Bithermal caloric responses induced by 20, 50 and 240 ml water irrigations were compared in 11 1 healthy Japanese adults. Distribution mode of max. slow phase eye velocity (SPEV), duration and max. frequency showed normal pattern in the logarithmic scale but not in the regular scale. All three nystagmus parameters of 240 ml caloric test showed most linear distribution compared with two other caloric tests in the probit plots of logarithmic scale. When the mean, coefficient of variation and normal range (mean +2 SD) were compared between two modes of distribution, the most consistent difference was found in the range which was biased to the side of large number with little difference in the width of the range. When one standard deviation of CP-and DP-indexes were compared, these values were smallest in max. frequency, however, the best negative correlation between variation Acta Orolnryngol Sirppl. 393 Acta Otolaryngol Downloaded from informahealthcare.com by Mcgill University on 02/08/15 For personal use only.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
