  • AY2012-2013 Graduating Class Was the Largest in Over 10 Years
    A Message from the President I am pleased to announce the 2012-2013 edition of the University of Guam Fact Book. The Fact Book is designed as a convenient and authoritative reference guide and as a historical record of our growing University. The book includes data and information on our faculty, students, administration, physical resources and revenue sources. This past year was special for a number of reasons, one of which is that the AY2012-2013 graduating class was the largest in over 10 years. This year also marks the first year in its history that the University recorded $100M in revenue. Since our beginning in 1952 as a teacher training junior college in Mongmong, the University of Guam has grown into the largest U.S. accredited institution of higher learning on this side of the international dateline. Today, the University offers 35 undergraduate degrees and 15 graduate programs and has graduated over 14,500 students who are now engaged, dynamic professionals in Guam, our neighboring island communities and across the world. We hope that the information presented here will highlight the many facets that comprise the University of Guam and will help you gain a greater understanding of the nature of the University. Biba UOG! Dr. Robert A. Underwood President -i- A Message from the Senior Vice President for Academic and Student Affairs Hafa Adai! I am pleased to present the sixth edition of the University of Guam Fact Book for the academic year 2012- 2013.

  • King-Devick Test for Concussion
    King-Devick Test for Concussion Lancet Neurol. 2014 Oct;13(10):1006-1016. doi: 10.1016/S1474-4422(14)70111-5. The Neuro-ophthalmology of Head Trauma Ventura RE1, Balcer LJ1, Galetta SL1 1Department of Neurology, New York University School of Medicine, New York, NY, USA. SUMMARY: Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a major cause of morbidity and mortality. Concussion, a form of mild TBI, might be associated with long-term neurological symptoms. The effects of TBI and concussion are not restricted to cognition and balance. TBI can also affect multiple aspects of vision; mild TBI frequently leads to disruptions in visual functioning, while moderate or severe TBI often causes structural lesions. In patients with mild TBI, there might be abnormalities in saccades, pursuit, convergence, accommodation, and vestibulo-ocular reflex. Moderate and severe TBI might additionally lead to ocular motor palsies, optic neuropathies, and orbital pathologies. Vision-based testing is vital in the management of all forms of TBI and provides a sensitive approach for sideline or post-injury concussion screening. One sideline test, the King-Devick test, uses rapid number naming and has been tested in multiple athlete cohorts.
