Objective: To investigate psychological aspects in tinnitus patients with normal vestibular examination. Method: 39 patients reporting tinnitus as their primary complaint and vertigo as secondary, underwent neurootological and psychological examination and were compared with a control group. Results: Tinnitus patients showed representative stereotyped and conventional thought processes, and tendency to defense against feelings of instability. […]
The pathogenesis of sudden sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) and tinnitus are still not well understood. Prompted by such observations, we implemented a protocol using sodium enoxaparin associated with a venovenous hemofiltration for treatment of sudden hearing loss and tinnitus. The venovenous hemofiltration selectively eliminates fibrinogen, low-density lipoprotein, cholesterol, triglycerides, lipoprotein and complement from the blood […]

Automatic ABR was introduced into Japan in 1997, and Universal Newborn Hearing Screening of a newborn infant term was enabled. The model research study of hearing screening in Japan was started 2001, and Saitama Prefecture was started the inspection research from October 2002. Many newborn babies started received hearing screening from 1999 in our medical […]
Tinnitus affects nearly 50 million people in the United States, with a minority demonstrating marked functional impairment. Alterations of gamma aminobutyric acid (GABA) neuronal function and benzodiazepine receptor (BZR) function in particular have been implicated in the pathophysiology of severe, chronic tinnitus. The purpose of our study was to evaluate the distribution of BZR in […]
The purpose of this work was to evaluate if a stimulus reptition rate that is higher than 30 clicks/sec increases the sensitivity of the absolute latencies of waves I, III and V and interpeak intervals I-III, III-V and I-V in the Auditory Brainstem Responses.(ABR) of Multiple Sclerosis (MS) patients.
Vertigo in children is rarer than in adults and the examiner in cases showing these symptoms must rely on the parents’ or relatives’ observations and details. Besides the equilibrium disorders caused by hereditary malabsorptions or lesions in the peripheral and central vestibular structures, we know of typical diseases, associated with vertigo and hearing problems, that […]

Resumen: En este trabajo se describe al Hemangiopericitoma, las características clínicas de ésta patología en la región sinonasal, su diagnóstico y el plan De tratamiento de elección. A […]
There are different stimulation methods for investigation of the vestibular system. In addition to optokinetic, galvanic and neck vibration tests the most wide-spread is the caloric stimulation. These listed methods cause not only vestibular but other different effects on the central nervous system (CNS) (acustic, tactile and nociceptive). The authors using positron emission tomograhy (PET) […]
