Ultrastructural Aspects of the Human Peripheral Vestibular System
Acta Oto-Laryngologica, 1990The sensory epithelia from the membranous labyrinths of 4 patients were examined by transmission electron microscopy. The distribution ratio of type 1 to type 2 cells was recorded, compared for each sensory area and correlated with age. An ultrastructural assessment confirmed generalized patterns consistent with autolytic and preparation artefact, viz.

Temporal Bone Studies of the Human Peripheral Vestibular System
Annals of Otology, Rhinology and Laryngology, 2000Quantitative assessments of vestibular hair cells and Scarpa's ganglion cells were performed on temporal bones from 24 patients with well-documented Meniere's disease. Of these, 18 had unilateral disease and 6 had bilateral disease.

Peripheral Vestibular System Disease in Vestibular Schwannomas
Dizziness is a common symptom in patients with vestibulo-cochlear schwannoma (VS), and several recent studies have identified this symptom as the single most important concerning the quality of life. Clinical and histological observations regarding hearing loss have suggested that this may be caused by both cochlear and retrocochlear mechanisms ...

The possible effect of human menopausal gonadotropin on the audio-vestibular system
Auris Nasus Larynx, 2018Human menopausal gonadotropin (HMG) is one of the commonest drugs used for ovarian stimulation with no reports on the audio-vestibular system. This study aims to examine HMG on the hearing profile of patients planning intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI).This prospective study was conducted from June 2016 to June 2017 in a tertiary referral hospital.

Probing the human vestibular system with galvanic stimulation
Journal of Applied Physiology, 2004Galvanic vestibular stimulation (GVS) is a simple, safe, and specific way to elicit vestibular reflexes. Yet, despite a long history, it has only recently found popularity as a research tool and is rarely used clinically. The obstacle to advancing and exploiting GVS is that we cannot interpret the evoked responses with certainty because we do not ...

Effect of Transdermally Administered Scopolamine on the Vestibular System in Humans
Acta Oto-Laryngologica, 1993In order to elucidate the effect of scopolamine on the vestibular system in humans, various experimentally-induced forms of nystagmus, i.e. caloric nystagmus, rotational nystagmus, optokinetic nystagmus, visual-vestibular interaction and optokinetic after nystagmus, were evaluated before and after the administration of two pieces of Scopoderm-TTS or ...

Histopathology of the Peripheral Vestibular System after Cochlear Implantation in the Human
Otology & Neurotology, 2006The objective of this study was to describe the histology of the peripheral vestibular system in temporal bones from patients who in life had undergone cochlear implantation and to correlate the findings with previous reports of vestibular dysfunction after cochlear implantation.

Sliding Mode Control of the Human Vestibular System
Volume 1: Development and Characterization of Multifunctional Materials; Modeling, Simulation and Control of Adaptive Systems; Structural Health Monitoring, 2012An original sliding mode controller is designed, based on an existing mathematical model for response control of the human vestibular system. The human vestibular system is located in the inner ear and significantly contributes to the functions of detecting head motion, maintaining balance and posture, and realizing gaze stabilization.

Effects of temporary occlusion of a vertebral artery on the human vestibular system
Journal of Neurosurgery, 1970✓ Vestibular responses elicited by temporary occlusion of one vertebral artery were observed in 25 cases of intermittent vertebral artery compression (Power's syndrome) during surgical treatment by periarterial denervation of an isolated vertebral artery.
