Neurological symptoms in Wilson's disease (WD) may include oculomotor abnormalities. However, to date, eye movements in WD patients were rarely investigated and the data concerning this issue are sparse. The purpose of this study was to evaluate reflexive and voluntary eye movements in WD patients. We examined horizontal saccadic and smooth pursuit eye movements using infra‐red oculography in 50 WD patients, including 29 neurologically symptomatic (WDn) and 21 asymptomatic ones (WDa), and in 29 healthy controls. We found statistically significant increase in mean antisaccadic latency (378 ms) and in mean antisaccadic error rate (22.5) in the WDn group, when compared with WDa group (317 ms and 9.1, respectively) and controls (318 ms and 9.7, respectively). In contrast, there were no statistically significant differences in mean latency of prosaccades and in size of the gap effect. Patients with neurological manifestations had also abnormal smooth pursuit—increased number of saccadic intrusions (mean: 8.6) and decreased gain (mean: 0.69) comparing with WDa patients (4.1 and 0.83, respectively) and controls (2.2 and 0.91, respectively). The data suggest that WD is associated both with impairment of voluntary control of saccades and with disturbed smooth pursuit eye movements while reflexive saccades seem to be preserved. © 2008 Movement Disorder Society 相似文献

Background
The lack of motivation of health workers to practice in rural areas remains a crucial problem for decision-makers, as it deprives the majority of access to health care. To solve the problem, many countries have implemented health worker retention strategies. However, the development of such strategies requires an understanding of the preferences of health workers. The objective of the study was to identify a package for attracting and retaining health workers in underserved areas.Methods
A cross sectional study was conducted in three health regions of Burkina Faso in 2012. A discrete choice experiment was used to investigate preferences for incentive packages among health workers recruited under the regionalized policy. In-depth interviews and focus group discussions with health workers currently working in the East and Sahel regions and policy makers, and a literature review on attraction and retention in low income countries, were performed to identify the attributes and levels. These attributes were: the regionalized recruitment policy, health insurance, work equipment, housing, and specific incentive compensation. The final design resulted in 16 choice sets. A multinomial logistic regression was used to determine the influence of socio-demographic characteristics on choice of a given option. A probit logistic regression model was then used to analyze the effect of these difference variables on choice, to identify the incentive package best suited to health workers. In total, questionnaires were administered to 315 regional health workers.Results
For all participants, choice of package was strongly influenced by length of commitment under the policy and provision of housing. Sex, number of years in profession, and location also influenced the choice of package. Women are twice more likely to choose a package with free housing and the cancellation of the policy.Conclusion
It is important that governments consider health worker preferences in crafting policies to address attraction and retention in underserved areas. In addition, the methodology of discrete choice experiment has been particularly useful, not only for better understanding the factors explaining the reluctance of health workers to work in underserved areas, but also to provide practical advice to the government, to improve its retention policy.75.

A survey of ectoparasites on rodents was carried out bimonthly from April 2008 to March 2009 in 3 districts of Sukhothai Province, northern Thailand. A total of 130 rodents comprising 8 species of hosts were captured and examined for ectoparasites. The hosts examined were Bandicota indica, Bandicota savilei, Rattus losea, Rattus rattus, Rattus exulans, Rattus norvegicus, Menetes berdmorei and Tamiops mcclellandii. Ninety-seven ectoparasites were collected: 1 species of tick (Hemaphysalis bandicota), 2 species of mites (Laelaps nuttali and Laelaps echidninus), and 1 species of flea (Xenopsylla cheopis) were identified. The infestation rates by ticks, mites and fleas on the rodents were 0.77, 5.38 and 6.15%, respectively. Monitoring the rodent population and their ectoparasites is important for future planning of prevention and control of zoonotic diseases in the area. 相似文献

Behcet's disease (BD) is a rare condition which is diagnosed clinically. Only few cases have been reported in sub‐Saharan Africa. We report a Tanzanian male who presented with typical features of BD and was successfully treated. There should be an increase in awareness on BD to improve the management. 相似文献
