Abstract: Basic control theory equations are developed showing classical exponential system response of refraction vs. time R(t), with a characteristic system time constant τ [100 days ± 20%] in response to a negative diopter (-) step change of the student's near-point reading environment.

Abstract: Acetylcholine (ACh) release by starburst amacrine cells (SACs) has been implicated in the production of retinal waves during early retinal development. Inhibitory gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) release by SACs is known to be involved in directional selectivity in the mature retina.
CASE REPORT Pages 25-27
Abstract: Intraosseous meningiomas often display clinical and radiologic features that can be confused for fibrous dysplasia. Histopathology usually confirms the diagnosis. We present a case initially diagnosed as fibrous dysplasia by histopathology.

Abstract: Retinal degenerations (RDs) are a vast and heterogeneous group of inherited degenerative diseases (dystrophies) of the retina that lead to progressive visual loss. The study of RDs involves animal models of various forms: from those naturally occurring to those genetically engineered, from insects to mammals.

Abstract: The neuropeptide research in the eye began in the 80's with the investigation of the presence and distribution of substance P (SP), calciton in gene-related peptide (CGRP), vasoactive intestinal polypeptide (VIP) andneuropeptide Y (NPY). SP and CGRP have been found to be constituents of the sensory innervation of the eye whereas VIP can be attributed to the parasympathetic and NPY to the sympathetic innervation.

Abstract: Prospective case-control study of all patients diagnosed with RVO at a tertiary-care hospital, and age-and sex-matched controls taking part in a population-based prospective cohort in the same geographic area. Differences in serum Hcy between both groups were analyzed by a general linear model adjusted for age, body mass index (BMI), glomerular filtration rate (GFR), hypertension, dyslipidemia, diabetes, tobacco use and alcohol intake.
Review Article Pages 4-11
Abstract: The high incidence of diseases that affect the posterior segment of the eye (PSE)-here intended as composed by sclera, choroid and retina-prompts for establishing effective and well tolerated therapies. Topical application (instillation of drops) and systemic assumption remain the most widespread drug administration routes. However, the drug achieved levels are not therapeutically sufficient therapeutic, since in the first case the drug is mainly washed away by different pathways (aqueous humor, systemic adsorption, tears) and in the second reaches the PSE target in a minimal fraction.
Case Report Pages 1-3
Abstract: A 32-year-old overweight woman taking valproic acid and quetiapine because of bipolar disorder, admitted to the outpatient clinic with diplopia. She had not any other ophthalmic history. Ophthalmological examinations demonstrated esotropia in the left eye and papilledema in the both eyes. The abduction of both eyes was insufficient. CSF analysis revealed an extremely high pressure (28 mmHg) with normal CSF indices. These findings indicated that the patient had pseudotumor cerebri (PTC) that caused bilateral incomplete abducens nerve palsy with papilledema. The patient was discharged with oral acetazolamide therapy and three months after papilledema and abducens palsy were regressed.
