A Tribute to John M. Epley
Message from the Guest Editors
Dr. Epley was an otosurgeon and a pioneer in the cultivation of knowledge of Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo—BPPV. Dr. Epley developed the theory of canalolithiasis and laid the foundation for the nystagmus-guided approach to BPPV. Indeed, without citing and referring to the works of Dr. Epley, no-one is able to publish about BPPV. The purpose of this Special Issue is to promote the publication of articles on BPPV and, more broadly, on positional vertigo and the pathophysiology of the semicircular canals, taking inspiration from and recalling the works of Dr. Epley. I invite colleagues and scientists of international repute to submit original contributions to this Special Issue, especially those who personally knew Doctor Epley. The topics include but not limited to the following:
BPPV diagnosis; BPPV therapy; BPPV and related problems in rehabilitation; Positional vertigo and positional nystagmus; Residual dizziness post-maneuver in BPPV and rehabilitation; Cupula pathophysiology; Light/heavy cupula; Vestibular rehabilitation; Vestibular rehabilitation training

John M. Epley医学博士を記念して記念集作成を応募します
Epley博士は耳科外科医であり、良性発作性頭位めまい症（BPPV）の知識を広めた先駆者でした。Epley博士は眼振観察を重要視、耳石症（canalolithiasis）の理論を構築し、BPPVに取り組む方法の基盤を築きました。実際、Epley博士の研究を語らずしてBPPVについて話すことはできません。この特集号の目的は、Epley博士の研究に触発され、彼の業績を思い起こしながら、BPPVに関する論文、さらには半規管の病態生理及び治療に関する論文の発表を促進することです。Epley博士を個人的に知る方々をはじめ、国際的に著名な仲間や科学者の皆様に、この特集号へのオリジナルの寄稿をお願いしたいと思います。
