BackgroundA high incidence of benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) is reported in postmenopausal women, and the association between estradiol (E2) deficiency and the occurrence of BPPV was investigated.MethodsPostmenopausal women with and without BPPV were included from 2016 to 2019, and 1-year follow-up was performed. Serum otolin-1 and E2 levels were assayed before the canalith repositioning treatment. Bone mineral density (BMD) was measured with a dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry scan. Receiver operating characteristic analysis was performed to determine the occurrence of BPPV, and Pearson analysis was performed to indicate the correlation between E2, otolin-1, and BMD.ResultsEighty-six postmenopausal women with BPPV and 80 age-, demographics-, and clinical characteristics-matched normal postmenopausal women were enrolled. Decreased E2 levels, increased otolin-1 levels, and decreased BMD were observed in postmenopausal women with BPPV, and increased BMD and decreased otolin-1 levels were observed in patients with higher levels of serum E2. Receiver operating characteristic analysis revealed that E2, otolin-1, and BMD showed low sensitivity and moderate specificity to determine the occurrence of BPPV. On the other hand, a low correlation coefficient was found between E2 and otolin-1, or BMD. It is worth noting that low E2 levels were found in the relapsed patients with BPPV after a 1-year follow-up.ConclusionE2 deficiency is correlated with the occurrence of BPPV, which may be a potential risk biomarker for postmenopausal women. 相似文献

It has been noted that benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) may be associated with certain disorders and medical procedures. However, most studies to date were done in Europe, and epidemiological data on the United States (US) population are scarce. Gender-based information is even rarer. Furthermore, it is difficult to assess the relative prevalence of each type of association based solely on literature data, because different comorbidities were reported by various groups from different countries using different patient populations and possibly different inclusion/exclusion criteria. In this study, we surveyed and analyzed a large adult BPPV population (n = 1,360 surveyed, 227 completed, most of which were recurrent BPPV cases) from Omaha, NE, US, and its vicinity, all diagnosed at Boys Town National Research Hospital (BTNRH) over the past decade using established and consistent diagnostic criteria. In addition, we performed a retrospective analysis of patients’ diagnostic records (n = 1,377, with 1,360 adults and 17 children). The following comorbidities were found to be significantly more prevalent in the BPPV population when compared to the age- and gender-matched general population: ear/hearing problems, head injury, thyroid problems, allergies, high cholesterol, headaches, and numbness/paralysis. There were gender differences in the comorbidities. In addition, familial predisposition was fairly common among the participants. Thus, the data confirm some previously reported comorbidities, identify new ones (hearing loss, thyroid problems, high cholesterol, and numbness/paralysis), and suggest possible predisposing and triggering factors and events for BPPV. 相似文献

Background
The necessity of postural restriction to patients suffering from benign paroxysmal positional vertigo is controversial.Objective
To investigate the impact of the sleep position after the repositioning maneuver on BPPV recurrence.Methods
150 unilateral BPPV patients who were treated by repositioning maneuver were distributed into two groups. The patients in group A were instructed to sleep in a semi-sitting position at an angle of approximately 30 degrees and refrain from sleeping on their BPPV affected side for one week. The patients in group B were told to sleep in any preferred position. The comparison of recurrence rates according to different actual sleep positions in one week and one month was performed.Results
There was a statistically significant correlation between the sleeping side and the side affected by BPPV. Without instructions on postural restriction, most patients (82.9%, 73/88) avoided sleeping on their affected side. The patients sleeping on their affected side had a higher recurrence rate (35.3%) than ones sleeping in other positions in the first week after the repositioning maneuver (p<0.05, Chi-square test and Fisher''s exact test). The patients sleeping randomly in following 3 weeks had a lower recurrence rate than ones sleeping in other position (p<0.05, Fisher''s exact test).Conclusions
BPPV patients had a poor compliance to postural instructions. The habitual sleep side was associated with the side affected by BPPV. The patients sleeping on their affected side had a higher recurrence rate than those sleeping in other positions in first week after the repositioning maneuver. 相似文献4.

Background
Despite its frequent occurrence and effective treatment options, benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) still remains under-estimated in the community.Methods
We reviewed referral letters and medical records of 120 patients who were treated for BPPV at our Dizziness Clinic during the years 2006–2008 and searched for factors that possibly contribute to missing this entity.Results
The referral diagnosis could be clustered into four groups: BPPV (25.6%), further unspecified vertigo (36.6%), dizziness (27.5%) and other (10%). BPPV was recognized more frequently by ENT doctors than by other specialists. Patients referred with the correct diagnosis of BPPV were significantly younger and the duration of their symptoms shorter than in other referral groups. Patients in the distinct referral groups did not differ in the presence of autonomic symptoms or a history of another serious disease. A history typical of BPPV could be obtained in all but 11 patients, but position dependence was noted by the referring physician only in 55 patients, 31 of them correctly assigned as possible BPPV. Only in two patients was the Dix-Hallpike test performed. Thirty two patients were diagnosed with BPPV in the past, but this did not influence the recognition of the recurrence of this clinical entity. About 40% of patients had an audiogram and/or brainstem auditory evoked potentials. Electronystagmography was performed in 7.5% and brain imaging in 14% of patients before referral.Conclusion
Our results show that BPPV is still an under-recognized entity. Education and the demand on specialists to learn how to treat BPPV, could improve the situation. 相似文献5.
Background
Dizziness/vertigo is one of the most common complaint and handicapping condition among patients aged 65 years and older (Geriatric patients). This study was conducted to assess the impact of dizziness/vertigo on the quality of life in the geriatric patients attending a geriatric outpatient clinic.Settings and Design
A cross-sectional study was performed in a geriatric outpatient clinic of a rural teaching tertiary care hospital in central India.Materials and Methods
In all consecutive geriatric patients with dizziness/vertigo attending geriatric outpatient clinic, DHI questionnaire was applied to assess the impact of dizziness/vertigo and dizziness associated handicap in the three areas of a patients’ life: physical, functional and emotional domain. Later, each patient was evaluated and underwent Dix-Hallpike maneuver by the physician who was blind of the DHI scoring of the patient.Statistical Analysis Used
We compared means and proportions of variables across two categories of benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) and non-BPPV. For these comparisons we used Student’s t-test to test for continuous variables, chi-square test for categorical variables and Fisher’s exact test in the case of small cell sizes (expected value<5).Results
The magnitude of dizziness/vertigo was 3%. Of the 88 dizziness/vertigo patients, 19 (22%) and 69(78%) cases, respectively, were attributed to BPPV and non-BPPV group. The association of DHI score ≥50 with the BPPV was found to be statistically significant with x2 value = 58.2 at P<0.01.Conclusion
DHI Score is a useful tool for the prediction of benign paroxysmal positional vertigo. Correct diagnosis of BPPV is 16 times greater if the DHI Score is greater than or equal to 50. The physical, functional and emotional investigation of dizziness, through the DHI, has demonstrated to be a valuable and useful instrument in the clinical routine. 相似文献6.

Objective
The aim of this study was to compare the consumption of dental treatment among patients with Crohn´s disease (CD) or ulcerative colitis (UC) compared to age and gender matched control groups.Design
The study group comprised 2085 patients with CD and 3161 with UC from the Uppsala-Örebro region and from the Stockholm region. The patients in the cohort were diagnosed between 1960 and 1989. Patients up to 70 years of age were included in the study. The two patients groups were compared to age- and gender-matched, randomly selected control groups from the same geographic area comprising a corresponding number of participants.Results
CD patients had significantly higher total number of procedures registered (p < 0.000). The difference was most pronounced for removable dentures (+65%), fillings in front teeth (+52%) and endodontic treatment (+46%) when Crohn’s patients were compared to controls (p<0.001). The corresponding figures for UC patients were also a significantly higher total number of procedures (p < 0.005), more clinical examinations (p<0.000), fillings in canines and incisors (p < 0.001) and fillings in bicuspids and molars (p < 0.000).Conclusion
This study demonstrate that CD and UC individuals use more dental treatment compared to an age-gender matched control group, and more caries-related treatments. The difference was most pronounced for restorative treatment in patients with Crohn’s. 相似文献7.

BackgroundAdequate application of guidelines concerning non-invasive ischemia testing (NIIT) could avoid inappropriate invasive testing in non-emergency situations. Hardly any data exists regarding frequency and appropriateness of diagnostic coronary angiography (CA). The aim of this study was to evaluate the proportion and predictors of patients without NIIT prior to elective purely diagnostic CA without therapeutic intervention.MethodsRetrospective cross-sectional analysis of insurance claims data from 2012 and 2013. Patients <18 years, acute cardiac ischemia and emergency procedures and patients insured in a managed care model were excluded from analysis. The proportion of patients with NIIT procedures (stress-ECG, transthoracic echocardiography, stress echocardiography, scintigraphy, computer tomography, heart MRI) undertaken within two months before diagnostic CA was assessed. Multiple logistic regression analysis was applied to investigate independent determinants for receiving NIIT.Findings2714 patients were included for analysis. 37.5% (1018) did not receive any NIIT before CA. When high risk patients (patients having received therapeutic cardiac intervention within one month after or 18 months prior to diagnostic CA, n = 766) were excluded 34.3% (669) did not receive NIIT before CA. High risk status as well as >6 chronic comorbidities were independently associated with a lower proportion of NIIT (p<0.0001, OR 0.607 and p = 0.0041, OR 0.648), when additionally controlled for age, sex, language area, insurance coverage, inpatient treatment, cardiovascular medication and lower number of chronic comorbidities. Age (p<0.05, OR 1.009) and intake of oral antiplatelet therapy (p<0.0001, OR 1.914) were independently associated with a higher proportion of NIIT when controlled for the mentioned cofactors.ConclusionsOur data show that despite the existence of guidelines a substantial overuse of a potentially harmful and inappropriate diagnostic intervention is performed suggesting the need for improvement of diagnostic pathways prior to invasive testing. 相似文献

We investigated the association between the risk of herpes zoster (HZ) and diabetes-related macrovascular comorbidities and microvascular disorders in diabetic patients. This retrospective study included 25,345 patients with newly identified HZ and age- and gender-matched controls retrieved from the National Health Insurance Research Database in Taiwan during the period of 2005 to 2011. Multivariate logistic regression analyses were used to calculate the odds ratios (OR) and to assess the risk factors for HZ in diabetic patients with associated macrovascular or microvascular disorders. Risk factors for HZ were significantly increased in cases of diabetes mellitus (DM) compared with those in cases of non-DM controls (20.2% vs. 17.0%, OR = 1.24, p<0.001). Results of age- and gender-adjusted analyses demonstrated a significantly higher risk of HZ in DM patients with accompanying coronary artery disease (CAD) (adjusted OR = 1.21, p<0.001) and microvascular disorders (aOR = 1.32, p<0.001) than in DM patients with other comorbidities but no microvascular disorders. Patients who took thiazolidinedione, alpha-glucosidase inhibitors and insulin had a higher HZ risk than those taking metformin or sulphonylureas alone (aOR = 1.11, 1.14 and 1.18, p<0.001, respectively). Patients who took insulin alone or in combination with other antidiabetic agents had a significantly higher risk of HZ (aOR = 1.25, p<0.001) than those who received monotherapy. Diabetic patients comorbid with coronary artery disease and associated microvascular disorders had an increased risk of HZ occurrence. 相似文献

Background
Co-morbidities of vertiginous diseases have so far not been investigated systematically. Thus, it is still unclear whether the different vertigo syndromes (e.g. benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV), Meniere's disease (MD), vestibular migraine and phobic vertigo (PPV)) have also different spectrums of co-morbidities. 相似文献11.
Backgroundrs11801299 and rs1380576, two novel polymorphisms in MDM4 gene, have been investigated in several different cancer types. However, the role of these two polymorphisms in retinoblastoma (RB) remains unclear.MethodsA total of 126 patients with primary RB and 148 age-/gender-matched controls were included in this retrospective study. The frequency of rs11801299 and rs1380576 were determined between RB patients and controls. The association of these two polymorphisms with clinicopathological characteristics, prognosis were further evaluated.ResultsAA genotype at rs11801299 was significantly associated with an increased risk of developing RB (OR = 2.06, 95%CI 1.09–3.90). The possibility of developing RB was also significantly increased in individuals with A allele at rs11801299 (OR = 1.49, 95%CI 1.06–2.08). RB patients carrying AA genotype and A allele at rs11801299 were more likely to have tumor invasion and poor differentiation. As for rs1380576, a significantly lower risk of developing RB was observed in patients with G allele (CG + GG) compared with wild-type CC genotype (OR = 0.59, 95%CI 0.36–3.95). RB patients with GG genotype or G allele had a lower risk of developing highly aggressive cancer. Kaplan-Meier curves and log-rank results revealed that RB patients carrying AA genotype or A allele (AA + GA) at rs11801299 had significantly poorer prognosis. Multivariate COX analysis showed that the rs11801299 G allele was associated with decreased survival but was not an independent prognostic factor.Conclusionrs11801299 was significantly associated with RB risk, pathological differentiation, tumor aggressiveness and poor prognosis. 相似文献

Recently, there has been increased interest in chronotypes and clinical differences between them. However, there is limited information about the potential influence of the chronotypes on clinical manifestations and symptom intensity of somatic diseases. The aim of this study is to evaluate the impact of biological rhythm differences and sleep quality on benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) and larengo pharyngeal reflux (LPR) severity. Forty-four LPR patients, 43 BBPV patients and 42 controls were included in the study. The morningness–eveningness questionnaire was used to determine chronotypes, and the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index was used to assess subjective sleep quality. Both patient groups reported a significantly greater tendency to eveningness diurnal preferences compared to healthy controls. As with the circadian preferences, patients with BPPV or LPR characterized by poorer sleep quality and worse insomnia than non-patient individuals. It can be concluded that the circadian rhythm and sleep quality are related to the severity of LPR and BPPV. 相似文献

ObjectiveTo evaluate magnetic resonance imaging parameters, T2 signal intensity ratios (SIRs), and normalized apparent diffusion coefficients (n-ADC) of the extraocular muscles (EOMs) in the identification of different stages of Graves’ ophthalmopathy (GO) and to find out the correlation of T2-SIRs and n-ADC values with disease changes after anti-inflammatory treatment.MethodsAltogether, 43 patients (86 orbits) were enrolled and classified into “active” or “inactive” stages by clinical activity score (CAS). Twenty-three (53.5%) patients received anti-inflammatory treatment and underwent a follow-up evaluation. Fifteen age- and gender-matched control participants (30 orbits) were included. T2-SIRs and n-ADC values of EOMs were calculated among GO and healthy controls and were correlated with CAS. Changes in these parameters were also evaluated before and after anti-inflammatory treatment.ResultsMean T2-SIRs and n-ADC values were both significantly higher in GO patients than in controls and higher in active GO than in inactive GO. In the inactive stage, n-ADC values of inferior rectus muscles were still higher than those in healthy controls. Both T2-SIRs and n-ADC values decreased after intravenous steroid pulse therapy. The cutoff value of pretreatment n-ADC was 1.780 to detect stages with specificity of 93.7% and sensitivity of 48.3% (P = .035).ConclusionT2-SIRs and n-ADC values are valuable magnetic resonance imaging indicators of the inflammatory activity in GO by detecting involvement of EOMs. They are also ideal tools to monitor the efficacy of anti-inflammatory treatment in patients with active stage GO. n-ADC values, when combined with CAS, can be promising predictive factors in the detection of stages of diseases. 相似文献

Middle-latency somatosensory evoked potentials (SEPs) following median and posterior tibial nerve stimulation were studied in 40 patients with Down's syndrome and in age- and gender-matched healthy controls as well as in middle-aged and aged healthy subjects. In median nerve SEPs, latencies of the initial cortical potentials, N18 and P18, showed no significant difference, but the following potentials N22, P25, N32, P41 and P46 were relatively or significantly shorter in latency in Down's patients than in the controls. Amplitudes of all components in Down's patients were significantly larger than those of age- and gender-matched controls as well as of those of middle-aged healthy subjects, but there was only a small difference in their amplitudes from aged healthy subjects. Results of posterior tibial nerve SEPs were generally consistent with those of median nerve SEPs. Therefore, ‘short latency with large amplitude’ is the main characteristic of middle-latency SEPs in Down's syndrome, possibly related to accelerated physiological aging of the central nervous system. 相似文献

Quantitative analysis of benign paroxysmal positional vertigo fatigue under canalithiasis conditions
In our daily life, small flows in the semicircular canals (SCCs) of the inner ear displace a sensory structure called the cupula which mediates the transduction of head angular velocities to afferent signals. We consider a dysfunction of the SCCs known as canalithiasis. Under this condition, small debris particles disturb the flow in the SCCs and can cause benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV), arguably the most common form of vertigo in humans. The diagnosis of BPPV is mainly based on the analysis of typical eye movements (positional nystagmus) following provocative head maneuvers that are known to lead to vertigo in BPPV patients. These eye movements are triggered by the vestibulo-ocular reflex, and their velocity provides an indirect measurement of the cupula displacement. An attenuation of the vertigo and the nystagmus is often observed when the provocative maneuver is repeated. This attenuation is known as BPPV fatigue. It was not quantitatively described so far, and the mechanisms causing it remain unknown. We quantify fatigue by eye velocity measurements and propose a fluid dynamic interpretation of our results based on a computational model for the fluid–particle dynamics of a SCC with canalithiasis. Our model suggests that the particles may not go back to their initial position after a first head maneuver such that a second head maneuver leads to different particle trajectories causing smaller cupula displacements. 相似文献

BackgroundThe objective of this study was to determine the association between the use of antiarrhythmic agents and the risk of malignant neoplasm of liver and intrahepatic bile ducts (MNLIHD).MethodsWe used the research database of the Taiwan National Health Insurance Program to conduct a population-based, case-control study. We identified 9944 patients with antiarrhythmic history who were first diagnosed as having MNLIHD between 2005 and 2010. We identified an additional 19,497 patients with antiarrhythmic history in the same period who did not develop MNLIHD and were frequency-matched using age, sex, and index year to form a control group. Five commercially available antiarrhythmic agents, amiodarone, mexiletine, propafenone, quinidine, and procainamide, were analyzed.ResultsThe adjusted odds ratio (OR) of MNLIHD was 1.60 (95% confidence interval [CI], 1.45–1.77) for amiodarone users versus nonamiodarone users. In subgroup analysis, amiodarone use was significantly associated with an increased risk of MNLIHD with an adjusted OR of 18.0 (95% CI, 15.7–20.5) for patients with comorbidities compared to an OR of 2.43 (95% CI, 1.92–3.06) for those without comorbidities. After adjustment for age, sex, statins, anti-diabetes medications, non-steroidal antiinflammatory drugs, propafenone use, quinidine use, and comorbidities, the ORs were 1.49, 1.66, and 1.79 for MNLIHD associated with annual mean defined daily doses of ≤30, 31–145, and >145, respectively.ConclusionsThe results of the present study indicated that amiodarone might be associated with the development of MNLIHD in a dose-dependent manner, particularly among patients with comorbidities. 相似文献

BackgroundRed blood cell distribution width (RDW) is frequently increased in inflammatory disorders, and the magnitude of its elevation correlates with disease severity. This study was hence aimed to explore RDW values in patients with psoriasis.MethodsThe study population consisted of 366 adult patients with mild to severe plaque psoriasis and 366 age- and sex-matched blood donor controls. For each psoriatic patient, demographic, clinical, and laboratory data were regularly collected.ResultsRDW and MCV were significantly higher in psoriatic patients compared to controls (13.95 vs. 13.40% and 90.4 vs. 89 fL; both p<0.01). In order to assess whether RDW elevations were related to psoriasis severity, we divided our psoriatic patient population into two groups based on a PASI cut-off of 10. No significant differences were observed between the two groups (i.e., PASI>10 and 10) in terms of RDW (p=0.36). Adopting different PASI cut-offs (i.e. 3, 5, 7, 12) did not result in statistically significant differences (p=0.93, 0.48, 0.22, 0.42, respectively). In linear regression analysis, no significant correlation was found between RDW and PASI or CRP, nor with age, gender, or the psoriasis comorbidities listed in Table I. Furthermore, no significant difference in RDW values was noted between psoriatic patients with and without PsA (p=0.27).ConclusionsThe results of this study confirm that RDW is elevated in psoriatic patients, though the magnitude of its increase did not appear to be associated with disease severity. 相似文献

ObjectiveTo identify clinical characteristics and factors associated with the development of euglycemic diabetic ketoacidosis (eDKA), and develop suitable strategies to reduce such events.MethodsElectronic health record (EHR) data were extracted to identify all patients between December 1, 2013, and March 30, 2021, who underwent surgical procedures and had been prescribed a sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitor (SGLT2i) before these procedures. The resulting list was streamlined to a subset of patients who either had diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) listed as a hospital diagnosis, postoperative serum bicarbonate ≤ 16 mmol/L, or postoperative serum pH ≤ 7.20. Clinical documentation and laboratory data were reviewed to determine the patients with eDKA.ResultsA total of 2183 procedures conducted on 1307 patients, met the inclusion criteria with the majority (1726, 79.1%) being nonemergent patients. Among 1307 patients, 625 (47.8%) were prescribed empagliflozin, 447 (34.2%) canagliflozin, 214 (16.4%) dapagliflozin, and 21 (1.6%) ertugliflozin, respectively. A total of 8 incidences pertaining to eDKA were noted for 8 unique patients; 5 had undergone emergency surgery whereas 3 had undergone nonemergent procedures. In the 3 nonemergent cases, only 1 patient had received counseling to stop the SGLT2i 3 days before the procedure. In perioperative patients who were prescribed an SGLT2i over 6 years, the incidence of eDKA was 0.17% and 1.1% for nonemergent and emergent procedures, respectively.ConclusionEuglycemic DKA was rare in patients undergoing nonemergent procedures, likely because of preoperative instructions to stop their SGLT2i 3 days before the procedure. Euglycemic DKA was more likely to occur in patients undergoing emergency surgery when the SGLT2i could not be prophylactically stopped. 相似文献

BackgroundCXC chemokine ligand 16 (CXCL16) is an inflammatory chemokine that mediates renal infiltration of macrophages and activated T cells. Aim: To investigate serum levels of CXCL16 in patients undergoing hemodialysis and their correlation with other inflammatory markers such as C-reactive protein (CRP) and intact parathyroid hormone (iPTH).MethodsThe study included 40 hemodialysis patients (22 males) and 40 age and gender-matched controls (24 males). Fasting blood sugar (FBS), urea, creatinine, calcium and inorganic phosphorous were assayed in participants using routine methods, glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) by quantitative chromatographic spectrophotometry, iPTH by chemiluminescent microparticle immunoassay, CRP by nephelometry and CXCL16 by ELISA technique.ResultsSerum CXCL16, CRP, PTH, FBS, HbA1c, phosphorus, urea, and creatinine levels were significantly higher in hemodialysis patients compared to controls (p<0.00001). No statistically significant differences were observed between patients and controls for calcium. Serum CXCL16 levels correlated positively with CRP (r=0.956, p<0.00001) and iPTH (r=-0.403, p<0.001). Hemodialysis patients (diabetics or hypertensives) had significantly higher CXCL16 levels compared to non-diabetics or non-hypertensives.ConclusionsHigh levels of serum CXCL16, CRP and iPTH reflect the inflammatory status of hemodialysis patients and help avoid complications. Serum CXCL16 could be used as a biomarker together with CRP in these patients. 相似文献
