  • Invited Commentary: Confessions of a Former Virtual Interviewee
    February 6, 2023 | Margo A. Peyton, MD

     

    [You have been added to the meeting].

    As we near the end of the third neurology virtual recruitment season, we have gained another cohort of applicants acquainted with the idiosyncrasies of Zoom interviews. For interviewees, interviewers, and other (un)willing participants, I offer some commiseration and reflections to make another squared-in year a bit more collective.  

    When I logged onto my first virtual interview in 2021, everybody knew the drill. The well-worn finger pads of program coordinators carried us from gallery mode to breakout interview rooms without pause.

  • February 7 | e-Pearl | Persistent Postural Perceptual Dizziness (PPPD)

    e-Pearls archive | Video e-Pearls archive |Submit an e-Pearl

    Persistent postural perceptual dizziness (PPPD) refers to chronic, non-spinning vertigo and perceived dizziness with visual or motion hypersensitivity.1,2 Diagnostic criteria include the presence of these symptoms on most days for three months or more that increase with upright posture, active or passive movement, or exposure to moving or complex visual stimuli.2 PPPD is the most common chronic vestibular disorder in people aged 30-50 with 4:1 female predominance.1 Triggers include peripheral vestibular diseases, central vertigo, anxiety disorders, and autonomic dysfunction.1 Visual and somatosensory signals are stimulated as a physiological response to dizziness. These reactions cease when the trigger subsides, but a maladaptive cycle culminates in development of persistent vestibular symptoms in predisposed patients.2 Neurological examination, visual evoked potentials and vestibular testing are typically normal.1 Management includes cognitive behavioral therapy, vestibular reprogramming (visual/optokinetic motion desensitization, balance retraining), and medications such as venlafaxine or sertraline.2,3
