It affects more than eight million people in the United States alone. The good news is that this condition can be managed at home. Carol A. Foster, an Associate Professor of Otolaryngology at the University of Colorado, Denver School of Medicine, developed a maneuver that allows sufferers to treat their own symptoms. Her YouTube video demonstrating the maneuver has more than five million views. Written in a friendly and approachable tone, Overcoming Positional Vertigo provides readers a more in-depth guide to the diagnosis of BPPV, the specifics of treatments and maneuvers, and preventative measures one can take to avoid recurrence.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV) is a clinical syndrome (or disorder) marked by the recurrent attacks of vertigo or dizziness, provoked by lying down or turning over in the supine position (i.e. when the head changes position in relation to the vector of gravity). It is the most frequent vestibular syndrome, with a lifetime prevalence of 10% by the age of 80. The clinician who deals with vertiginous patients ought to be familiar with this disorder. The general practitioner should be able to suspect BPPV from the history of the patient in order to refer the patient correctly and save unnecessary time as well as costs for the patient. This book is a relatively brief, but accurate approach to the diagnosis and treatment of BPPV. It is accompanied by high quality color figures of the most principal diagnostic and therapeutic maneuvers, so that they can be understood by clinicians and physiotherapists of both advanced and basic levels of knowledge for the topic. Figures of the maneuvers are accompanied by 3D and 2D (where appropriate) illustrations of the labyrinth with semicircular canals and otoconia placement in the lumen of the affected canal; through this way, pathophysiology becomes evident to the reader. A brief, but comprehensive report of treatment maneuvers is introduced by the most recent and reliable researchers is provided. Chapter Six is focused on the most principal evidence based data. Special care has been given to the chapter on differential diagnosis of BPPV, because clinical entities that can manifest with symptoms mimicking BPPV can also be associated with true BPPV. Clinical occurrences are also discussed, based on abundant literature references. This is a truly unique effort to offer the reader a detailed approach to these delicate clinical matters, which are not routinely reported with such clarity, accuracy and detail. Another practical issue of premium importance is failure of treatment and further measures. Up-to-date information is also provided in this last chapter. This book has been an effort to offer specialized knowledge -- both at a basic and advanced level -- in a clear, structured and pleasant-to-read presentation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This text reviews the current understanding of vestibular anatomy allowing for a framework of reference, and how it's applied to vestibular testing, diagnosis and management of dizziness. Vestibular testing is an important tool in the evaluation and management of the patient with dizziness. It aids in establishing a diagnosis and determining the side or site of the lesion. In addition, it guides practitioners in selection of treatment and allows the ability of the patient’s condition to be evaluated over its time course. Common vestibular pathologies such as benign positional vertigo, Meniere’s disease, multisensory imbalance, vestibular neuritis, superior canal dehiscence, and vestibular migraine will be addressed in a concise and understandable manner. The text follows a clear format in which the etiology, pathophysiology, diagnostic features and medical or surgical management of such pathologies are discussed. The book gains increased importance as superior canal dehiscence and vestibular migraine are relatively new hot topics. Lastly, relatively rare entities such as bilateral vestibular hypofunction, pediatric vestibular disorders and central vestibular disorders are discussed. This text serves as a complete reference for clinicians, students and researchers interested in this common and severe disorder allowing for improved patient care and advancement of knowledge in the field. Chapters are written by acknowledged experts, allowing summary review of the newest and most up-to-date understanding of scientific information. Diagnosis and Treatment of Vestibular Disorders will be an invaluable resource for otolaryngologists, neurologists, otologists and neurotologists, basic science and translational researchers with interests in the vestibular system, fellows and residents in aforementioned fields, and general practitioners with an interest in patients with symptoms of dizziness.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides teaching scripts for medical educators in internal medicine and coaches them in creating their own teaching scripts. Every year, thousands of attending internists are asked to train the next generation of physicians to master a growing body of knowledge. Formal teaching time has become increasingly limited due to rising clinical workload, medical documentation requirements, duty hour restrictions, and other time pressures. In addition, today’s physicians-in-training expect teaching sessions that deliver focused, evidence-based content that is integrated into clinical workflow. In keeping with both time pressures and trainee expectations, academic internists must be prepared to effectively and efficiently teach important diagnostic and management concepts. A teaching script is a methodical and structured plan that aids in effective teaching. The teaching scripts in this book anticipate learners’ misconceptions, highlight a limited number of teaching points, provide evidence to support the teaching points, use strategies to engage the learners, and provide a cognitive scaffold for teaching the topic that the teacher can refine over time. All divisions of internal medicine (e.g. cardiology, rheumatology, and gastroenterology) are covered and a section on undifferentiated symptom-based presentations (e.g. fatigue, fever, and unintentional weight loss) is included. This book provides well-constructed teaching scripts for commonly encountered clinical scenarios, is authored by experienced academic internists and allows the reader to either implement them directly or modify them for their own use. Each teaching script is designed to be taught in 10-15 minutes, but can be easily adjusted by the reader for longer or shorter talks. Teaching Scripts in Internal Medicine is an ideal tool for internal medicine attending physicians and trainees, as well as physician’s assistants, nurse practitioners, and all others who teach and learn internal medicine.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Vertigo, dizziness, and imbalance rank amongst the most common presenting symptoms in neurology, ENT, geriatric medicine, and general practice. These symptoms can originate from many different organs and systems, such as the inner ear, general medical conditions, neurological and psychological disorders. The Oxford Textbook of Vertigo and Imbalance provides an up-to-date summary of the scientific basis, clinical diagnosis, and management of disorders leading to dizziness and poor balance. This textbook is conceptually divided into three sections, detailing the scientific basis, general clinical issues, and specific diseases diagnosed in clinical practice that are responsible for complaints of dizziness and imbalance. Individual chapters address benign paroxysmal positional vertigo, vestibular migraine, vestibular neuritis, stroke, and Ménière's disease. Additional chapters follow a syndrome-based approach and cover multiple conditions, including cerebellar disorders, bilateral vestibular failure and gait, and psychological disorders. The print edition is complemented by an online version, which allows access to the full content of the textbook, contains links from the references to primary research journal articles, allows full text searches, and provides access to figures and tables that can be downloaded to PowerPoint. It serves a useful clinical reference for neurologists, otorhinolaryngologists, audio-vestibular physicians, and senior trainees in those specialties.
