A 70-year-old man with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) presented with simultaneous right oculomotor nerve palsy and right facial nerve palsy. Brain magnetic resonance imaging and cerebrospinal fluid analysis revealed no abnormality. Coexistent Sjögren's syndrome was diagnosed on the basis of anti-SS-A antibody positivity, salivary gland scintigraphy, and histological findings on minor salivary gland biopsy. As there was no obvious cause of multiple cranial neuropathies, we supposed that the palsies were induced by either of the underlying diseases. The patient was treated with a high-dose of prednisolone and intravenous cyclophosphamide, and both palsies recovered almost completely within two weeks.

The analysis of eye movements is a noninvasive, reliable and fast method to detect and quantify brain (dys)function. Here, we investigated the performance of two novel eye-trackers-the Thomas Oculus Motus-research mobile (TOM-rm) and the TOM-research stationary (TOM-rs)-and compared them with the performance of a well-established video-based eye-tracker, i.e.

Background: Despite the understanding of the association between noise exposure and noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL), the effects of noise on vestibular function are less well understood and neglected.
Aim: The aim of this study was to investigate the function of the vestibular system in workers with NIHL.
Materials And Methods: Thirty male textile workers with symmetrical NIHL (49.
Sub-cone visual resolution by active, adaptive sampling in the human foveola.

The foveated architecture of the human retina and the eye's mobility enables prime spatial vision, yet the interplay between photoreceptor cell topography and the constant motion of the eye during fixation remains unexplored. With in vivo foveal cone-resolved imaging and simultaneous microscopic photo stimulation, we examined visual acuity in both eyes of 16 participants while precisely recording the stimulus path on the retina. We find that resolution thresholds were correlated with the individual retina's sampling capacity, and exceeded what static sampling limits would predict by 18%, on average.

Spinal anesthesia is one of the most frequently performed regional anesthesia techniques for a variety of surgeries world-wide. Cranial nerve palsy is a rarely reported complication of central neuraxial block. The etiology varies; however, it is most often associated with nerve compression or traction due to intracranial hypotension.

Background: Methylphenidate is a routinely prescribed treatment for attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder with misuse potential owing to its perceived performance-enhancing and euphoric properties. Although clinically effective, there is limited understanding of how methylphenidate affects safety-sensitive tasks such as driving when used by healthy individuals.
Aim: Explore the acute effects of 10 mg methylphenidate on driving performance and gaze behaviour.
