Vestibular Hypofunction (VH) and hearing loss can affect quality of life and lead to disability, especially in the elderly. Studies investigating presbycusis and vestibular function in the aging population have been conducted separately, but few have examined the combination of both conditions in older patients, with inconsistent results that may be due to small sample sizes or heterogeneity in the methods used to assess vestibular function. We aimed to characterize the occurrence of VH in patients with presbycusis using the video head impulse test (vHIT), which is a specific and reliable assessment tool for VH.

Purpose: Achieving precise postoperative alignment is critical for the long-term success of total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Long-leg standing radiograph (LLR) at 6 weeks post-op is the gold standard for assessing alignment, but its reliance on weight-bearing and positioning makes it less practical in the early postoperative period. Supine computed tomography scanogram (CTS) offers a potential alternative.

This study was carried out to compare the stability of Le Fort I maxillary advancement between the surgery-first approach (SFA) and the orthodontics-first approach (OFA), and to evaluate the impact of the quality of postoperative occlusion on maxillary stability. In total, 26 patients (13 SFA and 13 OFA) were included in this study. Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) scans taken at T0 (1 week before surgery), T1 (1 week after surgery), and T2 (6 months after surgery) were used for the assessment of maxillary stability.

Unlabelled: One of the most probable and controversial hypotheses regarding the etiology of essential arterial hypertension, is the increase in arterial pressure due to intracranial ischemia, for various reasons, particularly because of cervical osteochondrosis. The daily arterial blood pressure dynamics is of interest when attempting non-pharmacological induced correction of arterial pressure by manual and physical effects on the cervical spine.
Objective: To evaluate daily arterial pressure dynamics in patients with essential arterial hypertension who received non-pharmacological treatment by manual-physical action on the cervical spine (A.

To report a novel application within the USA of excimer ablation for the normalization of central corneal refractive irregularity, combined with higher fluence CXL in the effective management and visual rehabilitation of progressive keratoconus. 17 consecutive cases with progressive keratoconus were treated with corneal surface excimer laser ablation normalization using topography-guided (Contura) myopic ablation for customized corneal re-shaping with a 6 mm optical zone. The epithelial removal was accounted for by adding a -2.
