INTRODUCTION Pseudostrabismus is a common diagnosis in a busy pediatric ophthalmology practice. This purpose of this study was to determine the prevalence of true strabismus in patients previously diagnosed with pseudostrabismus, to determine risk factors, and to examine the sensory outcome. METHODS This is a retrospective review of patients diagnosed with pseudo-strabismus and with at least ...

Dissociated strabismus complex (DSC) includes dissociated horizontal, vertical, torsional deviation, latent nystagmus and sub-normal binocularity [1]. It is usually bilateral but asymmetric; may manifest spontaneously or with cover testing. As clinical manifestation, DSC is a comitant drift of both eyes: the fixating eye manifests depression, adduction and intorsion and the nonfixating eye mani...

Stable renal transplant recipients manifest a chronic hypercoagulable state with an increased risk of thromboembolic complications, which appears to be multifactorial. While this group of patients could present the known risk factors for thromboembolism in the general population (e.g. diabetes, cancer, pregnancy), they may also suffer from other situations which are mostly related to transplant...

Emergence is a key element in the research of multi-agent systems. Emergent properties provide higher level features to a system formed of simpler individuals. So far, emergence has been studied mostly through systems formed of reactive agents – that are easier to design and implement. As computational power increases and even small devices become more capable, cognitive agents become a promisi...
