This report concerns a clinico-pathological study of 60 patients afflicted with primary pontine hemorrhage. The illness was fatal in 43, 17 patients survived. Ophthalmic signs, autonomic disturbances and transient visual hallucination were observed and discussed. A ruptured microaneurysm within the border of a pontine hematoma was detected in this study, and in the first report of such a finding.

Certain visual disturbances make it difficult to read text and have been attributed to visual stress, also called "pattern-related visual stress". 12 Children with ASD, 12 children with Tourette's syndrome and without ASD and 12 controls, all matched on age and non verbal ability, participated in an experiment exploring sensory behaviours and visual stress. Reading rate and accuracy were assess...

Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada syndrome is an acquired illness with ocular, cutaneous, and/or neurologic features. A 4-year-old child who acutely developed visual disturbances and headache and was found to have serous retinal detachments and aseptic meningitis is presented. Improvement was rapid with corticosteroid therapy. This is the youngest reported patient with Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada syndrome.

A 46-year-old man presented with visual disturbances in both eyes. His best corrected visual acuity was 0.7 (both eyes). Ptosis and limitation of ocular movement in every direction were observed. Slit lamp examination showed a bilateral iridescent cataract. Fundus examination showed peripheral depigmentation of the retinal pigment epithelium and pigmentary clumping in both eyes that agreed with...

Our vision is more challenged than ever, and our educational methods continually require awareness to visual stimuli and visual information. Are we sure that our students really see what we expect them to see? Eighty-six children, 5 to 12 years of age, went through a vision-screening program looking into, among others; their visual acuity, attention in the visual field and eye movements in read...

OBJECTIVES To assess (1) whether visual disturbances can be demonstrated with objective measures more often in patients with mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) than in orthopaedic controls and non-injured controls, (2) whether such objectively demonstrated disturbances change over time and (3) whether self-reported visual symptoms after mTBI correlate with objectively measurable changes in visu...

This paper proposes the study of a robust control scheme for an Unmanned Surface Vehicle (USV) in urban waterway using Visual Odometry (VO) position estimation vehicle instead traditional sensors. For different applications, USV is required to operate autonomous navigation mode and under various disturbances inherent its environment as currents waves. To achieve efficient operation, cope with s...

BACKGROUND Numerous pathways can lead to erectile dysfunction (ED) in patients, with some patients having multiple causes. Regardless of the etiology, ED has been successfully treated in many patients with the advent of oral phosphodiesterase-5 inhibitors (PDE5Is). With the release of avanafil, there are currently four PDE5I options available, and choosing between them should be based on patien...

BACKGROUND Neurotoxicity is a recognized complication of cyclosporine A (CSA) treatment. The incidence of severe CSA-related neurological complications following hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is 4-11%. METHODS We describe 6 cases of CSA related neurotoxicity out of 67 matched related HSCT performed in paediatric Middle East patients affected by haemoglobinopaties (5 beta thal...
