Does any (ideally UK) ED / A&E have a good protocol /clinical reasoning tool they use for differential dizziness diagnosis in the acute setting? Be good to know if any are already used and well implemented in practice. Thanks @acpivr

Great @NNUHResearch cafe today. I enjoyed talking about the NIHR Developing Research Leader: AHP secondment I recently started and my clinical academic research journey so far...hoping I inspired some more AHPs @NNUHphysio @NNUH_SLT @NNUH_OT @AHPFacultyNW to join in too 😀

When most people think of health and care research they think about testing new drugs or vaccines. 💊 But not all research can involve all sorts of things - from completing a simple survey from the comfort of your home to testing the latest technologies like Virtual Reality (VR). Here’s a look at 4 studies you may not think are research: bepartofresearch.nihr.ac.uk/news-and-featu…

@MichaelOkun Really interesting @NNUHphysio

Do you know the 2025 update on vestibular dysfunction in Parkinson’s? Does dizziness plague you? New evidence highlights how the balance system (vestibular system) may play a bigger role in Parkinson’s than we thought. A systematic review was conducted on over 100 studies revealed that vestibular signs and symptoms were common, however too often overlooked in both diagnosis and care. Key Points: - Nearly 40% of folks w/ Parkinson’s showed vestibular dysfunction, including nystagmus, oculomotor changes, abnormal vestibular evoked potentials and postural control challenges. - Dizziness was the most frequently reported vestibular symptom and this was followed by vertigo and balance problems. - Six clinical tools were rated as recommended for evaluating vestibular issues in Parkinson’s. - These included the sensory organization test, DHI, ABC scale, BBS, TUG and MiniBESTest. My take: We get a ton of questions at the Parkinson's Foundation about vestibular dysfunction and dizziness. I was grateful to see this article appear in the literature. Here are 5 points that resonated w/ me from their work: 1- Vestibular dysfunction is common in Parkinson’s and may result in dizziness, imbalance or falls. 2- Not all dizziness in Parkinson’s comes from having a 'low blood pressure.' The vestibular system could be a hidden culprit. 3-Balance relies on vision, sensation and vestibular input. When vestibular function falters, falling becomes more likely. 4- Specialized tests can help uncover vestibular challenges, however awareness is the first step. 5-Addressing vestibular dysfunction will likely open new treatment and rehabilitation pathways for Parkinson’s. …mentdisorders.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/md… @ParkinsonDotOrg @FixelInstitute @SfNtweets @movedisorder @AANmember
