Purpose: To define the genetic architecture of foveal morphology and explore its relevance to foveal hypoplasia (FH), a hallmark of developmental macular disorders.

Methods: We applied deep-learning algorithms to quantify foveal pit depth from central optical coherence tomography (OCT) B-scans in 61,269 UK Biobank participants. A genome-wide association study (GWAS) was conducted using REGENIE, adjusting for age, sex, height, and ancestry.

Rethinking positional nystagmus: beyond BPPV.

J Neurol

September 2025

SENSE Research Unit, Department of Clinical and Movements Neurosciences, UCL Institute of Neurology, 33 Queen Square, London, WC1N 3BG, UK.

Positional nystagmus is a frequently encountered yet often underappreciated clinical sign that provides critical insights into vestibular and central nervous system function. For the general neurologist, recognising and correctly interpreting positional nystagmus can significantly impact diagnostic accuracy and guide appropriate management of common and complex dizziness presentations. The current diagnostic framework for positional nystagmus disproportionately favours BPPV, underestimates central positional nystagmus (CPN), and over-relies on imaging.

Objective: To investigate whether a specific nystagmus observed during Gufoni or Gufoni-Appiani maneuvers can predict their efficacy, eliminating the need for deferred diagnosis of a recalcitrant lateral semicircular canal (LSC) benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV).

Study Design: Prospective cohort.

Setting: Tertiary center.

Background: While extensive research exists on the efficacy of the Epley maneuver, studies examining nystagmus findings during treatment are limited.

Aims/objectives: This study aimed to examine posterior canal benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) to determine whether nystagmus findings during the Epley maneuver can predict efficacy. Additionally, we investigated the occurrence of nystagmus in the sitting position immediately following treatment.

Neurotoxic effects of scorpion envenomation, a video of nystagmus, dysmetria, and tongue fasciculations: a case report.

J Med Case Rep

July 2025

Division of Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine, Department of Internal Medicine, Kirk Kerkorian School of Medicine, University of Nevada, Las Vegas, NV, USA.

Background: Scorpion stings are common in rural areas worldwide, with most cases being benign. However, certain species, such as Centruroides in Southwestern USA, can cause severe neurotoxic envenomations. Neurotoxic symptoms, including nystagmus and ataxia, are well documented in pediatric cases but remain rare in adults.
