![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Maybe I should focus on something else rather than music.’ My life would be so sad.” She tells Pitchfork:“I sing both now… I can’t imagine what my life would be like if I had been like, ‘You know what? Maybe this person is right. Rather than surrendering to the nay-sayer though, Lucid – now 19 and who has cited Kali Uchis and Chilean singer Mon Laferte as key influences – channelled the criticism and used it as ammunition. It’s a laughable sentiment now given Spanish language music’s current surge of overdue recognition in the Anglo-speaking world, but a very real dilemma that Latinx artists have long previously faced. It’s a story that continues to stick with her, when as an early teen, she was told that “no one’s going to pay attention to your music if you sing in Spanish” and that, conversely, attempting to sing in English “would be worse… because then people really wouldn’t pay attention.” ![]() This section also includes a commentary on Vertigo in Posterior Circulation Strokes which would be of great interest to neurologists and trainees.In a recent interview, American-Dominican-Mexican rising star Ambar Lucid recalled one of the first times that she was faced by a detractor to her music. Apart from the medical management of vertiginous disorders (including some detailing of drug pharmacology), detailed descriptions of canalith repositioning techniques for BPPV are provided. Section 3 mostly discusses Management Issues. In relation to the cases, many of the vestibular function tests performed on them are discussed in a lucid manner to make correlation of clinical history and function tests easily understandable. No very detailed referencing had been done considering the time constraint for busy medical practitioners and trainees, and only few major ones are listed at the end of each case/chapter for those interested in more detailed discourses. This section includes around 10 cases of posterior circulation strokes presenting with vertigo which have been discussed in way of clinico-anatomical and clinico-radiological correlation ? an essential part of training to be a neurologist. The final section is the discussion, embedded in which would lie the answers to all the questions raised, along with other relevant and up to date information on the subject discussed. This clinical note is followed by a series of questions which are likely to crop up in the minds of the readers after going through the case. Forty-six cases are discussed in a very interactive way with the case history and findings detailed first followed by the investigations performed and the results of therapy, when applicable. Section 1 deals with The Basics which include anatomical and physiological basis of maintenance of human balance, vestibular and cerebellar control of eye movements, classification of vestibular disorders, elicitation of proper history in patients presenting with vertigo and finally a step-wise physical examination and lastly a commentary on currently practiced vestibular function tests. The sole purpose of this book is to get more and more neurologists interested in the discipline of neuro-otology for proper management of patients with vertigo and balance disorders. ![]()
