Investigation of Postural Stability in Patients Individuals Who Have Recovered COVID-19.
Indian J Otolaryngol Head Neck Surg
December 2024
Article Synopsis
- The study investigated how postural stability is affected in individuals who have recovered from COVID-19 by comparing them to healthy controls using various balance tests.
- Results showed no significant changes in overall balance for mCTSIB, but significant differences were observed in limits of stability, rhythmic weight shift, and the Romberg test between the two groups.
- The findings suggest that while subjective reports of dizziness are common, objective measurement indicates possible decreased postural reflexes and vestibular issues, particularly in female patients post-COVID-19.
Effects of Cognitive Functions on Speech Recognition in Noise in Cochlear Implant Recipients.
ORL J Otorhinolaryngol Relat Spec
August 2023
Introduction: There are substantial differences in speech recognition performance of adult cochlear implant (CI) recipients. This study investigated the effects of cognitive function on speech recognition in CI recipients.
Methods: The verbal working memory of 36 adults with unilateral CIs was tested using digit span tests.
Article Synopsis
- A study examined the effects of different VR images on balance control in vestibular rehabilitation, involving 36 participants aged 18-30.
- Results showed that stressful images increased anxiety and negatively impacted the visual system, while relaxing images decreased stress and improved vestibular system data.
- The research highlights the importance of selecting appropriate images for VR rehabilitation, suggesting that stress-free visuals are more beneficial for patients with balance disorders.
Purpose: This study aimed to explore the differences in diagnosis (Dix-Hallpike test; the head impulse, nystagmus, and the test of skew [HINTS] procedures; imaging modalities; and audiological battery) and treatment (pharmacological treatments and the Epley maneuver) of acute vertigo (AV) by examining the perspectives of otolaryngologists, emergency physicians (EPs), and primary care physicians (PCPs).
Method: A total of 123 physicians (otolaryngologists [ = 40], EPs [ = 41], PCPs [ = 42]) were included in this study. This study was conducted using an online questionnaire created in Google Forms.
Background And Objectives: Besides evaluating the auditory and vestibular systems of patients with vestibular migraine (VM) and Meniere's disease (MD), this study aimed to examine the clinical overlaps between these two conditions by detailed evaluation of the patient's symptoms. Subjects and.
Methods: The ears of the patients with VM and MD were evaluated and patients' vestibular and auditory complaints were questioned particularly.
