A preliminary clinical study related to vestibular migraine and cognitive dysfunction by Tingting Sun, Yake Lin, Yanan Huang, Yonghui Pan

“…In VM-CogD patients presenting with moderate dizziness/vertigo, the DHI total score was negatively correlated with the ACE-R total score (r = 0.539, p-value = 0.008), the DHI-F score was negatively correlated with the language (r = 0.450, p-value = 0.031) and visuospatial functioning part (r = 0.415, p-value = 0.049) scores, and the HADS-D scores were negatively correlated with the ACE-R total score and the part of memory functioning score (r = 0.539, p-value = 0.008).Conclusion(1) VM Patients exhibit multifaceted vestibular dysfunction and varying degrees of cognitive dysfunction, and cognitive function is affected by age, duration of illness, years of education, and vestibular function; (2) VM is a functional disorder, and the function disturbance, in conjunction with anxiety and depression, may participate in the occurrence of development of cognitive dysfunction in VM.…”

Considering New Functions in Thermal Bath Buildings: The Singular Heating Water System from the Roman Spa of Termas de São Vicente (Penafiel, Portugal) by Silvia González Soutelo, Juan Diego Carmona Barrero, Teresa Soeiro, Inmaculada Donate Carretero, Clara Seara Erwelein

“…The archaeological research we carried out between 2020-2023 (pipa bal-saovicente) in the Roman Spa of Termas de São Vicente, in Penafiel, Portugal, in order obtain a better understanding of this archaeological site preserved in the park of the modern spa, provided us with the opportunity to study a singular water heating system, using a piece of bronze discovered in situ at the beginning of 20th century. In this article, we present the results of the research through the formal, analytical and functional study of this object and its archaeological context, which shed light on a new type of structure used in thermal buildings to heat and evaporate the mineral water used in these Roman mineral-medicinal bath complexes.…”
