Multifocal Chromatic Pupilloperimetry in Patients With Pseudotumor Cerebri and Healthy Subjects.
PTC(Pseudotumor cerebri) patients may develop increased Intracranial pressure (ICP) that can produces increased pressure around the distal optic nerve,which is likely followed by venule compression, ischemia, and loss of visual function.Vision loss in PTC is most commonly characterized by standard automated perimetry to measure peripheral visual field sensitivity. Pupillometry is …
Acetazolamide Per os for Decompensation of Heart Failure
The main causes of chronic heart failure (CHF) are arterial hypertension and coronary artery disease, less often cardiomyopathy, pericarditis, metastatic myocardial lesions. It should be noted that up to 50% of patients have a preserved left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), while its prevalence is progressively increasing annually. Acute decompensation of …

Functional decline in AD is severely impacted by impaired ability to do physical actions while having to make decisions and …
Identification of Critical Thermal Environments for Aged Adults
This study evaluates critical environmental limits (temperature and humidity) above which older adults are unable to effectively thermoregulate. Participants will exercise in a series of different environmental conditions to identify combinations of temperature and humidity above which age-related physiological changes cause uncompensable heat stress, resulting in increased risk of heat …
