Spatial-temporal patterns of retinal waves underlying activity-dependent refinement of retinofugal projections.

27 Oct 2009 During development, retinal axons project coarsely within their visual targets before refining to form organized synaptic connections. Spontaneous retinal activity, in the form of acetylcholine-driven retinal waves, is proposed to be necessary for ... Read more...


[Value of colour Doppler ultrasonography in relation to clinical pretest probability in giant cell (temporal) arteritis]

4 Oct 2009 BACKGROUND: Colour Doppler sonography (CDS) is an established technique in the diagnosis of giant-cell (temporal) arteritis (GCA). The predictive value of its diagnostic criteria for GCA (halo sign or stenosis) is related to the pretest probability ... Read more...
