Human visual performance is better below than above fixation along the vertical meridian-a phenomenon we refer to as vertical meridian asymmetry (VMA). Here, we used fMRI to investigate the neural correlates of the VMA. We presented stimuli of two possible sizes and spatial frequencies on the horizontal and vertical meridians and analyzed the fMRI data in subregions of early visual cortex (V1/V...
In 1957, Armstrong, McMillan and Shaw demonstrated a metabolite of epinephrine (E) and norepinephrine (NE) in normal human urine (2, 3). This substance, 3-methoxy,4-hydroxymandelic acid (VMA, for vanillylmandelic acid), was excreted in abnormally large amounts in three patients with pheochromocytomas (3). Recent studies of sympathomimetic amine metabolism (Figure 1) (4-7) suggested that the uri...
OBJECTIVE To assess the association of the vitreomacular interface with outcomes of eyes treated with anti-vascular endothelial growth factor drugs for neovascular age-related macular degeneration (AMD). DESIGN Prospective cohort study within a multicenter, randomized clinical trial. PARTICIPANTS Patients enrolled in the Comparison of AMD Treatments Trials (CATT). METHODS Treatment was as...
Ocriplasmin is a protease which has been approved for the treatment of symptomatic vitreomacular adhesion (VMA). A 63-year-old presented with blurred vision in the left eye and a best corrected visual acuity of 6/18. Optical coherence tomography revealed VMA with an underlying macular hole and she subsequently underwent a left intravitreal ocriplasmin injection. One week after the injection, VM...
Urinary VMA levels were measured in relation to the reporting of morbidity in an attempt to determine whether altered catecholamine activity is related to specific disease syndromes, or is a general characteristic of morbidity. The cross-sectional data show elevated VMA levels to be associated with the reporting of chronic disease conditions; non-chronic conditions and affective disorders were ...
Four infants are described who presented with rapid enlargement of the liver. This was found to be due to neuroblastoma which had metastasized to the liver; the condition was associated with high levels of urinary vanillylmandelic acid (VMA). In 3 infants the primary tumour was in the adrenal gland and in one it was not identified. One infant died after laparotomy and 2 infants survive disease ...
The chemical laboratory measures used in the diagnosis of pheochromocytoma have been evaluated. Bio-assay, fluorometric, and spectrophotometric methods were used. Urinary VMA and catechol amine values found for normal and hypertensive groups compared well with those reported by other investigators. The quantitative measurement of urinary VMA by means of a proposed ethyl acetate extraction prove...
Urinary excretion of 4-hydroxy-3 methoxy mandelic acid (VMA) was used as an index of catecholamine activity in 59 cases of ulcerative colitis compared with 59 controls and 18 cases of diarrhoea of nervous origin. No significant differences were observed between cases and controls but the level of VMA excretion was raised in nervous diarrhoea.
Hypoxia has been regarded as one of the many factors stimulating augmented catecholamine biosynthesis (Vogt, 1960). Plasma levels of epinephrine and norepinephrine were found to be increased in newborns with the respiratory distress syndrome or placental insufficiency (Cheek, Malinek, and Fraillon, 1963). Infants with severe heart failure eliminate in the urine twice as much metanephrine, norme...
OBJECTIVE To investigate the effects of vitreomacular adhesion (VMA), vitreomacular separation (VMS) and absence of vitreous gel due to vitrectomy on macular thickness measured in the spectral domain optical coherence tomographic (SD-OCT) images. DESIGN A longitudinal, retrospective, observational study. SETTING Secondary multicentre study. PARTICIPANTS 218 eyes of 218 healthy patients an...
