    Neurotological symptoms and academic performance of university students
    (Academia Brasileira de Neurologia - ABNEURO, 2010-02-01) Marques, Marcia Mattos; Ganança, Mauricio Malavasi [UNIFESP]; Marques, Carolina Mattos; Ganança, Fernando Freitas [UNIFESP]; Caovilla, Heloisa Helena [UNIFESP]; Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP)
    OBJECTIVE: To compare the academic performance of university students with or without neurotological symptoms. METHOD: 100 students enrolled in the Biomedical Sciences Graduate School - Medical Modality of UNIFESP-EPM in 2007 and answered a neurotological screening questionnaire. RESULTS: The symptoms presented once, sometimes, many times or always, in a decreasing order of prevalence, were headache (74.0%), difficulty with concentration (57.0%), lack of memory (45.0%), physical indisposition, nausea /dizziness when in moving vehicle (37.0%), fainting (27.0%), nausea (26.0%), sensation of fullness in the ear (26.0%), hypersensitivity to sounds (26.0%), tinnitus (22.0%), vertigo and other kinds of dizziness (21.0%), imbalance when walking (21.0%), difficulty in hearing (21.0%), imminent sensation of fainting (11.0%) and vomiting (8.0%), alone or in different associations; convulsion was not mentioned. The final academic performance score ranged from 5.1 to 10.0. CONCLUSION: University students with or without neurotological symptoms have manifested similar academic performance.

    Posturografia do Balance Rehabilitation Unit (BRU TM) na doença de Ménière
    (Associação Brasileira de Otorrinolaringologia e Cirurgia Cervicofacial, 2010-10-01) Cusin, Flávia Salvaterra [UNIFESP]; Ganança, Mauricio Malavasi [UNIFESP]; Ganança, Fernando Freitas [UNIFESP]; Ganança, Cristina Freitas [UNIFESP]; Caovilla, Heloisa Helena [UNIFESP]; Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP); Universidade Bandeirante de São Paulo Programa de Mestrado Profissional em Reabilitação do Equilíbrio Corporal e Inclusão Social
    Posturography has been used in the evaluation of patients with vestibular disorders. AIM: To evaluate balance control with the Balance Rehabilitation Unit (BRU TM) posturography in patients with Menière's disease. STUDY DESIGN: Prospective case-control. MATERIAL AND METHOD: 30 patients diagnosed with Menière's disease and a control group consisting of 40 healthy matching individuals in relation to age and gender, were submitted to a balance function evaluation by means of a Balance Rehabilitation Unit (BRU TM) posturography. RESULTS: Comparing patients with Menière's disease and the control group, we found significant differences between the values of the sway speed in the static force plate, down optokinetic stimulation (p=0.038) and horizontal visual vestibular interaction (p=0.049); and of the ellipse area in the static force plate, eyes closed (p=0.001); left optokinetic stimulation (p=0.007); down optokinetic stimulation (p=0.003); horizontal visual vestibular interaction (p=0.003); and vertical visual vestibular interaction (p=0.028). CONCLUSION: The postural control assessment with the Balance Rehabilitation Unit (BRU TM) posturography enables the identification of sway speed and ellipse area abnormalities in patients with Menière's disease.

    Posturografia do Balance Rehabilitation Unit (BRU TM) na vertigem posicional paroxística benigna
    (Associação Brasileira de Otorrinolaringologia e Cirurgia Cervicofacial, 2012-06-01) Monteiro, Silvia Roberta Gesteira; Ganança, Mauricio Malavasi [UNIFESP]; Ganança, Fernando Freitas [UNIFESP]; Ganança, Cristina Freitas [UNIFESP]; Caovilla, Heloisa Helena [UNIFESP]; Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP)
    Posturography has been used in the evaluation of patients with vestibular disorders. AIM: To evaluate balance control with the Balance Rehabilitation Unit (BRU TM) posturography in patients with Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo. Study design: Prospective case-control. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A cross-sectional controlled study was carried out in 45 patients with BPPV, and a homogeneous control group consisting of 45 healthy individuals. Patients were submitted to a balance function evaluation by means of the Balance Rehabilitation Unit (BRU TM) posturography. RESULTS: The mean values of the ellipse area and the sway velocity in a firm surface and saccadic stimulation (p = 0.060). CONCLUSION: The Balance Rehabilitation Unit (BRU TM) posturography enables to identify postural control abnormalities in patients with BPPV.
