Symposium on clinical neurophysiology of vision and on eye movements

The main topics of the Symposium were: electrophysiology of vision, retinal diseases, diseases of the visual pathway, rational use of electrophysiology of vision in clinical practice, electrophysiology of vision in children, the anatomy and physiology of eye movements, diagnostic investigation of the eye movement disorders, diseases of the external eye muscles, and disorders of the eye blinking. Part of the meeting were also practical demonstrations of electrodiagnostic studies and of clinical examination of eye movements. The number of active participants was 29 (18 from Slovenia).

Motor unit microphysiology

Motor neuron together with its innervated muscle fibers constitutes a motor unit. Motor unit functions as an entity, and result of its activity is voluntary movement. In a lecture motor unit physiology was presented on a molecular and cellular level. Membrane and action potentials, integration of activity on motor neuron, conduction of the action potentials along the motor axon, neuromuscular transmission and electromechanical coupling in the muscle were presented.

Neurologic and neurophysiologic testing of male and female sexual function

Sexual function is complex and neurally controlled. Dysfunction is manifold, most often non-neurogenic. However, even when neuro/physio/logic proofs of deficits are demonstrated, they do not define details of dysfunction. Neuro/physi/logic diagnostics is presented with special emphasis on potential pitfalls.

Jitter study with axonal stimulation

In cases of suspected myasthenia gravis, we recommend to perform stimulation SFEMG jitter study as the initial test. Orbicularis oculi or another facial muscle, or deltoid in patients with predominantly limb symptoms is selected as the first choice. Most patients have clearly abnormal jitter. In borderline abnormality, the number of outliers is a more reliable criterion than the mean jitter value from a sample of 30-60 end-plates. In a series of 159 consecutive patients diagnosed as having myasthenia gravis, there were no false positive or false negative results on their first presentation.
