Equilibrium and Balance01:15

Equilibrium and Balance

5.8K
The inner ear assumes dual functionalities of auditory perception and equilibrium maintenance. The vestibule is the organ responsible for balance. This organ contains mechanoreceptors, specifically hair cells, endowed with stereocilia, which aid in deciphering information regarding the position and motion of our heads. Two intrinsic components, the utricle and saccule, help perceive head position, while the semicircular canals track head movement. Neurological messages initiated in the...

The Vestibular System01:29

The Vestibular System

42.7K
The vestibular system is a set of inner ear structures that provide a sense of balance and spatial orientation. This system is comprised of structures within the labyrinth of the inner ear, including the cochlea and two otolith organs—the utricle and saccule. The labyrinth also contains three semicircular canals—superior, posterior, and horizontal—that are oriented on different planes.

Parkinson's Disease: Overview

1.3K
Neurodegenerative disorders are progressive diseases that cause irreversible damage and loss to neurons in specific brain areas. Examples of these disorders include Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease, Multiple Sclerosis (MS), and Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS). These disorders share characteristics such as proteinopathies, selective neuronal vulnerability, and a complex interplay between genetic and environmental factors. The primary therapeutic goal for these conditions is...

Parkinson's Disease: Treatment

777
Neurodegenerative disorders, such as Parkinson's Disease (PD), involve the gradual and irreversible destruction of neurons in particular brain areas. These disorders exhibit standard features like proteinopathies, selective vulnerability of some neurons, and an interaction of intrinsic properties, genetics, and environmental influences in neural injury.
Parkinson's Disease is primarily a result of the loss of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra pars compacta. The cornerstone of...

Summary

Psoriasis patients show impaired vestibular function, evidenced by reduced cervical vestibular-evoked myogenic potential (cVEMP) amplitudes and otoacoustic emission values. This suggests a link between psoriasis and the vestibulocochlear system.

Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Dermatology
  • Neuroscience

Background:

  • Psoriasis is an immune-mediated inflammatory disease affecting keratinocyte proliferation.
  • Inflammatory conditions can impact the inner ear, potentially causing vertigo and dizziness.
  • Limited research exists on the relationship between psoriasis and the vestibular system.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate cervical vestibular-evoked myogenic potential (cVEMP) in psoriasis patients.
  • To assess the impact of psoriasis on vestibular system function.
  • To evaluate otoacoustic emission (DPOAE) in psoriasis patients.

Main Methods:

  • A cross-sectional study comparing 43 psoriasis patients with 40 healthy controls.
  • Participants underwent cVEMP and distortion product otoacoustic emission (DPOAE) testing.
  • Data on patient treatment duration and medications were collected.

Main Results:

  • Psoriasis patients exhibited significantly lower p13-n23 amplitude differences in cVEMP tests (P < .05).
  • Patients with psoriasis also showed lower signal-to-noise ratio values at 4 and 6 kHz in DPOAE tests (P < .05).

Conclusions:

  • Psoriasis is associated with vestibulocochlear dysfunction.
  • The findings indicate a potential link between this immune-mediated disease and inner ear function.
