The Automated Vestibular Rehabilitation System: Normative Data From a Machine Vision‐Guided Platform
The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.The Automated Vestibular Rehabilitation System (AVRS) is a machine vision‐based tool designed to increase accessibility to vestibular rehabilitation therapy by automating exercise delivery and tracking head‐eye movements in real time. In n = 40 healthy adults, the AVRS accurately measured vestibulo‐ocular reflex (VOR) gain values near physiologic norms

The Use of Non‐Selective Beta‐Blockers in Cirrhotic Portal Hypertension
Portal Hypertension &Cirrhosis, EarlyView.Non‐selective beta‐blockers (NSBBs) reduce portal pressure and play a key role in preventing variceal bleeding, managing ascites, and preventing hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in cirrhotic patients. Their clinical application requires individualized strategies and further optimization of indications. ABSTRACT Liver cirrhosis is the end stage of various
