   Författare :Ulrika Johannesson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :combined oral contraceptives; quantitative sensory testing; pain thresholds; DNIC; endogenous; pain modulation; provoked vestibulodynia; vulvar vestibulitis syndrome; morphology; vulvar mucosa; steroid receptors;

   Sammanfattning : Objective: The main aim of this thesis was to study the impact of combined oral contraceptives (COC) on the vulvar vestibular mucosa and pain mechanisms; in healthy women and in women with provoked vestibulodynia (former vulvar vestibulitis syndrome). The somatosensory perception in the vulvar vestibular mucosa of healthy women was studied with the relation to COC. LÄS MER

3. 7. The vestibular system, a tool to study neurotoxicants in the central nervous system

   Författare :Magnus Niklasson; Måns Magnusson; Linköpings universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

   Sammanfattning : The vestibular and opto-ocular motor (VOOM) system in pigmented rats was investigated. Horizontal eye movements were recorded by the magnetic search coil technique during different kind of stimulations. The dynamics of the vestibular ocular reflex (VOR) and the optokinetic reflex (OKR) as well as the interaction of the two rel1exes were analysed. LÄS MER

4. 8. Contribution of Vestibular Evoked Myogenic Potentials (VEMP Test) to the Evaluation of Patients with Idiopathic Sudden Hearing Loss

   Författare :Georgios Stamatiou; Greece Athens National & Kapodistrian University of Athens School of Medicine; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

   Sammanfattning : Objective: To evaluate Vestibular Evoked Myogenic Potentials (VEMP) testing results in patients with unilateral Idiopathic Sudden Hearing Loss (ISHL) and to correlate them with the findings of caloric testing, the clinical appearance of vertigo, the influence of age, the grade and type of initial hearing loss and finally, the early recovery of subjects.Materials andMethods: One hundred and four (104) patients with unilateral ISHL and 35 healthy controls were subjected to a standard protocol of neurotological evaluation.

5. 9. Diagnostic considerations on whiplash associated disorders

   Författare :Carsten Tjell; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :Whiplash associated disorders; neck propriocepdon; oculomotor function; smooth pursuit eye movements; velocity gain; tension headache; cervical vertigo; auditory brainstem response; vestibular tests; hearing impairment; speech recognition; reading ability; cognitive function;

   Sammanfattning : Whiplash is caused by an acceleration-/deceleration transfer of energy to the neck. It commonly occurs in motor vehicle accidents. The force may result in lesions of the cervical spine and soft tissues, which may result in many clinical manifestations: whiplash associated disorders (WAD), according to the Quebec classification.

   Författare :Anne-Charlotte Hessén Söderman; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :Menieres disease; ELS; gentamicin; vestibular neurectomy; outcome assessment; health related-quality of life; sense of coherence; stress; case-crossover.;

   Sammanfattning : Menieres disease is an inner ear disorder of unclear origin, characterized by severe attacks of simultaneously appearing fluctuant hearing loss, vertigo, tinnitus and a feeling of aural fullness. The disease has a well-known natural course. LÄS MER
