Background: Vestibular dysfunction (VH) is a common concomitant symptom of late peripheral vestibular lesions, which can be trauma, poisoning, infection, heredity, and neurodegeneration, but about 50% of the causes are unknown. The study uses the information-motivation-behavioral skills (IMB) model for health education, effectively improve the quality of life, increase their self-confidence, reduce anxiety and depression, and effectively improve the psychological state of patients.
Aim: To explore the effect of health education based on the IMB model on the degree of vertigo, disability, anxiety and depression in patients with unilateral vestibular hypofunction.
Article Synopsis
- COX-1, COX-2, and HO-1 enzymes play a role in how aspirin works, and how genetics might influence aspirin resistance (AR) is not fully understood.
- In a study of 431 patients using different tests, participants were categorized into those resistant to aspirin, semi-resistant, and sensitive, focusing on specific gene variations.
- The study found that two genetic variants, rs1330344 in the COX-1 gene and rs2071746 in the HO-1 gene, are linked to an increased risk of aspirin resistance, suggesting these genetic factors influence the body's response to aspirin.
