BACKGROUND/AIM Pneumatic caisson engineering has been developed for large civil engineering constructions. Because of complaints of blurred vision by personnel working in pneumatic caissons, the development of myopia was suspected. The aim of this study was to determine the cause of the blurred vision and the mechanism underlying the changes. METHODS 12 caisson workers underwent a complete op...

A 29-year-old woman presented with blurred vision and distal paresthesias. Her initial evaluation revealed severe bilateral optic disc edema with distal lower-extremity sensory and motor deficits and electrodiagnostic evidence of a length-dependent mixed demyelinating and axonal polyneuropathy. The results of routine diagnostic testing, including laboratory tests, magnetic resonance imaging, an...

BACKGROUND AND IMPORTANCE This case highlights the fact that acute pituitary apoplexy may be misdiagnosed due to being confused with other entities exhibiting similar symptoms, such as meningitis or subarachnoid hemorrhage. CLINICAL PRESENTATION A patient in his late 30s presented with sudden and severe frontal headache, fever, blurred vision, nausea, confusion, as well as oculomotor palsy (C...

OBJECTIVES Gabapentin and pregabalin has been shown to reduce postoperative pain effectively. In this meta-analysis, we aimed to assess the role of preoperative gabapentinoids for attenuating postoperative pain after nasal surgery in patients via a meta-analysis of the literature. DATA SOURCES PubMed, Scopus, and Cochrane Database. METHODS Literature was screened from inception to December ...

This paper investigates the evolution of robot controllers utilising only visual environment input data, capable of performing a hard task, playing football, in the real world. The techniques of minimal simulation, where the robot controller is forced to ignore certain features through making those features unreliable, are used to construct a noisy simulated environment for a robot with an onbo...

A 41-year-old woman presented with a short history of blurred vision. She had a 6-year history of refractory hypertension which had been treated with a variety of drug regimens. She was found to have bilateral branch retinal vein occlusion. Retinal vein occlusion is a recognised complication of hypertension but simultaneous involvement of both eyes is extremely rare. Following this episode, blo...

A 53-year-old man with severe headache, blurred vision, and single generalized tonic-clonic seizure during hemodialysis presented to the emergency department (ED). On admission to the ED, the patient was in postictal state and measured at the following levels: blood pressure 203/113 mmHg, pulse rate 80/ min, respiratory rate of 17/min, body temperature of 36,5 °C, peripheral O2 saturation of 96...

purpose : to describe a case of acute angle-closure glaucoma associated with oral topiramate (topamax, aria daroo) therapy case report: two weeks after initiation of oral topiramate therapy for epilepsy, a 35-year-old woman presented with blurred vision and headache. intraocular pressure in both eyes was significantly elevated and her visual acuity was 20/30 ocular uterque (ou). bilateral conju...

Non strabismic binocular vision disorders are highly prevalent conditions. Patients report to eye care practitioners with symptoms of eyestrain, headaches, blurred vision etc. These conditions are generally missed out unless a complete orthoptic and binocular vision examination is performed. Treatment of these conditions is very successful with vision therapy, lenses and prisms. Successful trea...
