AI Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to establish age norms for visual acuity and contrast sensitivity in infants and young children using specific tests.
- Researchers evaluated 600 children aged 3 to 36 months, measuring visual acuity with the Lea grating test and contrast sensitivity using the Hiding Heidi test.
- Results showed that both visual acuity and contrast sensitivity improve significantly in the first two years, with specific metrics indicating ongoing development even at 36 months, suggesting these measures should be used in clinical settings for assessing young children's vision.
Article Abstract
Aim: To determine age norms in the first three years of life for grating visual acuity and contrast sensitivity obtained with Lea grating test and Hiding Heidi low contrast face test.
Methods: Lea grating test was used to estimate binocular grating acuity and Hiding Heidi low contrast face test was used to estimate contrast sensitivity in 600 healthy infants and children. Age ranged from 3 to 36mo subdivided into 12 groups subjected for full ophthalmologic and pediatric examinations.
Results: The grating acuity developed along the first three years of life. It ranged from 1.88±0.32 c/d at 3mo to 30.95±0.77 c/d at 36mo. The most rapid development was during the first 12mo and the slowest development was from 30 to 36mo. The contrast sensitivity showed rapid development in the first two years of life. Its mean value ranged from 4.23±1.17 at 3mo to 78.26±8.21 at 24mo. It was constant at the highest score (80) thereafter.
Conclusion: Age norms for grating acuity along with contrast sensitivity offer a more comprehensive measure of spatial vision and should be incorporated in clinical practice for better visual assessment in preverbal and nonverbal children.

Background: Maternal smoking around birth (MSAB) and early-life breastfeeding (BAB) represent critical factors that may exert enduring effects on neuropsychiatric health. Although previous research has examined these exposures separately, the combined impact of both on disorders such as ADHD, ASD, BD, MDD, ANX, and SCZ remains unclear. This study aims to evaluate the causal relationships between MSAB and BAB and the risk of developing these neuropsychiatric disorders through Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis.

Objective: This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of deep learning features derived from multi-sequence magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in determining the O-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase (MGMT) promoter methylation status among glioblastoma patients.
Methods: Clinical, pathological, and MRI data of 356 glioblastoma patients (251 methylated, 105 unmethylated) were retrospectively examined from the public dataset The Cancer Imaging Archive. Each patient underwent preoperative multi-sequence brain MRI scans, which included T1-weighted imaging (T1WI) and contrast-enhanced T1-weighted imaging (CE-T1WI).
Effect of structural characteristics on the stability of multi-weak rock slopes considering the spatial variability of geotechnical parameters.
Sci Rep

The slope of open-pit mines is typically characterized by an interaction structure involving multiple weak layers, with these structural characteristics serving as key factors in determining rock slope stability. Under the influence of random factors such as engineering activities and geological structures, the weak layers of the slope and the intact rock layers undergo relative changes. This interaction leads to a more pronounced spatial variability in the geotechnical parameters that inherently exist.
