چکیده

We describe four patients with episodic bilateral vision impairment related exclusively to light exposure. Each had angiographically documented bilateral high-grade stenosis or occlusion of the internal carotid arteries. This phenomenon appears to be related to bilateral simultaneous retinal ischemia delaying regeneration of visual pigments in the pigment epithelial layer. It must be distinguished from bilateral occipital lobe ischemia caused by vertebrobasilar system disease.

The effect of Bright light on Fatigue and sleepiness in night shift work nurses

Objective: In this study we assessed the effect of bright light emitted by light box on fatigue, and sleepiness in nurses. Methods: 44 healthy female shift work nurses were allocated into two groups of intervention and control. In the first stage, bright light was emitted to the nurses in the intervention group by the light box, and bright light was not emitted to the control group. In the nex...

Spatial soliton pairs in an unbiased photovoltaic-photorefractive crystal circuit

: Optical separate spatial dark and bright soliton pairs in steady-state case in one dimension, for a series circuit consisting of two-photon photorefractive (PR) crystal are investigated. Each crystal can be supported the spatial soliton, and at least one must be photovoltaic. The two solitons are known collectively as separate spatial soliton pairs with dark–dark, bright–dark and bright–brigh...

P 83: Progression of Hearing Loss in Experimental Meningitis

Hearing loss and meningitis were correlate in some aspects. Hearing loss is the situation that can be shown in cochlear or retrocochlear defects. Cochlear hearing loss is caused by inner or outer hair cell damage (however cochlear hearing loss has another causes, such as defect of arterial spiral ganglion, basilar and tectorial membrane) and retrocochlear hearing loss has neural origin and meni...

Effects of light and sound stimuli on spatial distribution and swimming activity of Daphnia under laboratory conditions

Aquatic ecosystems are heterogeneous in terms of light and sound distribution. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of environmental abiotic factors, light and sound stimuli, on Daphnia (Daphnia magna) swimming behaviour.  Here, we examined behavioural changes of Daphnia (N=24) in response to light and sound treatments simultaneously. The treatments concerned a 2×2 design with br...

Bilateral idiopathic optic perineuritis with severe vision loss: A case report

Optic perineuritis (OPN) is part of a larger group of orbital inflammatory disorders involving the optic nerve sheath that may occur in acute or subacute forms and can progress further to chronic disease[1]. While the majority of OPN cases are of unknown aetiology, it can also be due to certain infections such as tuberculosis[2] or syphilis[3], or as manifestation of a systemic inflammatory dis...
