Dessa infektioner kan inte behandlas med stafylokock-penicilliner och MRSA-bakterierna är ofta resistenta även mot flera andra grupper av antibiotika vilket medför att infektionerna ofta är påtagligt svårbehandlade.

7. 10. Contribution of Vestibular Evoked Myogenic Potentials (VEMP Test) to the Evaluation of Patients with Idiopathic Sudden Hearing Loss

   Author : Georgios Stamatiou; Greece Athens National & Kapodistrian University of Athens School of Medicine; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

   Abstract : Objective: To evaluate Vestibular Evoked Myogenic Potentials (VEMP) testing results in patients with unilateral Idiopathic Sudden Hearing Loss (ISHL) and to correlate them with the findings of caloric testing, the clinical appearance of vertigo, the influence of age, the grade and type of initial hearing loss and finally, the early recovery of subjects.Materials andMethods: One hundred and four (104) patients with unilateral ISHL and 35 healthy controls were subjected to a standard protocol of neurotological evaluation.
