Objectives: This study was performed to evaluate characteristics and their prognostic value of video-head impulse test (vHIT) in sudden sensorineural hearing loss (SSNHL) with vertigo.Methods: Of the 612 patients a diagnosis SSNHL from 2010 2018, 110 (18.0%) vertigo 39 (6.4%) vHIT results were recruited. The evaluated for pure-tone average (at initial, 1-month, 6-month visit), presence re-fixat...

BACKGROUND Among coracoclavicular (CC) fixation techniques, the use of flip button device was demonstrated to have successful outcomes with the advantage of being able to accommodate an arthroscopic procedure. PURPOSE This study was conducted to investigate the factors associated with loss of fixation after arthroscopically assisted CC fixation using a single flip button device for acromiocla...

Existing literature reveals that during reading, gaze fixations within a word are not necessarily close to the optimal reading position. The optimal position for reading represents the gaze fixation near the center of each word for which recognition time is minimal. In our study, we examined the match between optimal position and initial fixation position, which has not been studied before. We ...

Skin and subcutaneous tissues are the origin of most common neoplasms affecting dogs, accounting for approximately one third of all tumors encountered in the species. Surgical excision is frequently the best chance for a cure; determining factors influencing the success of excision are vital for surgical management of cases. This work examined the shrinkage of skin of various lengths from three...

The ease with which printed words are recognized depends on the position at which the eyes initially fixate the word. In this study, we examined to what extent recognition performance for each fixation position depends on the average visibility of the word's constituent letters. Experiment 1 measured recognition performance to single letters embedded in strings of Xs (lengths of 5 and 7) for al...

As Chinese is written without orthographical word boundaries (i.e., spaces), it is unclear whether saccade targets are selected on the basis of characters or words and whether saccades are aimed at the beginning or the centre of words. Here, we report an experiment where 30 Chinese readers read 150 sentences while their eye movements were monitored. They exhibited a strong tendency to fixate at...

We reviewed 13 patients with infected nonunion of the distal femur and bone loss, who had been treated by radical surgical debridement and the application of an Ilizarov external fixator. All had severely restricted movement of the knee and a mean of 3.1 previous operations. The mean length of the bony defect was 8.3 cm and no patient was able to bear weight. The mean external fixation time was...

After an initial period of unsuccessful work at solving a problem, a subject might either continue to work uninterruptedly or put the problem temporarily aside, returning to it later. The elusive laboratory phenomenon called "incubation" refers to superior performance for those subjects who return to the problem after a delay rather than working continuously on the problem. The forgetting-fixat...

Remote associates problems (RAP) have been widely used to measure creative processes. However, studies have rarely explored the RAP processes. The main purpose of this study was to record eye movements while solving RAP. The results show that: (1) The mean fixation duration increases throughout the problem-solving process, which indicates that more problem solvers encounter impasses. This resul...

Background Reverse total shoulder arthroplasty is an increasingly utilized treatment option for glenohumeral arthritis with massive, irreparable rotator cuff disruption associated with loss of glenohumeral stability and function. Several reverse shoulder implant designs from different manufacturers have been introduced to the market in recent years. Fixation of the glenoid base plate has been s...
