The reason behind the association of nystagmus to Dix-Hallpike maneuver.

Introduction:

The involuntary repetitive eye movement acquired during infancy or during the lifespan which causes limited or reduced vision is called nystagmus. The standard for detecting the benign positional paroxysmal vertigo due to posterior canal otolith is called Dix-Hallpike maneuver.

PCBs and River Otters: Otters in Washington State’s Green-Duwamish River have high levels of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in their livers. PCBs can bind to the estrogen receptors in animals and disrupt the endocrine system of these otters. The PCBs seem to increase the estrogen to androgen ratio, skewing the ratio toward too much estrogen.     How would increased estrogen affect the river otter population? Based on your reading of the materials in this unit, what factors can affect fertility in humans?   Explain how each of the factors affecting human fertility that you described can disrupt the human endocrine system to affect reproduction.
Other than oil and alcohol, are there other liquids you could compare to water (that are liquid at room temperature)? How is water unique compared to these other liquids? What follow-up experiment would you like to do, and how would you relate it to your life?
