Prior studies indicate that the human translational vestibulo-ocular reflex (tVOR) generates eye rotations approximately half the magnitude required to keep the line of sight pointed at a stationary object--a compensation ratio (CR) of ∼0.5. We asked whether changes of visual or vestibular stimuli could increase the CR of tVOR. First, subjects viewed their environment through an optical device that required eye movements to increase by ∼50% to maintain fixation of a stationary visual target. During vertical translation, eye movements did increase, but tVOR CR remained at ∼0...

We studied the translational vestibulo-ocular reflex (tVOR) in four healthy human subjects during complex, unpredictable sum-of-sines head motion (combination of 0.73, 1.33, 1.93, and 2.93 Hz), while subjects viewed a target 15 cm away. Ideal eye velocity was calculated from recorded head motion; actual eye velocity was measured with scleral coils. The gain and phase for each frequency component was determined by least-squares optimization. Gain averaged approximately 40% and did not change with frequency; phase lag increased with frequency to a maximum of 66°...

Translational motion induces retinal image slip which varies with object distance. The brain must know binocular eye position in real time in order to scale eye movements so as to minimize retinal slip. Two potential sources of eye position information are orbital proprioception and an internal representation of eye position derived from central ocular motor signals. To examine the role of orbital proprioceptive information, the position of the left eye was perturbed by microstimulation of the left abducens nerve during translational motion to the right or left along the interaural axis in two rhesus macaques...

BACKGROUND: Severe postovum retrieval complications such as tuboovarian abscess are rare. We present an early pelvic infection case following egg retrieval. CASE: A 31-year-old woman with unexplained infertility developed early pelvic infection subsequent to transvaginal oocyte retrieval (TVOR). Broad spectrum antibiotics were administered. Upon persistence of fever and ultrasonographic appearance of probable abscess, transvaginal ultrasound-guided drainage was performed on post-TVOR day 9 as well as posterior colpotomy and T-drain replacement into the cul de sac...

BACKGROUND: The otolith-driven translational vestibulo-ocular reflex (tVOR) generates compensatory eye movements to linear head accelerations. Studies in humans indicate that the cerebellum plays a critical role in the neural control of the tVOR, but little is known about mechanisms of this control or the functions of specific cerebellar structures. Here, we chose to investigate the contribution of the nodulus and uvula, which have been shown by prior studies to be involved in the processing of otolith signals in other contexts...

PURPOSE: During locomotion, head perturbations, consisting of rotations and translations (linear movements), occur with predominant frequencies of 0.5-5.0 Hz. The vestibular reflexes act at short latency to safeguard clear vision and stable posture during locomotion. Much is known about the angular vestibulo-ocular reflex (aVOR) in response to head rotations, which depend on the semicircular canals of the vestibular labyrinth. However, the means to test reliably the linear or translational vestibulo-ocular reflex (tVOR), which depends on the otolithic organs, has only become available more recently...

Geometric considerations indicate that the human translational vestibulo-ocular reflex (tVOR) should have substantially different properties than the angular vestibulo-ocular reflex (aVOR). Specifically, tVOR cannot simultaneously stabilize images of distant and near objects on the retina. Most studies make the tacit assumption that tVOR acts to stabilize foveal images even though, in humans, tVOR is reported to compensate for less than 60% of foveal image motion. We have determined that the compensation gain (eye rotational velocity/required eye rotational velocity to maintain foveal target fixation) of tVOR is held steady at approximately 0...

In a prior study we reported that the human translational vestibulo-ocular reflex (tVOR) in response to vertical (bob) 2 Hz oscillations generated eye rotations of only 60% of those required to keep the eyes pointed at a stationary visual target, whether located at near (approximately 17 cm) or far (2 m). Best responses occurred in ambient illumination and we concluded that relative image motion between the target and background was an important determinant of tVOR behaviour. To investigate further how visual conditions influenced tVOR, we measured responses as subjects binocularly viewed the bridge of their own nose in a mirror at approximately 8...

The limited availability of gametes is a major factor hindering the development and application of assisted reproductive technologies (ART) in large non-domestic ungulates. This is partly due to the small number of captive animals and handling difficulties associated with procedures for gamete recovery. In the present study, results are reported of multi-year studies on ovarian stimulation and oocyte retrieval by ultrasonographic-guided transvaginal follicular aspiration and subsequent in vitro maturation (IVM) in eland and bongo antelopes...

BACKGROUND: Patients with progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) fall frequently, beginning early in the course of their disease. Abnormal vestibulospinal reflexes are suspected, but the angular vestibulo-ocular reflex, which is mediated by the labyrinthine semicircular canals, survives late into the course of the disease. OBJECTIVE: To test the hypothesis that otolithic-mediated reflexes are abnormal in PSP. METHODS: We tested otolith-ocular reflexes (the translational vestibulo-ocular reflex [tVOR]) during combined rotation-translation in nine patients with PSP and nine age-matched control subjects; subjects viewed far and near targets...

Prior studies of the human translational vestibulo-ocular reflex (tVOR) report that eye rotations amount to less than 60% of those required to keep the eyes pointed at a stationary visual target, unlike the angular VOR (aVOR) which is optimized to maintain stable gaze. Our first goal was to determine if the performance of the tVOR improves when head translations are combined with head rotations in ambient lighting. A second goal was to measure tVOR during vertical head translations (bob), which has not received systematic study...

Ultrasound-guided transvaginal oocyte retrieval (TVOR) is a relatively simple and atraumatic method with rare complications as well as the possibility of doing it under sedation. It has become the method of choice in most IVF centres, because it results in excellent oocyte yields, with increased speed and excellent follicle and major pelvic vessel visualization, thereby decreasing the probability of vessel puncture [1]. However, the technique is not without risk such as pelvic infection, bleeding secondary a blood vessel puncture or pelvic visceral trauma...

An eye position signal scales the amplitude of compensatory eye velocity in the translational vestibulo-ocular reflex (TVOR). To investigate the origin of such a modulatory signal, we studied the kinematics of the fore-aft TVOR as rhesus monkeys pursued a horizontally moving target at velocities between 0.5 and 30 degrees /s. We found that the "V-shaped" curve of the fore-aft TVOR amplitude as a function of eye position was shifted opposite to the direction of pursuit eye movement. As a result, the tip of the V-shaped curve that occurred close to zero eye position during steady-state fixation was shifted to the right during leftward pursuit and to the left during rightward pursuit eye movements...

To stabilize objects of interest on the fovea during translation, vestibular-driven compensatory eye movements [translational vestibulo-ocular reflex (TVOR)] must scale with both target distance and eccentricity. To identify the neural correlates of these properties, we recorded from different groups of eye movement-sensitive neurons in the prepositus hypoglossi and vestibular nuclei of macaque monkeys during lateral and fore-aft displacements. All neuron types exhibited some increase in modulation amplitude as a function of target distance during high-frequency (4 Hz) lateral motion in darkness, with slopes that were correlated with the cell's pursuit gain, but not eye position sensitivity...
