Nanos Treatment of Nystagmus
نویسنده
چکیده
The main purpose of eye movements is to stabilize images on the retina so they may be seen clearly and localized accurately. If images move on the retina at more than a few degrees per second, vision blurs and spatial orientation is impaired.'"' Patients w~h acquired nystagmus often experience decreased visual acu~y andoscillopsia. In this talk we will review various approaches to treating nystagmus.'

THE EFFECT OF ELECTROSTIMULATION ON CALORIC-INDUCED NYSTAGMUS: A PRELIMINARY STUDY
The objective of this study was to describe the role of electrical stimulation in controlling peripheral vertigo. In a prospective study on 13 healthy volunteers, nystagmus was induced with caloric stimulation and the interval of nystagmus disappearance was recorded. This time indicates the basal response of vestibular end-organ. After caloric irrigation, pulsed signal was applied for each...
متن کاملStudying the effect of vitamin d on the intensity of torsional nystagmus in Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) in Rohani hospital of Babol
Background: Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) is the most common cause of vertigo and nystagmus in clinics. Vertigo has many causes and the recurrence of vertigo is unknown. Among a lot of factors, vitamin D deficiency is more important. This study was conducted to determine the effect of vitamin D supplementation on torsional nystagmus in BPPV patients. This study wants to show the d...
متن کاملOskar allows nanos mRNA translation in Drosophila embryos by preventing its deadenylation by Smaug/CCR4.
Anteroposterior patterning of the Drosophila embryo depends on a gradient of Nanos protein arising from the posterior pole. This gradient results from both nanos mRNA translational repression in the bulk of the embryo and translational activation of nanos mRNA localized at the posterior pole. Two mechanisms of nanos translational repression have been described, at the initiation step and after ...
متن کاملDistinct modes of recruitment of the CCR4–NOT complex by Drosophila and vertebrate Nanos
Nanos proteins repress the expression of target mRNAs by recruiting effector complexes through non-conserved N-terminal regions. In vertebrates, Nanos proteins interact with the NOT1 subunit of the CCR4-NOT effector complex through a NOT1 interacting motif (NIM), which is absent in Nanos orthologs from several invertebrate species. Therefore, it has remained unclear whether the Nanos repressive...
متن کاملA conserved 90 nucleotide element mediates translational repression of nanos RNA.
Correct formation of the Drosophila body plan requires restriction of nanos activity to the posterior of the embryo. Spatial regulation of nanos is achieved by a combination of RNA localization and localization-dependent translation such that only posteriorly localized nanos RNA is translated. Cis-acting sequences that mediate both RNA localization and translational regulation lie within the na...
