The classical guinea pig model for Meniere's disease, in which endolymphatic hydrops was achieved by destruction of the endolymphatic sac and obliteration of the endolymphatic duct, is a non-physiological profound model with shortcomings in relation to Meniere's disease as seen in patients. We developed a more subtle animal model; the two-phase endolymphatic hydrops. This model is based on a co...

a 53 year-old woman presented with corneal edema 25 years after uneventful penetrating keratoplasty for keratoconus. she was initially misdiagnosed with acute endothelial rejection; however by observation of descemet’s membrane detachment, a diagnosis of late onset corneal hydrops following corneal transplantation was made. this is a rare complication which may occur many years after penetratin...

When serious official political statements are not enough to get people’s votes, politicians often turn attention-grabbing and emotion-triggering self-presentation. They give the public access their “normal, everyday” lives through personalisation use other tools of “new” politics create a favourable image themselves. can also show unexpected, backstage aspects lives, such as interactions with ...

In order to investigate the physiological consequences of hydrops on auditory function an animal model has been developed in which endolymphatic hydrops is surgically induced and electrophysiological responses are monitored preceeding during and following hydrops induction. These studies have revealed that experimental hydrops systematically results in a fluctuant low frequency hearing loss ( b...

OBJECTIVE Endolymphatic hydrops has been well described in patients with Ménière's syndrome; however, causation has not been established. Decompression of the endolymphatic sac has been proposed as a means to relieve hydrops and improve vertigo symptoms, but the efficacy of the surgery is debated. Until recently, there have been few objective measures of efficacy other than patients' subjective...

Mirror syndrome, also called Ballantyne’s or triple edema syndrome, was described in 1982 by John Ballantyne as a combination ofmaternal edema, fetal and placental hydrops. This syndrome is a complication of fetal hydrops inwhich the maternal edema virtuallymirrors the edema of the fetus. The incidence is not clear since it is a rare disease, often underdiagnosed.1–3 Fetal hydrops of any etiolo...

CUTE, a Concolic Unit Testing Engine for C and Java, is a tool to systematically and automatically test sequential C programs (including pointers) and concurrent Java programs. CUTE combines concrete and symbolic execution in a way that avoids redundant test cases as well as false warnings. The tool also introduces a race-flipping technique to efficiently test and model check concurrent program...

Incidence of immune hydrops fetal is decreasing with the liberal use of anti-D immunoglobulin, But this condition has not been eradicated. We report here a case of immune hydrops fetalis detected on ultrasonography.
