Cerebral Ptosis: A Revisit
Monalisa Vegda, Samhita Panda, Sarbesh Tiwari, Kartikeya Shukla, Jaya Pamnani, Suryanarayanan BhaskarNeurology India 2022 70(3):1161-1164 Ptosis, unilateral or bilateral, partial or complete, occurring in cases of cerebral ischemic or hemorrhagic stroke, trauma or tumor without involvement of brainstem or oculo-sympathetic mechanism can be termed as cerebral ptosis. Such eyelid dysfunction can occur with hemispheric involvement of either side. It is associated with higher frequency of gaze preference to side of lesion as well as upgaze limitation compared to patients without cerebral ptosis. Here, we present our observati...

The Director of the NIH Lays Out His Vision of the Future of Medical Science
Our world has never witnessed a time of greater promise for improving human health. Many of today’s health advances have stemmed from a long arc of discovery that begins with strong, steady support for basic science. In large part because of fundamental research funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH), which traces its roots to 1887, Americans are living longer, healthier lives. Life expectancy for a baby born in the U.S. has risen from 47 years in 1900 to more than 78 years today. Among the advances that have helped to make this possible are a 70% decline in the U.S. death rate from cardiovascular disease ...

Comparison Between the Video Head Impulse Test and Caloric Irrigation During Acute Vertigo
This study included 80 pa tients with acute onset vertigo who underwent caloric irrigation and vHIT. CI derived sum of slow phase velocities (SPVs) and unilateral weakness (UW) were compared with vHIT vestibulo-ocular reflex (VOR) gain and gain asymmetry (GA) using correlation analyses. Optimal cut offs for vHIT VOR gain and GA were calculated using Youden indexes. There was a strong positive correlation between the asymmetry measures UW and GA whereas the correlation between the sum of SPVs and VOR gain was weaker. The optimal cut offs to diagnose unilateral vestibular weakness were 0.80 for VOR gain and 28% for GA; w ith...
