Article Synopsis
- Vestibular Neuritis (VN) can cause a sudden imbalance in patients, and a study was conducted to determine factors that might influence recovery from this condition, focusing on both complete recovery and adjustment to the symptoms.
- The study involved 40 patients who underwent various tests and assessments within a few days of symptom onset and again after about three months, categorizing them based on their test results and self-reported symptom scores.
- Results indicated that cardiovascular risk factors were linked to poorer recovery outcomes, and while some vestibular tests normalized over time, many patients reported ongoing subjective symptoms despite objective recovery.
Background: The placement of a cochlear implant (CI) can restore auditory function in the case of profound cochlear deafness, which may be due to Ménière's disease (MD) or be associated with symptoms related to endolymphatic hydrops. The usual treatment of disabling vertigo in MD is based on vestibular deafferentation by labyrinth ablation. The aim of the present study was to retrospectively evaluate the efficacy of the CI in the control of disabling vestibular manifestations in the case of MD unresponsive to medical treatments.

Purpose: Pignat's partial laryngectomy with crico-hyoido-epiglotto-plasty (CHEPL) is a vertical laryngectomy with resection of the anterior portion of the thyroid cartilage and reconstruction with a wires net and the subhyoid muscles. The aim of this retrospective study was to evaluate and analyze oncologic and functional outcomes in patients affected by laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma and treated with Pignat's partial laryngectomy.
Methods: Seventy patients with cT1-cT3 glottic cancer were surgically treated with Pignat's technique.
