While research has been done to ascertain the details of cause and prognosis of homonymous hemianopsia, an obvious disparity arose in the research on how to educate the supporting care team of a person with homonymous hemianopsia to maximize the creation of educational and rehabilitation plans. This research presents two studies focused on closing that gap by providing an alternative method of understanding. In the initial study 16 participants with a confirmed caregiver relationship to one or more persons with homonymous hemianopsia were surveyed on their personal knowledge of the visual impairment. These participants were asked to express any visual obstacles they have encountered, and to ascertain the availability of a device or program that could provide an interactive interpretation of how their homonymous hemianopsia patient views their surroundings. Survey results confirmed the need for a program that could easily simulate homonymous hemianopsia for the care provider. An additional usability study was completed by eight of the 16 previous participants on a mobile homonymous hemianopsia simulation application prototype. User tests showed that participants gained a significant increase in understanding of how those with a homonymous hemianopsia visual impairment view the environment.

  • Homonymous Hemianopsia
    Source: CLEVELAND CLINIC OHIO USA FACTSHEET Homonymous Hemianopsia Homonymous hemianopsia is a condition in which a person sees only one side - right or left of the visual world of each eye; results from a problem in brain function rather than a disorder of the eyes themselves. This can happen after a head or brain injury. What is homonymous hemianopsia? Homonymous hemianopsia is a condition in which a person sees only one side―right or left―of the visual world of each eye. The person may not be aware that the vision loss is happening in both eyes, not just one. Under normal circumstances, the left half of the brain processes visual information from both eyes about the right side of the world. The right side of the brain processes visual information from both eyes about the left side of the world. A visual world of someone with normal vision A visual world of someone with homonymous hemianopsia In homonymous hemianopsia, an injury to the left part of the brain results in the loss of the right half of the visual world of each eye. An injury to the right part of the brain produces loss of the left side of the visual world of each eye. This condition is created by a problem in brain function rather than a disorder of the eyes themselves. What causes homonymous hemianopsia? The most common cause of this type of vision loss is stroke. However, any disorder that affects the brain—including tumours, inflammation, and injuries--can be a cause. Source: CLEVELAND CLINIC OHIO USA It is estimated that 70% of the injuries leading to hemianopsias are due to an obstruction (blockage) of the blood supply (stroke).

We denominate the fluids’ pressure rises and their consequent migraines, signs, symptoms and sick- nesses as the Fluids Hypertension Syndromes. Migraines and headaches are not sicknesses: they are symptoms of the sicknesses. B – How many Fluids Hypertension Syndromes do exist? - Answer: There are three Fluids Hypertension Syndromes: 1- Ocular, due to raises of the intraocular Aqueous Humor pressure. 2- Cerebrospinal, due to raises of the intracranial Cerebrospinal Fluid pressure. 3- Inner Ears, due to raises of the inner ears' Perilymph and Endolymph pressures. Each patient can present one, two, or all the three Fluids Hypertension Syndromes in the same time.

  • Retinitis Pigmentosa Precision Panel Overview Indications Clinical
    Retinitis Pigmentosa Precision Panel Overview Retinitis Pigmentosa (RP) comprises a complex group of inherited dystrophies characterized by degeneration and dysfunction of the retina, affecting photoreceptor and pigment epithelial function. RP can be an isolated finding or be part of a syndrome that can be inherited in a dominant, recessive or X-linked pattern. This disease presents as progressive loss of night and peripheral vision, leading to a constricted visual field and markedly diminished vision. The clinical presentation of these findings is highly variable, some patients being affected during childhood while others are asymptomatic well into adulthood. There is an increase in mortality rate due to psychiatric comorbidities. The Igenomix Retinitis Pigmentosa Precision Panel can be used to make an accurate and directed diagnosis as well as a differential diagnosis of blindness ultimately leading to a better management and prognosis of the disease. It provides a comprehensive analysis of the genes involved in this disease using next-generation sequencing (NGS) to fully understand the spectrum of relevant genes involved. Indications The Igenomix Retinitis Pigmentosa Precision Panel is indicated for those patients with a clinical suspicion or diagnosis with or without the following manifestations: - Family history of RP - Night blindness - Progressive constriction of the visual field, usually peripheral - Cataracts - Sensation of sparking lights (photopsias) - Headache Clinical Utility The clinical utility of this panel is: - The genetic and molecular confirmation for an accurate clinical diagnosis of a symptomatic patient. - Early initiation of multidisciplinary treatment in the form of medical care with vitamin A and other antioxidants and surgical care for potential cataract extraction or retinal prosthesis.

METHODICAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE INDEPENDENT WORK OF STUDENTS FOR PREPARATION TO PRACTICAL CLASSES AND DURING PRACTICAL CLASSES Academic subject Neurology The module № 1 General neurology Topic Syndromes of defeat oculomotor nerves. Pathology of olfactory and visual analyzers. Year of study IV Faculty Foreign Students Training (Medicine) Poltava 20___ 1.Relevance of the topic: the olfactory and visual analyzers play a role in receptor function of the nervous system. With the functions of these disorders analyzers, as well as with oculomotor disturbances faced by doctors of different specialties - neurologists, ophthalmologists, neurosurgeons, pediatricians, phthisiatricians, endocrinologists, internists. Violations of the functions of these analyzers is observed in a variety of inflammatory, demyelinating processes, tumors, trauma, endocrine disorders. The correct methodological approach to the study of functions, pathological changes of the olfactory and visual analyzers, oculomotor nerves makes it possible to deliver topical and clinical diagnosis and treatment in a timely manner. 2. Specific Objectives: To investigate the function of I, II, III, IV, VI pairs of cranial nerves, identify signs of a lesion of the nerve disorder Examine the identification functions
