The Effect of Rivaroxaban in the Complementary Therapy of Sudden Sensorineural Hearing Loss
CONCLUSION: According to the results of this study, although the percentage of hearing recovery was higher in the RXA group, in general, the results of the two treatments were not significantly different.PMID:38525395 | PMC:PMC10958720 | DOI:10.4103/abr.abr_143_23 (Source: Biomed Res)

Comparison of the Degree of Handicap Between Different Types of Vestibular Disorders
AbstractVestibular disorders have had a disabling effect because of the symptoms they cause. The aim of this study was to evaluate the degree of disability associated with vertigo in patients with different vestibular disorders using a handicap questionnaire and to investigate the possible relationship between some factors with different types of vestibular disorders and vertigo-related handicap scores. 462 subjects aged 12–90 years old with symptoms of vertigo, dizziness, or imbalance were recruited from several public and private centers. After taking t he medica...

Effects of Baclofen on Central Paroxysmal Positional Downbeat Nystagmus
This study aims to elucidate the mechanism of central positional nystagmus (CPN) by determining the effects of baclofen on the intensity of paroxysmal positional downbeat nystagmus due to central lesions. Fifteen patients with paroxysmal downbeat CPN were subjected to manual straight head-hanging before administration of baclofen, while taking baclofen 30 mg per day for at least one week, and two weeks after discontinuation of baclofen. The maximum slow phase velocity (SPV) and time constant (TC) of the induced paroxysmal downbeat CPN were analyzed. The positional vertigo was evaluated using an 11-point numerical rating sc...

Neurological Illness and National Security
In 2016, a set of troubling neurological symptoms was reported through confidential channels by US government personnel based at the US Embassy in Havana, Cuba. As the number of cases in Havana escalated and then similar cases occurred over the next 5 years in other locations around the globe, efforts to understand this syndrome, now known as anomalous health incidents (AHIs), were hampered by their unusual features, incomplete information, nonstandardized clinical testing, delayed reporting, and the sensitive nature of the circumstances, individuals, and their work. A subset of individuals described the abrupt onset, some...
