibulopathy currently considered idiopathic, by identifying novel pathophysiologic mechanisms. Other topics include a historical perspective on early recognition, the impact of bilateral vestibular impairment on quality of life, and how advances in diagnostics are refining our understanding of what it means to have bilateral vestibulopathy. New developments in treatment strategies for patients with bilateral vestibulopathy are also featured.
Download or read book The New Neurotology written by Pedro Luiz Mangabeira Albernaz and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-04-05 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Neurotology is a branch of medicine that focuses on diagnosing and treating neurological conditions of the inner ear and related structures. There have been many recent advances in neurotology that have been published in general medicine, otolaryngology and neurology journals. This comprehensive book will aggregate this information to provide a more complete picture of the state of the field and will include the authors’ own clinical experience. There is a recent marked increase in interest in neurotology, manifested by the clinical experiences and research-publication work of otolaryngologists, neurologists, neuro-ophtalmologists, audiologists and physiotherapists. As a result, this will be a completely state-of-the-art work that includes all up-to-date neurophysiological data related to the vestibular system. It has been estimated that 10% of patients that present at an emergency clinic have vestibular disorders, including vertigo, and these disorders are frequently a cause of falls in elderly patients. On the other hand, many physicians treat their patients with vertigo with vestibular blockers, which treat the symptoms but do not cure the disorders. We feel that it is important to supply a source of information on the vestibular system and balance disorders, and this title will do that in a comprehensive manner. This title will be an ideal reference for the diagnosis and treatment of vestibular disorders for otolaryngologists, neurologists, neuro-ophtalmologists, audiologists and physical therapists.
