Recovery dynamics of multifocal pupillographic objective perimetry from tropicamide dilation

Internal devaluation policies imposed in southern European countries since 2010 have weakened labour market institutions and intensified wage inequality and the falling wage share. The debate in the wake of the financial and economic crisis raised concerns about slow wage growth and persistent economic inequality. This article attempts to shed light on this debate, scrutinising the case of Portugal in the period 2010–2017. Mapping the broad developments at the national level, the article examines four sectors, looking in particular at the impact of minimum wages and collective bargaining on wage trends vis-à-vis wage inequality and wage share trajectories. We conclude that both minimum wage increases and the slight recovery of collective bargaining had a positive effect on wage outcomes and were important in reducing wage inequality. The extent of this reduction was limited, however, by uneven sectoral recovery dynamics and the persistent effects of precarious work, combined with critical liberalisation reforms.

Whiplash Syndrome

Cervical pain is a prominent symptom in both acute whiplash injury and late whiplash syndrome. However, no systematic analysis of post-traumatic pain development covering several weeks has yet been performed in whiplash patients. It was the aim of the present study to analyse the duration and course of post-traumatic muscle pain due to whiplash injury in a prospective follow-up examination with short investigation intervals. A recovery of initially increased muscle pain after whiplash injury within 1 month was hypothesized. Pressure pain of the splenius and trapezius muscles was recorded using PC-interactive pressure algesimetry. Whiplash patients were investigated during the acute injury stage and after 3, 4, and 6 weeks and compared with matched controls. We found significantly increased pressure pain of the splenius and trapezius muscles in the acute stage of whiplash injury. After 4 weeks patients' scores of pain parameters were comparable to those of healthy control subjects. Within the patient group the first changes of pressure pain were observed within 3 (splenius) and 4 weeks (trapezius). For most patients the recovery dynamics lasted 4-6 weeks. A minority of patients did not show any improvement after 6 weeks. The present study shows that the dynamics of pressure pain due to whiplash injury can be quantified by means of PC-interactive pressure algesimetry. Our results confirm the clinical experience that the acute post-traumatic cervical syndrome normally subsides within weeks.
