Patients with unilateral neglect can misperceive horizontal distances in the contralesional space as being shorter than equivalent ipsilesional ones. We evaluated the visual and motor-proprioceptive components of space misrepresentation through a distance reproduction task performed both with and without visual guidance. Four groups of right brain damaged patients (neglect with hemianopia (N+H+...

PURPOSE Adaptation to eccentric viewing in subjects with a central scotoma remains poorly understood. The purpose of this study was to analyze the adaptation stages of oculomotor control to forced eccentric reading in normal subjects. METHODS Three normal adults (25.7 +/- 3.8 years of age) were trained to read full-page texts using a restricted 10 degrees x 7 degrees viewing window stabilized...

conclusions the most relevant finding was that hook pinning in pauwels type iii fracture may result in delayed :union: or non:union: due to significantly increased stress of a traction force at the fracture site that works to displace the fracture. however, in a pauwels type i fracture, increased compression stress contributes to stabilize it. surgeons are recommended not to treat pauwels type ...

Purpose. To objectively detect true posterior vitreous cortex (PVC) adhesion status using a commercially available swept-source OCT device (DRI OCT-1, Atlantis(©)). Material and Methods. Case report, review of the literature, and methodical discussion of concepts to improve OCT-guided PVC imaging. Results. Standard OCT imaging misdiagnosed PVC adhesion status as totally detached in this case re...

Trapezoid graphs are intersection graphs of trapezoids between two horizontal lines. They generalize both interval graphs and permutation graphs. Interval graphs are intersection graphs of intervals on the real line. Permutation graphs are intersection graphs of straight lines between two horizontal lines. They can be represented by a permutation diagram consisting of a pair of horizontal lines...

[Purpose] This study aimed to investigate the characteristics of upper quadrant posture of young women with temporomandibular disorders. [Subjects] The participants were 19 female patients with temporomandibular disorders (patient group: mean age, 30.1 years) and 14 controls (control group: mean age, 24.6 years). [Methods] Outcome measures were the neck inclination angle (formed by a line conne...
