One of the most important role of the CS is to detect Gravity and to elaborate adequate […]
The role of free radicals and plasmatic antioxidant in menière syndrome
The objective of this study is the supposition, verified through suitable hematochemical tests, of the co-presence in the etiopathogenesis of the Menière syndrome and/or in the labyrinth pathologies or hypacusia also of central/systemic microtoxicosis. We do not therefore exclude other well known hypotheses on the causality of these pathologies, but one finds, above all in […]
