Brief, factual summary in Slovak: A study in the journal Nature compared the effect of blood pressure correction (≤ 130/80 mmHg) on the risk of developing dementia and mild cognitive deficit. The results showed a reduction in the risk of developing dementia by approximately 15%. Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) is the most common form of vertigo, but also the most neglected, especially in the elderly. BPPV is caused by the release of otoconia in the inner ear, most often in the posterior canal (60-90%) or in the lateral canal (5-30%). Patients with BPPV often complain of continuous dizziness, so it is important to ask specifically about the change in position that causes the dizziness. The Dix-Hallpik test is crucial for the diagnosis of BPPV, but is often neglected. The Epley maneuver is an effective treatment for BPPV that physicians should be able to perform correctly and repeat as needed.
