The dizzy triathlete – evidence supporting vestibular aetiology

Vestibular rehabilitation therapy for the dizzy patient.

A customised vestibular rehabilitation therapy (VRT) programme is an important treatment modality in patients with vestibular dysfunction resulting in motion-provoked vertigo, oscillopsia (gaze instability), disequilibrium and gait disturbances. We discuss in this paper the patient selection criteria for VRT, rehabilitation strategies for unilateral and bilateral vestibular deficits, and some o...

OBJECTIVE To describe the spectrum of balance disease in a large population of children presenting to a tertiary care vestibular and balance laboratory. STUDY DESIGN Case series with chart review. SETTING Tertiary care pediatric hospital. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Results of audiometric, vestibular, and balance tests and final diagnosis. SUBJECTS AND METHODS Retrospective review of audiomet...

Steady the dizzy child

Dizziness in children can be caused by a variety of peripheral and central vestibular disorders. Although less frequent in children than in adults, these disorders often pose a diagnostic challenge.

Dizzy-Beats: a Bayesian evidence analysis tool for systems biology

MOTIVATION Model selection and parameter inference are complex problems of long-standing interest in systems biology. Selecting between competing models arises commonly as underlying biochemical mechanisms are often not fully known, hence alternative models must be considered. Parameter inference yields important information on the extent to which the data and the model constrain parameter valu...
