A 1-hr exposure to 6∼12 kHz noise at 100 dB SPL could cause a temporary threshold shift in C57BL/6J mice without hair cell loss.
- •
The circadian timing of noise exposure did not affect ABR threshold shifts.
- •
The circadian timing of noise exposure influences noise-induced inflammatory responses in the mouse cochlea.
- •
Daytime noise may induce a greater inflammatory response than that of nighttime noise.
- •
Patients are relieved of benign paroxysmal postural vertigo symptoms after canalith repositioning manuevers however, some may be resistant.
- •
The need for multiple manuevers is more in Fukuda stepping test positive patients.
- •
The recurrence is less in Fukuda stepping test negative patients.
- •
When the Fukuda stepping test is positive, poor prognosis, need for multipl canalith repositioning manuevers and recurrences are expected.
- •
Fukuda stepping test is a valuable bedside test to predict the prognosis of benign paroxysmal postural vertigo.
- •
Head and neck schwannomas commonly present as a painless swelling in the neck, mostly in middle-aged females.
- •
Contrast computed tomography and magnetic resonance images can guide the diagnosis as well as surgery.
- •
Fine needle aspiration cytology with cellular smears is a cost-effective diagnostic tool for superficial lesions.
- •
Complete enucleation with preservation of nerve of origin is the preferred treatment modality, with negligible recurrence.
- •
Postoperative nerve palsy may be seen if the nerve of origin is not adequately identified or inaccessible.
