    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Eye tracking; Signal processing; Nystagmus;

    Abstract : This thesis deals with the analysis of eye–tracker signals recorded from nystagmus patients. Nystagmus is an eye movement disorder caused by an underlying condition, and patients who suffer from nystagmus express involuntary oscillating eye move- ments. READ MORE

  4. 2. Persistent geotropic nystagmus : a different kind of cupula pathology

    Author : Tatjana Tomanovic; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : In patients with positional vertigo a persistent positional direction-changing nystagmus (PDCN) of apogeotropic direction (a-PDCN) in the supine yaw plane has been described earlier 1-5. It has been suggested that the cupula in the lateral semicircular canal has a higher specific weight than the surrounding endolymph making the cupula sensitive to gravity. READ MORE

    Abstract : The immature visual system is vulnerable to adverse events in infants born preterm. Both retinopathy of prematurity and periventricular leukomalacia may affect visual function and ocular appearance. READ MORE

  6. 4. Different neurophysiological methods for studying the vestibular system : evaluation of old methods and development of a new test procedure

    Author : Birgitta Larsby; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Abstract : Different methods were used to study the physiology and anatomy of the vestibular system. 1) A primary vestibular cortical area in the cat was located and tested for somatosensory inflow by recordings of vestibular evoked potentials and extracellular single unit activity. READ MORE

  7. 5. On visual impairment in Swedish children

    Author : Jonas Blohmé; Lund Oftalmologi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Ophtalmology; Sweden; sociology; mortality; outcome; epidemiology; registration; childhood blindness; Visual impairment; children; Oftalmologi;

    Abstract : Knowledge of the epidemiology of visual impairment in children forms one of the cornerstones in paediatric ophthalmology. To gain an overview of the situation in Sweden an epidemiological study was performed. Totally 2373 visually impaired children were found, giving an age-specific prevalence of 10,9/10 000. Childhood blindness (i. READ MORE
