Myocardial infarction comprises gross necrosis of the myocardium, as a result of interruption of the blood supply to the area, as in coronary thrombosis. Myocardial infarction may occur when coronary vessels are narrowed or occlude, as the blood supply to the infarcted heart muscle is seriously impaired. Cardiovascular diseases are extremely wide spread and often […]

Whiplash accidents may cause disturbances to the neck and/or CNS, primarily the brainstem. Neurootological findings are frequent. Posture is disturbed when the neck is held in a provocative position. Tjell et al have reported very high frequency of disturbances in the ocular pursuit tested with the neck turned. We tested 34 whiplash patients and 20 […]
Cervical syndrome is a condition caused by irritation or compression of the cervical structures including spines, spinal cord, nerves and muscles, marked by pain in the neck radiating into the shoulder, arm, or forearm, depending on which nerve root is affected or neurosensorial signs like vertigo, tinnitus, blurred vision etc. due to the cervical-encephalic irritations […]
The aim of the study was to observe the usefulness of Betaserc in therapy of vestibular disorders in the patients with vertebro-basilar insufficiency.

Depression ranges from normal feelings of “the blues” through dysthymia to major depression. It in many ways resembles the grief and mourning that follow bereavement.

A new version of craniocorpography (CCG), called computerized ultrasonographic CCG (Comp-USCCG), has been clinically applied for objective recording, documentation, and quantitative evaluation of abnormal psychomotor activity in psychiatric patients.
This study was conducted in an attempt to determine the efficacy of neurofeedback (NFB) in the treatment of patients suffering from vertigo or tinnitus. Results indicated that after NFB, power for delta and theta bands was reduced; however, an increase of power was noted for the alpha bands.
This study reports 21 patients who suffered from vertigo and underwent a complete otorhinolaryngological evaluation and otoneurological tests to establish a peripheral labyrinthine disorder.
Tinnitus as a symptom remains a serious multidisciplinary problem. Vertigo or dizziness is not noticed frequently in tinnitus patients, so vestibular function is not often studied.
