Dizziness comes in many forms in each age group - some specific to an age group (e.g. benign paroxysmal vertigo of childhood) while others span the age spectrum (e.g., migraine-associated vertigo).? This content organizes evaluation and management of the dizzy patient by age to bring a fresh perspective to seeing these often difficult patients.
The pediatric section begins with a review of vestibular embryology and physiology and moves toward a comprehensive discussion of methods - both bedside and in the vestibular lab - to evaluate the child with dizziness, or "clumsiness, concluding with an exploration of the differential diagnosis of dizziness and relevant findings. Dizziness in the adolescent points to migraine headache as a common cause, enumerates treatment strategies for migraine-associated vertigo, and offers guidelines for when to image the adolescent with dizziness.
Adult dizziness is more a compilation of the relevant diagnoses, but the section starts with dizziness that can affect young adults - especially members of our Armed Forces fighting overseas - traumatic brain injury/blast injury. This content also has relevance for patients in
motor vehicle accidents and head injury patients. Medicolegal aspects of evaluation and management of dizzy patients are succinctly
covered in "Evaluation of Dizziness in the Litigating Patient. The final chapter in this section, "Other Causes of Dizziness, ? provides
a very thorough overview of unusual causes of dizziness in the adult population.
Dizziness associated with advancing age is quite common and often multifactorial, as is highlighted in the chapter "Dizziness in the
Elderly. A comprehensive review of the posterior cerebral circulation, transient ischemic attacks, and posterior circulation stroke is
presented in the chapter, "Vertebrobasilar Insufficiency. No coverage of dizziness in the elderly is complete without an exposition of polypharmacy and medication effects.? Other common diagnoses of dizziness in the elderly are thoughtfully reviewed along with a survey
of new and old techniques to rehabilitate the older patient with dizziness or disequilibrium.
Patients presenting with dizziness can harbor serious, if not life-threatening, conditions such as stroke, brain abscess, or severe chronic
?ear disease. At the end of several articles, the reader will find a relevant table - What Not To Miss - a list of clinically significant signs
and symptoms not to ignore, or conditions (differential diagnosis) that may masquerade as that discussed in the chapter but critically
important that the practitioner should not overlook in the evaluation of the patient. Many articles in this edition start with a clinical
scenario so the reader can recognize common presenting symptoms, demographic features, and factors in the medical history that
will aid in making the diagnosis.

Salivary endoscopy and lithotripsy are completely new, and rapidly emerging medical fields for the United States and North America. Salivary endoscopy is now mainly known in Europe, having been utilized there since the early 1990s. Sialendoscopy can be either a diagnostic or interventional procedure. As a treatment, sialendoscopy is used for blocked salivary glands and is branching out for diagnosis in terms of ductal pathology and treatment of other conditions as well. Diagnostic sialendoscopy can replace most of the radiological examinations of the salivary ductal system. Lithotripsy is used therapeutically for salivary stones. Topics include: Causes, Incidence, and Natural History of Salivary Gland Duct Stones and Obstructions; Radiologic Diagnosis of Salivary Gland and Duct Obstructions; Technology of Sialendoscopy; Basic Sialendoscopy Technique for Salivary Stones; Treatment of Juvenile Recurrent Parotitis and Sjogren's Disease among others.

Manual of Allergy and Clinical Immunology for Otolaryngologists presents the most up-to-date knowledge related to allergy and immunology directed towards the unique needs of otolaryngologists. Many of the clinical conditions treated by otolaryngologists have an allergic or immunologic pathogenesis, including sinusitis, rhinitis and otitis, and otolaryngologists are often required to use allergic methodology in treating these problems. This book is a resource to which physicians can refer to help them manage allergic aspects of common ENT problems and their diagnosis and management.The book begins with an introduction to the fundamental immunologic processes necessary to understand allergic mechanism and diseases and goes on to include food and drug allergies, anaphalaxsis, immune deficiencies, occupational allergic diseases, and tumor immunology, among other topics. Otolaryngologists across all specialties as well as residents will benefit from the current information that focuses on the most important aspects of each topic in a concise, easy to reference format. **From the Foreword: "The fields of allergy, immunology, and otolaryngology are inextricably linked.Immunologic dysregulation is recognized to be the underpinning of a wide variety of diseases of the head and neck, and on a daily basis the practicing otolaryngologist must draw upon principles of allergy and immunology in the diagnosis and treatment of patients. For example, it is a rare patient presenting with a sinonasal complaint in whom consideration of allergic etiologies is not relevant. The otolaryngologist must also have a strong understanding of autoimmune illnesses to recognize the unique array of potential head and neck manifestations associated with autoimmune disease. Equally important, a deeper understanding of immunopathology may be the key to unlocking the mechanisms of major diseases ranging from chronic rhinosinusitis to head and neck cancer. Thus it is imperative for the otolaryngologist to master principles of allergy and immunology in order to provide optimal patient care. The body of knowledge encompassed by allergy and immunology is rapidly evolving and expanding, posing a great challenge for otolaryngologists seeking to keep up with diagnostic and treatment advances in the field.This splendid textbook offers a comprehensive, multidisciplinary encapsulation of contemporary allergy and immunology for the otolaryngologist. Drs. Rosenstreich, Fried, de Vos and Jackman have assembled an illustrious group of authors who have managed to distill the essentials of allergy and immunology for the otolaryngologist without sacrificing scientific content or detail. The reader will appreciate clear elucidation of basic science concepts and the practical translation of basic science principles to the clinical management of otolaryngologic illnesses. Diagnostic and treatment guidelines are presented with a comprehensive and pragmatic approach. This book is essential reading for all otolaryngologists, from trainees looking to grasp the breadth of overlap between otolaryngology and allergy/immunology, to seasoned otolaryngologists seeking to update their fund of knowledge with the latest developments in immunophysiology and clinical treatment. The knowledge gained from this expertly edited volume will benefit our patients tremendously." --Peter H.Hwang, MD, Professor and Chief, Division of Rhinology and Endoscopic Skull Base Surgery, Department of Otolaryngology-Head & Neck Surgery, Stanford University School of Medicine

A unique perspective on neuroendoscopic versus microsurgical techniques from world-renowned neurosurgeons In the last two decades, neuroendoscopy has evolved from a fringe neurosurgical tool to an established subspecialty focusing on the treatment of diverse cranial and spinal diseases. Today, neuroendoscopic technology is widely used to treat supratentorial diseases, skull base pathologies, craniocervical diseases, and spinal pathologies. Despite the expanded use of neuroendoscopy across several subspecialties, its benefits and disadvantages versus those of traditional microsurgical methods remain highly controversial. Contradictory evidence in the neurosurgical literature adds to the surgical decision-making challenges for veteran and novice practitioners alike. Controversies in Neuroendoscopy by Peter Nakaji and Hasan Zaidi fills an unmet need for a book encompassing best practices, patient selection, and limitations and advantages of neuroendoscopic surgical approaches. Each case presents firsthand knowledge of internationally esteemed neurosurgeons, with a moderator, an endoscopic expert, and an expert in traditional microsurgical approaches. The unique discussion of neuroendoscopy versus microsurgery enables readers to compare the benefits and pitfalls of endoscopic and open microsurgical procedures for a wide range of conditions. In-depth comparative guidance on applications of the flexible endoscope, rigid endoscope, 3D endoscope, and high-definition 2D endoscope versus the microscope A full spectrum of neurological conditions across the age continuum with comparative approaches for skull base surgery, pituitary surgery, hydrocephalus, spinal surgery, peripheral nerve surgery, and arachnoid cyst fenestration Radiological imaging and intraoperative photographs enhance cases and provide precise, insightful technical guidance High-quality color illustrations from the skilled medical illustrators at Barrow Neurological Institute reinforce key points and surgical techniques Neurosurgery residents, neurosurgeons, and spine surgeons will all benefit from reading this remarkable book cover to cover, and they will no doubt use it as a go-to resource for specific cases.

Endoscopic sinus surgery has quickly become one of the most commonly performed operations in otolaryngology, with over 400,000 cases performed annually. The narrow confines of the sinonasal tract and the complex relationships with adjacent vital structures, demands a high degree of technical precision and provides little room for surgical error. The potential for disorientation during surgery is heightened when surgical landmarks are obscured because of bleeding, extensive disease or previous surgery, and when operating with angled-view endoscopes. Due to the proximity of the orbit and skull base, complications from sinus surgery can be catastrophic. Negative outcomes following endoscopic sinus surgery continue to be a leading cause of malpractice suits against otolaryngologists. It is therefore not surprising, that the introduction and continued proliferation of technological innovations has been met with such robust enthusiasm by the Rhinology community. The application of surgical navigation technology to sinonasal and skull base procedures, as an example, has ushered in a new era of surgical approaches to inflammatory as well as non-inflammatory conditions of this region. The endosopic approaches to the nearby orbit and skull base have expanded in part, due to technological advances; but these novel techniques have themselves also fostered the development of unique instrumentation. This issue of The Clinics appraises new technological developments in endoscopic sinus and skull base surgery and also critically examines recent updates to existing instrumentation. Each of the structured articles within is written by leading experts with extensive experience with the technology. The authors provide a description of the technology and how it works, and analyze the current role of the technology; including an evidence-based review of its impact on clinical outcomes, where appropriate.

Accurately diagnosing the myriad of diseases that can affect the mouth, guiding patients correctly, and offering treatment with competence is a permanent challenge for dental surgeons and health professionals. Often, the diagnosis of these diseases is neglected or wrongly performed. This concise book guides health professionals in clinical decision making in oral diseases, assisting them not only on the diagnosis and treatment of oral and maxillofacial diseases, but also in terms of value and benefit of who treats the condition and, above all, who will be treated. The work provides guidelines formulated by a compilation of specific protocols of conduct, focusing on the scientific evidence and enriched by the authors' critical analyses. The book is divided into eight main sections that include twenty-eight chapters. Most of them have no more than 5 pages and follow the same format to standardize their use. Each chapter begins with a summary of the topic, a brief description of the main disease that fall into this diagnostic category, and their main definitions. Then, the clinical characteristics, ways of making the diagnosis, and a protocol for treatment for each lesion are presented. Additionally, the experienced authors interestingly discuss their perceptions on how to give bad news in the Oral Medicine setting; and the last section is especially dedicated to the dental management of medically complex patients or with little-known diseases, such as Burning Mouth Syndrome and COVID-19. More than 140 high resolution clinical images illustrate the book. Clinical Decision-Making in Oral Medicine targets is designed for health professionals and physicians from various specialties, who are interested in diseases with systemic repercussions that affect the oral and maxillofacial complex and in oral repercussions of treatments for complex diseases such as head and neck cancer. Students in dentistry may also find the book of value.
