Bruns Nystagmus in Cerebellopontine Angle Hemangioblastoma.

Bruns nystagmus is a form of jerk nystagmus that has a localizing value in cerebellopontine angle (CPA) tumors. Hemangioblastomas involving the CPA is rare. A case of a 57-year-old male presented with Bruns nystagmus which led to the discovery of a large CPA hemangioblastoma is described.

Narrow-band imaging for detecting nasal lymphoma.

Introduction: Narrow-band imaging (NBI) is an advanced endoscopic technique that enhances the mucosal neovascularization. The utilization of narrow-band imaging on the detection of nasal lymphomas is not well-established.

Aim: To present a clinical case whose nasal lymphoma was detected with the aid of NBI.

Acute sensorineural hearing loss in hemodialysis patients.

Approximately, 30-40% of patients experienced hearing loss under regular hemodialysis. This study reviewed our experience on treating acute hearing loss in patients under regular hemodialysis over the past two decades. Twenty-six patients having acute hearing loss under hemodialysis were divided into two groups based on their etiologies.

Sleeping posture recognition using fuzzy c-means algorithm.

Background: Pressure sensors have been used for sleeping posture detection, which meet privacy requirements. Most of the existing techniques for sleeping posture recognition used force-sensitive resistor (FSR) sensors. However, lower limbs cannot be recognized accurately unless thousands of sensors are deployed on the bedsheet.

Body posture recognition and turning recording system for the care of bed bound patients.

This paper proposes body posture recognition and turning recording system for assisting the care of bed bound patients in nursing homes. The system continuously detects the patient's body posture and records the length of time for each body posture. If the patient remains in the same body posture long enough to develop pressure ulcers, the system notifies caregivers to change the patient's body posture.
