PURPOSE To investigate the rate of spontaneous resolution of strabismus in patients with cortical visual impairment (CVI) at a single center over a 10-year period and to evaluate the success rate of strabismus surgery. METHODS The medical records of patients with CVI and strabismus seen between October 2003 and October 2013 were reviewed retrospectively. Patients were classified into 4 outcom...

The modern aspects of pharmacotherapy of chronic venous insufficiency (CVI) of the lower extremities are presented in the article. Phlebotropic drugs are medications for basic pharmacotherapy of CVI. A common characteristic of pharmacodynamics of these drugs is the ability to increase the venous tone, and reduce severity of specific symptoms and syndromes of CVI. The efficiency of the most wide...

Natural variation for freezing tolerance is a major component of adaptation and geographic distribution of plant species. However, little is known about the genes and molecular mechanisms that determine its naturally occurring diversity. We have analyzed the intraspecific freezing tolerance variation existent between two geographically distant accessions of Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana), C...

Scale developers often provide evidence of content validity by computing a content validity index (CVI), using ratings of item relevance by content experts. We analyzed how nurse researchers have defined and calculated the CVI, and found considerable consistency for item-level CVIs (I-CVIs). However, there are two alternative, but unacknowledged, methods of computing the scale-level index (S-CV...

Intraindividual variation (CVi) for glycohemoglobin (GHb) was estimated from serial measurements in patients with diabetes in either stable or variable clinical control. GHb determinations were performed by an affinity column procedure with an analytical imprecision of 4.9% (weighted average; GHb 8.2-14.7%). Within the groups of patients, both a short- (28-32 days) and long-term (approximately ...

Cerebrovascular insult (CVI) is a known and important risk factor for the development of diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA); still, it seems that the prevalence of DKA among the patients suffering CVI and its influence on stroke outcome might be underestimated. Diabetic ketoacidosis itself has been reported to be a risk factor for the occurrence of stroke in children and youth. A cerebral hypoperfusio...

Objective To translate the English work-related acceptance and action questionnaire (WAAQ), make cross-cultural adaptations, and examine its psychometric properties when used by Chinese oncology nurses. Methods After translation, the psychometric properties of the Chinese WAAQ were analyzed among 417 nurses, and content validity was determined by six experts. Results Item-level content vali...

We have analyzed two Arabidopsis strains differing in the mean seed size and seed number they produced. The accession Cape Verde Islands (Cvi) yielded on average about 40% fewer seeds than the laboratory strain Landsberg erecta (Ler), but Cvi seeds were almost twice as heavy. Maternal and nonmaternal genetic factors were involved in the seed size variation, and interactions between both types o...

BACKGROUND Chikungunya is an endemo-epidemic infection, which is still considered as an emerging public health problem. The aim of this study was to evaluate in a 65+ population, the accuracy of two chikungunya screening scores that were developed in younger people. METHODS It was performed in the Martinique University Hospitals from retrospective cases. Patients were 65+, admitted to acute c...
