The safety and efficacy of alternating chemoradiotherapy using cisplatin and 5-fluorouracil were retrospectively examined in nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients.
- •
The overall comlete response rate was 93% with preserving renal function.
- •
The 5-year overall survival and progression-free survival rates were 83.7% and 88.9%, respectively.
- •
Treatment compliance, the 5-year overall survival rate and the 5-year overall survival rate are comparable to that of previous reports.
- •
Alternating chemoradiotherapy using cisplatin and 5-fluorouracil in nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients was well tolerated with acceptable efficacy.
- •
SVV test evaluates the static otolith system and, cervical and ocular VEMPs, examines the dynamic.
- •
SVV, with the bucket method, and cervical and ocular VEMPs, contribute to the assessment of vestibulopathies.
- •
SVV and cervical and ocular VEMPs together, are advantageous to assess otolith disorders in Meniere’s disease.
- •
The COVID-19 pandemic has increased the rate of vertigo and exacerbated it.
- •
Health anxiety levels are higher in vertigo patients.
- •
There is a causal/trigger relationship between the current pandemic and coronavirus anxiety.
- •
Vertigo patients have a high rate of anxiety disorder.
- •
Weight loss promotes an increase in the area of the retropalatal region, especially in the lateral pharyngeal region.
- •
There is volumetric reduction of several soft structures of the pharynx, with emphasis on fat and tongue fat deposits.
- •
The airway height decreased, moving the hyoid closer to the posterior nasal spine and reducing the distance between hyoid to chin.
- •
Few studies with a good level of scientific evidence objectively describe the changes in the airways caused by weight loss.
- •
Post caloric recruitment index is the ratio between cold and warm stimulation.
- •
Post caloric recruitment index is useful to identify the affected ear separately.
- •
Video head impulse test did not prove to be a good predictor of post caloric recruitment.
- •
Thiamine is very important for both pregnancy and the continuation of pregnancy.
- •
Even though ABR is normal, degeneration occurs in IHC even if the thiamine deficiency is compensated with thiamine supplementation in the postnatal period.
- •
If the thiamine deficiency continues in the perinatal period also in the postnatal period, significant deterioration in ABR and significant degeneration in IHC occur.
- •
If there is no deficiency in the perinatal period, but thiamine deficiency occurs in the postnatal period, there is no degeneration in the hair cells.
- •
However, more studies are needed to support this issue
- •
Cluster headache is a primary trigeminal autonomic cephalalgia.
- •
Invasive therapies have been reported and can be medication-sparing.
- •
The sphenopalatine ganglion is implicated in autonomic cephalalgias.
- •
We describe a new technique for sphenopalatine ganglion neurostimulation.

A selection of recent RCT studies on salivary pepsin diagnosis.
- •
50 ng/mL is the current threshold for high diagnostic efficacy of salivary pepsin.
- •
Current salivary pepsin has a low diagnostic efficacy for pepsin.
- •
Increasing the diagnostic threshold improves diagnostic efficacy of salivary pepsin.
- •
Copy Number Alterations (CNAs) was investigated in specimens of Reinke’s Edema (RE).
- •
Microarray analysis revealed different rare CNAs in six of eight RE cases evaluated.
- •
Four RE samples presented CNAs encompassing genes related to cancer development.
