Reduced accommodative function in dyskinetic cerebral palsy: a novel management strategy

DEVELOPMENTAL MEDICINE & CHILD NEUROLOGY, Issue 10 2000
Linda M Ross MBCh B MRCP MRCPCH
A9-year-old boy with dyskinetic cerebral palsy secondary to neonatal encephalopathy is described. He presented with blurring of near vision which had begun to impact on his school work. Objective assessment of accommodation showed that very little was present, although convergence was almost normal. The near-vision symptoms were completely removed and reading dramatically improved with the provision of varifocal spectacles. Varifocal lenses provide an optimal correction for far, intermediate (i.e. for computer screens), and near distances (i.e. for reading). Managing this type of patient with varifocal spectacles has not been previously reported. It is clearly very important to prescribe an optimal spectacle correction to provide clear vision to optimize learning. [source]

Continuously improving PSM effectiveness,A practical roadmap

PROCESS SAFETY PROGRESS, Issue 2 2006
Steve Arendt Vice President
Abstract PSM practices and formal management systems have been in place in many companies for more than 20 years. PSM is widely credited for perceived reductions in major accident risk and in improved chemical industry performance. Nevertheless, many companies continue to be challenged by resource pressures, inadequate management system audit results, and stagnant process safety incident performance. While most companies claim to advocate Continuous Improvement, few have actually put substance into these words and succeeded in practice. This is partly because there is no clear vision of what PSM performance and continuous improvement are. This article defines the following function: PSM Effectiveness = f [PSM performance + PSM efficiency] Continuous improvement can address performance issues or efficiency issues or both. Companies are seeking new ways to improve process safety management activities. This article defines these terms and gives examples and lessons that show ways companies are improving performance, efficiency, and effectiveness. © American Institute of Chemical Engineers Process Saf Prog, 2006 [source]
