Acquired Vertical Accommodative Vergence [PDF]

The Open Ophthalmology Journal, 2008
Vertical accommodative vergence is an unusual synkinesis in which vertical vergence is modulated together with accommodation. It results from a supranuclear miswiring of the network normally conveying accommodative convergence. So far, it is unknown whether this condition is congenital or acquired.

Enhancing Surgical Efficiency and Cost‐Effectiveness With TaTME‐Combined Robot‐Assisted Surgery for Lower Rectal Cancer

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Robot‐assisted rectal surgery (RAS) offers improved dexterity and visualization; however, the high cost of equipment and consumables remains a major challenge for hospital management. At our institution, we have adopted a combined approach using transanal total mesorectal excision (TaTME) for lower rectal cancers, aiming to shorten ...

Evidence Supporting Open-Loop Control During Early Vergence

Journal of Eye Movement Research, 2013
Disparity vergence eye movements were analyzed to determine if the early component of this response operates under open-loop, or preprogrammed, control. The analysis compares ratios of peak velocity to response amplitude (i.e., main sequence ratios) for ...

Short Distal Resection Margin Does Not Increase Recurrence Risk After R0 Resection for Rectal Neuroendocrine Tumors: A Single‐Institution Retrospective Study of 208 Patients

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
This study evaluated the impact of distal resection margin (DRM) length on recurrence in 208 patients undergoing surgery for rectal neuroendocrine tumors (NETs). Our findings demonstrate that while oncological safety must unquestionably remain the top priority, a short pathological DRM (< 10 mm) does not increase recurrence risk when R0 resection is ...

Target eccentricity and form influences disparity vergence eye movements responses: A temporal and dynamic analysis

Journal of Eye Movement Research, 2019
This study sought to investigate whether stimulation to the fovea or the parafovea with different color combinations influenced the temporal and dynamic features of 4° disparity vergence step responses.

Difference in visual processing assessed by eye vergence movements. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
Orienting visual attention is closely linked to the oculomotor system. For example, a shift of attention is usually followed by a saccadic eye movement and can be revealed by micro saccades.

Impact of Body Weight Loss During Preoperative Chemoradiotherapy on Prognosis of Patients With Lower Rectal Cancer

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
The present study aimed to investigate the relationship between changes in body weight and composition during chemoradiotherapy, such as the psoas muscle mass index, visceral fat index, and subcutaneous fat index obtained from computed tomography images, and long‐term outcomes in rectal cancer patients.

Impact of Two‐Team Surgery on Short‐ and Long‐Term Outcomes of Transanal Total Mesorectal Excision for Rectal Cancer

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
This study investigated the impact of two‐team surgery on short‐ and long‐term outcomes of transanal total mesorectal excision for rectal cancer. Two‐team surgery has some advantages over one‐team surgery, such as shorter operation time, decreased estimated blood loss, increased number of lymph nodes dissected, and decreased positive distal margin ...
