From conception to childbirth, there are many physical, hormonal, and psychological changes that a woman undergoes during pregnancy. During this time, balance is also affected, resulting in symptoms like vertigo and unsteadiness. These symptoms can lead to physical impairment and disability and can develop at any time. Vertigo in pregnancy has not been extensively written about. The subject of a narrative review is vertigo in pregnant patients. In pregnant women, hormonal alterations in the peripheral tissues and inner ear organs may contribute to vertigo. Meniere's disease, mild convulsive positional dizziness, and oculomotor migraines are all commonly exacerbated by pregnancy. Between the second and third trimesters of pregnancy, specific modifications to proprioception and hearing are also detected during physical examination. Patients who are pregnant typically experience these symptoms throughout this time. Some vertigo conditions can worsen during pregnancy, while others can appear at any time. Understanding audiovestibular symptoms' pathological and clinical relationship during pregnancy requires more study.
Background: Nasal obstruction, snoring, mouth breathing, ear ache is some of the most common problems encountered in pediatric otorhinolaryngological practice. The most common cause for the above symptoms is adenoid hypertrophy. Methods: Patients with age group of 4-16 years with symptoms of adenoid hypertrophy such as snoring, mouth breathing, ear ache and adenoid hypertrophy confirmed by Diagnostic Nasal Endoscopy and Radiological Investigations were included. Previous H/o surgery for adenoidectomy, bleeding disorders, cases with cleft palate or previous H/o cleft palate repair neuromuscular / craniofacial anomalies were excluded. Results: 3.10 mean grade was seen among study participants, with 39% of children having Grade 4 adenoids, 35% having Grade 3 adenoids, and 26% having Grade 2 adenoids. Snoring, nasal obstruction, and breathing scores all decreased statistically significantly. Conclusions: A microdebrider-assisted adenoidectomy has shown to provide full clearance with only a minor increase in haemorrhage and process time.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
