Slow Saccadic Movements Research Articles

Saccadic movements assessment in eccentric fixation: A study in patients with Stargardt disease.

To investigate saccadic movements in subjects with eccentric fixation due to a deep central scotoma in Stargardt disease (STGD). We studied 10 patients with STGD and 10 healthy subjects (control group). Saccadic movements of all the 20 subjects were assessed by using the eye tracker technique Tobii Glasses Pro 2. Standard measurements of reading ability (MNREAD charts), visual acuity (ETDRS charts), contrast sensitivity (Pelli-Robson charts), reading contrast threshold and speed (REX charts), retinal sensitivity and stability and localization of the fixation (MP1 fundus perimetry) were obtained in all subjects. The saccadic movements time was significantly slower in STGD than in healthy subjects (699 ± 193 ms vs 299 ± 40 ms, p < 0.001). When STGD patients moved fixation to the target localized in retinal scotomatous areas, the movement was significantly slower compared to non scotomatous areas in the retina (1103 ± 798 ms vs 524 ± 187 ms, p = 0.039). There was a trend toward a correlation between slow saccadic movements in STGD subjects and the reading performance indices, although statistical significance was not achieved. Ocular saccades guided by eccentric fixation in STGD patients are significantly slower than in the control group, especially when the target corresponds to retinal areas with a deep scotoma. These results can explain the worse reading performance in STGD subjects, in particular when a non-viewing area on the right part of the text is present.

A Case of Early onset Vertical Gaze Palsy with Bipolar Disorder

A lady with early onset cognitive impairment with movement disorder and elevated mood, grandiosity, distractibility, flight of ideas, pressure of speech presented in outpatient department and initially diagnosed as Bipolar disorder with early onset parkinsonism and Frontotemporal dementia. She later developed vertical gaze palsy with slow saccadic movements and her diagnosis was confirmed as Progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP). The association of bipolar disorder indigenous to pathological laughter and crying is the pearl of this clinical case.&#x0D; Key words : PSP, Bipolar disorder, vertical gaze palsy, extrapyramidal symptoms

Multiple System Atrophy/Dysautonomia Complicated by Viral Infections, Hashimoto�s and other Autoimmune Disorders: Functional Neurology Approach and Applications

Event Abstract Back to Event Multiple System Atrophy/Dysautonomia Complicated by Viral Infections, Hashimoto’s and other Autoimmune Disorders: Functional Neurology Approach and Applications Gil S. Jaudy1* 1 Jaudy Treatment Center, United States Background and Aims A 41-year-old female presented to our clinic complaining of fatigue, anxiety, muscle tension, headaches, brain fog, interrupted sleep, autoimmune sensitivities, digestive issues, bone spurs, and neck and shoulders pain. History of the patient consisted of allergies all her life, Hashimoto’s, light-headedness, migraine headaches, viral infections, in addition to several accidents, falls and surgeries. The patient has seen several allopathic and alternative doctors, was as put on several medications and supplements, but her symptoms kept worsening. The patient fears that her symptoms will make her bedridden and helpless in the next 2 years, and become a burden on her husband and family. Methods The patient had undergone a comprehensive and extensive neurological examination using standard neurological tests and diagnostics including VNG, computerized dynamic posturography, tremorscopic testing. She had bilateral areflexia, orthostatic concomitance, sensorimotor deficiencies, anterior center of pressure (ACOP). She also had positive pathological reflexes. The patient had balance and incoordination issues. She also had slow saccadic movements in various planes, and aberrant vertical to horizontal optokinetic. She also had irregular pursuits, bilateral hippus with loss of gaze. A slow systemic Functional Neurology approach was implemented using various visual, auditory, vestibular, sensory and motor applications, brain-based activities, cerebellar activation, complex therapeutic activities, home instructions and dietary changes. Results During the first 2 days of treatment, the patient slept for 6 hours straight and was able to digest better. By the second week of treatment, 80% of her symptoms had resolved. The patient was discharged for one month, followed by one week of treatment. Today the patient is seen three times a year and enjoys life with her family.

Irritable Bowel Disease Complicated by Food Intolerances, Malabsorption, Dysphagia, Weight Loss, Brain Fogginess, Light-Headedness, and Chronic Fatigue: A Functional Neurology and Neuro-Visceral Applications� Approach.

Event Abstract Back to Event Irritable Bowel Disease Complicated by Food Intolerances, Malabsorption, Dysphagia, Weight Loss, Brain Fogginess, Light-Headedness, and Chronic Fatigue: A Functional Neurology and Neuro-Visceral Applications™ Approach. Gil S. Jaudy1* 1 JTC, United States Background and Aims The patient is 30-year-old male who presented to our clinic on 02/24/2016 complaining of digestive issues, mental issues, throat issues, headaches, light-headedness, stomachaches, difficulty breathing, and chronic fatigue. The patient reported that he was diagnosed with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. He has had a past medical history of valley fever and balance problems . The patient was put on Clonazepam, Amitriptyline, Famotidine, Dicyclomine, HCL, Dexilant and several others. He reported an overall feeling of ill-being and increase in his symptoms, and further debilitation. Methods The patient had undergone a comprehensive neurological examination using standard neurological tests and diagnostics including VNG, computerized dynamic posturography, tremorscopic testing. He had memory and cognitive issues, sensorimotor deficiencies, posterior center of pressure (PCOP), Myerson’s sign, tachycardia, positive dual tasking and Fukuda, and abnormal abdominal sounds. The patient had balance and incoordination issues. He also had slow saccadic movements, aberrant vertical to horizontal optokinetic. He also had irregular pursuits, with loss of gaze. A slow systemic Functional Neurology and Organ Remapping approach was implemented using various pre and post ganglionic procedures, visual, auditory, vestibular, sensory and motor applications, brain based activities, cerebellar activation, complex therapeutic activities, home instructions and dietary changes. Results Faulty pathways lead to misfiring and signal mismatch. Functional Neurology addresses different faulty pathways which lead to brain plasticity, remapping and proto oncogene in the nucleotide sequence. It’s been diagnostically determined that through specific and gradual applications in Functional Neurology and Organ Remapping the patient’s IBS was contained. In 10 treatment days, the patient IBS and all other symptoms were resolved. He enjoys a normal life with his friends, able to eat regular, and has resumed work as a programmer.

Autism/Asperger�s Coupled with Depression and Digestive Disorders: Diagnosis and Applications of Functional Neurology

Event Abstract Back to Event Autism/Asperger’s Coupled with Depression and Digestive Disorders: Diagnosis and Applications of Functional Neurology Dr. Gil S. Jaudy1* 1 JTC, United States The patient is a 14-year-old female who presents with long-standing history of depression, anxiety, lack of focus, anger, seclusion, eating disorder, fatigue, no motivation, and repetitive patterns of behavior. The patient’s parents reported that their daughter can stay in her room for days without any interaction with them or her brother and sister. They said that her family doctor put her on Tylenol since 2011. They parents were extremely concerned and bewildered regarding their daughter’s condition. Methods A comprehensive neurological examination was done, using standard neurological tests and diagnostics including VNG, computerized dynamic posturography, tremorscopic testing. VOR was absent, pursuits irregular with saccadic intrusions, positive Moro, Spinal Galant, and ATNR reflexes, positive dual tasking (freezing), poor memory and cognition, very emotional and angry, posterior center of pressure (PCOP). The patient had balance and incoordination issues. She also had slow saccadic movements in various planes, and aberrant vertical to horizontal optokinetic. A slow systemic Functional Neurology approach was implemented using various visual, auditory, vestibular, sensory and motor applications, brain based activities, cerebellar activation, complex therapeutic activities, home instructions and dietary changes. Results The patient’s VOR was restored to normal within the first 2 days of treatment. In two weeks the patient verbal communication and eye contact improved 85% and was able to digest better. Functional Neurology addresses different faulty pathways which lead to brain plasticity. It’s been diagnostically determined that through specific and gradual applications in Functional Neurology the patient’s depression disorder, Autistic/Asperger’s spectrum is resolved. Today, the patient enjoys normal life with her family and friends, is interested in art and has composed and presented our facility with a fine artistic portrait of the brain.
