Value of hyperventilation in pattern-reversal visual evoked potentials.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The effects of a standard 3 minutes' hyperventilation on the full-field pattern-reversal visual evoked potential (VEP) were studied in 33 normal subjects, 30 definite multiple sclerosis patients and in twenty-five patients with abnormal VEPs due to either tumourous compression of the anterior visual pathways or optic atrophy of other origin. Significantly greater reductions in P100 latency occurred in multiple sclerosis patients in comparison with controls (p less than 0.05). This change appeared to be specific for demyelinative type of lesion, for it was not found in cases with other types of pathology. Hyperventilation also increased the sensitivity of visual pathway impairment detection in multiple sclerosis.

The effects of hyperventilation on the pattern-reversal visual evoked potential (VEP) were studied in seven normal subjects and 13 multiple sclerosis patients with visual pathway involvement. Significantly greater reductions in P100 latency occurred in the multiple sclerosis patients than in controls and normalisation of the half-field response topography occurred in one patient after hypervent...
متن کاملAssessing the Effect of Opium Dependence on Visual Evoked Potential (VEP) in Men
Abstract Background: Opium-dependence having different effects on the nervous system is a common problem, especially in the Middle East and Iran. The aim of this study is evaluating the effects of opium-dependence on visual evoked potential (VEP) in men. Methods: Thirty subjects with both chronic cigarette smoking and opium-dependence (group 1) and 30 subjects with only chronic ciga...
متن کاملFeature Extraction of Visual Evoked Potentials Using Wavelet Transform and Singular Value Decomposition
Introduction: Brain visual evoked potential (VEP) signals are commonly known to be accompanied by high levels of background noise typically from the spontaneous background brain activity of electroencephalography (EEG) signals. Material and Methods: A model based on dyadic filter bank, discrete wavelet transform (DWT), and singular value decomposition (SVD) was developed to analyze the raw data...
متن کاملAbnormalitites of Visual Evoked Potential in Migraine Patients
Background: Visual evoked potential (VEP) is regarded as a useful, reliable and non-invasive technique for the diagnosis of lesions in the optic pathway. This technique was used to investigate visual function in migraine. Materials and Methods: 53 migraine patients (27 migraine cases with aura and 26 common migraine cases) and 55 controls were prospectively enrolled in this study. Visual ev...
متن کاملMachine learning based Visual Evoked Potential (VEP) Signals Recognition
Introduction: Visual evoked potentials contain certain diagnostic information which have proved to be of importance in the visual systems functional integrity. Due to substantial decrease of amplitude in extra macular stimulation in commonly used pattern VEPs, differentiating normal and abnormal signals can prove to be quite an obstacle. Due to developments of use of machine l...
