Evaluating the efficacy of vestibular rehabilitation therapy on quality of life in persistent postural-perceptual dizziness: the role of anxiety and depression in treatment outcome... by Khalid A. Alahmari, Sarah Alshehri

“…Age was also found to correlate with increased dizziness severity (p &lt; 0.001), although this was not as strong as the correlation of symptom duration (longer duration correlating with increased dizziness severity; p &lt; 0.01), anxiety (r = −0.45, p = 0.002) and depression (r = −0.51, p &lt; 0.001) (both significantly associated with poorer outcomes especially with reference to VRT) emerging as independent correlates of reduced effectiveness of treatment.ConclusionsThis study revealed the benefit of VRT in patients with PPPD on QoL and indicates the importance of identifying and treating psychological factors to improve the success of treatment for PPPD.…”

16S rRNA sequencing-based evaluation of the protective effects of key gut microbiota on inhaled allergen-induced allergic rhinitis by Yi Tang, Yongchuan She, Danping Chen, Yibo Zhou, Dan Xie, Zhai Liu

“…The LASSO regression model identified 8 key genera, including Prevotellaceae UCG-004 and Rhodococcus, which exhibited AUC values exceeding 0.7, indicating strong diagnostic potential. Furthermore, functional pathway analysis suggested that these pivotal species are involved in pathways such as L-lysine biosynthesis and photorespiration, potentially contributing to the pathogenesis of AR.DiscussionThis study identifies critical gut microbiota that could serve as potential biomarkers for allergic rhinitis, providing new insights into its pathogenesis and offering avenues for future therapeutic strategies. …”
