The neurootological data of 12 patients attending our ear, nose, and throat clinic were analyzed. The patients submitted to a neurootological routine evaluation consisting of patient history recording and audiometric and equilibriometric investigations (i.e., electronystagmography). The conclusion was that many tinnitus patients--even those who had no vestibular symptoms--showed some disturbanc...

Progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) has been reported as a disorder mainly characterized by tendency to fall, vertical gaze palsy, and constriction of the body axis, akinesia, cognitive impairment. Patients presenting with these typical clinical features are diagnosed having PSP-Richardson syndrome (PSP-RS). Electronystagmography (ENG) is useful for detection ocular motility disorder, which ma...

provides means of quantitative estimation of facial weakness. Graphic presenta tion of the dynamic aspects of facial weakness was made possible by recording of interlabial pressure through a pressure transducer during whistle action, recording of resistance changes between two electrodes produced by wrinkle and smile actions, and by recording of blinking speed with an electronystagmography. The...

The present study introduces the application of adaptative signal filtration in the time-frequency domain using reversible wavelet transformations for the determination of the electronystagmogram diagnostic parameters. A significant improvement in quality of the calculated diagnostic parameters has been achieved, expressed by a simultaneous occurrence of minimum inaccuracies and a minimum numbe...

Malaysia is often hailed as a development success story. However, one criticism of this success story is the over-emphasis on the ideology of economic and capitalist growth by the state in its setting, determining and directing of development. This paper looks into some of the most interesting and critical reflections on development. Representing prominent voices in Malaysian literature in Engl...

Because psychological aspects often are underscored in the generation of tinnitus, we assessed the neuropsychological status in our group of patients. We found an increased number of abnormal electronystagmography (ENG) recordings in tinnitus patients. The aim of this study was to compare the ENG outcome with the patients' neuropsychological status. We carried out the study on 69 subjects compl...

gmus, which were simultaneously induced not only from bitemporal but also from horizontal and vertical components of each eye separately. Following results were obtained. 1) Pathological finding in spontaneous nysta' gmus test was 54%, in ENG test was 81%, in both of spontaneous nystagmus test and ENG test was 86%, on the other hand, 65% was abnormal in caloric test. It showed that abnormal fin...
