Abstract

Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) is the most common vestibular disorder affecting about 20% of dizzy patients. Early diagnosis and treatment can improve the quality of life for patients. We reviewed the classifications of different subtypes of benign paroxysmal positional vertigo and the problems we encountered using the diagnostic criteria of the Bárány Society. Both the Dix-Hallpike maneuver and supine roll test were performed on 568 patients, and diagnoses were made based on patient history and the type of provoked nystagmus (if any). Next, the numbers of patients with each subtype and other parameters, including age and sex, were analyzed. Posterior semicircular canal BPPV (pc-BPPV) accounted for the largest proportion, followed by horizontal semicircular canal BPPV (hc-BPPV). Both anterior canal BPPV and multiple canal lithiasis BPPV were rare, and no patient was diagnosed with cupulolithiasis of the posterior canal. pc-BPPV, hc-BPPV, and cupulolithiasis of the horizontal canal (hc-BPPV-cu) were the three major subtypes that could be definitively diagnosed, whereas the diagnoses of possible benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (pBPPV) and probable benign paroxysmal positional vertigo [spontaneously resolved] (pB...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
