  • Gaokao Admission
    University of San Francisco Gaokao Admission Frequently Asked Questions What is Gaokao Direct Admission? USF offers a special, accelerated admission procedure for Chinese students who have achieved excellent Gaokao scores. Applicants will be admitted to USF based solely on their Gaokao test scores and a one-on-one interview with University staff, designed to evaluate English proficiency. There are no other admission requirements. Interviews in July enable students to begin their education in America immediately– –without spending an extra year preparing for IELTS, TOEFL or SAT tests. Interviews begin in mid-July, applicants receive their results within 24 hours of the interview, and formal admission letters are sent within a week. Students therefore have enough time to apply for F-1 student visas, and can attend USF in the Fall (August) Semester. Students who qualify in July can postpone their admission to the following Spring (January) Semester, if they prefer. Interviews are also held in late November or early December each year. Students who complete these interviews successfully can enter USF in the Spring (January) Semester or the next Fall (August) Semester. Why is USF doing this? For many decades, USF and the City of San Francisco have welcomed students from China. Our Chinese alumni have done very well in life after USF, both professionally and personally. Current Gaokao and other Chinese students enrich the educational experience of international and domestic students, alike; all benefit from the international network of friends made and colleagues introduced here at USF. Over the past few years, we have seen a steady increase in the academic ability and achievements of Chinese applicants to USF.

However, in eastern and central Europe there is a particular urgency about the debate as newly independent states review and reform their education systems in the light of changing social and economic conditions. Slovenia is currently in the middle of a development programme which will eventually affect all parts of its education system. In July 1995, a major feature of the programme became reality when the first Matura, or graduation examination, was successfully conducted on a national scale.

  • Bedside Neuro-Otological Examination and Interpretation of Commonly
    J Neurol Neurosurg Psychiatry: first published as 10.1136/jnnp.2004.054478 on 24 November 2004. Downloaded from BEDSIDE NEURO-OTOLOGICAL EXAMINATION AND INTERPRETATION iv32 OF COMMONLY USED INVESTIGATIONS RDavies J Neurol Neurosurg Psychiatry 2004;75(Suppl IV):iv32–iv44. doi: 10.1136/jnnp.2004.054478 he assessment of the patient with a neuro-otological problem is not a complex task if approached in a logical manner. It is best addressed by taking a comprehensive history, by a Tphysical examination that is directed towards detecting abnormalities of eye movements and abnormalities of gait, and also towards identifying any associated otological or neurological problems. This examination needs to be mindful of the factors that can compromise the value of the signs elicited, and the range of investigative techniques available. The majority of patients that present with neuro-otological symptoms do not have a space occupying lesion and the over reliance on imaging techniques is likely to miss more common conditions, such as benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV), or the failure to compensate following an acute unilateral labyrinthine event. The role of the neuro-otologist is to identify the site of the lesion, gather information that may lead to an aetiological diagnosis, and from there, to formulate a management plan. c BACKGROUND Balance is maintained through the integration at the brainstem level of information from the vestibular end organs, and the visual and proprioceptive sensory modalities. This processing takes place in the vestibular nuclei, with modulating influences from higher centres including the cerebellum, the extrapyramidal system, the cerebral cortex, and the contiguous reticular formation (fig 1).
