Stratification of patients with Meni ère’s disease based on eye movement videos recorded from the beginning of vertigo attacks and contrast-enhanced MRI findings
ConclusionPatients were stratified into subgroups based on the presence or absence of EH and nystagmus. The side with cochlear symptoms was consistent with EH. The c-JSER allows for the diagnosis of early-stage MD patients, and it can be used to treat early MD and preserve hearing; however, this approach may also include patients with different pathologies.

Virtual-reality-enhanced mannequin to train emergency physicians to examine dizzy patients using the HINTS method
This study aimed to evaluate the training of emergency physicians for the HINTS method based on a mannequin-based virtual reality simulator (MBVRS).MethodsWe conducted a monocenter, prospective, longitudinal, and randomized cohort study in an Emergency Department at a regional university hospital. We included 34 emergency physicians randomized into two equal groups matched by age and professional experience. The control group attended a theoretical lesson with video demonstrations and the test group received a simulation-based training in addition to the lecture.ResultsWe showed that the test group had a higher diagnosis p...

Dynamics and concordance alterations of regional brain function indices in vestibular migraine: a resting-state fMRI study
ConclusionTemporal dynamics and concordance of regional iBA indices were altered in the motor cortex, cerebellum, occipital and temporoparietal cortex, which may contribute to disrupted multisensory processing and vestibular control in patients with VM. ALFF dynamics in the left MOG may be useful biomarker for evaluating vertigo burden in this disorder. (Source: The Journal of Headache and Pain)

Bilateral Sudden Irreversible Hearing Loss in a Case of Chronic Myeloid Leukaemia: A Case Report
AbstractChronic myeloid leukemia is a type of blood cancer that affects the bone marrow and results in an overproduction of immature WBCs. The genetic mutation that causes CML is the BCR-ABL fusion gene. Adolescents are rarely affected. The case study aims to discuss a rare case of chronic myeloid leukemia causing bilateral hearing impairment, tinnitus, and vertigo. A 30-year-old female presented to the hospital in November, 2021, with sudden hearing impairment and other symptoms, leading to a CML diagnosis. Blood tests revealed hyperleukocytosis with marked neutrophilia, mild basophilia, and eosinophilia, and a BCR-ABL qu...

Acute disseminated encephalomyelitis following Saint Louis encephalitis virus infection
We present a case of a 55-year-old man hailing from Manaus, a city situated in the heart of theAmazon Rainforest, who exhibited symptoms of vertigo, tremors, urinary and fecal retention, compromised gait, and encephalopathy 3 weeks following SLEV infection. Neuroaxis MRI revealed diffuse, asymmetric, and poorly defined margins hyperintense lesions with peripheral and ring enhancement in subcortical white matter, as well as severe spinal cord involvement. Serology for SLEV was positive both on serum and cerebrospinal fl uid. To the best of our knowledge, the present report is the first to show brain lesions along with mye...

Craniocervical instability in patients with Ehlers-Danlos syndromes: outcomes analysis following occipito-cervical fusion
AbstractCraniocervical instability (CCI) is increasingly recognized in hereditary disorders of connective tissue and in some patients following suboccipital decompression for Chiari malformation (CMI) or low-lying cerebellar tonsils (LLCT). CCI is characterized by severe headache and neck pain, cervical medullary syndrome, lower cranial nerve deficits, myelopathy, and radiological metrics, for which occipital cervical fusion (OCF) has been advocated. We conducted a retrospective analysis of patients with CCI and Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS) to determine whether the surgical outcomes supported the criteria by which patients...

Prevalence, Complications, and Risk Factors of Falls and Fear of Falling Among Older Adults; Based on Ardakan Cohort Study on Aging (ACSA)
CONCLUSION: This study showed that about one-fifth of those over 50 in Iran have experienced at least one fall within a year. Self-expressed imbalance, FOF, and urinary incontinence were the most prominent risk factors. Due to resulting in hospitalization and fractures, falls also lead to fear of falling and the associated limitation of activities.PMID:38162387 | PMC:PMC10757572 | DOI:10.22037/aaem.v12i1.2084 (Source: Accident and Emergency Nursing)
