Neuromuscular fatigability amplitude and aetiology are interrelated across muscles.

New Findings: What is the central question of this study? Is neuromuscular fatigability interrelated between different muscle groups from the same individual during isometric all-out exercise? What is the main finding and its importance? Although the average decrease can vary between muscles, an individual demonstrates interrelated fatigability aetiology regardless of the muscle group tested. The inter-individual variability provides evidence of different profiles common between muscles, which can be regarded as an individual characteristic.

Abstract: Neuromuscular fatigability is commonly attributed to central and peripheral origins.

[A case report of transient myopia following blunt trauma].

We present a case report on a young man complaining of transient myopia following a blunt trauma. Clinical and paraclinical (ultrasound) follow-up allowed us to discuss the different physiopathological mechanisms involved. We observed anterior lens displacement, increased lens thickness probably due to lens edema, choroidal detachment, and ciliary body edema.

[Central serous chorioretinopathy and systemic steroid therapy].

Background: The manifestations of the ocular toxicity of systemic corticosteroids include posterior subcapsular cataracts and glaucoma. We describe 14 cases of serous detachment of the macula due to central serous chorioretinopathy in patients given long-term steroid therapy, which may be another potential ocular side effect of corticosteroid.

Cases Report: The 14 (9 men and 5 women) patients were aged from 39 to 55 year old.

[Hypermetropia].

Hypermetropia, like myopia, is a defect of axial refraction, most often due to reduction of the anteroposterior diameter of the eyeball. Hypermetropia is normal in the young child and usually diminishes with age. Moderate hypermetropia is generally well tolerated in young subjects.

[Systematic detection of anti-HIV antibodies in donors before keratoplasty: justification and practical modalities].

We recall the medical obligation to perform an HIV serology on corneal donors before keratoplasty. The ways to take samples of blood from a deceased person and the techniques which detect HIV antibodies are discussed. We emphasize on the contribution of preservation mediums in order to complete the investigations on the etiology of the death in non urgent keratoplasty.
