METHODS A total of 68 patients aged 18-65 years, scheduled for posterior spinal fusion surgery, were included. Ophthalmic examinations were performed by an ophthalmologist on the day before surgery and repeated after the second postoperative day, w...

Visual impairment in children.

Refractory period, sensory conduction velocity and visual evoked potentials before and after haemodialysis.

In 18 patients suffering from chronic renal failure (being haemodialysed three times weekly for 22.2 +/- 27.9 months), sensory conduction velocity and relative refractory period of the sural nerve were estimated immediately before and after dialysis. Before haemodialysis all but one patient had conduction velocities within the normal range (x +/- 2 SD), but 50% had prolonged refractory periods....

At the beginning of my career the main causes of blindness were eye diseases and only a few professionals were specifically interested in the care of totally blind but otherwise normal children. Today a large number of specialists are involve...
