Unlabelled: Benign Positional Paroxysmal Vertigo (BPPV) is one of the most common vestibular diseases and the active head rotation test one of the most modern methods of vestibular function assessment.
Aim: this study aims to verify if the active head rotation test may reveal signs of horizontal and/or vertical vestibulo-ocular reflex dysfunction in vertigo patients suspected for BPPV.
Study Design: retrospective series study.
Materials And Method: Neurotological evaluation including computerized electronystagmography and active head rotation on the horizontal and vertical axes were conducted in 100 patients suspected for BPPV patients.
Results: Isolated or associated abnormalities of the horizontal and/or vertical vestibulo-ocular reflex gain, phase and symmetry were indicative of vestibular involvement and found in 77.0% of the BPPV patients.
Conclusion: the active head rotation test revealed horizontal and/or vertical vestibulo-ocular reflex dysfunctions in a relevant number of BPPV patients.

Structure-Based Design of "Head-to-Tail" Macrocyclic PROTACs.
JACS Au
December 2024
State Key Laboratory of Chemical Biology, Shanghai Institute of Organic Chemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences, No. 345 Lingling Road, Shanghai 200032, China.
Macrocyclization is a compelling strategy for conventional drug design for improving biological activity, target specificity, and metabolic stability, but it was rarely applied to the design of PROTACs possibly due to the mechanism and structural complexity. Herein, we report the rational design of the first series of "Head-to-Tail" macrocyclic PROTACs. The resulting molecule exhibited pronounced Brd4 protein degradation with low nM DC values while almost totally dismissing the "hook effect", which is a general character and common concern of a PROTAC, in multiple cancer cell lines.

Pigmented villonodular synovitis (PVNS) is rare in the shoulder, with few descriptions in the literature. We present the case of a 58-year-old female patient with no history of trauma. The patient reported pain for 2 months with no limb irradiation and presented lifting strength loss and progressive limitation of active and passive mobility.

Femoral nerve palsy (FNP) is a rare but serious complication after total hip replacement (THP). Despite its rarity, FNP can significantly impact patient recovery and quality of life. This case report examines the occurrence of FNP in a patient following a primary THP and highlights the importance of surgical technique and postoperative detection and its management.
