Understanding benign paroxysmal positional vertigo: the management of lateral canal involvement
2013
Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) represents the most common cause of peripheral vertigo. The treatment of this apparently intractable disease is actually a physical treatment: performing manoeuvres on the patient to restore the normal condition of the inner ear. However, the following information will help readers who are unfamiliar with BPPV to improve their knowledge of the condition.
Giant deep lobe parotid tumor removal via total parotidectomy without mandibulotomy. A simple and safe technique
2021
The transmandibular route is often combined with the transparotid-transcervical approach when extensive surgical field exposure is required, as in the case of deep parotid lobe tumors measuring over 4 cm in size. This procedure implies great morbidity and prolongs surgery time. Furthermore, in cases where additional lip division is performed, the aesthetic outcomes may be poorer. A description is made of the technique used for the removal of giant pleomorphic adenomas of the parapharyngeal space, without mandibulotomy. Key words:Parapharyngeal space tumor, pleomorphic adenoma, transcervical-transparotid approach, transmandibular approach.
Vertigo and multiple sclerosis: aspects of differential diagnosis.
2002
Equilibrium disorders caused by involvement of brainstem and cerebellar structures are common in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS), but peripheral conditions such as benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) can be sometimes confused with those of a central origin. Therefore, an accurate otoneurologic investigation paying attention to differential diagnosis aspects should be performed in these subjects. Among available diagnostic tools, electro-oculography, posturography and vestibular evoked myogenic potentials (VEMPs) are especially suited to assess vestibulo-oculomotor and vestibulospinal systems. This paper briefly describes the most recent otoneurologic diagnostic strategies for …

Cavernous hemangioma of the parotid gland in adults
2014
Hemangiomas account for 0.4-0.6% of all tumors of the parotid gland and most of them occur in children, nevertheless in adults hemangiomas are very rare. We report the case of a 62 year old woman with a mass in the parotid right tail associated with fluctuating swelling episodes unrelated to meals and with a slowly progressive growth. The provisional diagnosis was a pleomorphic adenoma, so a right superficial parotidectomy was performed. During surgery, the macroscopic appearance makes suspect a vascular lesion. The histopathological result was a cavernous hemangioma. The classic clinical presentation of a parotid hemangioma is an intraglandular mass associated or not with skin lesions char…

Desempleo y crisis Económica. Los casos de España e Italia
2018
En este artículo se analiza la diferente reacción que los mercados laborales italiano y español han tenido ante la crisis económica: la tasa de paro italiana entre 2006 y 2012, ha crecido relativamente poco (pasando del 7,6 al 10,9%) mientras que la es-pañola se ha casi triplicado, pasando del 9 al 24,4%. Para ello se han analizado datos relativos a: el mercado del trabajo, la situación socioeconómica y la legislación exis-tente. Tras el estudio realizado, tres parecen ser las discrepancias más relevantes: 1) las diferencias en las tasas de actividad femenina entre ambos países; 2) la menor apertura del mercado laboral italiano en los últimos 20 años; y, 3) la diferente legis-lación sobre d…
Correspondence between theory and practice of a Beerkan infiltration experiment
2022
The Beerkan infiltration experiment is carried out by inserting the ring a short depth into the soil and establishing a positive head of water on the infiltration surface for at least a part of the run. Nevertheless, the data are analyzed by assuming a fully unconfined infiltration process (ring insertion depth, d = 0 cm) and a null ponded depth of water (H = 0 cm). The influence of ring insertion and ponded water on an infiltration process of 2 h sampled every minute was tested in this numerical investigation. Five soils varying from sand to silt loam, three ring radii (5–15 cm), and the Beerkan-specific range of values for both d and H (between 0 and 1 cm) were considered. The differences…

Sialolitiasis parotídea del conducto de Stensen
2006
La litiasis salival es una afectación consistente en la obstrucción mecánica de una glándula salival o de su conducto excretor, debido a la formación de concreciones calcáreas o sialolitos, lo que determina una ectasía salival, pudiendo provocar la dilatación posterior de la glándula. La sialolitiasis supone el 30 % de la patología salival y afecta principalmente a las glándulas submaxilares (83 a 94 %), seguida por la glándula parótida (4 a 10 %) y las glándulas sublinguales (1 a 7 %). En este trabajo presentamos el caso de un paciente varón de 45 años que presentaba mal olor y sabor de boca en el momento de las comidas y afecto de un cálculo salival a nivel del conducto de Stensen izquier…
