The Epley maneuver or repositioning maneuver is a maneuver used by medical professionals to treat one common cause of vertigo, benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) [1] [needs update] of the posterior or anterior canals of the ear. [2]
The device is filled with fluid and a particle representing the otoconia (loose hard particles) associated with BPPV. The device works like a visual set of instructions and guides the user through the treatment maneuver for BPPV. This maneuver is called the particle repositioning maneuver or Epley maneuver.
A number of maneuvers have been found to be effective including Canalith Repositioning Procedures (CRP) such as the Epley maneuver, the Half Somersault Maneuver (HSM), the Semont maneuver, and to a lesser degree the non-CRP Brandt–Daroff exercises. [5] [28] Both the Epley and the Semont maneuvers are equally effective.
I added a link to the article on DizzyFIX. It is a researched device useful for patients (or doctors) who may not do well with the Epley Maneuver. It is therefore relevant to this article. (Note: this could use confirmation from someone with an appropriate medical background.) David Spector (talk) 19:09, 8 November 2011 (UTC)

Louisiana Districts 8 and 42 had only Republican candidates run in the special elections. Louisiana general margins do not include early or provisional votes, because those are not broken down by precinct, only Parish. Lousiana District 92 had a Democratic candidate, but he dropped out of the race, though his name was still on the ballot.
