Medical Specialties such as Ophthalmology extend historically back to the beginning of recorded history. Before there was photography to record physical abnormalities of living creatures, there was art and artists who did the recording in their works. Fortunately, many such recordings have been preserved, usually in museums. They provide the graphic evidence of the same medical problems which our ancestors suffered and survived but which we still do but now understand and can ameliorate better. The purpose of this paper is to provide and study several more examples of these art works, to illuminate these historical aspects of medicine, ophthalmology and binocular vision and life.

Artificial Synapse with High Weight-Updating Performance Based on Charge-Trapping Mechanism.

Artificial synapses, basic units of neuromorphic hardware, have been studied to emulate synaptic dynamics, which are beneficial for realizing high-quality neural networks. Currently, two-dimensional (2D) material heterojunction structures are widely used in the study of artificial synapses; however, their dynamic weight-updating characteristics are restricted owing to their high nonlinearity and low symmetricity. In this study, we treated h-BN with oxygen plasma to form a charge-trapping layer (CTL), and we prepared 2D ReS/CTL/h-BN heterojunction synapses.

Individuals with comorbid rapid eye movement (REM) sleep behaviour disorder (RBD) and neurotrauma (NT; defined by traumatic brain injury and post-traumatic stress disorder) have an earlier age of RBD symptom onset, increased RBD-related symptom severity and more neurological features indicative of prodromal synucleinopathy compared to RBD only. An early sign of neurodegenerative condition is autonomic dysfunction, which we sought to evaluate by examining heart rate variability during sleep. Participants with overnight polysomnography were recruited from the Veterans Affairs Portland Health Care System.

Mab2l12 is highly conserved across species and has been implicated in various developmental processes, including eye and heart development. Human patients and transgenic mice with MAB21L2(R51C) mutation have severe skeletal anomalies in their appendicular skeleton. In this study, we aimed to investigate the specific impact of Mab2l12 in limb development.

Introduction: Monocentric retrospective case series to describe clinical and molecular peculiarities in a series of pediatric patients in attempting a possible genotype-phenotype correlation.
Methods: We included 13 pediatric patients from 7 unrelated families (ages 1-18) with biallelic pathogenic and likely pathogenic variants in RDH12 gene. For all our patients segregation analyses were performed in their parents and affected siblings.
Eye-tracking in Mixed Reality for Diagnosis of Neurodegenerative Diseases.
Annu Int Conf IEEE Eng Med Biol Soc
July 2024
Parkinson's disease ranks as the second most prevalent neurodegenerative disorder globally. This research aims to develop a system leveraging Mixed Reality capabilities for tracking and assessing eye movements. In this paper, we present a medical scenario and outline the development of an application designed to capture eye-tracking signals through Mixed Reality technology for the evaluation of neurodegenerative diseases.
