1) Visual disturbances can be caused by lesions along the optic tracts or oculomotor pathways in the brain.
2) MRI is the primary imaging modality used to identify lesions, with protocols directed by clinical findings. Small lesions can have significant effects.
3) Examples include posterior optic nerve edema after head trauma causing immediate visual loss, and left optic tract atrophy found on MRI explaining old right homonymous lateral hemianopia from prior severe head trauma.
Careful analysis of MRI images is important since lesions may be very small.

Extraocular muscles
How to examine for ocular motility
Ophthalmoplegia
Diplopia and related disorders
Gaze pathway
How to examine for gaze
Gaze palsy
Types of eye movements
How to examine for EM
Nystagmus and non nystagmus ocular oscillation
This talk was given by Richard Gault on 18/11/15 at Hilton, Templepatrick, at the BAA training day on Tinnitus. This talk outlines a summary of some of the objective correlates of tinnitus found along the auditory system; from cochlea to cortex.
Transient loss of vision is common clinical problem that ophthalmologists and neurologists can face. This presentation will highlight clinical approach and important causes with management.

Neuroimaging plays a critical role in the evaluation of patients with traumatic brain injury
CT: first-line of imaging
MR imaging being recommended in specific settings
MR imaging DTI, blood oxygen level–dependent fMRI, MR spectroscopy, perfusion imaging are of particular interest in identifying further injury CT and MRI are normal, as well as for prognostication in patients with persistent symptoms
However, it is an invasive procedure that is not straightforward to perform so is often reserved as a problem-solving tool when both the aortic root and valve are the prime source of interest.
These lecture slides, by Dr Sidra Arshad, offer a quick overview of the physiological basis of a normal electrocardiogram.
Learning objectives:
1. Define an electrocardiogram (ECG) and electrocardiography
2. Describe how dipoles generated by the heart produce the waveforms of the ECG
3. Describe the components of a normal electrocardiogram of a typical bipolar lead (limb II)
4. Differentiate between intervals and segments
5. Enlist some common indications for obtaining an ECG
6. Describe the flow of current around the heart during the cardiac cycle
7. Discuss the placement and polarity of the leads of electrocardiograph
8. Describe the normal electrocardiograms recorded from the limb leads and explain the physiological basis of the different records that are obtained
9. Define mean electrical vector (axis) of the heart and give the normal range
10. Define the mean QRS vector
11. Describe the axes of leads (hexagonal reference system)
12. Comprehend the vectorial analysis of the normal ECG
13. Determine the mean electrical axis of the ventricular QRS and appreciate the mean axis deviation
14. Explain the concepts of current of injury, J point, and their significance

CDSCO and Phamacovigilance {Regulatory body in India}NEHA GUPTA
The Central Drugs Standard Control Organization (CDSCO) is India's national regulatory body for pharmaceuticals and medical devices. Operating under the Directorate General of Health Services, Ministry of Health & Family Welfare, Government of India, the CDSCO is responsible for approving new drugs, conducting clinical trials, setting standards for drugs, controlling the quality of imported drugs, and coordinating the activities of State Drug Control Organizations by providing expert advice.
Pharmacovigilance, on the other hand, is the science and activities related to the detection, assessment, understanding, and prevention of adverse effects or any other drug-related problems. The primary aim of pharmacovigilance is to ensure the safety and efficacy of medicines, thereby protecting public health.
In India, pharmacovigilance activities are monitored by the Pharmacovigilance Programme of India (PvPI), which works closely with CDSCO to collect, analyze, and act upon data regarding adverse drug reactions (ADRs). Together, they play a critical role in ensuring that the benefits of drugs outweigh their risks, maintaining high standards of patient safety, and promoting the rational use of medicines.

27. TO SEE and TO LOOK AT: what else ?
Imaging is mainly performed with MRI
The protocol must be directed by clinical data.
Analysis of the images should be
Careful, as the lesion may be very small
Demanding, based on a confident relationship with
patient and technician to avoid movement artifacts et
protocol errors
Vision : differentiation between anterior and posterior (behind
the optic chiasm) optic pathways.
Oculomotricity, don’t forget to have a look at the orbital
components.
And small lesion big effects.
