He underwent experimental surgery by surgeon William Beecher Scoville in 1953 to alleviate the seizures. The seizures were so debilitating that he had to quit his job at the age of 27. During his childhood, he suffered from severe epileptic seizures. There is no medication required to treat TGA.Patient HM is an infamous case referenced throughout cognitive psychology and neuroscience. If TGA felt to be the most likely cause then patients are usually counseled and provided with some reassurance. Patients may be referred to a neurologist for an opinion. TGA is usually a benign condition, and no specific treatment is required. Routine blood work, including electrolytes, white blood cell count, hemoglobin (to assess for anemia) as well as some blood work such as, a toxicology (drug) screen, and imaging of the brain by CT scan, MRI, and electroencephalogram (EEG) to assess for seizures may all be used to assess for or exclude other causes of memory disturbance. No abnormality of physical examination and labs (see below).Clinical presentation: Sudden loss of memory, in a fully conscious individual, that is transient and recovers fully.Neurological examination: A brief assessment of memory plus evaluation of speech, vision, muscle tone, strength and reflexes, gait, posture, and balance.Vital signs: Blood pressure, heart rate, temperature, respirations.Potential exposure to infectious organisms (e.g.Psychiatric history (depression, anxiety, bipolar).Prior history of seizures, migraine, stroke, and dementia.Unusual emotional or physical stress/strain.They continue to be amnestic for the event, or at best have an only sketchy memory of the event When the symptoms begin to clear up, the patient’s memory is usually restored completely (sometimes within minutes).Usually, there are no other symptoms, such as weakness, speech or vision problems.Is unable to recall the episode of memory loss once recovered.Asks the same questions repeatedly because she or he does not remember the answer.newborn grandchild), if their association with the patient is within the period of retrograde memory loss Personal identity and recognition of familiar objects or people are often retained, although the patient may not recognize recently acquired objects or people (e.g.The memory loss is often described as “confusion”, as it is not apparent to witnesses why the individual suddenly cannot recall specific events.For some, the memory disturbance might be a few days, while others may have memory loss for months or even years The extent is variable from patient to patient.

Rhule said that after learning the extent of Darnold's injury on Tuesday, he got with Fitterer to look at options, with the understanding that P.J. ![]() The Panthers (4-5) began searching for options at quarterback after starter Sam Darnold suffered a shoulder injury Sunday that will sideline him four to six weeks. They began a new regime with coach Matt Rhule at that time. The Panthers, who selected Newton with the first overall pick in the 2011 draft, released him following the 2019 season after he had struggled for several years with shoulder and foot injuries. "It was more about what are we going to do now moving forward and what is Cam's role and how can he help us and what can we do to support him.'' "We had a heartfelt, sincere discussion with him and it wasn't about anything in the past,'' general manager Scott Fitterer said. It's that energy the Panthers hope to harness to possibly make a playoff run. "But within the locker room he brings a different energy.'' "Everybody knows Cam as a superstar,'' said wide receiver DJ Moore, one of about a dozen players who were on the team when Newton last played here in 2019. He is expected to address the media on Friday, but his presence already was felt around Charlotte and at the stadium. Newton, who celebrated touchdowns with his signature "Superman'' move for nine seasons with the Panthers, was unavailable for comment Thursday as he began meeting with coaches after passing his physical. "There's a lot of important people in South Carolina and North Carolina, but Cam Newton is probably right up there at the top two or top one,'' he said. ![]() Newton's return created a buzz around the Carolinas that cornerback Stephon Gilmore, who grew up in nearby Rock Hill, South Carolina, and played with Newton the past year and a half in New England, understands better than most. The deal is worth up to $10 million for the remainder of the season, including $4.5 million guaranteed and a $1.5 million roster bonus, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter. "Superman," the sequel, began for the Carolina Panthers on Thursday when quarterback Cam Newton returned to the team he led to the Super Bowl in 2015 with a one-year contract.

We applaud Representatives Rosa DeLauro and Brian Fitzpatrick for their work to make access to necessary breast imaging more affordable and accessible.” “The Find It Early Act means more breast cancers can be caught earlier because people will no longer be forced to pay out of pocket for this testing. This has often resulted in delayed diagnosis, whether they need the imaging due to a high risk of breast cancer, a previous breast cancer diagnosis or as follow-up to a suspicious finding on a screening mammogram,” said Molly Guthrie, Vice President of Policy and Advocacy at Susan G. “For far too long, we have made people pay hundreds to thousands of dollars to access the vital breast imaging they require. DeLauro that will improve access to life saving screenings and increase the chances for early detection for all women.” “I am proud to introduce this bipartisan legislation alongside Rep. “The Find It Early Act is a step in the right direction towards preventing and eliminating breast cancer across the country,” said Congressman Brian Fitzpatrick. I am incredibly thankful to Congresswoman DeLauro and Congressman Fitzpatrick for joining with me in this effort to save millions of lives.” The Find It Early Act is a critical step toward bettering access to these life-saving screenings. That is why everyone needs to get screened. “Breast cancer is treatable, and 99 percent of women who are diagnosed early survive. We must strengthen breast cancer awareness, specifically for women with dense breasts like me,” said Katie Couric. I feel incredibly fortunate that I was diagnosed early, but so many women find out too late. On June 21, 2022, - that became my reality. “Like one in eight women, I was diagnosed with breast cancer. That is why today I am introducing the Find It Early Act, which would mandate all insurance providers to cover additional screenings including diagnostic mammograms, breast ultrasounds, and breast MRIs, with no cost-sharing.” “ As we all know, when it comes to surviving cancer, early detection is key – as 99 percent of women who receive an early diagnosis survive it. “It means a great deal to me to join Katie Couric, Congressman Fitzpatrick, and all of the breast cancer advocates here to talk about what we must do to detect breast cancer early and save women’s lives,” said Congresswoman Rosa DeLauro. This bill would ensure all health insurance plans cover screening and diagnostic mammograms and breast ultrasounds and MRIs with no cost-sharing. Today, Congresswoman Rosa DeLauro (CT-03), Congressman Brian Fitzpatrick (PA-01), and award-winning journalist Katie Couric introduced their legislation, the Find It Early Act. ![]() ![]() This technique (Santamaria, Artal et al., 1987) is based on projecting a point source on the retina and recording the reflected image after double pass through the eye with a camera conjugated with the retina. Since the PSF contains all the relevant information from both aberrations and scatter, it has been a long history trying to directly record it in the living eye (Campbell & Gubisch, 1966 Flamant, 1955) using the ophthalmoscopic or double-pass approach. In general, scattered light reduces retinal image quality due to a decrease in the contrast of the retinal images. An example of such a condition is the visual environment during night driving. In particular, light scattering may have a significant impact on retinal image contrast when the eye is observing scenes in which bright light sources are present. It was also shown that is also possible that scatter and aberration may interact to produce an improved retinal image (Perez, Manzanera, & Artal, 2009). Although aberrations and scatter are often treated separately due to their different origin, under particular experimental conditions or depending on the visual task, they contribute in combination to the retinal image deterioration. This effect is described by statistical terms (e.g., intensity and angular distribution) rather than by a calculation based on the geometrical characteristics of the eye that can describe quite accurately the aberrations (Tabernero, Berrio, & Artal, 2011). Light scattering is a phenomenon originated from localized (particle-like) irregularities of the refractive index within the ocular media and leads to the spread of the light at larger angles over the retina. The homogeneity of the ocular structures affects the retinal images, although this fact is not usually taken into account when describing the optical quality only in terms of aberrations (Diaz-Douton, Benito et al., 2006). The image of a point source projected onto the retina, the ocular point spread function (PSF), is affected by diffraction in the pupil, aberrations, and scatter. Wavefront sensors provide information on the overall optical quality of the eye through the aberrations. ![]() The study of the eye in terms of its optical quality is approached by analyzing both the geometrical characteristics of the ocular surfaces and the intrinsic properties of the media with which the light interacts when passing through the eye. ![]() The optical quality of the retinal image (Artal, Guirao, Berrio, & Williams, 2001) is the first physical factor influencing visual performance. This procedure allows the direct, accurate, and in vivo measurement of the effect of intraocular scattering and may be a step toward the comprehensive optical evaluation of the optics of the living human eye. Examples of application of the technique in real eyes with different amount of scatter artificially induced are presented. The methodology consists of projecting disks of uniform radiance on the retina, recording the images after reflection and double pass through the eye's optics and performing a proper analysis of the images. We report here a new optical method for the accurate reconstruction of the wide-angle PSF in the living human eye up to 8 degrees. However, the more peripheral areas of the PSF in the living human eye, ranging from about 1 to 10 degrees of eccentricity, have been investigated only psychophysically. The impact of the spatial characteristics of this central part of the PSF on the retinal image quality and visual function has been extensively analyzed and documented both by optical and psychophysical methods. There is a plethora of optical methods for the direct and indirect measurements of the central part of the PSF as a result of monochromatic and polychromatic aberrations. The point spread function (PSF) of the human eye spans over a wide angular distribution where the central part is associated mostly to optical aberrations while the peripheral zones are associated to light scattering. ![]() Once you get your Apple ID password reset, check out the seven things you can do to make your iPhone safer.

So the price bump on the new vehicle may be easier to swallow in the end. And since prices have risen for used cars, too, a customer’s trade-in vehicle will also be worth more, he pointed out. Given their generally low starting prices compared to competing models, Kia customers may not feel too awful about paying a little more, said Chris Sutton, vice president for automotive retail at the consulting firm J.D. The Kia EV6 all-electric car sells for 6.4% above sticker price, according to Edmunds. Models such as the Sportage Hybrid, Sportage Plug-in Hybrid and Sorento Hybrid sell for more than 8% above sticker price. With customers expecting to save money on gas, they’re willing to pay more to purchase the vehicle. With concern growing about fuel prices, after recent spikes, these sorts of vehicles have much higher dealer markups, on average, than gas vehicles, according to Edmunds data. The third factor in why Kia vehicles are selling for so much over sticker price is that Kia sells a relatively large number of hybrid, plug-in hybrid and fully electric car models. “It actually could have been more,” he said, but the car had a few hundred miles on it despite being sold as new. John Grui of Shelby Township, Michigan, said he paid $1,000 over the sticker price in July for his base model Kia Soul. The average, he said, is around 28 days.Įven models that aren’t the hottest things are getting marked up. Kia’s “days’ supply” - a measure of dealerships’ inventory levels balanced against how quickly the vehicles sell - is down to single digits, said Zack Krelle, an industry analyst with TrueCar. Kia Motors AmericaĪdding to the pressure is that, while manufacturing slowdowns have hit the whole industry, Kia models are especially hard to find. ![]() The Carnival minivan has among the highest dealer mark-ups of all Kia models. “You get one of those with Premium Package on it, absolutely, people will fight over that car.” Ben Burton, managing partner of Jackson Kia in Cocoa, Florida, said of the Carnival minivan. Both the Telluride and Carnival sell, on average, for about 7% over sticker price, according to Edmunds. The new Kia Carnival minivan has also been popular, especially since it’s one of only a few such models on the market today. But their pricing power has clearly benefited from Kia America’s marketing and product line-up decisions.Įven before supply chain problems started slowing vehicle production, some Kia models, like the Telluride SUV, were already regularly selling for over sticker price. Instead, he said Kia now markets the design and attributes of the vehicles themselves, such as sportiness and, in the case of electric and hybrid vehicles, technology.Īs with other car brands, Kia dealers are independent businesses that can set their own prices. “We’re not marketing ourselves that way.” “It’s not a question of that Kia might not be a good value because I still think we are,” he said. Kia has also been deliberately working to get away from its image as a brand people buy for the low price, Russell Wager, Kia America’s vice president for marketing, said in a recent interview with CNN Business. “You’re getting a lot, still, for the money even if you’re paying more now or more than for the competitor,” said Ivan Drury, an auto industry sales analyst with. With today’s tight car market, dealers are able to cash in on some of that perceived value. First, it’s a testament to what customers have long found in Kia’s cars and SUVs - a good value for the dollar. There are three main reasons for Kia’s top ranking in dealer price markups. That’s especially remarkable since the average Kia purchase price was about $36,000. Even on a straight dollar amount basis, Kia still ranks second of all car brands in America, with customers paying, on average, $2,183 over sticker. But the average purchase price for a Land Rover SUV in the US is over $94,000. ![]() In dollar terms, Land Rover has the highest dealer markups, with customers paying an average of $3,686 over the sticker price, according to. Roughly tied for second, at 4% above sticker price on average, are Honda, Hyundai and the luxury SUV brand Land Rover. On average, Kia cars and SUVs are selling for about 6% over their sticker price, according to data from. It isn’t some luxury or performance brand it’s Kia, the South Korean car brand usually thought of as a value purchase. But the brand with the highest average percentage markups might be the biggest surprise. This is thanks to high demand paired with hobbled production due to global parts supply problems. ![]() Reversing a century of tradition, most cars now sell for over the manufacturer’s sticker price. ![]() Plus, the fact that the ‘local hero’ wore them.” The style/design of the shoe immediately appealed to me. “I just remember walking into a Nordstrom and seeing them on display and discounted. Bought them in ‘96, but not during launch,” he says. That led him to seek out a pair of the star’s sneakers. “All I knew at the time was to pay attention to some dude named ‘Griffey,’” says Sin, who’s known on NikeTalk and social media as SinnerP, his avatar bearing Griffey’s Swingman logo. To get up to speed on his new home, he studied all things local, including the baseball team. He moved from Hong Kong to attend college in Seattle in 1994, just as Mariners Mania took over the city. The choice was obvious for buyers like Patrick Sin. Not an easy task considering guys like Jordan, Charles Barkley, and Allen Iversonall had signature lines to compete against. ![]() The three launch colorways-the two Mariners uniform-friendly “Freshwater” colors and the more eye-popping “Varsity Royal” pair-stood out on store shelves. Heel and forefoot Max Air put it on par with the tech featured in top models from other categories. An internal bootie and an adjustable ankle strap adorned with The Kid’s number 24 created a secure fit. Initially released in 1996, the Air Griffey Max 1’s design sported an upper mixed with synthetic leather and Durabuck. Griffey’s turf-ready model arrived at a time when Jordans and Nike basketball shoes dominated the market. Teague and company delivered on all of Griffey’s asks. He desired a shoe that could “be fashionable wearing them with jeans I was really adamant about that.” ![]() I think I was really adamant about the strap.”Īny shoe bearing his name needed to be a multipurpose shoe that could go from working out and batting practice to activities away from sports. A big ol’ Swoosh on there, too, and I wanted a strap. I think that was the one thing that I wanted. “At that time, I wanted to be different than everybody else. “Just make it loud,” he told longtime designer Terry Teague, per a 2009 Sole Collector interview. When the time arrived for his first model, Griffey knew the main things he wanted for his shoe. With his charisma and talent, Griffey added new life to the game needed. The big smile and hat turned backward from a young guy playing the game with flair stood out against baseball’s stoic traditions. He also had Nike powering him to megastar status with its savvy marketing.īy the mid-1990s, Griffey’s popularity was sky-high, making him the best option to succeed Bo Jackson and Deion Sanders as the face of Nike’s burgeoning Cross-Training category. It earned him adulation from adults and kids alike. Griffey had it all: skills on the field, a magnetic smile, and endless amounts of swagger. As the son of a pro player, he went from number one pick in 1987 to 13-time All-Star, winner of 10 Gold Gloves, 1997 AL MVP, and the first Mariner to enter Cooperstown. And his sneaker line is still one of the most storied in footwear.įor Griffey, the story started on the field. The man affectionately known as “The Kid” may have been the closest thing to Michael Jordan that baseball ever saw in terms of star power.
