Abstract Vertigo is the sensation of spinning or having one’s surroundings spin about them. It represents about 25% of cases of occurrences of dizziness Yardley et al. (Br J Gen Pract 48(429):1131–1135, 1998). About 40% patients have peripheral vestibular dysfunction (Neuhauser in Curr Opin Neurol 20:40–46, 2007). Quality of life (QOL) is significantly impaired by vertigo (Patatas et al. in Braz J Otorhinolaryngol 75:387–394, 2009). To study the effect and compare vestibular exercises...

Abstract Growing evidence suggested that microRNAs (miRNAs) contributed to the progression of Crohn’s disease (CD), but the exact physiological functions of many miRNAs in CD patients still remain illusive. In this study, we explore the potent pathogenicity of miRNAs in CD. Expressions of miRNAs and aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR) protein were determined in the colitic colon of 2,4,6-trinitrobenzenesulfonic acid (TNBS)-induced colitis mice and CD patients. Colitis was induced...

Zusammenfassung Das klinische Bild sinusoidaler Erkrankungen der Leber ist eher uncharakteristisch. Es äußert sich in einem breiten klinischen Manifestationsspektrum wie Hepatomegalie, portaler Hypertonus oder als chronisches Leberversagen unbekannter Ursache. Im Gegensatz zu anderen Lebererkrankungen fehlt es an spezifischen serologischen, immunserologischen und röntgenologischen Befunden. Häufig weisen erst bioptische Befunde auf eine sinusoidale Erkrankung hin. Diese Übersicht...

Helicobacter pylori is an established cause of gastric ulcers. Its role in causing recurrent aphthous stomatitis (RAS) remains controversial. Fifty-two RAS patients and 52 sex-matched controls were recruited in this case–control study. All subjects were screened for hematinic deficiencies and H. pylori. The latter was assessed quantitatively using the 14C-urea breath test. The χ2 test and Wilcoxon signed ranks test were used to compare H. pylori and hematinic indices between cases and controls, while...
