Immunosuppressive treatment in bilateral vestibulopathy with inner ear antibodies.
Although vestibular recovery was observed after steroid treatment, it remains uncertain whether this improvement was spontaneous or due to medication. These data do not allow us to generally recommend corticosteroid treatment in patients with BVF and inner ear antibodies.A retrospective study was performed based on the observation of two patients with suspected autoimmune bilateral vestibular failure (BVF) with normal hearing and antilabyrinthine or nervous tissue-specific serum antibodies who showed vestibular recovery after corticosteroid treatment.Twelve patients with BVF and serum inner ear antibodies who had received imuunosuppressive treatment with corticosteroids were evaluated in te…
Energy damping and intermediate-velocity fragment emission in peripheral Kr+Au collisions at 43 MeV/u
Abstract Triple and four-fold coincidences among fragments have been measured in the reaction 84 Kr+Au at 43 MeV/u. All events showing the projectile-like nucleus and fission fragments of the target-like nucleus, and all events with one additional intermediate-velocity fragment, were analysed in the frame of a dissipative collision and a participant-spectator model. The mechanism is basically that of a dissipative collision but the emission of the intermediate velocity fragment by the target differs from an equilibrated evaporation.
H�ufigste Schwindelform im mittleren Alter: phobischer Schwankschwindel
Bislang liegen nur wenige valide epidemiologische Untersuchungen zum Leitsymptom Schwindel vor. Nach einer Analyse von 4214 Patienten einer uberregionalen Spezialambulanz fur Schwindel zwischen 1989 und 2002 stellen der benigne periphere paroxysmale Lagerungsschwindel (BPPV) und der phobische Schwankschwindel (PPV) die beiden haufigsten Schwindelsyndrome dar. In der vorliegenden Untersuchung wurde die relative Alters- und Geschlechtsverteilung dieser beiden Erkrankungen analysiert. Im Alter zwischen 20 und 50 Jahren stellt der PPV mit einem Anteil von 22–26% die relativ haufigste Schwindelform dar. Da der PPV einerseits unbehandelt meist chronifiziert und zu deutlichen (auch beruflichen) Be…
