Optic Foramen Morphology and Activity Pattern in Birds

Patent foramen ovale morphology and stroke size

Division of Neurology, Department of Medicine, National University Hospital, 119074, Singapore Tel.: +65 6772 2597 Fax: +65 6872 3566 [email protected] Akhondi et al. have evaluated the relationship between patent foramen ovale (PFO) morphology and stroke volume [1]. Since there is no blood flow through the fetal lungs, the foramen ovale serves as an indispensable component that permits th...

Optic Flow Cues Guide Flight in Birds

Although considerable effort has been devoted to investigating how birds migrate over large distances, surprisingly little is known about how they tackle so successfully the moment-to-moment challenges of rapid flight through cluttered environments [1]. It has been suggested that birds detect and avoid obstacles [2] and control landing maneuvers [3-5] by using cues derived from the image motion...

Optic disc morphology and NAION.

Non-arteritic anterior ischaemic optic neuropathy (NAION) is a widespread visually disabling disease in the middleaged and elderly population. Based on clinical observations by Hayreh, Beck, Savino and others, a low cup/disc diameter ratio and a small optic disc have been described to be structural factors associated with the disease. The physiological correlation between disc size and cup/disc...
