Outcomes of Femtosecond Laser Assisted Cataract Surgery Performed by Resident and Attending Surgeons.

 The study aimed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of resident surgeons performing femtosecond laser assisted cataract surgery (FLACS).  A retrospective chart review was conducted at the University of Wisconsin-Madison from postgraduate year four residents performing FLACS between 2017 and 2019. Data were also collected from residents performing manual cataract surgery, and attending surgeons performing FLACS for comparison.

Schwartz-Matsuo syndrome: An important cause of secondary glaucoma.

Purpose: We report a case of Schwartz-Matsuo syndrome that highlights the pathophysiology, diagnostic challenges, and management considerations of this rare disease.

Observations: 31-year-old man with a history of left eye cataract presented with left eye photophobia and elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) of 64 mm Hg. Visual acuity 20/40.

[Formula: see text]Official Position of the American Academy of Clinical Neuropsychology (AACN): Guidelines for Practicum Training in Clinical Neuropsychology.

Practical experience is central to the education and training of neuropsychologists, beginning in graduate school and extending through postdoctoral fellowship. However, historically, little attention has been given to the structure and requirements of practicum training in clinical neuropsychology. A working group of senior-level neuropsychologists, as well as a current postdoctoral fellow, all from a diverse range of settings (The AACN Practicum Guidelines Workgroup), was formed to propose guidelines for practicum training in clinical neuropsychology.

Surgery for Supranuclear Monocular Elevation Deficiency.

Purpose: We report a novel approach to surgery for monocular elevation deficiency (MED).

Methods: A retrospective review of 5 patients undergoing surgery for supranuclear MED between 2003 and 2014. All patients had intact Bell's phenomenon, hypotropia, limited elevation above the primary position, and negative forced duction testing of the paretic eye.

Prediction of ADHD in boys and girls using the D-KEFS.

To examine patterns of executive dysfunction associated with ADHD, 123 children (54 ADHD, 69 controls) of ages 8-16 years were administered selected subtests from the Delis-Kaplan Executive Function System (D-KEFS). Children with ADHD performed significantly worse than controls on measures of both basic (less executive demand) skills and those with more executive demand from the Color-Word Interference and Tower subtests; however, no group differences were noted on any of the D-KEFS contrast scores. Most subtype comparisons yielded no differences; however, children with the Combined subtype outperformed children with the Inattentive subtype on measures of both basic and executive skills from the Trail Making Test.

Evidence for impairments in using static line drawings of eye gaze cues to orient visual-spatial attention in children with high functioning autism.

We examined the ability to use static line drawings of eye gaze cues to orient visual-spatial attention in children with high functioning autism (HFA) compared to typically developing children (TD). The task was organized such that on valid trials, gaze cues were directed toward the same spatial location as the appearance of an upcoming target, while on invalid trials gaze cues were directed to an opposite location. Unlike TD children, children with HFA showed no advantage in reaction time (RT) on valid trials compared to invalid trials (i.

Effects of gender and age on motor exam in typically developing children.

Few studies have contrasted performance of typically developing boys and girls on standardized motor assessment. In the present study, developmental status of the motor system was assessed in 144 typically developing children (72 boys, 72 girls, ages 7-14), using the Physical and Neurological Examination for Subtle Signs (PANESS, Denckla, 1985). Four summary variables were examined: (1) Gaits and Stations, (2) Overflow, (3) Dysrythmia, and (4) Timed Movements.

Evidence that response inhibition is a primary deficit in ADHD.

The present study examined response inhibition in children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD; n = 58) and controls (n = 84) using three go/no-go tests -- one with high working memory demand (cognitive), one with low working memory demand (simple), and one with rewards and response costs (motivation linked) in which emphasis was on reward for responding to "go" stimuli. Results of a repeated measure analysis of variance showed a significant effect of diagnosis for errors of commission for the simple, cognitive, and motivation-linked go/no-go tests, such that children with ADHD made significantly more errors than controls. Furthermore, a significant effect of test was noted across groups, such that both children in the ADHD and control groups performed worse on the cognitive and motivation-linked tests than they did on the simple test.

Neuropsychological outcomes of preterm triplets discordant for birthweight: a case report.

Multiple gestation is associated with a higher incidence of preterm birth and preterm birth often results in later neurocognitive and behavioral problems that persist into adulthood. The medical, neurobiological, familial, and socio-environmental factors determinant for an individual are unpredictable. We present neuropsychological data for fraternal triplets discordant for birthweight whose school-age outcome was inconsistent with the low birthweight literature and for whom neurobiological variables appeared especially pertinent.
