Abstract

Objective

The study aimed to examine postural stability changes in individuals who have recovered from COVID-19 infection.

Methods

Fifty patients who recovered from the COVID-19 infection and 50 healthy controls were compared using the dizziness handicap inventory (DHI), a modified clinical test of sensory interaction balance (mCTSIB), limits of stability (LOS), rhythmic weight shift (RWS), and Romberg and fall risk (FR) tests.

Results

Regarding mCTSIB, regardless of gender patients, female patients, or male patients, there were no significant differences from controls (p > 0.05). There was a significant difference in LOS between the patients and controls regarding (p < 0.05) in some parameters. There was a significant difference between the patients and controls concerning RWS (p < 0.05) for some parameters. There was a significant difference between the patients and controls regarding the Romberg test in some parameters (p < 0.05). There was no statistically significant difference between the patients and control groups regarding FR.

Conclusion

Studies in which the effects of COVID-19 infection sequels have been evaluated on the vestibular system in the literature are subjective. The main concern is the prevalence of dizziness or vertigo in subjective studies. There may be a decrease in postural reflexes in female individuals who recovered from the COVID-19 infection in this study, thanks to the objective test measurement. Increased oscillations with eyes closed on regular ground and soft ground in the Romberg test may likely indicate vestibular problems.

Kopf-Hals-Tumore: Lebensqualität von Langzeitüberlebenden

Eine aktuelle Studie des Universitätsklinikums Erlangen verdeutlicht, dass Langzeitüberlebende von Kopf-Hals-Tumoren eine geringe Symptomlast aufweisen. Die am häufigsten auftretenden Beschwerden – Müdigkeit, Angstzustände, Schläfrigkeit und Schmerzen – sollten von den behandelnden Ärztinnen und Ärzten gezielt adressiert werden.

Schlafapnoe – es lag an einer verbogenen Nasenscheidewand

Tritt eine obstruktive Schlafapnoe vor allem in einer bestimmten Seitenlage auf, kann dies auch an einem verbogenen Nasenseptum liegen. Eine Septumplastik lindert die Beschwerden mitunter deutlich.

Wie gefährlich sind suspekte Veränderungen in der Mundhöhle?

Wie hoch ist das Risiko, dass sich aus einer bereits verdächtigen Veränderung der Mundschleimhaut ein Karzinom entwickelt? Ein US-Team hat dazu das Patientenregister der Universität San Francisco ausgewertet.

Chronische Rhinitis mit Botox lindern

Eine Injektion von Botulinumtoxin A in die Nasenmuscheln lindert Beschwerden einer chronischen Rhinitis für etwa zwei bis drei Monate. Vor allem Personen mit allergischer Rhinitis können davon profitieren.
