Soft toric contact lenses have long been used by physicians for patients with a wide variety of astigmatic prescriptions. Although these lenses provide good vision and initial comfort, symptoms such as dryness and variable acuity can develop 1–3. In the 1990s, hybrid lenses such as Saturn II and its successor SoftPerm were convenient and produced satisfactory visual outcomes in patients with regular and irregular astigmatism 4,5. However, adverse effects related to hypoxia and induced corneal…

Courtney Sanford Ms.Davis British Lit 1A 4/17/18 “ A Discussion to End Discussions” What decides the fate of humanity may have nothing to do with genetics and its surroundings, but a combination of both. For decades the debate of nature vs nurture has been raging on without a true and clear winner.

agents at bedside, respiratory therapist present, pre-procedure vital signs and assessment criteria. The time out component requires all staff to stop, agree upon and record: time, proper identification of the patient, the intended procedure, and laterality if applicable. Vital signs are obtained every five minutes during and after the procedure until the patient meets defined criteria (Huber & Ogrinc,…

OBSERVATIONS IN THERAPY Aryana is a sweet and friendly little girl. She was initially very active, and it was difficult for her to focus her attention in therapy sessions. She tended to run around, and frequently jumped from one activity to the next. However, she has matured a lot, which allowed therapy to be more structured. Although she can still be impulsive at times, she displays greater control of her movements and behaviour. She is still emotional at times, especially when tasks are…

Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS), the procedure of placing stimulating electrodes into targeted brain structures, was first introduced in 1987 (Benabid et al. 1991; Benabid et al. 1987). There are several theories explaining the efficacy of DBS, (Chakrabarti et al. 2014; Frost et al. 2009; Halpern et al. 2007; Pereira et al. 2007), but ample evidence exists on the safety and efficacy of DBS in Parkinson’s Disease (PD), leading to expanded indications for DBS including benign tremors, dystonia,…

suggest that the complete frequency for both microtia and anotia is 2.06% while microtia alone is 1.55% and 0.36% for anotia. The study supports a new coding system that not only lets complete phenotype of AM to be categorized, including severity and laterality, but also helps with any future studies on the range of frequency related to race, gender, and ethnicity. As for now, there is no known, recorded association with the risk of having the birth defect with the mother’s age, the baby’s sex,…

Ambidexterity in the Martial Arts My thoughts on ambidexterity go back to early childhood, long before I had even known there was such a word to describe being able to use both sides of the body with equal ability. When I was a child entering elementary school in the first grade during the middle 1960’s I had naturally started to learn how to print and write using my left hand. However, much to the dismay of my teacher and my parents, the thought of me writing with my left hand must have been…

I spent one year training at Ginásio Clube Português which is located near a refined square where a beautiful garden stands. My ping pong teacher took me and two other colleagues into somewhere in a white Renault 4; later I met Canina there at the football field. I have met two Canina´s.
