A New Classification of the Lateral Dermatochalasis of Upper Eyelids.

Unlabelled: Eyelid dermatochalasis is an abnormal distention of the upper eyelid. This article presents a new classification of the lateral dermatochalasis (LDC) of the upper eyelids, which compares the pre- and post-blepharoplasty results and matches its results with those of the well-established Jacobs classification (JEC).

Methods: LDC classification includes four degrees: grade zero-absence of dermatochalasis; grade 1-lower edge of dermatochalasis above the intersection of the lacrimal caruncle with the edge of the upper eyelid; grade 2-between the intersection of the lacrimal caruncle with the edge of the upper eyelid and the lower edge of the iris at the pupillary midpoint; and grade 3-lower edge of dermatochalasis below the lower edge of the iris.

Improvement in Food Intolerance Resulting from Roux-En-Y Gastric Bypass after Speech Therapy Intervention in Chewing.

Objective: To evaluate chewing before and after speech therapy intervention in subjects undergoing Roux-en-Y gastric bypass who present with food intolerance.

Materials And Methods: This was a randomized controlled trial, approved by the Brazilian Ethics and Research Committee under n.
