Abstract

We have outlined the essential considerations in evaluating patients for closed vitrectomy and have attempted to show the importance of each. In general, we recommend closed virectomy under the following conditions: (1) vitreous opacities showing no resolution after six months of observation, (2) vision which is worse than 20/200 but has at least light perception with accurate projection, (3) there is no rubeosis iridis or glaucoma, (4) ultrasonography, ERG, and VER reveal a functional retina and optic nerve, and (5) the benefit outweighs the risk of surgery.

A Kalman filter based methodology for EEG spike enhancement.

In this work, we present a methodology for spike enhancement in electroencephalographic (EEG) recordings. Our approach takes advantage of the non-stationarity nature of the EEG signal using a time-varying autoregressive model. The time-varying coefficients of autoregressive model are estimated using the Kalman filter. The results show considerable improvement in signal-to-noise ratio and significant reduction of the number of false positives.

Visual evoked potential in the newborn: does it have predictive value?

We reviewed studies on the predictive value of visual evoked potentials (VEPs) in the newborn. VEPs demonstrated a good correlation with neurodevelopmental outcome in full-term infants with birth asphyxia. However, their prognostic value in preterm infants is controversial. In preterm infants, most studies showed high specificities for neurodevelopmental outcome, but some studies demonstrated lower sensitivities.
