Equilibrium and Balance

4.3K
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...

Chemotherapy-Induced Nausea and Vomiting: Neurokinin-1 Receptor Antagonists

144
Neurokinin 1 (NK1) receptors are distributed across the GI tract, vagal afferents, and key CNS regions including the central vomiting center and chemoreceptor trigger zone (CTZ) Chemotherapy agents stimulate enterochromaffin cells in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract to release large amounts of substance P (SP). SP is a neuropeptide released by specific sensory nerves in response to many different stressors, including those in the GI mucosa affected by chemotherapy.  SP binds and activates...

Area of Science:

  • Neuro-oncology
  • Clinical pharmacology

Background:

  • Vestibular schwannomas (VS) are tumors affecting cranial nerve VIII.
  • Prophylactic aspirin use for VS growth prevention is under investigation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review existing evidence on aspirin for preventing vestibular schwannoma growth.
  • To propose a prospective trial assessing aspirin's effect on VS progression-free survival.
  • To evaluate aspirin's impact on hearing, quality of life, and biomarkers.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of prophylactic aspirin use for VS.
  • Enrollment of patients in a prospective, double-blinded, placebo-controlled trial.

Main Results:

  • Retrospective reviews on aspirin's efficacy in preventing VS growth are inconclusive.
  • Eighty-four patients have been enrolled in an ongoing prospective trial.

Conclusions:

  • A robust study design is essential for definitive conclusions.
  • Current aspirin dosage is well-tolerated with minimal adverse events.
