Randomized trial of the canalith repositioning procedure.

Thirty-six subjects with confirmed, unilateral benign paroxysmal positioning vertigo of at least 2 months' duration were randomly assigned to one of two treatment groups. After complete informational counseling and explanation of the posttreatment instructions, subjects were randomly assigned to receive either Epley's canalith repositioning procedure or a placebo maneuver. All subjects completed a daily diary for 1 month to document any dizzy spells and their adherence to the posttreatment instructions. Follow-up Dix-Hallpike testing was performed after 1 month by an audiologist who was blinded to the patient's treatment group status. Analysis of Dix-Hallpike results confirmed that those who received the canalith repositioning procedure had significantly more negative responses (88.9%) than did those in the placebo group (26.7%).

The Mayo Clinic experience with the cochlear implant.

The implantation of a cochlear electronic prosthetic device is an acceptable means of improving the communication ability of pre- and postlingually deafened children and adults. A significant number of patients in this series are in the senior citizen age group. It has been beneficial in improving communication ability in selected profoundly deafened individuals. There has been a significant improvement in the cochlear electronic prosthetic device since the initial report of Djourno in 1957.

The evolution of home care in The Netherlands.

As the Netherlands strives to reform its entire health care delivery system, home care is perhaps the one sector where the opportunity for innovation is the greatest. Home care is evolving from a low-technology, noncompetitive, and simply regulated field to an arena in which technology, market forces, and increasing regulatory complexity characterize its growth.
