Are blind subjects implanted with the Argus II retinal prosthesis able to improve performance in a spatial-motor task?
In a study on the largest cohort of visual prosthesis recipients to date, we found that artificial vision augments information from existing vision in a spatial-motor task. Clinical trials registry no NCT00407602.
This study demonstrates that the antioxidant status of guinea pig bladders exposed to outlet obstruction decreased which might be associated with the observed reduction in nerve density. The results strengthen the hypothesis that oxidative stress is involved in the pathophysiology of bladder dysfunction related to obstructed bladders. Neurourol. Urodynam. 28:461-467, 2009.
