Jigsaw Classroom: A Process of Cooperative Learning and Discussion
Authors: Normadiana Mohammad Hanapi  , Mohd Mawardi Mohd Kamal
Published: July 2024

The jigsaw classroom is a non-traditional classroom teaching style. Rather than forming a large group of students around a teacher, students are taught to work in smaller, interdependent groups; each student is assigned a part of a topic to study, and when finished, the students fit their pieces of the subject area together to produce a whole "jigsaw" picture. A thorough understanding of theoretical topics in geology, such as those in The Study of Rocks, is essential for exam reasoning, problem solving, and technical skill enhancement. Nevertheless, learners and teachers both commonly perceive this subject as being arid, unpredictable, and challenging to comprehend. The causes could include the breadth of the subject, the effectiveness of student learning, the length of the study period (greater than one hour), the physical environment within the classrooms (one-way teaching by the instructor), and so on. These factors contribute to a lack of student attentiveness and boredom in the classroom. The purpose of this study was to determine the efficacy of implementing jigsaw classroom approaches in theoretical courses.  A quantitative approach was used to collect empirical data by sending the questionnaire survey amongst 125 civil engineering students at UiTM Pahang,Cawangan Jengka. The collected data was analysed using a descriptive version of the Statistical Package for Social Sciences for Windows Version (SPSS) software, such as mean score, percentage, and frequency. The study found that the majority of respondents agreed that Jigsaw Classroom Learning (JCL) could improve their communication skills. Besides that, JCL is an effective and faster way to learn theoretical subjects, especially in geology topics. JCL can also help students build self-confidence, especially among shy and hesitant students in the class. Using a jigsaw classroom as a cooperative learning technique can improve teaching and learning efficiency for students while also enhancing their academic performance.

Authors: Fikri Miftakhul
Published: July 2024

The dissemination of information related to reporting on the Ibu Kota Negara (IKN) has been carried out by several national media accounts one of which is the @detikcom. This research aims to find out how the discourse construction is built by the @detikcom on Instagram regarding the report of IKN. This research is qualitative where the research was carried out analyzing the text in the @detikcom posts regarding the report ofIKN. This research method uses discourse analysis by Teun Van Djik where text analysis in Instagram posts can be analyzed using textual analysis (macro structure, superstructure, and microstructure), social cognition analysis and social context analysis. The results of this research found three posts that had a lot of interactions related to IKN news such as flying cars at IKN and the IKN development process. In textual analysis, discourse construction was found with news titles, sentences and special words that were sensational and could attract public attention. Furthermore, the social cognition analysis found posts from the @detikcom produced by text creators which played a very important role in shaping the discourse of IKN news. Then the social context analysis shows that there are differences between the @detikcom and local media accounts in forming the report of IKN. Finally, this research concludes that the @detikcom has formed a discourse on IKN reporting which can indirectly influence public perception.

A economia global passa por intensas transformações, caracterizadas pela literatura como Quarta Revolução Industrial. Dentre as mudanças advindas com essas transformações, uma das principais caracteriza-se pelo impacto nas relações de trabalho. Observa-se o crescimento do número de trabalhadores que realizam diferentes tarefas por intermédio de plataformas digitais. Como característica geral, esses trabalhos não oferecem proteção social e, muitas vezes, apesar da rápida geração de renda, esta é bastante volátil. O desafio que se apresenta é, então, o de como proteger esse crescente número de trabalhadores de plataformas. Este estudo apresenta a experiência de um conjunto de países da América Latina e Europa, bem como a proposta em discussão no âmbito da União Europeia, acerca da regulação do trabalho em aplicativos. São apresentadas as diferentes formas como os países têm lidado com essa questão. Entende-se a necessidade da inclusão protetiva desses trabalhadores, mas também a necessidade de observância da sustentabilidade de longo prazo dos sistemas de proteção social.
Mooting the Concept of “Hierarchical Analysis” in the Context of a Cultural Taxonomy: A Concept with Widespread Implications for Social Sciences Research
Authors: Mandavill Sujay Rao
Published: July 2024

We begin this paper by attempting to define what the oft-used term “culture” means and probing its various elements, dimensions, and attributes as well. We also then describe what is meant by cultural change, and investigate the various types of commonly and less commonly observed types of cultural change along with the schools canonically associated with the study of culture and cultural change in social and cultural anthropology. We also then proceed to review the core concepts associated and allied with our symbiotic approach to sociocultural change along with the related concepts of mind-orientations, cultural orientations, mindspace, thought worlds, and world views. The core theme and central component of this paper if of course the concept of a cultural taxonomy, the essentials of which we reproduce here, by referencing both our earlier work, and other pre-existing concepts in the field. We of course, then present our proposals namely “Hierarchical analysis” in the context of a cultural taxonomy which is the objective of this paper, and differentiate with from the differentials other ‘Modes of Internal Spread’ of Cultural Elements, a concept that we had mooted earlier. The core downstream uses and objectives of this approach are also discussed in such a way that readers will be able to note the merits of this approach.

Published: July 2024

This research paper explores the profound influence of African heritage on Afro-American literary expression. It begins by examining the historical context, emphasizing the impact of the transatlantic slave trade and early Afro-American literature's retention of African cultural elements. The Harlem Renaissance is highlighted as a pivotal moment that celebrated African roots and set the stage for future literary developments. Central themes derived from African heritage, such as resistance, resilience, and connection to ancestry, are analyzed, illustrating their prominence in both historical and contemporary works. The paper deal with storytelling techniques and narrative structures influenced by African oral traditions, folktales, and myths, highlighting how these elements enrich Afro-American literature. The use of rhythmic language, communal narration, and the call- and-response pattern are discussed as significant aspects that enhance narrative depth and cultural authenticity. The integration of African symbols, music, and communal values as cultural motifs is explored, showcasing how these elements infuse literary works with layers of meaning and cultural resonance. The reclamation of African identity is a key focus, with discussions on Afrocentric perspectives in modern literature, the impact of the Black Arts Movement, and contemporary literary movements. The challenges and opportunities of navigating dual heritage and cultural hybridity are addressed, emphasizing the complexities of identity formation and cultural expression.

Modeling Time-variable Elemental Abundances in Coronal Loop Simulations
Authors: Reep Jeffrey W. , Unverferth John , Barnes Will T. , Chhabra Sherry
Published: July 2024

Numerous recent X-ray observations of coronal loops in both active regions and solar flares have shown clearly that elemental abundances vary with time. Over the course of a flare, they have been found to move from coronal values toward photospheric values near the flare peak, before slowly returning to coronal values during the gradual phase. Coronal loop models typically assume that the elemental abundances are fixed, however. In this work, we introduce a time-variable abundance factor into the 0D ebtel++ code that models the changes due to chromospheric evaporation in order to understand how this affects coronal loop cooling. We find that for strong heating events (≳1 erg s−1 cm−3), the abundances quickly tend towards photospheric values. For smaller heating rates, the abundances fall somewhere between coronal and photospheric values, causing the loop to cool more quickly than the time-fixed photospheric cases (typical flare simulations) and more slowly than time-fixed coronal cases (typical AR simulations). This suggests heating rates in quiescent AR loops no larger than ≈0.1 erg s−1 cm−3 to be consistent with recent measurements of abundance factors f ≳ 2.
Resolution of the Aleiodes seriatus (Herrich-Schäffer, 1838)-aggregate in the western Palaearctic (Hymenoptera, Braconidae, Rogadinae), with description of a new species
Authors: van Achterberg Cornelis , Shaw Mark R. , Fernandez-Triana Jose , Quicke Donald L. J.
Published: July 2024

Two European species are recognised and characterised within the traditional Aleiodes seriatus species concept, based initially on DNA barcoding but with supporting, although slight and sometimes unreliable, morphological differences. Aleiodes pseudoseriatussp. nov. is described and a neotype is designated for Rogas seriatus Herrich-Schäffer, 1838. Specimens from the Russian Far East were also DNA barcoded and were found to belong to a new species distinct from the two European taxa. The two European species were found to use different lithosiine hosts.

Vingt ans après : Soudan, le choc en retour de la crise du Darfour ?
Authors: Lavergne Marc
Published: July 2024

Le Darfour, sultanat fondé sur le commerce transsaharien, fut rattaché au Soudan anglo-égyptien au début du XX e siècle. Marginalisé et victime de famines, il donna naissance à un mouvement de rébellion. Celui-ci fut combattu par Khartoum qui attisa les tensions entre sédentaires et nomades en leur conférant une dimension ethnique et raciale. La « transition démocratique » ouverte en avril 2019 à Khartoum n’a pas réussi à répondre aux revendications de ces mouvements. Le Darfour est désormais dévasté par les Forces de Déploiement Rapide opposées à l’armée régulière: issues de tribus “arabes” chamelières, elles procèdent à l’extermination des groupes sédentaires « africains ».

Partager le soin de proximité. Conception d’un service d’art à domicile en ruralité
Authors: Huguet François , Royer Marine
Published: July 2024

Percevant l’isolement et les difficultés d’accès aux services, notamment culturels, pour les personnes âgées ou en situation de handicap vivant en ruralité, Derrière Le Hublot, scène conventionnée d’intérêt national art en territoire, a impulsé en 2022 la création d’un Service d’art à domicile. Pensé et coconstruit sur deux années, ce service est aujourd’hui au cœur d’une dynamique culturelle de territoire qui place la question du soin et de l’attention au centre de son travail. Dans cet article, nous décrivons les enjeux socioculturels de ce projet et la capacité qu’il a de troubler à la fois les métiers de l’aide à domicile mais également le secteur culturel. En mobilisant l’enquête et l’expérimentation en design, nous étudions, à l’aide du concept de care, comment des artistes, aux côtés de professionnelles du soin et de l’accompagnement peuvent inventer des gestes qui réparent, prennent soin et performent d’autres modèles d’actions culturelles et artistiques.
Peaux Éthiques : une clinique sensorielle des relations et artefacts de soin par le design en dermatologie pédiatrique
Authors: Brugnoli Audrey
Published: July 2024

Les enfants atteints d’épidermolyse bulleuse, une maladie génétique rare de la peau, souffrent dès la petite enfance de leur image corporelle. Les dispositifs médicaux actuels, bien que performants, demeurent souvent perçus comme lourds et difficiles à vivre au quotidien. Le caractère incurable de la maladie incite à dépasser la seule performance médicale, en intégrant la réduction du fardeau individuel lié à la maladie et aux traitements. Le projet doctoral Peaux Éthiques s’attache à concevoir des dispositifs thérapeutiques centrés sur la sensorialité, dans le but de favoriser une interaction positive entre ces enfants et leur environnement. Menée à l’Hôpital Necker-Enfants malades AP-HP, cette étude pilote est portée par l’Institut Imagine, premier pôle européen de recherche, de soins et d’enseignement sur les maladies génétiques et le laboratoire de l’École nationale supérieure des arts décoratifs (Ensad). En intégrant les éthiques du care dans une démarche de recherche-projet en design, elle implique les acteurs de la santé et de la conception dans un processus itératif. L’analyse des besoins psychosociaux des enfants révèle cinq axes d’amélioration. La démarche adoptée propose un acte de soin par la coconception de solutions concrètes avec les patients, leurs aidants et les soignants.
Accompagner l’expérience de création artistique dans les organismes d’action en santé psychique
Authors: Lempen Olivia
Published: July 2024

En 2019, l’Organisation mondiale de la santé (OMS) publiait un rapport concluant sur une invitation à stimuler l’impact bénéfique des arts. Tout en considérant que les résultats du rapport sont essentiels pour souligner le rôle que peuvent jouer les activités artistiques dans l’amélioration de la santé mentale, il est important de mener des réflexions en vue de clarifier les intentions sous-tendant les dispositifs de mise en création artistique qui s’adressent à des personnes en situation de fragilité psychique. Cette contribution vise à encourager les professionnels engagés sur l’accompagnement avec des outils créatifs à avoir connaissance du large périmètre d’action des expériences artistiques sur l’équilibre psychique, afin de savoir y délimiter les frontières de leurs interventions et d’optimiser leurs effets bénéfiques. Par ailleurs, penser l’expérience artistique dans le contexte des établissements de soins en santé mentale aujourd’hui ne peut se passer d’envisager les pratiques dans le cadre de référence des approches du rétablissement. Les activités artistiques pourraient présenter un potentiel non négligeable pour le renfor-cement du pouvoir d’agir et une contribution à la redéfinition de soi, pour autant qu’une attention soit portée aux enjeux psychiques mobilisés à chaque temps du processus de création.
La néomanagérialisation prise aux mots : interroger le « succès » des associations de promotion de l’égalité des chances
Authors: Felgerolles Alix , Hamidi Camille , Morel Lucas , Soumagbo Vianney
Published: July 2024

Cet article s’intéresse à trois associations de promotion de l’égalité des chances, secteur qui a connu une très forte croissance ces trois dernières décennies en France, en particulier à destination des quartiers populaires. Il vise à interroger les raisons du succès de ces associations, qui se réclament de logiques néomanagériales très fortes. Dans une première partie, nous présentons la croissance de ces associations, les objectifs chiffrés qu’elles se fixent et les process prévus pour les atteindre, qui les inscrivent dans une logique de « startupisation » du monde associatif. Nous nous demandons ensuite si cette croissance accélérée et ces dynamiques néomanagériales sont des gages d’efficacité du point de vue des publics suivis. Nous montrons que les associations ne se dotent pas véritablement d’outils d’évaluation permettant de l’attester, et que les enquêtes menées par ailleurs pointent des effets très limités de ces dispositifs sur les bénéficiaires. En revanche, ces dynamiques ont des conséquences bien réelles sur les conditions de travail des salariés associatifs, qui sont assez dégradées, tout en contribuant à la délégitimation des acteurs publics de l’orientation et de l’insertion. Dès lors, comment comprendre les raisons du succès de ces associations ? Nous tentons de le faire dans une troisième partie, en soulignant la proximité de leurs dirigeant·es avec leurs interlocuteur·rices public.ques et privé.es ainsi que leur inscription dans les transformations récentes des politiques éducatives et institutionnelles.
Signals and Systems: Theory and Applications
Authors: Ulaby Fawwaz , Yagle Andrew
Published: July 2024

This is a signals and systems textbook with a difference: Engineering applications of signals and systems are integrated into the presentation as equal partners with concepts and mathematical models, instead of just presenting the concepts and models and leaving the student to wonder how it all relates to engineering.   The first six chapters of this textbook cover the usual basic concepts of continuous-time signals and systems, including the Laplace and Fourier transforms. Chapters 7 and 8 present the discrete-time version of Chapters 1–6, emphasizing the similarities and analogies, and often using continuous-time results to derive discrete-time results. The two chapters serve to introduce the reader to the world of discrete-time signals and systems. Concepts highlighted in Chapters 1–8 include: compensator feedback configuration (Ch. 4); energy spectral density, group delay, expanded coverage of exponential Fourier series (Ch. 5); filtering of images, Hilbert transform, single-sideband (SSB), zero and first-order hold interpolation (Ch. 6); the Cooley-Tukey FFT (Ch. 7); bilateral z-transform and use for non-minimum-phase deconvolution (Ch. 8). Chapter 9 covers the usual concepts of discrete-time signal processing, including data windows, FIR and IIR filter design, multirate signal processing, and auto-correlation and crosscorrelation. It also includes some nontraditional concepts, including spectrograms, application of multirate signal processing, and the musical circle of fifths to audio signal processing, and some biomedical applications of autocorrelation and cross-correlation. Chapter 10 covers image processing, discrete-time wavelets (including the Smith-Barnwell condition and the Haar and Daubechies discrete-time wavelet expansions), and an introduction to compressed sensing. This is the first sophomore-junior level textbook the authors are aware of that allows students to apply compressed sensing concepts. Applications include: image denoising using 2-D filtering; image denoising using thresholding and shrinkage of image wavelet transforms; image deconvolution using Wiener filters; “valid” image deconvolution using ISTA; image inpainting; tomography and the projection-slice theorem, and image reconstruction from partial knowledge of 2-D DFT values. Problems allow students to apply these techniques to actual images and learn by doing, not by only reading.

Authors: Chatterjee Subhankar , Raja Md. Ramiz , Mahata Rahin , Chakraborty Partha Pratim , Maiti Animesh
Published: July 2024

While hypoglycemia is a frequent problem encountered in clinical practice, endogenous hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia in a patient with diabetes is rare. Here, we describe such a case of recurrent hypoglycemia due to multifocal insulinoma (differential focal nesidioblastosis) in an adult patient with diabetes. The diagnostic dilemma, pitfalls in interpreting advanced imaging techniques, and difficulty in management of hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia with underlying diabetes have been focused. The utility of acarbose and uncooked cornstarch to maintain euglycemia while combating two opposite sinister pathologies has been discussed. The novel association of antibody-negative Graves’ disease with insulinoma and nesidioblastosis is also reported in this study.

Primary adrenal lymphoma (PAL) is a rare tumor with fewer than 300 cases reported to date. In the absence of characteristic imaging features and diagnostic serum markers, a biopsy remains the definitive way to diagnose PAL. Although rituximab-based chemotherapeutic regimens have led to improved outcomes, late presentation, undetected, and untreated adrenal insufficiency result in a dismal prognosis. Although it is well known that hypercalcemia in malignancy carries a grave outcome, well documented cases of hypercalcemia association with PAL is very rarely described in the literature. Here, we describe a case of PAL that predominantly presented with gastrointestinal manifestations of hypercalcemia.

Authors: Suganya M , Kalabarathi S
Published: July 2024

Schizophrenia is a mental health condition that disrupts several different areas of the brain. This condition typically affects thinking abilities, memories, and senses. Antipsychotic medications and maintenance-electroconvulsive therapy (m-ECT) are the cornerstone of schizophrenia treatment. This case report focuses on a 21-year-old woman with Schizophrenia on m-ECT and antipsychotic medication. Her symptoms did not subside with drug therapy and she was started with m-ECT. Five ECT sessions were given to her with antipsychotic medication. The patient’s mood, appearance, behaviour, perception and self-care improved after m-ECT. As a result of the collaboration between the clinical pharmacists and the multidisciplinary team in the management of the patient, her insight improved eventually. Literature collected from various countries (UK, Poland, Japan, Korea, USA and Malta) stated that schizophrenia can be successfully treated with m-ECT. We discuss the importance of recognizing and treating the patient with schizophrenia with antipsychotic medication and m-ECT. There is a need for further research on the correlation between schizophrenia on m-ECT and drug therapy in young adults.

Ready-to-mix food products have a major impact on the food sector, as they are considered to be a near-impeccable alternative that can replace our standard food. Millet products are gaining importance due to increased awareness among consumers of their health benefits. Pearl millet can be used in a variety of different forms, including porridge, breads, fermented and nonfermented beverages, snacks, popped grain, etc. In this study, ready-to-mix traditional pearl millet (Pennisetum glaucum) porridge powder was developed by adapting different drying methods. The study examined the effects of drying food samples at different temperatures and durations: 60 °C for 48 hours in a tray dryer, −45 ± 5 °C for 48 hours in a freeze dryer, and 40 °C for 48 hours in a vacuum dryer. Pearl millet porridge powder is analyzed in terms of texture, water activity, color, water-holding capacity, pasting properties, and proximate composition. The results were tested statistically by one-way ANOVA. The results indicated that the freeze-drying technique retained its quality. The sensory analysis by a 9-point hedonic scale conducted for porridge powder with 15 semi-trained panelists indicated that the sample dried by freezing was more preferred.
Ebstein-Barr virus- induced dacryoadenitis in a child: An unusual sign of a common disease and review of literature
Authors: Gamalero Lisa , Macucci Chiara , Pasti Mattia , Giani Teresa
Published: July 2024

Lacrimal gland inflammation, known as dacryoadenitis, is an uncommon condition with various etiologies, ranging from infectious to autoimmune diseases. The clinical course can be acute, subacute, or chronic, with involvement on one or both sides. In the course of mononucleosis, a self-limited eyelid edema is often observed, while dacryoadenitis has been rarely reported. We present the case of an 8-year-old girl with bilateral subacute Epstein–Barr virus-induced dacryoadenitis, who underwent orbital magnetic resonance imaging and gland biopsy, and we performed a comprehensive literature review.
Bilateral developmental cataracts in a child with familial lipodystrophy
Authors: Murthy Sowmya Raveendra , Jain Kirtika , Hundlani Simran
Published: July 2024

Bilateral developmental cataracts are usually caused due to hereditary metabolic disorder or intrauterine infections. Familial lipodystrophy type 7 has variable phenotypes with early-onset cataracts and lower limb spasticity, with most reports showing the onset of cataracts in the second decade of life. We report a rare case of bilateral congenital cataract in a child aged 3 years and 9 months with genetically proven familial partial lipodystrophy type 7. Bilateral developmental cataracts need complete physical examination and genetic analysis to detect unusual and rare causes like familial partial lipodystrophy.
Spontaneous resolution of macular detachment in myopic maculopathy

Published: July 2024

We are reporting a case of myopic maculopathy in a 52-year-old man, which showed spontaneous resolution of macular schisis and foveal detachment. Spontaneous resolution has been reported after posterior vitreous detachment (PVD) or rupture of the internal limiting membrane (ILM). It has also been reported in cases where either of these two were absent. Our report adds to the literature that spontaneous resolution can occur in the absence of PVD or ILM rupture.
Contralateral anaesthesia following peribulbar block- Unveiling a rare ocular complication

Published: July 2024

Peribulbar anesthesia is a common regional block in intraocular surgeries with an excellent safety profile. We report a rare case of contralateral loss of accommodation and extraocular muscle palsy following peribulbar block (PBB). A patient with right-eye pterygium was planned for pterygium excision with conjunctival autograft under PBB. After PBB, the patient developed blurring of vision and loss of extraocular muscle movements in the contralateral eye. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography scan of the brain and orbit was unremarkable. The patient was stabilized, and surgery was deferred. The patient’s vision and extraocular movements returned spontaneously after 4–5 hours.
Visual axis reopacification after Nd:YAG laser posterior capsulotomy

Published: July 2024

Posterior capsular opacification (PCO) and anterior hyaloid face opacification are the two possible causes of visual axis opacification after cataract surgery, of which PCO is more common in adults. This is treated by neodymium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet (Nd:YAG) laser-assisted disruption of the opacified posterior capsule/membrane. Recurrence of visual axis opacification after a successful Nd:YAG laser posterior capsulotomy is infrequent. We report a case of visual axis reopacification after a successful Nd:YAG capsulotomy for PCO in an adult with no history of systemic or ocular disease who underwent phacoemulsification and an acrylic hydrophobic intraocular lens implantation. Patients should be explained about this possibility when undergoing Nd:YAG capsulotomy.
Longstanding iris foreign body to treat or not to treat!
Authors: Ramesh Arpitha , Umesh Y , Minija C K
Published: July 2024

A 61 year female presented with whitish discolouration of left eye noticed few days ago with a forgotten history of trauma 28 years ago for which a consultation was made and was asked for review with orbital x-ray, which was not done as she was asymptomatic. On examination, her best corrected visual acuity was 6/6 both eyes. Examination of right eye was unremarkable except for early lens changes, while left eye showed a nebular corneal opacity, suggesting entry wound. A brown coloured foreign body was seen stuck to iris surface temporally, measuring 4*3mm with degenerative changes over it and exposing underlying pigment epithelium with focal cataract. Rest of anterior segment, gonioscopy and fundus examination were normal. A thorough search for other intraocular foreign bodies (IOFBs) was made, revealing no other IOFBs. Anterior segment optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT) and ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM) demonstrated foreign body limited to iris surface, while orbital x-ray showed no evidence of metallic foreign body and electroretinogram (ERG) showed mildly decreased amplitude of b-wave.

Plan for foreign body removal with cataract surgery was made as per patient’s request for cosmesis, and was retrieved through viscoexpression after a failed attempt to remove it through magnetic forceps thereby confirming its non-metallic nature. Special care was taken during capsulorhexis to not damage the intact capsule. Rest of cataract surgery was performed as usual and anterior chamber wash was done to flush all the debris. Post operative picture shows an area of partial and full thickness iris defect while maintaining a good visual acuity. The debate for removal of longstanding, well encapsulated, inert foreign body over iris without functional impairment depends on multiple factors.[1,2] Which in our case was due to the patient’s demand for cosmesis.

Acute ellipsoid zone thickening: A sign of probable digoxin toxicity?
Authors: Pradeep B C , Sagar Pradeep , Shanmugam Mahesh P , Prabhakaran Parvathy , Biswal Suchitra
Published: July 2024

A 62-year-old gentleman presented with blurred vision in both eyes associated with excessive sleepiness and headache for 5 days. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) showed thickening of ellipsoid zone (EZ) with subtle separation from retinal pigment epithelium in both eyes. Patient was on digoxin 0.25 mg once daily for the past 2 years. As OCT was suggestive of photoceptor involvement, we sought an opinion from the cardiologist to consider withholding digoxin. Patient reported visual improvement at 1 week. At 6 months, OCT showed normalization of EZ. We propose that acute EZ thickening would be a sign of digoxin toxicity.
