A test used to diagnose benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) that consists of a series of head, neck, and body movements that reproduce the vertigo sensation. 3, record 1, English, - Dix%2DHallpike%20manoeuver
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 CONT
The Dix-Hallpike test is typically performed in a doctor's office. The doctor will ask you to sit upright on an exam table with your legs stretched out in front of you and your head turned to one side. They will then ask you to lower your head and torso back so that you end up lying with your head stretched off the edge of the exam table, turned with one ear down at a 45-degree angle. If there are misplaced calcium deposits(also called canaliths) in the posterior canal of your inner ear, this will trigger vertigo symptoms. 4, record 1, English, - Dix%2DHallpike%20manoeuver

Benign positional paroxysmal vertigo (BPPV) is one of the most common causes of vertigo. The Dix-Hallpike maneuver is the gold standard test used to diagnose BPPV, which is crucial in confirming posterior canal BPPV. 5, record 1, English, - Dix%2DHallpike%20manoeuver

La planche abdominale est un exercice efficace et facile à faire chez soi. Pour ce faire, il suffit de placer une grande serviette au sol et de se coucher à plat ventre. Placez-vous de façon semblable à une pompe, c'est-à-dire, les jambes droites, les pieds légèrement écartés, et appuyez-vous sur vos avant-bras plutôt que sur vos mains. Gardez cette position le plus longtemps possible, au moins 15 à 20 secondes, et répétez trois fois. Cet exercice raffermit les muscles qui supportent la colonne et les organes internes, soit les abdominaux, les obliques, les transversaux et les lombaires. 4, record 2, French, - planche%20abdominale

There's an old-fashioned position called "Walcher's Position" that was supposed to widen the pelvic inlet and allow borderline CPD [cephalopelvic] babies to engage. The idea was to get the mom lying on her back with her hips brought forward to the edge and her legs supported but almost dangling. Apparently this creates a significant arch in the back and changes various pelvic diameters, sometimes for the better. 1, record 4, English, - Walcher%27s%20position

... Garnier invented a rotatory extraction apparatus.... Rotary extractor, Garnier type. The latest model consists of a heavily tinned iron drum rotating around a horizontal axle. Four perforated metal partitions, rectangularly and horizontally arranged around the central axle, divide the interior into four compartments into which the flowers are charged through four manholes. While the whole system rotates slowly, the flower material moves, tumbles and dips into the solvent lying on the bottom of the extractor. The liquid seeps through the perforations and drips back to the bottom when one compartment is lifted out of the solvent in the continuous movement of the whole drum. 1, record 13, English, - rotatory%20extraction%20apparatus
