Project description:Pendular see-saw nystagmus is an extremely rare form of nystagmus characterised by cyclical movement of the eyes with a conjugate torsional component and a disjunctive vertical component. Intorsion and elevation of one eye is accompanied by simultaneous extorsion and depression of the contralateral eye. Most commonly it results from a suprasellar/parasellar mass compressing the meso-diencephalic region. Herein, we report a case of a 5-year-old girl who presented with pendular see-saw nystagmus secondary to a craniopharyngioma. The nystagmus resolved following excision of the lesion.

Project description:Lesions in multiple sclerosis can involve brain, optic nerve and spinal cord. We here report a patient of multiple sclerosis, who had unilateral vertical pendular nystagmus, because of simultaneous involvement of optic nerve and asymmetric brain stem lesions. This specific combination is rarely seen in other disorders, therefore can be considered as a distinctive neuro-opthalmoloical sign of multiple sclerosis.

Project description:Acquired pendular nystagmus (PN) occurs commonly in multiple sclerosis (MS) and results in a highly disabling oscillopsia that impairs vision. It usually consists of pseudo-sinusoidal oscillations at a single frequency (3-5 Hz) that often briefly stop for a few hundred milliseconds after saccades and blinks. The oscillations are thought to arise from instability in the gaze-holding networks ("neural integrator") in the brainstem and cerebellum.(1,2) Here we describe a patient with monocular PN in whom vibration on the skull from a handheld muscle massager strikingly diminished or stopped her nystagmus.

Project description:Background and purposeWe aimed to determine the patterns and mechanisms of persistent nystagmus (PN) lasting >1 year in lateral medullary infarction (LMI).MethodsWe recruited 13 patients with PN due to LMI and another 13 with transient nystagmus (TN) (<1 year) as control. All patients underwent oculography, rotatory chair test, caloric test, bedside head impulse test, dizziness handicap inventory (DHI), and brain MRI.ResultsAll patients had spontaneous, contralesional, horizontal-torsional nystagmus during the acute phase. Although two patients exhibited consistent contralesional torsional nystagmus, most patients (11/13, 85%) with PN evolved from the initial contralesional to ipsilesional nystagmus. During horizontal gaze, the patterns of ipsilesional PN were diverse; torsional (n=5), torsional-downbeat (n=2), horizontal (n=2), and horizontal nystagmus while looking at the lesion side, and torsional nystagmus while looking at the opposite side (n=2). During rotatory chair test, the gains of the vestibulo-ocular reflex in the PN group were lower than those in the TN group to the lesion side at 0.02 and 0.64 Hz. The caudal and ventrolateral parts of the vestibular nuclei were mostly involved in patients with PN. The DHI score did not differ between the groups.ConclusionsPN patterns frequently change in LMI. Resultant vestibular asymmetry after vestibular afferents or cerebellar inhibitory pathway damage and/or inappropriate vestibular compensation may be responsible for PN in LMI. Impairment of the horizontal or vertical neural integrators may be another cause. The presence of PN does not necessarily indicate more severe dizziness in LMI.

Project description:We describe a case of pendular nystagmus as a previously unreported side effect of venlafaxine, and speculate to its importance in the recognition of the serotonin syndrome. In particular, we discuss the importance of identifying incomplete forms of the syndrome, such as those presenting with predominantly ocular manifestations, as is in our case.

Project description:The present study investigated the effects of duck skin gelatin and carrageenan on the quality of semi-dried restructured jerky. Restructured jerky was prepared as follows: G0 (control, without duck skin gelatin and carrageenan), G0C (0.3% carrageenan), G0.5 (0.5% duck skin gelatin), G0.5C (0.5% duck skin gelatin and 0.3% carrageenan), G1 (1.0% duck skin gelatin), and G1C (1.0% duck skin gelatin and 0.3% carrageenan). The moisture content was the highest for the semi-dried restructured jerky from G0.5C and G1C groups, which showed the lowest for shear force value (p < 0.05). The processing yield of semi-dried restructured jerky with carrageenan was higher compared to that of the control group (p < 0.05). The rehydration capacities of G0.5, G0.5C, and G1C groups were significantly higher than the rehydration capacity of the control group (p < 0.05). Water activity, lightness, yellowness, flavor score, texture score, and overall acceptability were the highest (p < 0.05) for the semi-dried restructured jerky from the G1C group. No significant (p > 0.05) difference was observed in appearance score among restructured jerky prepared from duck skin gelatin and carrageenan. Thus, the addition of 1.0% duck skin gelatin and 0.3% carrageenan to semi-dried restructured jerky formulations results in the optimization of quality characteristics.

Project description:BackgroundTo explore the performance of deep medullary vein (DMV) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) markers in different intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) subtypes in patients with cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD).MethodsIn total, 232 cases of CSVD with ICH were included in this study. The clinical and image data were retrospectively analyzed. Patients were divided into hypertensive arteriopathy (HTNA)-related ICH, cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA)-related ICH, and mixed ICH groups. The DMV score was determined in the cerebral hemisphere contralateral to the ICH.ResultsThe DMV score was different between the HTNA-related and mixed ICH groups (p < 0.01). The MRI markers and CSVD burden score were significant among the ICH groups (p < 0.05). Compared to mixed ICH, HTNA-related ICH diagnosis was associated with higher deep white matter hyperintensity (DWMH) (OR: 0.452, 95% CI: 0.253-0.809, p < 0.05) and high-degree perivascular space (PVS) (OR: 0.633, 95% CI: 0.416-0.963, p < 0.05), and CAA-related ICH diagnosis was associated with increased age (OR: 1.074; 95% CI: 1.028-1.122, p = 0.001). The DMV score correlated with cerebral microbleed (CMB), PVS, DWMH, periventricular white matter hyperintensity (PWMH), and CSVD burden score (p < 0.05) but not with lacuna (p > 0.05). Age was an independent risk factor for the severity of DMV score (OR: 1.052; 95% CI: 0.026-0.076, p < 0.001).ConclusionDMV scores, CSVD markers, and CSVD burden scores were associated with different subtypes of ICH. In addition, DMV scores were associated with the severity of CSVD and CSVD markers.

Project description:BackgroundPseudo-spontaneous nystagmus has been reported in patients with direction-changing positional nystagmus (DCPN). Recently, the concept of a "light cupula" has been introduced as a pathophysiology that can exhibit persistent geotropic DCPN. Patients with persistent DCPN could have different characteristics of nystagmus. Therefore, we investigated the pseudo-spontaneous nystagmus in patients with transient (canalolithiasis) and persistent (belong to light cupula theory) geotropic DCPN.MethodsIn this study, prospectively, 49 patients with persistent geotropic DCPN and 67 patients with transient geotropic DCPN were enrolled. We compared the incidence of pseudo-spontaneous nystagmus between persistent and transient DCPN patients and characteristics of pseudo-spontaneous nystagmus and positional nystagmus by the head roll test in these patients. A prospective study was conducted at a dizziness clinic.ResultsPatients with persistent geotropic DCPN exhibited significantly higher incidence of pseudo-spontaneous nystagmus than patients with transient geotropic DCPN. Patients with transient DCPN showed a significantly higher mean SPV value during the head roll test than patients with persistent DCPN. All patients exhibiting pseudo-spontaneous nystagmus in patients with persistent DCPN had a null plane, and all patients had nystagmus beats to the opposite side of the null plane or the lesion side.ConclusionOur results support the possibility that the mechanism between persistent and transient geotropic DCPN may be different. However, more studies are needed on the pathogenesis and mechanism of the two diseases, including the occurrence of pseudo-spontaneous nystagmus in the disease entity.
