Tunnel Vision Presenting as Reading Disability

The “sight Reading” Method of Teaching Reading, as a Source of Reading Disability

I feel some trepidation in offering criticism in a field somewhat outside of that of my own endeavor but a very considerable part of my attention for the past four years has been given to the study of reading disability from the standpoint of cerebral physiology. This work has now extended over a comparatively large series of cases from many different schools and both the theory which has direc...

Neurobiological studies of reading and reading disability.

UNLABELLED Evidence from neuroimaging studies, including our own, suggest that skilled word identification in reading is related to the functional integrity of two consolidated left hemisphere (LH) posterior systems: a dorsal (temporo-parietal) circuit and a ventral (occipito-temporal) circuit. This posterior system appears to be functionally disrupted in developmental dyslexia. Relative to non...

Protein Translocation: Tunnel Vision

yslexia ( Specific Reading Disability )

onverging evidence from a number of lines of investigation indicates that dyslexia represents a disorder within the language system nd more specifically within a particular subcomponent of that system, phonological processing. Recent advances in imaging echnology, particularly the development of functional magnetic resonance imaging, provide evidence of a neurobiological signature or dyslexia, ...

Neglected lunate dislocation presenting as carpal tunnel syndrome

Most of carpal tunnel syndrome cases are idiopathic, and secondary causes are so rare that can be easily missed. We present a patient with neglected undiagnosed lunate dislocation compressing on median nerve causing its signs and symptoms.
