Concurrently observed actions are represented not as compound actions but as independent actions.

Recent research suggests that we can simultaneously represent the actions of multiple agents in our motor system. However, it is unclear exactly how concurrently observed actions are represented. Here, we tested two competing hypotheses.

Planning health care for patients with Graves' orbitopathy.

Background: To describe disease parameters of patients with Graves' orbitopathy in a tertiary referral center in order to plan health care resource allocations. To investigate whether the clinical activity and/or the severity of the disease can be used as a predictor of the duration of treatment.

Methods: Retrospective, observational, non-comparative case series.

[Determining factors for deciding whether or not to treat refractive errors and cataract in people with a learning disability].

Objective: A study into the treatment of refractive errors and cataract in a selected population with learning disabilities. Design. Retrospective.

6,220 institutionalised people with intellectual disability referred for visual assessment between 1993 and 2003: overview and trends.

Aims: To summarise the results of visual performance tests and other data of institutionalised people with intellectual disability referred to a visual advisory centre (VAC) between 1993 and 2003, and to determine trends in these data.

Methods: A retrospective medical record review was undertaken of 6,220 consecutive people examined ophthalmologically according to a standard protocol by one VAC that specialised in visual assessment and treatment of people with intellectual disability, between 1993 and 2003. chi2 test for linear trend was used and linear regression coefficients were calculated.

Coronal or swinging eyelid decompression for patients with disfiguring proptosis in Graves' orbitopathy? Comparison of results in one center.

Purpose: To compare 2 different approaches for 3-wall orbital decompression in patients with disfiguring proptosis due to Graves' orbitopathy, and to determine which technique is preferable.

Design: Retrospective nonrandomized study with a concurrent comparison group.

Participants: Charts of 74 consecutive patients with disfiguring proptosis due to Graves' orbitopathy who underwent coronal (46) or swinging eyelid (28) decompression between January 1, 2000 and January 1, 2004 were studied retrospectively.
