    Objective: To evaluate the visual attention of children with migraine and compare to the headache free control group. Method: 30 children with migraine, with (n=5) and without aura (n=25), which fulfill the gInternational Headache Society (ICHD-II, 2004) h criteria, 15 female, ages 8 to 12 years and 11 months (average=10.8 }1.5 years), with an average of 5.8 } 3.2 attacks/month, lasting up to 24 hours, and 30 control subjects without headache, 14 female, average age 9,9 }1.3 years. Method of assessment of visual attention: Trail Making Test (TMT) A/B, Letter Cancellation Test, and the computerized test Visual Attention Test . 3rd edition (TAVIS-3) which evaluates reaction time, omission and action errors through subtests of selective (task1), alternate (task2), and sustained attention (task3). Migraine group were evaluated after two days without headache. Exclusion criteria: other systemic diseases, altered neurological examination, psychiatric disorders, learning disorders, epilepsy, head trauma, use of medication (including migraine prophylaxis), and an Intelligence Quotient (IQ) < 80, measured by Wechsler Intelligence Scale 3rd edition. Statistical analysis: Student fs t test and Mann-Whitney fs test, Confidence Interval of 95% (p.0.05). Results: Children with migraine had inferior performance compared to the control group on TMT A (p=0.03) and B (p=0.001), and more action errors on tasks 1 (p=0.032) and 2 (p=0.015) of TAVIS-3, presenting difficulty with selective and alternate attention. Discussion: Attention is a complex neurologic function which depends on structures such as the brain stem, cerebral cortex, and the limbic system and on neurotransmitters such as dopamine and noradrenaline. Conclusion: The neurochemical aspects involved in the physiopathology of migraine and attention mechanisms probably predispose these children to visual attention deficits.

    Preoperative automatic visual behavioural analysis as a tool for intraocular lens choice in cataract surgery
    (Consel Brasil Oftalmologia, 2015-03-01) Nogueira, Heloisa Neumann; Alves, Monica; Schor, Paulo [UNIFESP]; Pontificia Univ Catolica Campinas PUCCAMP; Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP)
    Purpose: Cataract is the main cause of blindness, affecting 18 million people worldwide, with the highest incidence in the population above 50 years of age. Low visual acuity caused by cataract may have a negative impact on patient quality of life. the current treatment is surgery in order to replace the natural lens with an artificial intraocular lens (IOL), which can be mono- or multifocal. However, due to potential side effects, IOLs must be carefully chosen to ensure higher patient satisfaction. Thus, studies on the visual behavior of these patients may be an important tool to determine the best type of IOL implantation. This study proposed an anamnestic add-on for optimizing the choice of IOL.Methods: We used a camera that automatically takes pictures, documenting the patient's visual routine in order to obtain additional information about the frequency of distant, intermediate, and near sights.Results: the results indicated an estimated frequency percentage, suggesting that visual analysis of routine photographic records of a patient with cataract may be useful for understanding behavioural gaze and for choosing visual management strategy after cataract surgery, simultaneously stimulating interest for customized IOL manufacturing according to individual needs.
