- Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (bppv): case report with epley manoeuverPublication . Silva, Ana Rita; Tomé, David; Olsen, Unn SiriBenign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) is a peripheral vestibular dysfunction which represents about 70% of vestibular pathology presented at ENT clinics. However, a variety of first treatment approaches are reported among clinicians. Case report: We present the case of a 39-year-old woman who presented vertigo which worsened with head movement to the left. The patient reported dizziness and migraine over the previous three days. Audiological testing revealed normal hearing, but under postural examination the Dix-Hallpike manoeuver was positive to BPPV of the left posterior canal. The patient was treated with a single Epley manoeuver. Conclusions: After the Epley manoeuver the patient had no further symptoms of vertigo or dizziness. The Dix-Hallpike manoeuver was effective as a differential diagnosis. The Epley manoeuver was successful in a case in which canalithiasis was believed to be the cause of the vertigo.

- Preschool language development program - Study protocolPublication . Sucena, Ana; Vale, Ana Paula; Silva, Ana Filipa; Silva, Ana Rita; Dias, BrunoOral language is an essential dimension in human development and a foundation of the success in learning to read. Ideally the identification of children at risk of having problems in reading and spelling acquisition should occur in preschool or early in the first year. This premise was the inspiration for the development of the language development program for preschoolers. The main objective is the promotion of language development, in aspects related to learning to read and, in this way, to promote school success through prevention and early intervention.
