Objectives: To perform vestibular assessment using cervical and ocular vestibular evoked myogenic potential, video head impulse test and caloric testing in patients with sudden hearing loss. Moreover, to evaluate the correlation of dizziness with vestibular tests and the correlation of vestibular tests with hearing prognosis.
Methods: This is an observational, longitudinal and prospective study, including participants diagnosed with sudden hearing loss.
Purpose: To describe the otorhinolaryngological adverse effects of the main drugs used in urological practice.
Materials And Methods: A review of the scientific literature was performed using a combination of specific descriptors (side effect, adverse effect, scopolamine, sildenafil, tadalafil, vardenafil, oxybutynin, tolterodine, spironolactone, furosemide, hydrochlorothiazide, doxazosin, alfuzosin, terazosin, prazosin, tamsulosin, desmopressin) contained in publications until April 2020. Manuscripts written in English, Portuguese, and Spanish were manually selected from the title and abstract.
Introduction: Sudden hearing loss is an otorhinolaryngological emergency that often leads to severe damage to the auditory and vestibular function. The vestibular evoked myogenic potential is a test that allows a noninvasive evaluation of the otolithic system function and vestibulospinal and vestibulo-ocular pathways.
Objective: To evaluate the importance of vestibular evoked myogenic potential in determining the prognosis of patients with sudden hearing loss.
: Muscle power declines with age and is a stronger determinant of physical function than strength. Muscle power using computerized dynamometry has not been investigated in COPD.: To determine: 1) test-retest reliability of quadriceps power using a standardized protocol with computerized dynamometry; and 2) associations between quadriceps strength and power, and functional capacity.

- The study aimed to compare acute adverse effects and facial skin temperature changes after using noninvasive ventilation (NIV) in healthy volunteers, focusing on two modes: BiPAP and CPAP.
- Results showed that BiPAP led to a higher incidence and intensity of adverse effects compared to CPAP, with facial thermography revealing significant cooling of skin in specific areas after mask removal.
- The findings suggest that BiPAP may cause more severe side effects, and the temperature changes in the face can be an effective way to monitor these adverse effects related to NIV use.
