Li Y, Li J, Wang P, Yu D, Chen Z, Shi Z, Wu Y, Qi W, Lu W, Shi H. Electroencephalography microstate alterations reflect potential double-edged cognitive adaptation in Ménière's disease. CNS Neurosci Ther 2024; 30:e14896. [PMID: 39107944 PMCID: PMC11303265 DOI: 10.1111/cns.14896] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/18/2024] [Revised: 07/11/2024] [Accepted: 07/19/2024] [Indexed: 08/10/2024] Open
Abstract
PURPOSE To explore the microstate characteristics and underlying brain network activity of Ménière's disease (MD) patients based on high-density electroencephalography (EEG), elucidate the association between microstate dynamics and clinical manifestation, and explore the potential of EEG microstate features as future neurobiomarkers for MD. METHODS Thirty-two patients diagnosed with MD and 29 healthy controls (HC) matched for demographic characteristics were included in the study. Dysfunction and subjective symptom severity were assessed by neuropsychological questionnaires, pure tone audiometry, and vestibular function tests. Resting-state EEG recordings were obtained using a 256-channel EEG system, and the electric field topographies were clustered into four dominant microstate classes (A, B, C, and D). The dynamic parameters of each microstate were analyzed and utilized as input for a support vector machine (SVM) classifier to identify significant microstate signatures associated with MD. The clinical significance was further explored through Spearman correlation analysis. RESULTS MD patients exhibited an increased presence of microstate class C and a decreased frequency of transitions between microstate class A and B, as well as between class A and D. The transitions from microstate class A to C were also elevated. Further analysis revealed a positive correlation between equilibrium scores and the transitions from microstate class A to C under somatosensory challenging conditions. Conversely, transitions between class A and B were negatively correlated with vertigo symptoms. No significant correlations were detected between these characteristics and auditory test results or emotional scores. Utilizing the microstate features identified via sequential backward selection, the linear SVM classifier achieved a sensitivity of 86.21% and a specificity of 90.61% in distinguishing MD patients from HC. CONCLUSIONS We identified several EEG microstate characteristics in MD patients that facilitate postural control yet exacerbate subjective symptoms, and effectively discriminate MD from HC. The microstate features may offer a new approach for optimizing cognitive compensation strategies and exploring potential neurobiological markers in MD.

Abstract
Objective Evaluate the quality of responses from Chat Generative Pre-Trained Transformer (ChatGPT) models compared to the answers for "Frequently Asked Questions" (FAQs) from the American Academy of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery (AAO-HNS) Clinical Practice Guidelines (CPG) for Ménière's disease (MD). Study Design Comparative analysis. Setting The AAO-HNS CPG for MD includes FAQs that clinicians can give to patients for MD-related questions. The ability of ChatGPT to properly educate patients regarding MD is unknown. Methods ChatGPT-3.5 and 4.0 were each prompted with 16 questions from the MD FAQs. Each response was rated in terms of (1) comprehensiveness, (2) extensiveness, (3) presence of misleading information, and (4) quality of resources. Readability was assessed using Flesch-Kincaid Grade Level (FKGL) and Flesch Reading Ease Score (FRES). Results ChatGPT-3.5 was comprehensive in 5 responses whereas ChatGPT-4.0 was comprehensive in 9 (31.3% vs 56.3%, P = .2852). ChatGPT-3.5 and 4.0 were extensive in all responses (P = 1.0000). ChatGPT-3.5 was misleading in 5 responses whereas ChatGPT-4.0 was misleading in 3 (31.3% vs 18.75%, P = .6851). ChatGPT-3.5 had quality resources in 10 responses whereas ChatGPT-4.0 had quality resources in 16 (62.5% vs 100%, P = .0177). AAO-HNS CPG FRES (62.4 ± 16.6) demonstrated an appropriate readability score of at least 60, while both ChatGPT-3.5 (39.1 ± 7.3) and 4.0 (42.8 ± 8.5) failed to meet this standard. All platforms had FKGL means that exceeded the recommended level of 6 or lower. Conclusion While ChatGPT-4.0 had significantly better resource reporting, both models have room for improvement in being more comprehensive, more readable, and less misleading for patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the relationship between vestibular aqueduct (VA) morphology and Meniere's disease (MD) using ultrahigh-resolution computed tomography (U-HRCT). METHODS Retrospective data were collected from 34 patients (40 ears) diagnosed with MD in our hospital who underwent temporal bone U-HRCT with isotropic 0.05-mm resolution, magnetic resonance with gadolinium-enhanced, and pure-tone audiometry; 34 age- and sex-matched controls (68 ears) who underwent U-HRCT were also included. VA patency was qualitatively classified as locally not shown (grade 1), locally faintly shown (grade 2), or clearly shown throughout (grade 3). The width of the outer orifice and VA length and angle were quantitatively measured. Differences in VA morphology between the MD and control groups were analyzed. The correlations between VA morphology and the degrees of hearing loss and endolymphatic hydrops (EH) were also analyzed. RESULTS VA was classified as grades 1-3 in 11, 17, and 12 ears in the MD group and 5, 26, and 37 ears in the control group, respectively. The patency differed significantly between the groups (p < 0.01). The width of the outer orifice and length of VA were significantly smaller in the MD group than those in the control group (p < 0.05). Both VA patency and length were correlated with the degree of EH in the cochlea and the vestibule (p < 0.05). No difference was found between VA morphology and the degree of hearing loss (p > 0.05). CONCLUSION The morphological characteristics of VA were found to be associated with the occurrence of MD and the degree of EH. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE 4 Laryngoscope, 134:3349-3354, 2024.

Late/delayed gadolinium enhancement in MRI after intravenous administration of extracellular gadolinium-based contrast agents: is it worth waiting? MAGMA (NEW YORK, N.Y.) 2024; 37:151-168. [PMID: 38386150 DOI: 10.1007/s10334-024-01151-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/22/2023] [Revised: 01/17/2024] [Accepted: 01/30/2024] [Indexed: 02/23/2024]
Abstract
The acquisition of images minutes or even hours after intravenous extracellular gadolinium-based contrast agents (GBCA) administration ("Late/Delayed Gadolinium Enhancement" imaging; in this review, further termed LGE) has gained significant prominence in recent years in magnetic resonance imaging. The major limitation of LGE is the long examination time; thus, it becomes necessary to understand when it is worth waiting time after the intravenous injection of GBCA and which additional information comes from LGE. LGE can potentially be applied to various anatomical sites, such as heart, arterial vessels, lung, brain, abdomen, breast, and the musculoskeletal system, with different pathophysiological mechanisms. One of the most popular clinical applications of LGE regards the assessment of myocardial tissue thanks to its ability to highlight areas of acute myocardial damage and fibrotic tissues. Other frequently applied clinical contexts involve the study of the urinary tract with magnetic resonance urography and identifying pathological abdominal processes characterized by high fibrous stroma, such as biliary tract tumors, autoimmune pancreatitis, or intestinal fibrosis in Crohn's disease. One of the current areas of heightened research interest revolves around the possibility of non-invasively studying the dynamics of neurofluids in the brain (the glymphatic system), the disruption of which could underlie many neurological disorders.

Abstract
Objectives This study aimed to explore and visualize the relationships among multiple symptoms in patients with Meniere's disease (MD) and aid clinical nurses in the design of accurate, individualized interventions. Methods This study included 790 patients with MD at the Eye and ENT Hospital of Fudan University from October 2014 to December 2021. A self-designed symptom checklist was used to assess 15 MD-related symptoms and construct contemporaneous networks with all 15 symptoms in R software. Qgraph package and Fruchterman-Reingold layout were used for network visualization. Bootstrapping methods were performed to assess network accuracy and stability, and three centrality indices were adopted to describe relationships among symptoms. Results Symptom networks showed good accuracy and stability. "Anxiety and nervousness"(98.2%), "aural fullness"(84.4%) and "tinnitus"(82.7%) were the common symptom in MD patients, while "tinnitus", "aural fullness" and "decline in word recognition", were more serious. MD patients with longer disease duration had higher prevalence and severity for all symptoms (P < 0.05). Symptom networks showed good accuracy and stability. "Decline in word recognition," "fatigue," and "anxiety and nervousness" were at the center of the symptom networks, which had the largest strength values and closeness. "Decline in word recognition," "headache," and "spatial discrimination and poor orientation" were the symptoms with the highest betweenness with the strongest bridging effect. The ≥1-year disease group exhibited higher centralities for "drop attack" and "anxiety and nervousness," and a lower centrality for "headache" compared with the <1-year disease group. Conclusions The symptom networks of MD patients with varying disease durations were revealed. Clinicians and nurses must provide precision interventions tailored to modifying symptom severity and centrality. Nursing interventions should focus on word recognition issues and associated discomfort in MD patients with multiple symptoms.

Abstract
The recurrence of Meniere disease (MD) strongly affects patient quality of life. Identifying the risk factors for MD is highly important for its prevention and treatment. Previous studies have suggested that alcohol intake may play a role in the development of MD. However, recent studies have shown that the causal relationship between alcohol consumption and MD remains controversial. In this paper, the Mendelian randomization (MR) method was used to determine the causal relationship between alcohol consumption usually consumed with meals and MD, with the aim of providing suggestions for alcohol intake management in individuals with MD and helping in the prevention and treatment of MD. Two-sample MR was used to investigate the causal relationship between alcohol usually taken with meals and MD. We used a dataset from a publicly available large-scale genome-wide association study (GWAS). Inverse variance weighting (IVW), MR-Egger, simple weighting, weighted weighting and the weighted median method were used for analysis. The final results showed that IVW (OR = 0.991, 95% CI: 0.983-0.998, P = .016) results suggested that there was statistical significance, but MR-Egger (OR = 0.978, 95% CI: 0.886-1.080, P = .679), weighted median methods (OR = 0.994, 95% CI: 0.985-1.004, P = .307) and Simple mode (OR = 0.995, 95% CI: 0.980-1.010, P = .566), Weighted mode (OR = 0.995, 95% CI: 0.981-1.010, P = .557) found no significant causal relationship. The results suggest that alcohol usually taken with meals may be negatively correlated with MD.

Abstract
Meniere's disease (MD) is a severe inner ear condition known by debilitating symptoms, including spontaneous vertigo, fluctuating and progressive hearing loss, tinnitus, and aural fullness or pressure within the affected ear. Prosper Meniere first described the origins of MD in the 1860s, but its underlying mechanisms remain largely elusive today. Nevertheless, researchers have identified a key histopathological feature called Endolymphatic Hydrops (ELH), which refers to the excessive buildup of endolymph fluid in the membranous labyrinth of the inner ear. The exact root of ELH is not fully understood. Still, it is believed to involve several biological and bioenvironmental etiological factors such as genetics, autoimmunity, infection, trauma, allergy, and new theories, such as saccular otoconia blocking the endolymphatic duct and sac. Regarding treatment, there are no reliable and definitive cures for MD. Most therapies focus on managing symptoms and improving the overall quality of patients' life. To make significant advancements in addressing MD, it is crucial to gain a fundamental understanding of the disease process, laying the groundwork for more effective therapeutic approaches. This paper provides a comprehensive review of the pathophysiology of MD with a focus on old and recent theories. Current treatment strategies and future translational approaches (with low-level evidence but promising results) related to MD are also discussed, including patents, drug delivery, and nanotechnology, that may provide future benefits to patients suffering from MD.

Abstract
Objectives This study aimed to investigate the effect of vascular risk factors on the outcomes of endolymphatic sac decompression (ESD) surgery in patients with Meniere's disease. Methods The study included 56 patients with Meniere's disease, who had undergone unilateral ESD surgery. The patients' vascular risk factors were assessed based on the preoperative 10-year atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases risk classification. Those with no or low risk were defined as the low-risk group, while those with medium, high, or very high risk were defined as the high-risk group. The correlation between the vascular risk factors and ESD efficacy was evaluated by the comparison of vertigo control grade between the two groups. The functional disability score was also assessed to investigate whether ESD improved the quality of life in Meniere's disease patients with vascular risk factors. Results After ESD, 78.95 and 81.08% of patients from the low-risk and high-risk groups, respectively, demonstrated at least grade B vertigo control; no statistically significant difference was observed (p = 0.96). The postoperative functional disability scores in both groups were significantly lower compared with those before surgery (p < 0.01), with a median decrease of two (1, 2) points in both groups. No statistically significant difference between the two groups was observed (p = 0.65). Conclusion Vascular risk factors have little effect on the efficacy of ESD in patients with Meniere's disease. Patients with one or more vascular risk factors can still experience a not poor vertigo control and improved quality of life after ESD.

Medicine (Baltimore) 2023; 102:e33156. [PMID: 36897693 PMCID: PMC9997775 DOI: 10.1097/md.0000000000033156] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/02/2022] [Accepted: 02/10/2023] [Indexed: 03/11/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Meniere's disease (MD) is a clinical condition characterized by endolymphatic hydrops. Persistent symptoms negatively affect patients mood, and the underlying etiology remains unclear. It is necessary to comprehensively understand the relevant publications, review the history and current status of research, and analyze hotspots and frontiers of research on MD. METHODS We retrieved literature on Meniere's disease from 2003 to 2022 from the Web of Science database and extracted the data. Data visualization and analysis was conducted using Cite Space, VOS viewer, an online web tool, and Microsoft Office Power Point 2019. RESULTS In total, 2847 publications were analyzed. The number of annual publications was relatively stable, with an accelerated upward trend over the past 5 years. The country with the most publications was USA (751, 26.38%), while the University of Munich contributed more publications than any other institution (117, 4.11%). The article titled "Diagnostic criteria for Meniere's disease" by Lopez-Escamez J et al in 2015 was the most cited and co-cited publication, and also had the top co-cited references with the strongest citation bursts. Naganawa S was the author with the most publications (85, 2.99%). The top 3 journals and co-cited journals were Otology Neurotology, Acta Oto Laryngologica, and Laryngoscope. Recently, the key theme words were "sensorineural hearing loss," "therapy," "intratympanic injection method," "vestibular-evoked myogenic potentials," "vestibular migraine," "magnetic resonance imaging," and "meniere's disease." CONCLUSIONS The US has the largest number of publications and research institutions, many European countries have high-quality journals, and Japan has the highest number of scholars. The international opinion on Meniere's disease is relatively uniform. The stepped-therapy for MD is scientific and clear. Intratympanic injection of steroids and intratympanic injection of gentamicin are commonly used, but steroids are considered safer. Saccular dysfunction may be more common in patients with MD than in those with utricular dysfunctions. It is worth paying attention to study the relationship between MD and vestibular migraine through headache. Progress in magnetic resonance imaging technology is still required for the imaging diagnosis of MD.

Abstract
A few prior researchers presumed the impacts of smoking and alcohol on the risk of Meniere’s disease (MD). This study investigated the relationship between smoking, alcohol consumption, and obesity with Meniere’s disease in an adult population. The ≥40-year-old population in the Korean National Health Insurance Service-Health Screening Cohort 2002−2019 was analyzed. A total of 15,208 patients with MD were matched with 499,658 comparison participants. The current smoking, alcohol consumption, and past medical histories were collected. Body mass index (BMI) was grouped into underweight, normal, overweight, obese I, and obese II. The odds of histories of smoking and alcohol consumption and the BMI group for MD were analyzed using conditional logistic regression analysis. These associations were further analyzed in subgroups of age, sex, smoking, alcohol consumption, and BMI. In the overall adult population, smoking and alcohol consumption did not show an association with MD. Being underweight was linked with lower odds for MD (adjusted OR [aOR] = 0.80, 95% CI = 0.68−0.93, p = 0.004). In the male group, smoking was positively associated with MD (aOR = 1.08, 95% CI = 1.00−1.17, p = 0.043), while alcohol consumption was negatively related to MD (aOR = 0.87, 95% CI = 0.81−0.94, p < 0.001). Being underweight was related to a lower risk of MD. In adult men, smoking was predicted to increase, while alcohol consumption was predicted to decrease the risk of MD.
