In this paper, we intend to approach two specific hypermedia aspects; the structure that organizes the hypertextual information, as well as the route of reading that the user creates when advancing the links of a net. Our hypothesis is that the labyrinth is present in hypermedia systems in two ways: the first, more evident, is in the own organization at the moment of the project development. Th...

1. A dogfish from which all six ampullae have been removed maintains its equilibrium; the righting reactions occur promptly; compensatory movements of the eyes occur in response to rotations in all planes except the horizontal; the compensatory position of the eyes is retained if the animal is held in an abnormal position. Both the static and dynamic functions of equilibrium continue, therefore...

By optimizing the inversion time of a 3D inversion-recovery turbo spin-echo sequence at 3T, we obtained separate images of endolymphatic and perilymphatic space 24 hours after intratympanic administration of gadolinium contrast material. In patients with Ménière disease, endolymphatic hydrops were detected not only in the cochlea but also in the vestibule. Fusion of the 2 types of images visual...

Ménière's syndrome is an idiopathic disorder of the cochlea and labyrinth. It is caused by endolymphatic hydrops and is a relatively frequent, lifelong disorder affecting patients' quality of life and work performance. This article presents our clinical experience with the medical treatment of this disease. Patients were treated with a blend of drugs according to their condition (stage of illne...

An 18-year-old female patient with unilateral hearing loss underwent evaluation with CT and MR imaging. A partially ossified, enhancing lesion in the bony labyrinth, with replacement of adjacent structures, was identified. Surgical biopsy revealed a meningioma arising primarily within the bony labyrinth. To our knowledge, this entity has not been previously described.

Anyone trying to understand the burden of disease of NAFLD in our societies might feel like they are trapped in a labyrinth, under a dim light. A labyrinth, because there are many ways to look for NAFLD and not just one straightforward diagnostic method. Under a dim light, because all these imperfect procedures and tests do not allow us to see far enough, given their limited sensitivity and spe...
