Purpose: To define the regular upper eyelid anatomy and their changes during dynamic motion using ultrasonographically depicted structures.

Design: A cross-sectional study.

Methods: High-resolution ultrasound biomicroscopy (50MHz) was performed on 84 upper eyelids of 42 healthy volunteers without evidence of eyelid conditions.

A UV-related risk analysis in ophthalmic malignancies: Increased UV exposure may cause ocular malignancies.

Purpose: To explore the role of ultraviolet radiation (UVR) in the occurrence and development of various ocular malignancies.

Methods: In this article, we retrieved ocular malignancy data from the Global Cancer Observatory (GCO) and performed correlation analysis with the global UV index and sunshine duration. We searched for associated studies using the following databases: Embase, Pubmed, Cochrane Library, and Google Scholar.

[Metastasis in the periocular region].

Orbital and periocular metastatic tumors used to be considered very rare; however, with the constant updating of drugs and detection methods for cancer treatment, new chemotherapies and radiation treatments are being used. The life expectancy of cancer patients has become longer and periocular metastases are becoming easier to detect. Our knowledge of this rare disease of metastases also needs to be updated.

Postoperative Pain Following Eye Enucleation: A Prospective Observational Study.

Enucleation of an eye is the most invasive procedure in ophthalmologic surgery. It can be the result of various diseases (malignant/chronic/trauma/infection) and is nevertheless relatively rare, but leads to the loss of a strongly innervated neuronal organ. This study systematically evaluates postoperative pain levels following enucleation of the eye globe.

Laryngeal Mask Airway Versus Endotracheal Intubation during Lacrimal Duct Stenosis Surgery in Children-A Retrospective Analysis.

The use of laryngeal masks in the surgical treatment of infantile lacrimal duct stenosis is controversial due to the potential risk of aspiration. This study investigates airway procedures in children aged <6 years for surgery of lacrimal duct stenosis in a tertiary care university hospital. After institutional approval, airway procedures, duration of anesthesiological measures, and airway-related complications were retrospectively analyzed.

Eight weeks of exercise intervention improves visuomotor and functional capacity, performance, and physiological profile in a patient with choroidal melanoma.

The aim of this case study was to investigate the effects of an 8-wk combined exercise intervention, consisting of visual-coordinative and high-intensity interval training (HIIT), on the physical and visuomotor-functional capacity, performance, and physiological profile of a moderately active 29-yr-old man diagnosed with choroidal melanoma of the left eye. Data were collected on three occasions: at the initial diagnosis (T0), after hospitalization and radiotherapy treatment (T1), and following the recovery through the exercise intervention (T2), spanning a total of 17 wk. The primary outcome variables consisted of visuomotor and functional tests (VFTs), cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF), and microvascular circulation measured via flicker light-induced dilation (FiD).
