Stereopsis and Eye Movement Abnormalities in Parkinson's Disease and Their Clinical Implications.

Article Synopsis
- Parkinson's disease (PD) is associated not only with motor symptoms but also significant non-motor features, particularly sensory visual dysfunctions affecting depth perception and eye movements.
- The study aims to analyze eye movement behaviors and stereopsis in PD patients to see how these relate to the severity of their motor symptoms and cognitive status.
- Results indicate that PD patients have worse stereopsis and altered eye movement patterns compared to controls, with these visual deficits closely linked to the severity of their PD symptoms and cognitive abilities.
Purpose: Developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) diagnosis by two-dimensional ultrasound (2DUS) can have poor inter-rater reliability. 3D ultrasound (3DUS) may be more reliably performed, particularly by novice users. We compared intra- and inter-rater reliability between expert and novice operators performing 2DUS and 3DUS for DDH.

Materials and Methods In this retrospective multi-institutional study, 3D US was added to conventional two-dimensional (2D) US of 1728 infants (mean age, 67 days; age range, 3-238 days) evaluated for DDH from January 2013 to December 2016. Clinical diagnosis after more than 6 months follow-up was normal (n = 1347), borderline (Graf IIa, later normalizing spontaneously; n = 140) or dysplastic (Graf IIb or higher, n = 241).
