Long term motor and sensory outcome after surgery for infantile esotropia and risk factors for residual and consecutive deviations.

: To present long-term motor and sensory outcomes after surgery for infantile esotropia and assess risk factors for residual and consecutive deviations.: Data of infantile esotropia patients operated between 2002 and 2016 with minimum follow-up of 2 years were retrospectively reviewed.: Among a total of 62 patients, 35 had a successful motor outcome (alignment within 10 PD from orthotropia) after one surgery (Group A), while 27 required horizontal reoperation (Group B).

Retinal Nerve Fibre Layer Thickness of Migraine Patients with or without White Matter Lesions.

The aim of this study was to determine whether retinal nerve fibre layer (RNFL) thickness is correlated with cerebral white matter lesions (WML) in migraine patients. Forty migraine and 40 healthy subjects were included in this study. The difference in RNFL thickness between the control and a migraine group with WML and a migraine group without WML were investigated using analysis of variance (ANOVA).

BILATERAL SEROUS MACULAR DETACHMENT IN A PATIENT WITH NEPHROTIC SYNDROME.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to report a case of a woman with nephrotic syndrome who presented with blurred vision because of bilateral serous macular detachment.

Methods: Case report and literature review.

Results: A 55-year-old woman with a history of essential hypertension, diabetes, and nephrotic syndrome was presented with blurred vision in both eyes.

Evaluation of Biochemical Composition of Vitreous of Eyes of Diabetic Patients Using Proton Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy.

Purpose: To investigate possible metabolic changes in vitreous of patients with diabetes mellitus with or without diabetic retinopathy using proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy.

Material And Methods: Twenty-eight healthy control subjects (group 1), 18 patients with diabetes mellitus without diabetic retinopathy (group 2) and 18 patients with diabetic retinopathy (group 3) were included. Proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy was performed in left vitreous of all subjects; amounts of Glutamate, Choline, Lactate and Creatine values were measured.

External Dacryocystorhinostomy for the Treatment of Functional Nasolacrimal Drainage Obstruction.

Objectives: To determine the outcome and long-term efficacy of external dacryocystorhinostomy (ext-DCR) with or without bicanalicular silicon intubation in patients with functional nasolacrimal drainage obstruction (FNLDO).

Materials And Methods: Patients with epiphora and patent lacrimal systems on nasolacrimal irrigation were prospectively enrolled in the study. Each patient was assessed with lacrimal scintigraphy to differentiate drainage abnormalities as presac (proximal) or postsac (distal) delays.

Effect of Upper Eyelid Blepharoplasty on Vision and Corneal Tomographic Changes Measured By Pentacam.

Purpose: The aim of this study is to determine whether any change occurs in corneal astigmatic values measured by a pentacam and any subjective visual acuity changes occurs following the upper eyelid blepharoplasty.

Methods: This is a prospective study; 43 eyes of 23 patients with dermatochalasis underwent pentacam and surveyed for blurred vision before, 1 and 3 months after blepharoplasty surgery. In the course of those 3 measurements, both refractive and keratometric data were recorded and analyzed.

Retinal Nerve Fibre Layer Thickness in Migraine Patients with or without Aura.

The objective of this study was to evaluate the retinal nerve fibre layer (RNFL) thickness using spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (Optos SD-OCT, UK) in migraine patients with or without aura and to search for possible structural effects of migraine on the retina. Eighty eyes of 40 migraine patients and 80 eyes of 40 healthy subjects were included in this study. All four quadrants (temporal, superior, nasal, and inferior) and average peripapillary RNFL measurements were taken with SD-OCT in both groups.

Painful Ophthalmoplegia Following Dental Procedure.

This case report is about a 26-year-old patient complaining of painful diplopia shortly after a dental procedure. Magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated a mass lesion in the cavernous sinus that responded well to oral corticosteroids. The possible side effect of the intraoral local anaesthetic injection used during the dental procedure was questioned.

A case of recurrent bloody tears.

Well-known causes of blood-tinged epiphora are conjunctival lesions, tumors of the lacrimal apparatus, and systemic bleeding disorders. We describe an unusual patient who presented with recurrent episodes of bloody tearing which began following an erythema multiforme-like drug eruption. He experienced chronic conjunctivitis which resulted in a few minor symblephara.

Benzaldehyde lyase catalyzed enantioselective self and cross condensation reactions of acetaldehyde derivatives.

Flexible protected 1,3,4-trihydroxy-2-butanone is synthesized in high enantiomeric excesses by using asymmetric homo- and cross- acyloin coupling of aliphatic aldehydes catalyzed by benzaldehyde lyase.

Carboligation reactions with benzaldehyde lyase immobilized on superparamagnetic solid support.

Histidine-tagged recombinant benzaldehyde lyase (BAL, EC 4.1.2.

Anterior limbal approach in the treatment of a late and extensive post-traumatic retrobulbar abscess.

The authors report a case of acute development of an extensive retrobulbar abscess 3 weeks after an orbital floor fracture. Urgent drainage of the abscess was performed by an anterior transconjunctival approach. A dramatic recovery was observed a few days following the operation.

Implant infection in porous orbital implants.

Purpose: To analyze implant infection in patients with porous orbital implants.

Methods: A retrospective analysis of 212 patients with one of five types of porous orbital implants (bone-derived hydroxyapatite [HA], coralline HA, synthetic HA, porous polyethylene, and aluminium oxide) was conducted. Reasons for surgery, type of surgery, type of implant, peg system used, time of pegging, problems before and after pegging, treatment, and follow-up duration were recorded for all patients, along with additional data including time of onset of infection, microorganism cultured, antibiotics used, patient response to antibiotic therapy, additional interventions, and final status for patients with infection.
