High-Frequency Vestibular Function Is Vulnerable to Presbyvestibulopathy.
Diagnostics (Basel)
June 2024
Article Synopsis
- - In 2019, the condition presbyvestibulopathy (PVP) was defined for elderly patients with mild vestibular function deficiency, with tests including caloric, rotary chair, and head impulse testing used for diagnosis, but more large-scale studies are needed on their correlation with aging.
- - A study of 1,043 participants over 50 years old revealed significant age-related declines in high-frequency vestibular function tests (vHIT and rotary chair) but not in low-frequency tests (caloric and low-frequency rotary chair tests).
- - Results indicated that those over 70 showed a notable incidence of sub-normal vHIT scores consistent with PVP, highlighting that high-frequency vestibular function is particularly affected by aging
Diagnosis of Eosinophilic Otitis Media Using Blood Eosinophil Levels.
Diagnostics (Basel)
December 2023
Eosinophilic otitis media (EOM) is a rare middle ear disease with unfavorable outcomes. Under the current diagnostic criteria of EOM, it is challenging to suspect EOM before tympanostomy. Therefore, this study attempted to use blood eosinophil levels for the differential diagnosis of EOM from other conditions.

However, the risk of hearing loss remains a major concern for clinicians. We investigated the effect of simultaneous dexamethasone and gentamicin application on hearing preservation and vertigo control in patients with intractable unilateral Meniere's disease.

Identifying the precise origin will help in determining the optimal surgical approach. We retrospectively analyzed the preoperative vestibular function test according to VS origin to determine whether the test is a valuable indicator of tumor origin.

Objective: This study aims to explore the feasibility of telemedicine for the diagnosis of all otologic disease types.
Article Synopsis
- Caring for individuals with dementia creates significant social, financial, physical, and psychological challenges for caregivers.
- Evidence shows that tailored intervention programs can improve caregiver well-being and reduce the need for institutional care, with the U.S. government actively testing these programs through randomized controlled trials (RCTs).
- Despite the challenges, many dementia patients in Korea are still cared for by family members, and there is a lack of effective structured programs; this article reviews ongoing trials in both countries and proposes the I-CARE intervention program to enhance support for caregivers in Korea.
