Change in Lower Eyelid Position After Ptosis Repair in Patients With Unilateral Myogenic Versus Aponeurotic Blepharoptosis.

Purpose: To compare preoperative and postoperative lower eyelid scleral show in patients with unilateral myogenic (MP) and aponeurotic (AP) ptosis, analyze the factors correlated with them, and assess the rate of postoperative lower eyelid symmetry in both groups.

Methods: Patients (older than 5 years old) with unilateral MP (58) and AP (20) were included from June 2015 to April 2017. Excluded were patients with previous eyelid surgery, strabismus, levator function of ≤3, and associated procedures.

Postoperative levator function change in patients with unilateral myogenic versus aponeurotic blepharoptosis.

Purpose: To compare the change in levator function (LF) after levator resection in patients with unilateral myogenic (MP) and aponeurotic ptosis (AP).

Methods: In a prospective study, patients of >5 years old were included from June 2015 to April 2017. Other types of ptosis, associated strabismus and previous eyelid surgery were excluded.

Eyelash Ptosis in Unilateral Myogenic and Aponeurotic Blepharoptosis: A Prospective, Controlled, Before- and After-Study.

Purposes: The purposes of this study were to compare lash ptosis (LP) with contralateral eyelid in patients with unilateral myogenic (MP) and aponeurotic (AP) ptosis before and after the ptosis repair and to assess the correlation between postoperative eyelid height and LP symmetry.

Methods: Patients older than 5 years were included from June 2015 to April 2017. Eyelid examination, LP grading (0-3), and photography were performed before and at least 6 months after ptosis repair.

Visual and Anatomical Outcomes of Spironolactone Therapy in Patients with Chronic Central Serous Chorioretinopathy.

Purpose: To evaluate the effect of spironolactone on chronic central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC).

Methods: In this prospective interventional case series, patients with chronic CSC were treated with spironolactone (25 mg daily) for at least 6 weeks. If the subretinal fluid (SRF) had not completely resolved by this time, treatment was continued, and the dosage was increased to 25 mg twice daily.

Tear Film, Lacrimal Drainage System, and Eyelid Findings in Subjects With Anophthalmic Socket Discharge.

Purpose: To compare the results of tear film and lacrimal drainage system tests between anophthalmic socket and normal eye and assess discharge characteristics and frequency of prosthesis removal (questionnaire), eyelid function, and meibomian glad dysfunction (MGD).

Design: Prospective masked case control.

Methods: Subjects (≥6 years and ≥6 months of wearing prosthesis) with unilateral acquired anophthalmic socket discharge were included.

Statins and postoperative infections: a randomized clinical trial.

Background: Observational studies, rather than randomized trials, revealed that statins might be associated with other benefits.

Objectives: The present study aimed at evaluating the preventive effects of lovastatin when used as a prophylactic agent for early and late infective complications after surgery.

Patients And Methods: A total of 149 patients undergoing elective intracranial and spinal surgeries, were enrolled in a double- blind randomized clinical trial in the department of neurosurgery of a teaching hospital.
