In general, dizziness is caused by various situations, but among them, symptoms due to dysfunction of the motor system belonging to the nervous system are the most severe, accompanied by nausea and vomiting. Treatment of these dizziness includes drug therapy, surgical therapy, and rehabilitation. Drug therapy and surgery are generally performed in vest rehabilitation training, which is a rehabilitation therapy because of the risk of aftereffects. The vestibular rehabilitation training includes eye training, posture stabilization training, and walking training. Among them, walking training is performed in a certain space under the supervision of a doctor or a professional therapist, so that the time and space burden is increased. In order to solve this problem, we implemented gait training contents which can be used for rehabilitation training by using the augmented reality technology. It is expected that it can be utilized as dizziness rehabilitative contents which can be used in medical environment through clinical tests for patients with dizziness.

Postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS) is characterized by increased heart rate with preserved blood pressure on orthostatic stress. Many patients with postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome can be misdiagnosed as neurosis, chronic fatigue or anxiety disorder. We report a patient with POTS who presented chronic dizziness and fatigue. In approaching to a patient with orthostatic or nonspecific chronic dizziness, the postural heart rate as well as blood pressure should be checked not to miss the diagnosis.

Objectives : The objective of this clinical case report is to describe an acupuncture treatment for dizziness after acoustic neuroma surgery. Methods : The patient was treated with acupuncture treatment for 4 months, 3 times per week. Duration for every treatment were 30 min by manual acupuncture with De Qi, which was designed to treat the dizziness and accompanied symptoms. Side-lying test was also used to evaluate dizziness and Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression(HDRS) to evaluate depression. We evaluated the clinical result of the treatment by observing the patients symptoms. Results : After acupuncture treatments for 4 months, patient's Side-lying test reduced to 10 second, and Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression reduced 4 points. Conclusions : The clinical case treatment report may suggest that the acupuncture treatment can be a meaningful option for the intractable dizziness after acoustic neuroma surgery, and also able to reduced depression scale.

Aviation medical examiners should always keep two principles in mind when evaluating patients with vertigo: Does this disease render him or her incapacitated? And does this disease recur? Meniere's disease accompanies vertigo and hearing symptoms such as hearing loss and tinnitus and is particularly important because it can render the patient incapacitated and has recurrent consequences. In this case, we intended to investigate the course of a patient who was evaluated with symptoms of dizziness and tinnitus and to review the patient's judgment result according to the principles of aeromedical evaluation.

본 논문에서는 레드비트를 이용한 다양한 기능성 음료를 제조하였다. 이 음료는 주로 숙취해소와 적혈구를 만들고 혈액 전부를 조절을 하는데 대표적으로 탁월한 기능을 가지고 있다. 그리고 레드비트는 당근과 오이를 혼합하여 사용하는 것도 탁월하다는 연구 결과도 나왔다. 이러한 효과는 당근과 비트, 그리고 오이 혼합즙을 이용하여 섭취한 결과 담낭과 간장에 있던 노폐물이 일주일 간 배출되어 순간 어지럼증을 느끼는 단점이 있지만 그 후 결석이 대변으로 나오고, 오줌에는 흐릿한 혼탁물이 나왔다. 그 이후에는 홀가분해지고 20년 간 젊어진 느낌이었다는 경험과 연구결과가 동시에 나온 것이다. 그러므로 당근과 오이와 같은 각종 채소를 이용하여 레드비트와 혼합을 하여 건강에 도움이 되는 기능성 음료를 제조하였다. 우리는 기능성 음료를 제조하여 기능성 음료의 시장성에 관하여 시장성에 타당한 지를 조사하여 분석해 보았다.

Vertigo and dizziness are common symptoms with various etiologies and pathogeneses. Vertigo is an illusion of motion due to disease of the vestibular system, usually a sense of rotation. Dizziness, a term that represents a wide range of non-vertigo symptoms, is commonly associated with non-vestibular disorders including old age, cardiac syncope, orthostatic hypotension, metabolic disease, anxiety, and drugs. Vertigo should be determined whether the cause is central or peripheral. Peripheral vertigo is usually benign but central vertigo is serious and often require urgent treatment. The careful history and detailed physical examinations(pattern of nystagmus, ocular tilt reaction, head impulse test and positional tests such as Dix-Hallpike maneuver) provide important clues to the diagnosis of vertigo. Most of patients have benign peripheral vestibular disorders - vestibular neuritis, benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV), and Meniere's disease. BPPV is a leading cause of peripheral vertigo and can easily be cured with a canalith repositioning maneuver. In this review, a focus is on the differential diagnosis of common vestibular disorders with peripheral and central causes.

Purpose: The purpose of this paper was to investigate clinical nurses' knowledge and educational needs about dizziness. One of the most frequent complaints among adult persons visiting the hospital is experiencing dizziness. Clinical nurses in the hospital play a crucial role in managing such patients. Methods: Our paper is a cross-sectional survey using structured instruments to evaluate clinical nurses' knowledge and educational needs about dizziness. This study was conducted January through February 2018. Subjects were 246 clinical nurses in an outpatient, intensive care, internal medicine unit and emergency department at university hospital. Data were analyzed using SPSS statistics 21. Results: The average ofdizziness knowledge score was 57.66± 23.75 (range 0-100) and educational need was 3.55 ± .47(range 0-5). There were significant differences in dizziness knowledge according to age (p< .001), working unit (p< .001), career duration (p< .001), change experience of unit (p< .001), dizziness patient care experience and participation in dizziness education (p< .001). There was positive correlation between knowledge of dizziness and the need for dizziness education (r= .26 p< .001). Conclusion: Results of this paper indicate that a dizziness education program is urgently needed for clinical nurses. Such a program should be seriously considered based on our results.

Epidural anesthesia has significantly advanced in neuraxial anesthesia and analgesia. It is used for surgical anaesthesia and treatment of chronic pain. Hearing loss during or after epidural anesthesia is rare, and it is known to occur by the change of the intracranial pressure. Cerebrospinal fluid is connected with perilymph in the cochlear and vestibule that is important to hearing and balance. If the intracranial pressure is abruptly transferred to the inner ear, perilymph can be leak, that called perilymphatic fistula, dizziness, and hearing loss can occur suddenly. We report a 65-year-old woman who presented with acute onset dizziness and hearing loss during the epidural nerve block for back pain, wherein we speculated a possibility of perilymphatic fistula as the mechanism of hearing loss and dizziness. The mechanism of dizziness and hearing loss was suspected with perilymphatic fistula.

Objectives: The purpose of this case report was to show the effects of Korean medicine treatment (KMT) with Gamibanhabakchulchunma-tang(GBBCT) on dizziness. Methods: This case report describes four patients with dizziness. The patients were treated with KMT, including GBBCT and acupuncture, while continuing to take the same medications they were already taking to treat underlying diseases. A numerical rating scale (NRS) was used to evaluate the effectiveness of treatment for dizziness. Results: After the treatment, the NRS score for dizziness decreased in all cases. Conclusions: These four cases showed that KMT with GBBCT may be effective for the treatment of dizziness. GBBCT can be used to treat dizziness, regardless of diagnosis.
