Otolith Function and Disorders
Annotation Topics presented were: Ultrastructural features of the two maculae with special emphasis on the neuromediators involved in vestibular signal processing; Review of the physiology of the otolith organs and some fascinating and unexpected roles of these structures in current clinical symptoms; Principal otolith-related syndromes drawing on clinical experience; Development of thoughts on the role of otoliths in movement perception; Clinical and instrumental investigation of otolith function and a critical appraisal for the tests used in vestibulometric practice with emphasis on the experience in eccentric rotatory testing; Use of the subjective visual vertical test, off-vertical axis rotation and click-evoked myogenic potentials as tools for functional investigations of the otolith organs. This volume provides an exhaustive view of the field in vestibulology, not only for neurophysiologists, otologists, neurologists, and kinesitherapists who are specialized in vestibular rehabilitation, but also for geriatrists and specialists in space medicine.
Prevention of Chronic Diseases and Age-Related Disability
This book explains how to promote and prolong “healthy ageing,” which constitutes maintaining daily functioning and well-being until the end of life. In this context, the editor of the book and the international team of authors, all of whom are experts on the various aspects of ageing, demonstrate the value of this new approach in clinical practice. The systematic integration of a functional assessment, if not a complete and comprehensive geriatric assessment, is fundamental in daily clinical practice. Identifying risk factors at midlife will help to promote health at any age. Moreover, randomized control trials are making it increasingly clear that interventions could help ageing and el...
Inner Ear Partition
PrefaceUp to now, it was generally believed that the destruction of any part of the membranous labyrinth invariably led to complete hearing loss. This concept is no longer accurate!It became apparent that the inner ear was compartmentalized into a cochlea and a vestibule, separated from each other by two valves. Each compartment with its own morphology, physiology, particular biochemistry, and specific pathology. Today, surgery of either of these compartments can be performed without fear for the integrity of the other. This constitutes a revolution in surgery of the inner ear and leads to per.
Atlas of Otologic Surgery and Magic Otology, Second Edition, Two Volume Set
In order to select and develop an appropriate therapy, it is essential to have an understanding of the anatomy, function and pathology of the organs involved, as well as the mechanisms of a disease. The second edition of this two volume set has been fully updated and gives special emphasis to structure, function, pathogenesis and research. Written by international experts, the atlas discusses new developments in otology, such as genetics and molecular biology, and includes a complete section on anatomy, histology, dissection, sculpturing and surgical procedures of temporal bones. Nearly 1600 detailed illustrations, figures and histology material including electron microscopy, assist understanding. A DVD featuring real cases and surgical procedures is also provided.
Chronic Otitis Media: Pathogenesis-Oriented Therapeutic Management
The history of surgery for chronic suppurative otitis media (CSOM) is littered with stories of techniques and materials that were tried with enthusiasm but without a reasonable expectation of long-term success. The early papers on tympanoplasty, and sadly even some still today, contain numerous short-term follow-up reports of new procedures that looked as if they might revolutionise ear surgery. By the nature of the problem, the longer-term results often proved to be poor and by the nature of humans, the original author didn't report this. As a result, perhaps hundreds of patients elsewhere were subjected to surgery that was already doomed to failure even before the operations started. The j...

Functional Surgery of Cerebellopontine Angle by Minimally Invasive Retrosigmoid Approach
The cerebellum is the area at the back of the brain that controls motor movement coordination, balance, equilibrium and muscle tone. The pons connects the cerebral cortex (responsible for thinking perceiving, producing and understanding language) with the medulla oblongata (controls autonomic functions such as breathing, digestion, heart and blood vessel function, swallowing and sneezing). It also serves as a communications centre between the two hemispheres of the brain. The cerebellopontine angle (CPA) is the anatomical space at the junction of the cerebellum and the pons and is a frequent site of benign tumour formation and other non life-threatening, functional disorders.

Modern Management of Acoustic Neuroma
Acoustic neuroma outcomes have been greatly improved by advances in microsurgical techniques, and recently by the long-term application of radiosurgery, which has proven to be an appropriate, verifiable, and extremely clinically relevant treatment strategy. This volume brings together the latest opinions of outstanding physicians and surgeons who treat patients with acoustic neuromas, commonly known as vestibular neuromas. Since the days of Cushing, when partial tumor removal seemed the best method for saving a patient's life, the management of this relatively rare tumor has sparked enormous clinical interest. The book outlines the various stages in the evolution of vestibular schwannoma sur...
