Cine MRI of the wrist is a fast and reliable technique for the detection of SLD with diagnostic accuracy comparable to cineradiography. It can be easily implemented as a routine clinical MRI examination, facilitating diagnostic workup of patients with suspected SLD while avoiding radiation exposure.

Previous studies have demonstrated that vergence adaptation resulting from the prolonged decay of slow fusional vergence may prevent the accurate assessment of oculomotor deviations. Continuing changes in heterophoria have been reported after 27 days of monocular occlusion. However, since most slow fusional vergence will decay within the first few minutes of dissociation, a clinical assessment of both vergence adaptation and heterophoria could be made more rapidly. This report documents two investigations which examined changes in near horizontal heterophoria during 30 min and 180 min of continuous dissociation, respectively. Seven out ot the 16 subjects exhibited significant changes in heterophoria during the 30 min dissociation period, with a mean increase in exophoria of 3.4 1. The decay of slow fusional vergence took approximately 25 min to reach completion. Thus in the clinical setting, both the degree of vergence adaptation and a more accurate assessment of heterophoria may be obtained by maintaining dissociation for 25 min. Furthermore, the presence of vergence adaptation can be assessed after just 5 min of dissociation.

The results confirmed previous findings that FDT perimetry can be dramatically affected by variations in retinal illuminance. Application of a quantitative adaptation model provided guidelines for estimating effects of pupil diameter and lens density on FDT perimetry.

Seven out of the 16 subjects exhibited significant changes in heterophoria during the 30 min dissociation period, with a mean increase in exophoria of 3.4 delta. The decay of slow fusional vergence took approximately 25 min to reach completion. Thus in the clinical setting, both the degree of vergence adaptation and a more accurate assessment of heterophoria may be obtained by maintaining dissociation for 25 min. Furthermore, the presence of vergence adaptation can be assessed after just 5 min of dissociation.

Background and Aims: While some articles describe outcome of pregnancy in autoimmune hepatitis (AIH), there are less data evaluating influence of AIH control on maternal and perinatal outcomes. This study analysed outcomes of pregnancy and related possible risk factors in AIH. Method:A retrospective multicentre cohort study on pregnancy in AIH was performed in 11 hospitals in the Netherlands. Maternal and neonatal outcomes were collected from records and completed by interview. Risk factors-including incomplete response, relapse and cirrhosis-for adverse outcomes were identified using logistic regression analysis.Results: Ninety-seven pregnancies in 50 women resulted in 70 deliveries (72%) with a live birth rate of 98.5%. AIH relapse occurred in 6% during pregnancy, and in 27% of How to cite this article: Fischer SE, de Vries ES, Tushuizen ME, et al.
