Frequency, risk factors and time to resolution of exposure keratopathy in patients in the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit.

Background And Objective: Exposure keratopathy (EPK) is characterized by punctate erosions of the corneal epithelium, mainly located in the lower third of the cornea. In the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU), an incidence of 19-25 % has been reported. The objective of this study was to describe the frequency, risk factors, and time to resolution of exposure keratitis in PICU patients.

The objective of this study was to evaluate functional and anatomical success after canalicular laceration repair using Crawford bicanalicular stents.

Materials And Methods: Records of patients with canalicular laceration repair performed from 2010 to 2019 at Ophthalmology Institute Conde de Valenciana in Mexico City were reviewed.

Multidisciplinary approach to orbital embryonic rhabdomyosarcoma: About a case.

Of the head and neck tumoral lesions in children and adolescents, 5%-10% are primary malignant tumors. Among these tumors, orbital rhabdomyosarcoma stands out, which is the most common primary soft tissue sarcoma in children. Its diagnosis requires a high degree of clinical suspicion, and it can be corroborated with a series of examinations, in order to stage it and carry out the appropriate treatment.

Oral selenium improved the disease activity in patients with mild Graves' orbitopathy.

Background: Graves' orbitopathy (GO) is the most common extrathyroidal manifestation of Graves' disease (GD), an autoimmune disorder arising from the activity of T lymphocytes against antigens that infiltrate thyroid tissue, orbital tissue and extraocular muscles. An increase in oxidative stress has been discovered in autoimmune thyroid disease, encouraging investigation into new forms of treatment. Selenium has been described as a treatment option given its antioxidant properties.
