[A method for prediction functional dizziness after benign paroxysmal positional vertigo].

Objective: To identify risk factors for functional vertigo (FV) in patients with benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) based on the analysis of emotional and personality disorders at the time of the occurrence of BPPV and to develop a method for predicting its development.

Material And Methods: The study included 93 people, 81 women (87.1%), with benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV), aged 18 to 65 years, mean age 50 [41.

Speech disorders in right-hemisphere stroke.

Clinical practice shows that right-hemisphere cerebral strokes are often accompanied by one speech disorder or another. The aim of the present work was to analyze published data addressing speech disorders in right-sided strokes. Questions of the lateralization of speech functions are discussed, with particular reference to the role of the right hemisphere in speech activity and the structure of speech pathology in right-hemisphere foci.
