Purpose: To compare performance of single-image vs multiple-image telemedicine examinations for retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) diagnosis.
Design: Prospective comparative study.
Methods: A total of 248 eyes from 67 consecutive infants underwent wide-angle retinal imaging by a trained neonatal nurse at 31 to 33 weeks and/or 35 to 37 weeks postmenstrual age (PMA) at a single academic institution.
Objective: To measure accuracy and reliability of the computer-based Retinal Image Multiscale Analysis (RISA) system compared with those of recognized retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) experts, for plus disease diagnosis.
Design: Evaluation of diagnostic test or technology.
Participants: Eleven recognized ROP experts and the RISA image analysis system interpreted a set of 20 wide-angle retinal photographs for presence of plus disease.
Routine measurement of children's height is essential in monitoring for deviations in normal growth velocity. Target adult height of children is estimated by determining an adjusted midparental height. Such determinations are dependent on the accurate acquisition of parental height.

Methods: We tested this hypothesis by measuring cardiac baroreflex responses to carotid baroreceptor stimulation (neck pressures), and changes in heart rate and diastolic BP after reductions in BP induced by a 15-s Valsalva maneuver in 10 female and 10 male subjects at 1, 3, 6, and 24 h after performing repeated SM. Baroreflex responses were also measured in each subject at 1, 3, 6, and 24 h at the same time on a separate day without repeated SM (control) in a randomized, counter-balanced cross-over experimental design.
