Purpose: To determine the effect of botulinum toxin injection in the eyelid on lacrimal film in patients with facial dystonia.
Methods: Twenty-four patients with essential blepharospasm and hemifacial spasm were submitted to botulinum toxin injection and lacrimal film tests were performed before the application and after seven and thirty days.
Results: There was improvement in symptoms of dry eye and rose bengal test, however, the breakup time and Schirmer's test did not show significant variation between pretreatment and after 1 month of follow-up.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to see if using a Lanz pressure regulating valve on endotracheal tubes (ETT) could reduce tracheal damage in dogs during anesthesia with nitrous oxide (N2O).
- Sixteen mixed-breed dogs were divided into two groups, one using a standard Rüsch ETT and the other using a Lanz ETT, with measurements taken before and during N2O administration.
- Results showed that the Lanz group had lower cuff pressures and significantly less tracheal inflammation and damage compared to the Control group, suggesting the Lanz ETT is better at protecting the trachea.
