Positional Nystagmus after Acute Vertiginous Attack in Meniere’s Disease by Haemin Noh, Dong-Han Lee, Jung Eun Shin, Chang-Hee Kim

“…Our patients exhibited very weak, persistent positional direction-changing nystagmus, which was geotropic in one and apogeotropic in the other. This type of positional nystagmus has been reported in other inner ear disorders and it cannot be clearly explained by typical benign paroxysmal positional vertigo. …”

Clinical Findings in Patients With Persistent Positional Nystagmus: The Designation of “Heavy and Light Cupula” by Xiaowu Tang, Xiaowu Tang, Xiaowu Tang, Qiuhong Huang, Qiuhong Huang, Qiuhong Huang, Ling Chen, Ling Chen, Ling Chen, Peng Liu, Peng Liu, Peng Liu, Tianci Feng, Tianci Feng, Tianci Feng, Yongkang Ou, Yongkang Ou, Yongkang Ou, Yiqing Zheng, Yiqing Zheng, Yiqing Zheng

“…According to the direction of nystagmus, we further divided the patients into “heavy cupula” (apogeotropic) and “light cupula” (geotropic) groups. We compared the incidence, characteristics of nystagmus and the efficacy of repositioning maneuver in the two groups.Results: Nine patients with persistent horizontal geotropic DCPN were confirmed as “light cupula,” other 16 patients with persistent horizontal ageotropic DCPN were confirmed as heavy cupula. …”

Square wave manoeuvre for apogeotropic variant of horizontal canal benign paroxysmal positional vertigo in neck restricted patients by Dario A. Yacovino, Estefania Zanotti, Karen Roman, Timothy C. Hain

“…In two cases, a direct relief of vertigo and elimination of nystagmus was observed without an intermediate geotropic phase. Although in three patients the affected ear was not initially identified, it was ultimately identified and successfully treated by the square wave manoeuvre in all of them. …”

The Patterns of Recurrences in Idiopathic Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo and Self-treatment Evaluation by Hyo-Jung Kim, Ji-Soo Kim

“…We defined the recurrence when patients had the redevelopment of BPPV at least 1 week after resolution of the previous one.ResultsDuring the initial attack, the involved canals were posterior in 134 (59.8%), geotropic horizontal in 53 (23.7%), apogeotropic horizontal in 27 (12.1%), anterior in 5 (2.2%), and mixed in 5 (2.2%). …”

A novel maneuver for diagnosis and treatment of torsional-vertical down beating positioning nystagmus: anterior canal and apogeotropic posterior canal BPPV by Octavio Garaycochea, Nicolás Pérez-Fernández, Raquel Manrique-Huarte

“…Two (1.25%) patients were diagnosed with a posterior canal-BPPV and successfully treated with an Epley maneuver after its conversion into a geotropic posterior BPPV. Conclusion: This new maneuver was found to be effective in resolving all the cases of torsional-vertical down beating positioning nystagmus-BPPV caused by an anterior canal-BPPV, and in shifting in a controlled way the posterior canal-BPPV cases of the contralateral side into a geotropic-posterior-BPPV successfully treated during the followup visit. …”

Change in Diagnosis of Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo During COVID-19 Pandemic by Lee DH, Shin JE, Jung T, Kim CH

“…Dix-Hallpike and supine head-roll tests were used to classify the subtype of BPPV as posterior semicircular canal (PSCC), geotropic lateral semicircular canal (geotropic LSCC), or apogeotropic lateral semicircular canal (apogeotropic LSCC) BPPV.Results: More patients with PSCC BPPV were diagnosed at the OPD compared with those who were diagnosed at the ER both before and during the COVID-19 pandemic; however, more patients with LSCC BPPV were diagnosed at the ER compared with those who were diagnosed at the OPD during the same periods. …”

Somatic Embryogenesis as Key Technology for Shaping the Rubber Tree of the Future by Eline Mignon, Stefaan Werbrouck

“…For long-standing Hevea clones, as for a lot of other tree species, one of the consequences of physiological aging is reduced in vitro growth and the lack of a proper geotropic (tap) root system. Somatic embryogenesis on young inner seed integument or stamen filaments provides a mean to regain ontogenetic juvenility. …”

Morphological and molecular insights of calcium in peanut pod development by Sai Rekha Kadirimangalam, Gajanan Sawargaonkar, Pushpajeet Choudhari

“…In peanut, calcium uptake by plants from the soil will remain in the plant tissues and will not be transported back to developing pods where calcium requirement is more. The geotropic growth of peanut pods had capacity of absorption of calcium from the soil for filling and development of pods. …”
