Article Synopsis
- Meat is rich in essential nutrients but is highly perishable, making it susceptible to spoilage and pathogenic microorganisms, particularly Pseudomonas species.
- The meat industry commonly uses chemical preservatives to combat microbial growth, but increasing consumer concerns about their safety have led to interest in alternative preservation methods.
- Natural preservatives, like lactic acid bacteria and their metabolites, show promising bioprotective properties against spoilage and pathogens, though more research is needed to assess their effectiveness in various meat products under different conditions.
Downbeat nystagmus (DBN) is a neuro-otological finding frequently encountered by clinicians dealing with patients with vertigo. Since DBN is a finding that should be understood because of central vestibular dysfunction, it is necessary to know how to frame it promptly to suggest the correct diagnostic-therapeutic pathway to the patient. As knowledge of its pathophysiology has progressed, the importance of this clinical sign has been increasingly understood.

Based on this sensibility, bone-anchored hearing aids have been introduced to correct unilateral or bilateral conductive or mixed hearing loss and unilateral deafness. The vestibular system is also sensitive to the vibratory stimulus and this type of response is used in clinics to test its functionality.

We therefore named the test InfraRed clinical SHIMP (IR-cSHIMP).
Methods: To check IR-cSHIMP diagnostic efficiency, we studied 22 normal subjects, 18 patients with unilateral, and 6 with bilateral deficient vestibulopathy.
