December 2020

Department of Pediatric Anesthesia and Pain Medicine, The Hospital for Sick Chil-dren, Toronto, Ontario, Canada.

Background: Opioid therapy in pediatrics may be particularly prone to error, yet the incidence of opioid-related medication error and harm has not yet been described in the pediatric inpatient setting.

Methods: We reviewed a prospectively compiled medication safety database from November 1, 2012 to October 31, 2017. Reports originated from voluntary reporting, hospital code events, naloxone administrations, and reports of unexpected experiences of patient pain.

The Initiation of Smooth Pursuit is Delayed in Anisometropic Amblyopia.

Invest Ophthalmol Vis Sci

April 2016

Program in Neuroscience and Mental Health The Hospital for Sick Children, Toronto, Canada 2Department of Ophthalmology and Vision Sciences, University of Toronto, Toronto, Canada 3Department of Ophthalmology and Vision Sciences, The Hospital for Sick Chil.

Purpose: Several behavioral studies have shown that the reaction times of visually guided movements are slower in people with amblyopia, particularly during amblyopic eye viewing. Here, we tested the hypothesis that the initiation of smooth pursuit eye movements, which are responsible for accurately keeping moving objects on the fovea, is delayed in people with anisometropic amblyopia.

Methods: Eleven participants with anisometropic amblyopia and 14 visually normal observers were asked to track a step-ramp target moving at ±15°/s horizontally as quickly and as accurately as possible.

Behavioral Training as New Treatment for Adult Amblyopia: A Meta-Analysis and Systematic Review.

Invest Ophthalmol Vis Sci

June 2015

Program in Neuroscience and Mental Health The Hospital for Sick Children, Toronto, Canada 2Department of Ophthalmology and Vision Sciences, University of Toronto, Toronto, Canada 3Department of Ophthalmology and Vision Sciences, The Hospital for Sick Chil.

Purpose: New behavioral treatment methods, including dichoptic training, perceptual learning, and video gaming, have been proposed to improve visual function in adult amblyopia. Here, we conducted a meta-analysis of these methods to investigate the factors involved in amblyopia recovery and their clinical significance.

Methods: Mean and individual participant data meta-analyses were performed on 24 studies using the new behavioral methods in adults.
