Background And Methods: An efficacy population of 245 patients with vertigo of peripheral vestibular origin was recruited in Romania as part of a 3-month multinational, post-marketing surveillance study of open-label betahistine 48 mg/day (OSVaLD). Endpoints were changes in the Dizziness Handicap Index (primary endpoint), Medical Outcome Study Short-Form 36 (SF-36v2(®)), and the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale.

Results: During treatment, the total Dizziness Handicap Index score improved by 41 points (on a 100-point scale).

Aim: The aim of this study was to make immunohistochemical analyses with Inhibin alpha-subunit, Melan A and MNF116 (pan-Cytokeratin antibody) in pheochromocytomas, because immunohistochemistry is useful for the distinction between adrenal tumors.

Patients And Methods: We used 20 patients with pheochromocytomas submitted to laparoscopic (n=19) or classical (n=1) surgery and we have explored immuno-staining with Inhibin alpha-subunit, Melan A and MNF116 in these tumors. This can be helpful when we cannot make the distinction between adrenal tumors.
