SUMMARY:Journal Club: Diagnosing Acute Dizziness - Beyond Stroke and Acute Unilateral Vestibulopathy (January 2026)
DESCRIPTION:Join Co-Founder Dr. Helena Esmonde PT\, DPT\, NCS and special guest Dr. Alexander A. Tarnutzer\, MD as they discuss Diagnosing Acute Dizziness – Beyond Stroke and Acute Unilateral Vestibulopathy and answer viewer-submitted questions about this topic. \nAlexander Tarnutzer graduated from medical school at the University of Basel\, Switzerland in 2003. In 2004 he took a position as a research fellow in the vestibulo-ocular motor laboratory of Prof. D. Straumann in Zurich\, Switzerland\, and started his neurology residency at the University Hospital Zurich. In 2009 he joined the Vestibular/Eye Movement Testing Laboratory (Prof. D.S. Zee) at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine in Baltimore\, USA as a postdoctoral research fellow for one year. He became a board-certified neurologist in 2012 and continued to work as a senior physician at the Zurich University Hospital and as a research fellow in Prof. Straumann’s laboratory.
