Magnitude and Causes of Visual Impairment and Blindness Among Children Attending Paediatric Eye Clinic at Muhimbili National Hospital, 2010 [PDF]

, 2011
The number of blind years resulting from blindness in children is alarmingly high. Blindness in children can have a significant impact on their performance at school as well as their social interaction and future employment as visually impaired children ...

The Nigerian national blindness and visual impairment survey: Rationale, objectives and detailed methodology [PDF]

, 2008
Background: Despite having the largest population in Africa, Nigeria has no accurate population based data to plan and evaluate eye care services. A national survey was undertaken to estimate the prevalence and determine the major causes of blindness and

From energy provision to protein synthesis: Tunnelling nanotubes as mediators of intercellular metabolic cooperation in cancer

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
The cytoskeleton‐mediated transport of mitochondria via tunnelling nanotubes restores respiration, increases ATP production, rescues cells from apoptosis, activates the AKT/mTOR signalling pathway, promotes cell migration and invasiveness, contributes to cancer progression and treatment resistance.

Perception, action and the cortical visual streams [PDF]

, 2005
Over a decade ago Milner and Goodale suggested that perception and action are subserved by two distinct cortical visual streams. The ventral stream projecting from striate cortex to inferotemporal cortex is involved in the perceptual identification of ...

KDAC6 alters cell morphology and motility through positive and negative modulation of F‐actin distribution

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
KDAC6 has been associated with cell motility and actin structures, but specific domain contributions are not established. The two catalytic domains have differential effects on motility and F‐actin regulation, affecting cortical F‐actin density, motility, stress fibers, and cell spreading.

The C‐terminal truncated splicing variant of NK1R negatively modulates substance P‐stimulated NK1R signaling

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
The neurokinin 1 receptor exists as full‐length (NK1L) and C‐terminally truncated (NK1S) splice variants. We show that NK1S heterodimerizes with NK1L, impairing Gαq coupling and Ca2+ mobilization while enhancing β‐arrestin1 recruitment. NK1S suppresses substance P‐driven gene expression and cell migration, revealing NK1S as an endogenous biased ...

Cortical visual impairment [PDF]

, 2013
In this thesis we discuss cortical visual impairment, diagnosis that is in the developed world in first place, since 20 percent of children with blindness or low vision are diagnosed with it.

Summary: • Cortical Visual Impairment o Term preferred over cortical blindness as patient does not need to be blind o Impaired with vision due to problem in the occipital cortex o Any lesion behind the optic chiasm bodies > homonymous hemianopsia on the ...
