Objective: To compare the efficacy of Vestibular sedative versus Epley manoeuvre in the management of benign paroxysmalpositional vertigo. Study design: Interventional Quasi experimental study. Place and duration of study: This study was conducted in ENTOPD Combined Military Hospital Rawalpindi from 1st January 2008 till 30th June 2008. Results: In this study out of 30 cases managed byvestibular sedative, 10 cases showed complete relief of symptoms after 01 month. Out of 30 cases managed by Epley manoeuvre, 28 casesshowed complete recovery after 01 month. The results were compared by Chi square test, as the data was mainly qualitative in nature. Theresults of both the groups were compared on day 3, day 7 and day 30, which revealed that Epley manoeuvre, is more effective than vestibularsedative in treatment of BPPV. Conclusions: Epley manoeuvre is more effective than vestibular sedative for treating the patients of benignparoxysmal positional vertigo.

Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo

Background: Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) is characterized by brief but violent attacks of paroxysmal vertigo provoked by certain positions of the head. BPPV is the most common cause of vertigo, resulting from migration of otoconia into the semicircular canals. Majority of patients have posterior canal BPPV. Epley’s Canalith Repositioning and Semont Liberatory Maneuver have been shown to be highly efficacious in the successfultreatment of posterior canal BPPV. The main objective of this study was to compare the efficacy of Epley’s maneuver versus Semont’s maneuver in the management of benign paroxysmal positional vertigo.Methods: This study was conducted in the Department of Otorhinolaryngology of a rural Medical College in Kerala, for a period of one and half year, from January 2015 to June 2016. It was an observational prospective cohort study. 200 patients with posterior canal BPPV were enrolled in this study based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. Patients were allotted alternatively to Epley’s group and Semont’s group, 100 patients in each group based on the treatment maneuvers they underwent. Efficacy of maneuvers were assessed at the end of 1st week, 1st month and 3rd month on the basis of resolution of symptoms and Dix-Hallpike negativity.Results: Of the 100 cases managed by Epley’s maneuver 95 cases showed complete relief of symptoms after 3 months. Out of 100 cases managed by Semont’s maneuver, 94 cases showed complete recovery after 3 months. The results were compared by Chi square test, as the data was mainly qualitative in nature. The results of both the groups were compared at the end of 1st week, 1st month and 3rd month, which revealed that both the Semont’s and Epley’s maneuver are equally effective in the treatment of posterior canal BPPV.Conclusions: Both Epley’s and Semont’s maneuver are equally effective for treating the patients of posterior canal benign paroxysmal positional vertigo.

Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo

Background: Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV) is associated with a fundamental condition that causes the release of large amounts of otoconia, due to deficits in the structure of the interotoconial filament matrix which implants otoconia in the gelatinous matrix. Increased uric acid levels cause an inflammatory response in the gelatinous matrix so that it can cause BPPV attacks. Objective: To determine the relationship between uric acid levels with BPPV events Research Methods: This research uses a case control design. Sampling was conducted at H. Adam Malik General Hospital Medan and RS. University of Sumatera Utara. The research sample consisted of 36 BPPV cases and 36 non BPPV cases. subject on a consecutive basis. Anamnesis and physical examination are performed to diagnose BPPV and examination of uric acid levels for hyperuricemia status. Data analysis using chi-square test Results: The majority of BPPV patient characteristics were found in women (63,9%), age range 41-50 years (36,1%), high school education level (33,3%), working as a housewife (30,6%), and Batak ethnicity (69,4%). The distribution of uric acid levels in BPPV patients was 6.59 (± 1.30) mg / dl. The distribution of hyperuricemia of BPPV patients was 58.3%. There is a significant relationship between uric acid levels with BPPV events. (p = 0.033; OR = 3.18). Conclusion: there is a significant relationship between uric acid levels with BPPV.

Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo

The results of a poll revealed that 96 singular neurectomies have been performed by ten surgeons in this country. Eighty-eight of these (91.7%) resulted in complete relief of benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV). In seven patients (7.3%) there was a sensorineural hearing loss as a result of this procedure. The average hospital stay for patients having this procedure ranged from 2–6 days, and the return to work time ranged from 1 to 3 weeks. These results indicate that singular neurectomy is an effective selective vestibular ablation procedure for BPPV and that the risks and disability are comparable to other routine middle ear procedures. The causes for failure of this procedure to relieve positional vertigo are a) misdiagnosis of BPPV and b) failure to recognize the singular nerve in the middle ear. Knowledge of the pathophysiology of the disorder and of the anatomical variation in the location of the singular canal will reduce these causes of failure.

During postpartum period, mother needs counseling on the usage of contraception tools. Contraception is needed before menstruation returns to prevent pregnancy. The purpose of this research was to investigate the influence postpartum counseling and mother’s individual factors on contraception usage in Kupang City. This was a quasi-experimental study. 64 respondents were selected through purposive sampling and divided into 2 groups, 32 people were given counseling and 32 were not. Data was collected using questionnaires. Data analysis was bivariate and multivariate. The result showed 22 respondents (68.75%) received counseling about postpartum contraception and 8 (25%) did not. The result of chi square test showed significant value of ρ = 0.000, indicating that postpartum maternal counseling influenced contraception usage. Therefore, postpartum maternal counseling affected contraception method usage by mothers in Kupang City.

Background: When a journal receives a duplicate publication the ability to identify the submitted work as previously published, and reject it, is an assay to publication ethics best practices. The aim of this study was to evaluate how three different types of journals, namely open access (OA) journals, subscription-based journals, and presumed predatory journals, responded to receiving a previously published manuscript for review. Methods: We performed a quasi-experimental study in which we submitted a previously published article to a random sample of 602 biomedical journals, roughly 200 journals from each journal type sampled: OA journals, subscription-based journals, and presumed predatory journals. Three hundred and three journals received a Word version in manuscript format, while 299 journals received the formatted publisher’s PDF version of the published article. We then recorded responses to the submission received after approximately 1 month. Responses were reviewed, extracted and coded in duplicate. Our primary outcome was the rate of rejection of the two types of submitted articles (PDF vs Word) within our three journal types. Results: We received correspondence back from 308 (51.1%) journals within our study timeline (32 days); (N = 46 predatory journals, N = 127 OA journals, N =135 subscription-based journals). Of the journals that responded 153 received the Word version of the paper, while 155 received the PDF version. Four journals (1.3%) accepted our paper, 291 (94.5%) journals rejected the paper, and 13 (4.2%) requested a revision. A Chi-Square test looking at journal type, and submission type, was significant (χ² (4)=23.50, p<0.001). All four responses to accept our article came from presumed predatory journals, 3 of which received the Word format and 1 that received the PDF format. Less than half of journals that rejected our submissions did so because they identified ethical issues such as plagiarism with the publication (133 (45.7%)).Conclusion: Few journals accepted our submitted paper. However, our findings suggest that all three types of journals may not have adequate safeguards in place to recognize and act on plagiarism or duplicate submissions.
