متن کاملHead-shaking nystagmus
Head-shaking nystagmus. Head-Shaking Nystagmus (HSN) is a latent spontaneous vestibular nystagmus provoked by rapid passive head shaking around a vertical axis. HSN is not specific in distinguishing peripheral hypofunction from more central vestibular imbalances. This test is an excellent bedside test for detecting unilateral vestibular hypofunction but further rotatory and caloric testing will...

15 صفحه اولdeterminant of the hankel matrix with binomial entries
abstract in this thesis at first we comput the determinant of hankel matrix with enteries a_k (x)=?_(m=0)^k??((2k+2-m)¦(k-m)) x^m ? by using a new operator, ? and by writing and solving differential equation of order two at points x=2 and x=-2 . also we show that this determinant under k-binomial transformation is invariant.
15 صفحه اولVisual influence on head shaking using the vestibular autorotation test.
In this study we investigated the vestibular system by recording eye movements in response to voluntary high-frequency head-only movements using the Vestibular Autorotation Test (VAT; Western System Research Inc., Los Angeles, California). Our objective was to evaluate if the VAT could be implemented as one of the screening tests for vestibular integrity in aircrews and potential pilots. We att...
