Total temporomandibular joint replacement in a patient with rheumatoid arthritis: report of case.

This case is an example of a patient with apparent successful total TMJ replacement. With reconstruction of the joints with artificial implants, the loss of posterior ramus height because of complete erosion of the joints, mandibular retrognathia, and severe open bite were corrected. The improved masticatory function, absence of choking, and disappearance of sleep apnea symptoms allowed the patient to resume a more normal life. The patient will continue to be examined periodically, but the current prognosis is favorable.

Vision and sports: a review of the literature.

The basis for training visual abilities to enhance sports performance is explored. Optometric intervention in sports assumes the following statements to be true: 1. Athletes have better visual abilities than non-athletes and better athletes have better visual abilities than the poorer athletes, 2. Visual abilities are trainable, and 3. Visual training is transferable to the performance of the athlete. The literature demonstrates that athletes have better visual abilities than non-athletes. Studies have shown this to be true in the following areas of vision: Larger extent of visual fields, larger fields of recognition (peripheral acuity), larger motion perception fields, lower amounts of heterophoria at near and far, more consistent simultaneous vision, more accurate depth perception, better dynamic visual acuity, and better ocular motilities. The literature also shows that all of the above skills are trainable. Two studies are cited that support the belief that visual training is transferable to athletic performance but they suffer from inadequate experimental design.
