A Simple Quantitative Measure of Orbital Compliance.

Purpose: This study evaluates the reliability of a frequently used subjective measurement of orbital compliance (0-3 scale) and describes a simple, quantitative measure with excellent intra- and interrater reliability.

Methods: Two examiners performed both measurements on 100 orbits (50 consecutive patients) from the office of 1 oculoplastics surgeon. Each measurement was obtained at 2 different time points, 10 minutes apart.

Autologous fat transfer with SEFFI (superficial enhanced fluid fat injection) technique in periocular reconstruction.

Purpose: To evaluate the aesthetic and functional outcomes of autologous fat transfer using the SEFFI (superficial enhanced fluid fat injection) technique for reconstruction of the periocular area.

Methods: Autologous fat injections prepared with the 0.5 mL and 0.

Posterior microphthalmos, retinitis pigmentosa and optic disc drusen with white dots. A case report.

Objective: To present the case of a patient with a posterior microphthalmos-optic disc drusen-retinitis pigmentosa syndrome associated, for the first time, with white dots in the posterior pole.

Methodology: The posterior microphthalmos, retinitis pigmentosa and optic disc drusen syndrome was described for the first time in literature in 1991. Later, it was associated with a pattern of foveal thickening and/or foveoschisis.

Influence of supragingival biofilm control and smoking habit on Interleukin-1β concentration.

This investigation compared gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) interleukin-1β (IL-1β) concentrations in periodontitis patients subjected to a strict supragingival biofilm control (Supra) for 6 months. Never-smokers (23) and smokers (n = 20; 19.6 ± 11.
