Damage to the peripheral vestibular system is known to generate a syndrome characterized by postural, locomotor, oculomotor, perceptual and cognitive deficits. Current pharmacological therapeutic solutions for these pathologies lack specificity and e...

We have previously reported in a feline model of acute peripheral vestibulopathy (APV) that the sudden, unilateral, and irreversible loss of vestibular inputs induces selective overexpression of small conductance calcium-activated potassium (SK) chan...

Objectives. The aim was to analyze and compare the compensatory process, vestibular dysfunction, postural control, and perceived disability in a population of patients with vestibular neuritis (VN). Material and Methods. This is a prospective and lon...

Objective: The aim was to evaluate vestibular function in patients with unilateral vestibular schwannoma before and in the short and medium term after surgical treatment to analyze vestibular compensation. The identification of the prognostic factors...

Background/Objectives: Vestibular Physical Therapy (VPT) plays a crucial role in the rehabilitation of patients with vestibular disorders by promoting vestibular compensation through adaptation, habituation, and substitution mechanisms. While traditi...

Unilateral vestibular loss (UVL) induces a vestibular syndrome composed of posturo-locomotor, oculomotor, vegetative, and perceptivo-cognitive symptoms. With time, these functional deficits progressively disappear due to a phenomenon called vestibula...

Introduction and Objectives: Skull vibration-induced nystagmus (SVIN) has become a validated tool for evaluating the vestibular function. The presence of SVIN is a useful indicator of the asymmetry of vestibular function between the two ears. In unil...

Background and Clinical Significance: Vestibular disorders include a wide range of conditions with overlapping symptoms such as dizziness, vertigo and imbalance, often offering diagnostic challenges when distinguishing between peripheral and central...

Although radiologic methods confirm the diagnosis of patients with large vestibular schwannomas, these methods usually indicate only the size of the tumor and its possible nerve compression. Electrodiagnostic methods can reveal the functional state o...

Vestibular compensation is a natural behavioral recovery process following unilateral vestibular injury. Understanding the mechanism can considerably enhance vestibular disorder therapy and advance the adult central nervous system functional plastici...

In patients presenting in the emergency department with acute vertigo, a rapid and accurate differential diagnosis is crucial, as posterior circulation strokes can mimic acute vestibular losses, leading to inappropriate treatment. The diagnosis of ve...

Background: Vestibular Neuritis (VN) can induce unilateral acute vestibular syndrome (AVS). This study aimed to identify predictive factors of recovery from vestibular neuritis considering total restitution and/or compensation. Methods: In this longi...

The electrophysiological activities of head direction (HD) cells under visual and vestibular input dissociation are important to understanding the formation of the sense of direction in animals. In this paper, we fabricated a PtNPs/PEDOT:PSS-modified...

Background/Objectives: As precision medicine advances, attention to sex and gender determinants across epidemiological and clinical domains has intensified. However, in the audio-vestibular field, knowledge on sex- and gender-related aspects remains...

The diagnosis of the post-COVID condition is usually achieved by excluding other diseases; however, cognitive changes are often found in the post-COVID disorder. Therefore, monitoring and treating the recovery from the post-COVID condition is necessa...

With the development of inspection robot control technology, wheel-legged robots are increasingly used in complex underground space inspection. To address low stability during obstacle crossing in unstructured terrains, a motion control strategy inte...

Inertial sensors are increasingly used in rodent research, in particular for estimating head orientation relative to gravity, or head tilt. Despite this growing interest, the accuracy of tilt estimates computed from rodent head inertial data has neve...

Hearing impairment is the most frequent sensory deficit in humans of all age groups, from children (1/500) to the elderly (more than 50% of the over-75 s). Over 50% of congenital deafness are hereditary in nature. The other major causes of deafness,...

Objectives: To study the correlation between positive cochlin tomoprotein testing (CTP), magnetic resonance (MR) imaging, and the auditory and vestibular function amongst patients with sudden hearing loss. Study Design: Prospective case series. Metho...

Background/Objectives: Tumors of the cerebellopontine angle (CPA) encompass a limited range of histologies, predominantly vestibular schwannomas (VSs), meningiomas, and paragangliomas (PGLs). Their growth region threatens the cranial nerves (V–...

Background: For decades, patients with facial asymmetry have experienced social interaction difficulties, leading them to seek treatment in the hope of restoring facial symmetry and quality of life. Researchers evaluated numerous surgical techniques,...

Numerous studies have shown the recovery of auditory function in mouse models of genetic hearing loss following AAV gene therapy, yet translation to the clinic has not yet been demonstrated. One limitation has been the lack of human inner ear cell li...

Concussions, classified as a type of mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI), are frequently underdiagnosed due to the subjective nature of symptoms and limitations in existing diagnostic methodologies. Current clinical evaluations, including tools such a...
