ABSTRACT
Persistent postural-perceptual dizziness (PPPD) is a chronic and disabling disorder characterized by persistent dizziness, unsteadiness, and imbalance. It often arises without an identifiable cause and is exacerbated by upright posture, active or passive movement, and exposure to moving or complex visual stimuli. This complex pathophysiology and the psychological dimensions of its symptomatology pose a significant challenge to clinicians. PPPD presents diagnostic challenges and a lack of standardized treatment options, underscoring the need for multidisciplinary approaches encompassing pharmacotherapy, vestibular rehabilitation, and psychological interventions for effective management. Bridging the gaps in understanding PPPD requires collaborative efforts across disciplines, emphasizing integrated research approaches and patient support networks to enhance care and improve outcomes. This review explores the challenges, controversies, and clinical complexities of PPPD, highlighting the importance of a patient-centered approach.
ABSTRACT
El absceso hepático piógeno producido por klebsiella pneumoniae es relativamente raro y puede complicarse con lesiones sépticas a distancia. Esto se relaciona con características propias del germen que incluye el genotipo K1, resistencia a la fagocitosis y la presencia de gen mag-A. Tales metástasis sépticas contemplan absceso pulmonar, meningitis, endocarditis bacteriana y, muy especialmente, endoftalmitis. Esta última ocurre con mayor frecuencia en pacientes diabéticos, y puede causar ceguera. Se reporta caso de absceso hepático por K. pneumoniae asociado a absceso pulmonar y endoftalmitis, y se revisa epidemiología, fisiopatologia, diagnóstico y tratamiento de la entidad...
