INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES The caloric test is the gold standard for the loss of vestibular function diagnosis. The Video Head Impulse Test (vHIT) assesses the same reflex by using a video- assisted examination of the impulsive maneuver. We intend to compare the variation of results of the vHIT and the caloric test in patients with vestibular neuritis with respect to their initial condition at...

CONCLUSIONS The degree of caloric weakness before surgery influences faster or slower recovery of patients undergoing vestibular schwannoma surgery. The Dizziness Handicap Inventory (DHI) is a good index to show the recovery of patients as it relates directly to an improvement or not of the subjective visual vertical (SVV). OBJECTIVE To evaluate the process of recovery of patients as measured...

Background: Hemorrhagic transformation, neurotoxicity, short treatment time windows, and other defects are considered as the major limitations for the thrombolytic therapy. This study is devoted to figure out whether Danhong injection (DHI) combined with tissue-plasminogen activator (t-PA) could extend the treatment time windows and ameliorate brain injury, hemorrhagic complication and BBB disr...

Pollution in the coastal areas negatively affects biochemical indicators of seawater, human health and marine organisms. Hai Phong is a city Vietnam with development socio-economic activities, representing through an increasing number industrial zones. This study to evaluate pollution large zones using numerical models. The simulation (MIKE 21 SW, FM, ECO Lab) models were applied simulate wave ...

BACKGROUND Danhong injection (DHI) has been widely prescribed to patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS). However, due to methodological deficiencies, previous research has not yet provided rigorous evidence to support the use of DHI in the treatment of AIS. Therefore, we designed this multicenter, randomized, controlled, and double-blind trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of DHI for A...

AIM The relationship between dizziness and falls in the obese population is a relatively unexplored issue. The aims of the present study were to define the 1-year prevalence of dizziness in an obese inpatient population undergoing metabolic rehabilitation and to investigate possible correlations with fall events. MATERIALS AND METHODS We recruited 329 obese subjects: 203 female (BMI 43,74 kg/...

Abstract In this study, we determined the variations of tidal flow field and prism caused by human activities in Tongzhou bay using MIKE 21 hydrodynamic model as analyzing tool. After activities, sea area alongshore engineering is changed, most obvious changes can reach over 0.1m/s; discharge decreases land accretion leading to shrink Nantong near-shore waters, there up 12% reduction after plan...

Objective: the objective of the study was to evaluate the impact of dizziness on the performance of daily practices in temporomandibular disorders (TMD) patients using the Activities-specific Balance Confidence Scale (ABC) and Dizziness Handicap Inventory (DHI) questionnaires. Methods: we evaluated 20 women with a mean age of 52.3 years from February 2014 to July 2015. The following were carrie...
