Hyperbaric Oxygen Treatment of Keratitis Following Facial Hyaluronic Acid Injection.

With the increasing popularity of facial filler injections, growing numbers of complications have been reported. We present the case of a 60-year-old female with vision changes and keratitis following hyaluronic acid (HA) facial filler injections who completely recovered following hyperbaric oxygen treatment (HBOT). Using HBOT to successfully treat ocular ischemia has been reported, but to our knowledge, our case is the first report of successful HBOT use for ocular ischemia and keratitis following cosmetic facial HA injection.

Adolescents and adults affected by Cornelia de Lange syndrome: A report of 73 Italian patients.

Sleep disorders in Cornelia de Lange syndrome.

Cornelia de Lange syndrome (CdLS) is a rare genetic disorder characterized by growth retardation, intellectual disability, limb defects, typical facial dysmorphism, and other systemic involvement. Sleep disturbances have been frequently reported in CdLS, but these have not been completely characterized, and prevalence data are conflicting. The aim of this paper is to characterize and determine the prevalence of sleep disorders in CdLS patients by means of a validated questionnaire.

Risk factors for cerebral palsy in PPROM and preterm delivery with intact membranes (.).

Objective: Gestational age (GA) at delivery and spontaneous prematurity are independent risk factors for cerebral palsy (CP). The aim of this study is to investigate perinatal risk factors for CP in spontaneous preterm delivery.

Methods: A retrospective cohort study of all single pregnancies complicated by spontaneous preterm labor (PTL) or PPROM with delivery at <34 weeks from January 2006 to December 2012 was performed.

Prevalence of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease among US working adults aged 40 to 70 years. National Health Interview Survey data 2004 to 2011.

Objective: To estimate the prevalence and prevalence odds ratios of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) among US workers by major occupational groups.

Methods: The 2004 to 2011 National Health Interview Survey data for working adults 40 to 70 years old was analyzed to estimate the prevalence of COPD by major occupational groups. Logistic regression models were used to evaluate the associations between COPD (chronic bronchitis or emphysema) and occupations.
