Objective: To describe the effects of traditional Korean medicine on dizziness and gait disturbance arising after removal of a vestibular schwannoma. Methods: The patient was treated using Korean medical treatments, such as herbal medicines (Jaeumkunbi-tang-gagambang and Yookmijihwang-Insamyangyoung-tang-gagambang), acupuncture, and moxibustion. We measured the state and progress of this case with the Korean Vestibular Disorder Activities of Daily Living Scale (K-VADL), Berg Balance Scale (BBS), and a visual analogue scale (VAS). Results: After treatment, the K-VADL score decreased from 167 to 74 and the VAS score decreased from 10 to 5.7, while the BBS score increased from 3 to 42. Conclusion: Jaeumkunbi-tang-gagambang (滋陰健脾湯) and Yookmijihwang-Insamyangyoung-tang-gagambang(六味地黃湯 合 人蔘養榮湯 加減方) appear to be effective for controlling dizziness and gait disturbances occurring after removal of vestibular schwannomas.

In order to find out the frequencies of symptoms and the relations between the symptoms and working hours, the numbers of spraying pesticides authors investigated 145 farmers(96 male, 49 female persons) from 6 Myon's of 3 Gun's in Kyeongnam Province. The results were as follows; 1. The most frequent farming years were 1-5 years, fruits were the most common, and working hours were over 9 hours in 41.4%. The commonly used pesticides were insecticides, herbicides, herbicides in order. Only 52.4% of the farmers used masks, and 69.0% bathed after spraying pesticides. 2. The most common symptoms being complained were sweating, lumbago, shoulder pain, dizziness, headache, fatigue, decreased vision, weight loss, dyspnea and nausea in order. 3. Dizziness was more common in younger ages and decreased vision was more common in elder ages. Dyspnea and shoulder pain were more common in female farmers. 4. The more longer the working hours, the more complained indigestion, lumbago, shoulder pain and nausea. The more faster came into vinyl-house after spraying pesticides, the more common fatigue and dizziness. 5. The farmers who sprayed more pesticides complained headache, dyspnea, weight loss. 6. Vinyl house workers who worked more than 7 hours complained headache, nausea, decreased vision, lumbago more frequently than who worked less than 6 hours. 7. The farmers who entered in 1-2 hours after spraying pesticides complained fatigue more frequently than those entered after 3 hours. 8. Vinyl house workers without using masks complained dizziness and dyspnea more commonly than those using masks. But headache was more common among those using masks contrary to expectation.

멀미(Motion Sickness)란 전정기관에서 감지된 움직임과 시각적으로 감지된 움직임이 서로 충돌하는 경우에 발생하는 어지럼증 증상이다. 어지럼증이 발생할 경우 사용자는 메스꺼움 및 구토감, 방향 감각 이상과 피로 등의 증세를 호소한다. 이러한 어지럼증 원인이 다양하여 증상에 대한 감별과 치료가 어려운 질환이다. 특히 어지럼증의 유형 중 시각 정보로 인해 유발되는 어지럼증(Visually Induced Motion Sickness)은 발전하는 VR산업에서 해결해야 할 고질적인 숙제로 남아있다. 이러한 VIMS에 대한 분석은 사용자의 활력 징후 측정 및 특징 분석과 EEG 특성 분석을 통하여 가능하다. 이에 본 논문에서는 EEG 신호를 기반으로 시각 정보로 인해 유발되는 어지럼증(VIMS)의 최소화 방안에 대해 고찰하며, 그와 관련된 연구 동향들을 분석한다.

사용자가 HMD(Head Mounted Display) 기기를 착용하고 VR(Virtual Reality) 애플리케이션을 체험하다보면 사이버 멀미(Cybersickness)를 경험하게 된다. 사이버 멀미의 원인은 아직 불명확 하지만 주로 눈으로 들어오는 시각 정보와 전정기관(이동과 평형감각을 주관하는 감각 기관)에 들어오는 감각 정보가 불일치할 때 발생하는 것으로 알려져 있다. 그러나 사이버 멀미를 측정하기 위한 데이터 수집 및 분석시스템 개발에 대한 연구는 부족한 상태이다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 사물인터넷 플랫폼으로 VR HMD 기기를 착용한 사용자로부터 뇌파와 생체 데이터를 수집하고, 결정 문턱값으로 사이버 멀미가 유발하는 어지럼증을 판별하는 시스템을 설계한다. 14명 실험 참여자를 고려하여 어지럼증 검출 성능을 평가한 결과, 약 92% 정확도를 나타내었다.

Background and Objectives: Dizzy patients with abnormal otolith function tests, despite a normal caloric response, are defined as having specific (isolated) otolith organ dysfunction. This study was performed to compare the differences in clinical presentation between isolated otolith dysfunction (iOD) patients with lab- and Sx-based iOD group and lab-based iOD symptoms. Subjects and Methods: The medical records of 23 iOD patients with normal caloric response but abnormal cervical vestibular evoked myogenic potential (VEMP), ocular VEMP, or subjective visual vertical were reviewed. Non-spinning vertigo was considered as otolith-related symptoms. The patients' age, onset of dizziness, Numeric Rating Scale on the severity of dizziness, and concomitant vestibular disorders were analyzed. Results: Patients in the lab-based iOD group were significantly older than those in the lab- and Sx-based iOD group. Known vestibular disorders were significantly more common in the lab-based iOD group (83.3%) compared to the lab- and Sx-based iOD group (18.2%). Despite the normal caloric response, catch-up saccade was found in the video head impulse test in more than half (54.5%) of the lab-based iOD group patients. There was no catch-up saccade in the lab- and Sx-based iOD group. There were no significant differences in gender ratio, frequency of dizziness attacks, and duration of illness. Conclusions: We propose new definitions of definite iOD (lab- and Sx-based iOD) and probable iOD (lab- or Sx-based iOD). These new definitions may help researchers to identify patients who are more likely to have true iOD, and facilitate comparisons of results between different studies.

In this study, I investigated physiology and pathology of the kidney and then researched deficiency of the kidney-nourishing the Eum music therapy to apply for clinical use, because symptoms such as chronic fatigue, morbus asthenia, anxiety, dizziness, tinnitus, and amnesia are prevalent in our modern societies. These symptoms are due to deficiency of the kidney. The kidney stores vital essence and has a function to keep activities as motive power. If the kidney is abnormal in storing the essence and holding Gi, various symptoms like dizziness, tinnitus, amnesia are caused by deficiency of the kidney. In deficiency of the kidney-nourishing the Eum music therapy, Water-Gi music which can store the essence is mainly used. In case of patients with deficiency of the kidney, dizziness, tinnitus, and amnesia, we can make use of NO.3, BWV 1068, Air of J.S.Bach and Jinyangjo of Geomungo. If there are flaring-up and fidgetiness due to deficiency of vital essence, Earth-Gi music that can help the vigor of spleen and stomach should be used prior to Water-Gi music. In the concrete, Hahyeondodeuri of Yeongsanhoesang played on Geomungo can be used. The tinnitus is caused by wind-heat and fire in the gallbladder. It is good to nourish the Eum through Water-Gi music after dispelling pathogens through Jajinmori among Gayageum sanjo.

Objectives: The posthysterectomy syndrome is sequela which occurred after hysterectomy. Even though hysterectomy is one of common surgery in gynecologic operation, the complications of surgery easily occurred. The purpose of this study is to report the effect of traditional Korean medicine on posthysterectomy syndrome, especially anemia. Methods: The patient having treated with hospital management, from January 19th in 2018 until Feburary 8th in 2018, participated. Her chief complaint was dizziness which occurred after hysterectomy. We diagnosed her as anemia based on symptoms and blood test result. We treated the patient with herbal medicine, moxibustion and iron pills. The efficacy of treatment was evaluated with visual analogue scale (VAS) and complete blood cell count. Results: During hospitalization period, the symptoms including dizziness, fatigue, headache, neck pain, abdominal pain were reduced. After discharging, we identified that the level of hemoglobin was normalized. Conclusions: To recover from posthysterectomy syndrome, Korean medicine treatment is considered to be effective.

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.
