4246 Specific losses of the chromatic PERG and VEP in early glaucoma
Pureose: In a lot of patients an objectivization of visual field defects is needed. The commonly used VEPs (pattern-reversal, pattern-onset/offset) are not helpful because of their considerable amplitude reduction outside the macula. In contrast the motion-onset VEPs that can be obtained beyond the central 40 " of the vtsual field without significant amplitude reduction (Kuba, M. and Kubova, 2....
متن کاملRE-PERG, a new procedure for electrophysiologic diagnosis of glaucoma that may improve PERG specificity
PURPOSE A significant variability of the second harmonic (2ndH) phase of steady-state pattern electroretinogram (SS-PERG) in intrasession retest has been recently described in glaucoma patients (GP), which has not been found in healthy subjects. To evaluate the reliability of phase variability in retest (a procedure called RE-PERG or REPERG) in the presence of cataract, which is known to affect...
متن کاملAlterations in skeletal muscle microcirculation of head-down tilted rats.
The head-down tilted whole body suspended (HDT/WBS) rat is recognized as a model that reproduces many of the responses seen during exposure to microgravity including an increase in systemic blood pressure. Functional alterations of microscopic blood vessels (arterioles) in skeletal muscle (cremaster muscle) were assessed for their role in the observed elevations of blood pressure associated wit...
متن کاملQuantitative evaluation of the optic nerve head in early glaucoma.
AIMS Progressive loss of neuroretinal rim tissue is known to occur early in glaucoma and measurement of the neuroretinal rim area is possible by magnification corrected analysis of optic disc photographs (planimetry). This study was performed to determine whether the facility to distinguish between glaucomatous and normal optic discs could be improved upon by: (a) taking into account the known ...
متن کاملHead posture and malocclusions.
The present study aimed to examine whether any pattern of associations could be found between the posture of the head and neck, and the occurrence of malocclusions. The sample comprised 96 children (45 M, 51 F) aged 7-13 years, sequentially admitted for orthodontic treatment of severe malocclusions. Malocclusions were diagnosed clinically and classified into occlusal, spacing, and dentitional a...
