The comparison between intratympanic gentamicin prehabilitation and postoperative virtual reality exposure to standard vestibular training in patients with vestibular schwannoma.

Objective: Resection of the vestibular schwannoma causes acute peripheral vestibular loss. The process of central compensation starts immediately afterward. The rehabilitation goal is to support this process and restore the quality of life.

Does vestibular function correlate with objective MRI findings after vestibular schwannoma surgery?

Objective: Vestibular schwannoma surgery leads to acute unilateral vestibular loss. In some patients, however, the process of post-operatively initiated central compensation proceeds more rapidly than in others. This study aimed to evaluate post-operative vestibular function and correlate it with morphological findings of MRI scans.

Analysis of HPV-Positive and HPV-Negative Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinomas and Paired Normal Mucosae Reveals Cyclin D1 Deregulation and Compensatory Effect of Cyclin D2.

Aberrant regulation of the cell cycle is a typical feature of all forms of cancer. In head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC), it is often associated with the overexpression of cyclin D1 (). However, it remains unclear how expression changes between tumor and normal tissues and whether human papillomavirus (HPV) affects differential expression.

Differential diagnosis of ear pain.

Ear pain, otalgia, can have many etiologies. Some of these conditions, e.g.

Residual vestibular function after vestibular schwannoma surgery.

Objectives: This study aimed to assess vestibular function in 39 patients who underwent neurectomy for vestibular schwannoma.

Method: Semicircular canal reactivity was measured by video head-impulse test using high-frequency passive head acceleration. Response gain was calculated as a ratio between the areas under the eye-velocity curve and the head-velocity curve.
