Effects of the stimulus phase on the air-conducted ocular vestibular evoked myogenic potential in healthy subjects.

Objective: The study aimed to examine the effect of the stimulus phase of air-conducted sound on ocular vestibular evoked myogenic potentials (oVEMPs).

Methods: oVEMPs were recorded after air-conducted sounds (500Hz, 4ms duration), presented with initial condensation (positive), rarefaction (negative), and alternant polarities from 12 healthy subjects.

Results: Most responses showed a bifid n10 peak separated by ∼1.

Postpartum Treatment With Immunoglobulin Does Not Prevent Relapses of Multiple Sclerosis in the Mother.

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic, neurological, immune-mediated disease that can worsen in the postpartum period. There is no consensus on the use of immunoglobulin for prevention of disease relapses after delivery. We have shown that the controversial beneficial effect of immunoglobulin given immediately after birth could not be observed in patients with MS.
