Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Neuro-otology and neuro-ophthalmology are clinical fields destined to be highly interdisciplinary and integrative in order to offer state-of-the-art diagnosis and treatment to patients with vertigo, dizziness, imbalance, eye movement disorders, and disorders of the afferent visual pathways. Specialists, frontline primary care givers, and emergency-department physicians involved in the assessment of otorhinolaryngology, neurology, and ophthalmology (ONO, oto-neuro-ophthalmology) patients are confronted with a broad differential diagnosis including dangerous, life-threatening disorders and difficult decisions regarding which tests to order and to select evidence-based treatments. With dizziness and vertigo being amongst the most frequent causes for primary care physician and ED visits, a profound understanding of underlying pathomechanisms, diagnostic algorithms, and treatment options is essential. This Special Issue focuses on these topics among otorhinolaryngology, neurology, and ophthalmology. It will include studies from basic, translational, and clinical research, including single case reports, case series, lessons learned from diagnostic errors, and focused reviews. Thus, this Special Issue aims to extend the current knowledge in this extremely dynamic field, using a highly integrative approach across many subspecialities and facets centered on the dizzy patient.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All papers will be peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Clinical and Translational Neuroscience is an international peer-reviewed open access quarterly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.

Number and picture rapid automatized naming (RAN) tests are useful sideline diagnostic tools. The main outcome measure of these RAN tests is the completion time, which is prolonged with a concussion, yet yields no information about eye movement behavior. We investigated eye movements during a digitized Mobile Universal Lexicon Evaluation System (MULES) test of rapid picture naming. A total of 23 participants with a history of concussion and 50 control participants performed MULES testing with simultaneous eye tracking. The test times were longer in participants with a concussion (32.4 s [95% CI 30.4, 35.8] vs. 26.9 s [95% CI 25.9, 28.0], t=6.1). The participants with a concussion made more saccades per picture than the controls (3.6 [95% CI 3.3, 4.1] vs. 2.7 [95% CI 2.5, 3.0]), and this increase was correlated with longer MULES times (r = 0.46, p = 0.026). The inter-saccadic intervals (ISI) did not differ between the groups, nor did they correlate with the test times. Following a concussion, eye movement behavior differs during number versus picture RAN performance. Prior studies have shown that ISI prolongation is the key finding for a number-based RAN test, whereas this study shows a primary finding of an increased saccade number per picture with a picture-based RAN test. Number-based and picture-based RAN tests may be complimentary in concussion detection, as they may detect different injury effects or compensatory strategies. Full article
