Article: [Postural control related to age in patients with benign positional paroxysmal vertigo].
[show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: To study the relationship between age and posturography in patients with benign positional paroxysmal vertigo. Prospective study performed in 65 patients with benign positional paroxysmal vertigo (BPPV) in any variant. Sensory Organization Test outcomes were recorded and compared with their equivalents in a control group by means of scatter-plot diagrams and regression line. For statistical study, Mann-Whitney's U-test was used. Slope for regression lines in composite was -0.0934 in group NORMAL; in group BPPV it was -0.4284. This difference is due to conditions 5 and 6. Results were statistically significative. BPPV patients have a worse postural control than control group. The difference is bigger the older the patient is. It is due to a failure in conditions 5 and 6, so it should be from a vestibular origin.Acta Otorrinolaringológica Española 11/2005; 56(8):354-60. -
Article: Postural control according to the age in patients with benign paroxysmal positional vertigo.
[show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: To study the relationship between age and postural control in patients with benign paroxysmal positional vertigo. Prospective study performed in 65 diagnosed patients with benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) in any of its variants. The results of the Sensory Organization Test are compared with their equivalent in a control group by means of scatterplot and regression lines. For the statistical study the Mann-Whitney's U test was used. In the NORMAL group, the regression line for composite has a 0.0934 slope; in the BPPV group, 0.4284. This difference is due to conditions 5 and 6 fundamentally, the results being statistically significant. The patients with BPPV have a worse postural control than the group control. This difference is much more pronounced the older the patient, and is of vestibular origin.Revue de laryngologie - otologie - rhinologie 02/2005; 126(4):267-70. -
Article: [Results of supraglottic laryngeal cancer treatment with endoscopic surgery using CO2 laser].
[show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: A group of 253 patients with laryngeal carcinoma was treated by endoscopic laser-CO2 surgery, 50 of them presented a supraglottic localization. The follow up period ranged from 1 to 10 years. From the analysis of different parameters (age, site, stage, histopathology, etc) it could be concluded that survival and free-symptoms-time rates in patients treated with laser endoscopy were similar to those obtained in patients treated with conventional external surgery. However, the endoscopic laser-CO2 surgery reported several advantages such as: no pharyngostoma, less complications, shorter stay in hospital and, consequently, lower health costs. In addition, tracheotomy was almost never necessary. Recurrencies can be also treated endoscopically, but, when total laryngectomy is needed following recurrency, this is considered to be a bad prognostic factor.Acta Otorrinolaringológica Española 11/2003; 54(8):569-74. -
Article: [Bimastoid leads and bilateral stimulation in the recording of auditory-evoked brain-stem potentials].
[show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The recording of auditory brain stem potentials (ABR) with bimastoid leads and bilateral stimulation makes it possible to evaluate relative cochlear function and the type of hearing loss. The theoretical background for this technique and the results obtained in patients with disease of the internal-middle ear, cochlea, and auditory nerve are discussed.Acta Otorrinolaringológica Española 05/1999; 50(3):191-5. -
Article: [Polymorphic reticulosis of the rhinopharynx].
[show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: "Malignant centrofacial granulomatosis" is an unusual but devastating spectrum of lymphoproliferative disorders that is now thought to include several entitites, such as polymorphic reticulosis or peripheral T-cell lymphoma. Characteristically there are destructive centrofacial lesions which often produce difficulties for the diagnostic to the clinician and pathologist. The case of a 71-year-old man diagnosed in our Department as polymorphic reticulosis sitting on the rhinopharynx is reported.Anales otorrinolaringológicos ibero-americanos 02/1999; 26(4):359-66. -
Article: [Heat and vestibular stimulation].
[show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: In 1905 Barany analyzed the nystagmus that appears during the irrigation of the ear with cold and hot water, justifying the phenomenon due to convectives currents in the horizontal semicircular canal. This hypothesis has been widely accepted until doubt was casted on it by the experiences carried out in the Skylab. Of the various mechanisms that could be responsible for the vestibular stimulation in the caloric tests, those which entail convection currents or endolymph expansion would need--we think--thermal gradients very superior to those occurring during these tests, that according to our calculations--always pro such hypothesis--seem insufficient.Anales otorrinolaringológicos ibero-americanos 02/1999; 26(4):329-40. -

Article: [Ectopic primitive thyroid papillary carcinoma: report of a fatal case and review of literature].
[show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: One percent of excised thyroglossal duct remnants exhibit histologic malignancy, a thyroid papillary carcinoma in 80% of the cases. The prognosis is excellent except for anaplastic types. We report the case of a 44-year-old woman with primitive thyroid papillary carcinoma diagnosed histologically as thyroglossal cyst. Its unusual aggressiveness produced local and regional spread, metastases and the patient's death in spite of treatment: Sistrunk operation, local excision of a recurrence and laryngothyroidectomy. Thyroid histology revealed the absence of carcinomatous foci. We discuss the most noteworthy aspects of the case in relation to other reports.Acta Otorrinolaringológica Española 45(2):124-7. -
Article: [Reading test as a qualitative method for evaluating the vestibulo-ocular reflex].
[show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: In the reading test the patient reads a text while his or her head is passively moved from one side to another with a frequency over 2 Hz. The vestibulo-ocular reflex (VOR) should stabilize the patient's gaze if it is performing adequately, allowing him or her to read well. Reading becomes impossible if the VOR is defective. We tested this method by assessing VOR in a 30-patient series by means of VAT and a previous reading-test score, and we compared the results of both groups. Next, the test was clinically validated with the bithermal caloric test. There were significant differences in ocular asymmetry between normal and strongly positive groups. The sensitivity, specificity, and positive and negative predictive values validated the reading testing as clinically useful.Acta Otorrinolaringológica Española 50(5):371-6.
