The etiology of this arthritic disease is unknown and although previous otitis interna/media is generally blamed there is little evidence to support this hypothesis. Only a small number of cases have active infection (mostly gram positive cocci and o...
متن کاملEvidence-based guideline update: plasmapheresis in neurologic disorders.
Objective: To reassess the role of plasmapheresis in the treatment of neurologic disorders. Methods: We evaluated the available evidence based on a structured literature review for relevant articles from 1995 through September 2009. In addition, due to revision of the definitions of classification of evidence since the publication of the previous American Academy of Neurology assessment in 1996...
