Association of obesity status and the risk of long-COVID: Isfahan COVID cohort study.

People with COVID-19 infection continue to have their symptoms or develop new ones after recovery. This is called long-COVID syndrome. We aimed to examine the association of general and abdominal obesity with long COVID.

Atypical intraorbital dermoid and epidermoid cyst: A single institution cross-sectional retrospective study.

Purpose: Intraorbital epidermoid and dermoid cyst (DC) has been reported in the literature rarely. The current study evaluates clinicopathologic, radiologic, and management of intraorbital DC cases over ten years.

Methods: In this cross-sectional study, the medical records of patients with intraorbital DC treated at the academic referral center for ocular surgery were retrospectively reviewed.

Cherubism: report of three cases and literature review.

Purpose: To report 3 cases of cherubism, one of whom underwent surgery for orbital manifestations, and to provide a literature review.

Case Reports: Our patients were normal at birth and developed painless enlarging of the cheeks and jaws when they were 4-5 years old. Ophthalmologic examinations showed mild proptosis, superior globe displacement and inferior scleral show in all cases.

The prevalence of amblyogenic factors in children with persistent congenital nasolacrimal duct obstruction.

Background: To evaluate the prevalence of amblyopia risk factors in children that underwent probing for persistent congenital nasolacrimal duct obstruction (CNLDO).

Methods: The medical records of children with CNLDO (after 1 year of age) that underwent probing were reviewed. Amblyopia risk factors, based on the American Association for Pediatric Ophthalmology and Strabismus referral criteria in 2013, were sought in the patientsʹ records before probing.

Carvedilol compared with metoprolol on left ventricular ejection fraction after coronary artery bypass graft.

A number of elective coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery patients have impaired underlying left ventricular function (poor ejection fraction). This study was performed to compare the effect of postoperative oral carvedilol versus metoprolol on left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) after CABG compared with metoprolol. In a double-blind clinical trial, 60 patients with coronary artery disease, aged 35 to 65 years, who had an ejection fraction of 15% to 35% were included.
