Article Synopsis
- A study investigated how using bioptic telescopes affects the ability of individuals with reduced visual acuity to recognize road signs, traffic lights, and hazards while driving.* -
- Ten participants underwent driving tests with and without bioptic telescopes, showing that those using the telescopes could identify road signs at much greater distances (2.6 times farther) compared to when not using them.* -
- Overall, the use of bioptic telescopes significantly improved visual recognition distances, which is crucial for driving safety, although the accuracy of recognition of signs and hazards remained unchanged.*
Despite intensive investigations, about 30% of stroke cases remains of undetermined origin. After exclusion of common causes of stroke, there is a number of rare heritable and non-heritable conditions, which often remain misdiagnosed, that should be additionally considered in the diagnosis of cryptogenic stroke. The identification of these diseases requires a complex work up including detailed clinical evaluation for the detection of systemic symptoms and signs, an adequate neuroimaging assessment and a careful family history collection.
