Observational study on risk factors determining residual dizziness after successful benign paroxysmal positional vertigo treatment: The role of subclinical BPPV [PDF]
After successful treatment for benign paroxysmal positional vertigo, many patients may complain of residual dizziness. Possible explanations may be the persistence of otolith into canal insufficient to provoke noticeable nystagmus, utricular dysfunction ...

ABSTRACT Background Falls are a major concern in the older population. An important cause of falls is fall‐risk‐increasing drugs (FRID). However, it is not known if the discontinuation of FRID leads to a reduction of falls. Therefore, the aim of this study was to assess the association between discontinuation of FRID and the occurrence of falls and ...

Idiopathic orthostatic hypotension: Recent data (eleven cases) and review of the literature [PDF]
Eight cases of Shy-Drager syndrome and three of Bradbury-Eggleston idiopathic orthostatic hypotension were examined. In all cases, examination of circulatory reflexes showed major dysfunction of the sympathetic vasoconstrictor system.

We found no associations between gastrointestinal and extraintestinal measures of diabetic autonomic neuropathy. Nonetheless, gastrointestinal symptoms increased with the severity of cardiovascular autonomic neuropathy and were associated with gastrointestinal measures.

Orthostatic hypotension and cardiovascular risk
Orthostatic hypotension (OH) is a cardinal sign of cardiovascular (CV) autonomic dysfunction as a result of autonomic nervous system failure to control the postural hemodynamic homeostasis. The proportion of individuals with OH increases with aging and chronic conditions, such as neurodegenerative diseases, hypertension, heart failure, diabetes, renal ...

Impaired Orthostatic Blood Pressure Recovery is associated with Unexplained and Injurious Falls [PDF]
Background/Objectives: Cardiovascular disorders are recognised as important modifiable risk factors for falls. However the association between falls and orthostatic hypotension (OH) remains ambivalent, particularly because of poor measurement methods of ...

Women in space: A review of known physiological adaptations and health perspectives
Abstract Exposure to the spaceflight environment causes adaptations in most human physiological systems, many of which are thought to affect women differently from men. Since only 11.5% of astronauts worldwide have been female, these issues are largely understudied.

Insights into the clinical management of the syndrome of supine hypertension--orthostatic hypotension (SH-OH): the Irish Longitudinal Study on Ageing (TILDA). [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Our previously proposed morphological classification of orthostatic hypotension (MOH) is an approach to the definition of three typical orthostatic hemodynamic patterns using non-invasive beat-to-beat monitoring.

Abstract Blood flow restriction (BFR) has been identified as a potential countermeasure to mitigate physiological deconditioning during spaceflight. Guidelines recommend that tourniquet pressure be prescribed relative to limb occlusion pressure (LOP); however, it is unclear whether body tilting or reduced gravity analogues influence LOP.
