A transient, decompensated vertical phoria in an individual with infantile nystagmus syndrome (INS) resulted in two images that oscillated vertically-a diplopic oscillopsia. Ocular motor studies during the vertical oscillopsia recreated by vertical prisms, led to the identification of a sub-clinical see-saw nystagmus (SSN), present under the prism-induced diplopic condition. Retrospective analy...

PURPOSE To evaluate the effect of deep lateral wall orbital decompression with intraconal fat debulking on strabismus in thyroid-related orbitopathy (TRO) patients using automated Hess screen (AHS). DESIGN Prospective nonrandomized clinical study. PARTICIPANTS Eleven TRO patients (19 surgeries) operated on at the Jules Stein Eye Institute from January, 2004, through December, 2004. METHOD...

Three monkeys performed a visually guided reach-touch task with and without laterally displacing prisms. The prisms offset the normally aligned gaze/reach and subsequent touch. Naive monkeys showed adaptation, such that on repeated prism trials the gaze-reach angle widened and touches hit nearer the target. On the first subsequent no-prism trial the monkeys exhibited an aftereffect, such that t...

Laser Doppler Velocimetry (LDV) has been employed to determine pseudo-turbulence characteristics of the flow field around bubble train forming in non-Newtonian caboxymethylcellulose (CMC) aqueous solution at low gas flow rate condition. The Reynolds stress and turbulent intensity of the liquid were investigated by means of Reynolds time-averaged method. The experimental results show that ax...

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) at high concentrations induce oxidative stress, an imbalanced redox state that is a prevalent cause of neurodegenerative disorders. This study aimed to investigate the protective effect Capsosiphon fulvescens (CF) extract on stress-induced impairment cognitive function in models diseases. CF was extracted with subcritical water and several solvents H2O2 (0.25 mM) o...

background and aims. there are many edentulous people with severely resorbed residual ridges and non-resilient lining mucosa that are unable to tolerate occlusal forces during functional and parafunctional movements. lining the tissue surface of dentures with a flexible material can theoretically distribute and absorb forces with cushioning effect. the aim of this study was to evaluate the effe...

common vetch ( vicia sativa l.) an annual forage, belonging to the fabaceae family is one of the highly cultivated forage legumes in iran. drought stress is a serious adverse factor that limits plant growth and productivity, inducing a range of physiological as well as biochemical responses in plants. it may also lead to generation of oxygen activated species which in turn result in cell destru...

background: bladder cancer (bc) is the most commonly diagnosed genitourinary cancer in iran, presented in both men and women. bc is a multifactorial trait resulting from the complex interaction between several genes and environmental factors. long stress-induced non-coding transcript 5 (lsinct5), a member of the long non-coding rnas, is abundantly expressed in high proliferative cells, as well ...

Recent study of [Sugita, Y. (1996) Global plasticity in adult visual cortex following reversal of visual input. Nature, 380, 523-526.] demonstrated that prism adaptation to reversed retinal input generates the transfer of neuronal activities in monkey V1 to the opposite visual cortex. This raises the question if perceptual learning on one side of the visual field can transfer to the other side....
