Due to the increasing amount of requests for compensation, a medicolegal decision making system for NIHL-related tinnitus was developed within the Belgian Institute for Occupational Diseases, and – after a few preliminary trials – systematically used since 2002. This decision making system was first presented at the NES-meeting in Bad Kissingen 2004, and in the […]
Objectives: Good health is not only a privilege of young generation but also of elderly people. Nowadays 13% of the population has reached the age of 65, and one third of them have vertiginous attack at least once in their life. 45-70% of the elderly has one or more drop attacks yearly. Methods: In the […]
By Definition HEMANGIOBLASTOMA is a benign tumor that may develop on the nervous system that may occur sporadically or in association with Hippel-Lindau disease. It accounts for approximately 2% of intracranial tumors, arising most frequently in the cerebellar hemispheres and vermis. Histologically, the tumors are composed of multiple capillary and sinusoidal channels lined with endothelial […]
There is an opportunity to treat elderly patients with chronic dizziness for many months and many years by external electrical stimulation. By which tinnitus patients’ balance was reported to improve in International Tinnitus Journal of 1999. In elderly people, if chronic dizziness continues, it may fall into a disuse functional atrophy. So, it is more […]
I proposed similarity of an electrical stimulation to an autogenic training. Two years ago in Melbourne. However, my idea about the similarity was not clear at that time. In Bad Kissingen professor Claussen asked me that any other alternatives for electrical stimulation were there. My English is so poor that I clearly said noting replace […]
If onset of vertigo could be known before, patients could control the attack. That would be of benefits to those patients. At the NES conference in Bad Kissingen the year before last I showed that vertigo patients with higher heart rate would be sensitive to rapid change in the atmospheric pressure. In order to avoid […]
A total of 46 patients have been chosen from our “Neurofisiología Oftalmológica” Data Bank with whiplash injury – Type 4 . Cervico-encephalic syndrome. They were studied with S-Low Resolution Brain Electric Tomography (S-LORETA), and their results were compared vs. 100 normal patients. Using Loreta and SNPM in our patients allow us to determine which are […]
Brain neurosensorial disorders, i.e: tinnitus, represents one of most reasons of disability. The most often used methods for functional imaging of the human brain are positron emission tomography (PET) and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). These tomographies provide three-dimensional (3D) images comprising information on metabolism. Although the spatial resolution of these images is excellent, the […]
