Ecological Disturbance02:26

Ecological Disturbance

20.7K
An ecological disturbance is a temporary disruption in the environment resulting from abiotic, biotic, or anthropogenic factors, causing a pronounced change in an ecosystem. The impact of an ecological disturbance, which can depend on its intensity, frequency, and spatial distribution, plays a significant role in shaping the species diversity within the ecosystem.

Disturbances in Heart Rhythm01:29

Disturbances in Heart Rhythm

2.6K
Arrhythmia or dysrhythmia refers to an abnormal heart rhythm caused by a defect in the heart's conduction system. It can cause the heart to beat irregularly, too quickly, or too slowly, leading to symptoms like chest pain, shortness of breath, and fainting. Factors such as stress, caffeine, alcohol, nicotine, cocaine, certain drugs, congenital defects, diseases, and electrolyte abnormalities can trigger arrhythmias.
Arrhythmias are categorized by their speed, rhythm, and origin. A slow heart...

Visual System01:26

Visual System

1.7K
Light enters the eye through the cornea, a transparent, dome-shaped surface covering the surface of the eyeball that helps to direct and focus incoming light. This light is then channeled toward the pupil, an adjustable opening whose size is controlled by the iris. The iris, a pigmented muscle, regulates the amount of light entering the eye by contracting or dilating the pupil, thereby ensuring optimal light levels for clear vision.
Once through the pupil, the light passes through the lens, a...

Visual Agnosia01:12

Visual Agnosia

1000
Visual agnosia is a condition characterized by the inability to recognize visually presented objects despite having normal vision. For instance, a person with visual agnosia can describe the shape and color of an object but cannot identify or name it. This impairment does not affect their visual field, acuity, color vision, brightness discrimination, language, or memory. An example of this condition in a social setting is someone at a dinner party asking for "that silver thing with a round...

Photoreceptors and Visual Pathways01:22

Photoreceptors and Visual Pathways

8.8K
At the molecular level, visual signals trigger transformations in photopigment molecules, resulting in changes in the photoreceptor cell's membrane potential. The photon's energy level is denoted by its wavelength, with each specific wavelength of visible light associated with a distinct color. The spectral range of visible light, classified as electromagnetic radiation, spans from 380 to 720 nm. Electromagnetic radiation wavelengths exceeding 720 nm fall under the infrared category,...

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Ophthalmology
  • Sports Medicine

Background:

  • Ocular dysfunction, including eye movement deficits, affects up to 69% of concussion patients.
  • Standard concussion assessments often overlook ocular system examinations.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To educate general practitioners (GPs) on concussion-related ocular defects.
  • To outline diagnostic procedures for ocular dysfunction post-concussion.
  • To emphasize the crucial role of GPs in concussion management.

Main Methods:

  • Review of common ocular dysfunctions associated with concussion.
  • Identification of relevant clinical tests for ocular assessment.
  • Discussion of referral pathways for persistent ocular symptoms.

Main Results:

  • Common ocular dysfunctions include abnormalities in accommodation, convergence, saccades, and smooth pursuits.
  • Symptoms may manifest as blurred vision, double vision, ocular pain, and difficulty with near tasks.
  • These visual disturbances can significantly impair daily activities.

Conclusions:

  • Ocular dysfunction is a frequent complication of concussion.
  • GPs play a vital role in recognizing and managing these visual issues.
  • Prompt referral to ophthalmologists is essential for patients with persistent ocular symptoms.
