This meta-analysis evaluated the efficacy and safety of nemolizumab in treating prurigo nodularis through a systematic review of randomized controlled trials. A comprehensive literature search was conducted across multiple databases, including PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science, identifying relevant studies until January 5th 2025. Four randomized controlled trials involving 859 participants were included in the final analysis.

Telehealth visits result in high-quality care, with high patient and provider satisfaction. Strong evidence suggests that virtual physical therapy is noninferior to conventional face-to-face physical therapy for a variety of musculoskeletal disorders. Postoperative telerehabilitation has a strong positive effect on clinical outcomes, and the increased intensity telerehabilitation programs offer is a promising option for patients.

- The study aimed to compare upper eyelid excursion (ULE) between normal and ptotic eyelids using digital brow stenting to see how it affects eyelid movement.
- Researchers included 28 normal eyelids and 28 ptotic eyelids, measuring ULE with and without brow stenting in various gaze positions.
- Results showed that brow stenting increased ULE significantly in normal eyelids by about 1.2 mm, but did not have a significant effect on ptotic eyelids, possibly due to compensatory muscle efforts.
The Relationship Between Eyebrow and Eyelid Position in Patients With Ptosis, Dermatochalasis and Controls.

December 2019
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how mechanical and neural factors affect brow elevation in individuals with ptosis and dermatochalasis.
- The research involved measuring brow height and eyelid position under different conditions, revealing that mechanical brow elevation significantly affected eyelid position in normal and dermatochalasis eyelids, but not in ptosis cases.
- Results indicate that in ptosis, voluntary brow elevation can elevate the eyelid similarly to maximal eyelid opening, suggesting that brow movements may be responses to attempts to lift the eyelid rather than purely mechanical lifts.
Predictors of Success Following Müller's Muscle-Conjunctival Resection.
Ophthalmic Plast Reconstr Surg
September 2018
Purpose: This study aims to describe Müller's muscle-conjunctival resection surgery in terms of outcomes and potential factors that may predict final positions.
Methods: This cross-sectional cohort study included patients undergoing Müller's muscle-conjunctival resection surgery for involutional ptosis over a 15-year period. Success was defined in 2 ways: 1) final marginal reflex distance 1 (MRD1) ≥2.
Change in Eyelid Position Following Muller's Muscle Conjunctival Resection With a Standard Versus Variable Resection Length.
Ophthalmic Plast Reconstr Surg
August 2018
Purpose: This study compares the use of a standard 7 mm resection length to a variable 4:1 ratio of resection length to desired elevation nomogram when performing Muller's muscle conjunctival resection surgery.
Methods: In this cross-sectional case control study, 2 groups were defined. The first underwent Muller's muscle conjunctival resection surgery with a standard 7 mm resection length and the second underwent the same surgery with a variable resection length determined by a 4:1 ratio of resection length to desired elevation nomogram.
Orbital arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) are rare vascular lesions that may be managed with endovascular embolization followed by surgical resection. Embolization is often accomplished with n-butyl-2-cyanoacrylate (nBCA), which is considered to be a safe and effective liquid occlusive agent. Localized vascular inflammation has been associated with endovascular nBCA use in histopathologic studies, but reports of systemic hypersensitivity reactions following endovascular embolization with nBCA are rare.

August 2018
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to validate the accuracy of marginal reflex distance 1 (MRD1) measurements obtained by the Volk Eye Check system, a modified smartphone that measures MRD1 automatically, relative to clinical and digital measurements.
Methods: In this prospective observational study of adults with normal eyelids and ptosis, MRD1 was measured clinically, digitally, and automatically with the Volk device. Eyes were divided into successful versus unsuccessful Volk trial groups; successful eyes were then subdivided into control and ptosis subgroups.
Association of Eyelid Position and Facial Nerve Palsy With Unresolved Weakness.
JAMA Facial Plast Surg
September 2016
Article Synopsis
- Understanding eyelid malpositions in facial nerve palsy (FNP) can assist in patient care and enhance knowledge of eyelid physiology.
- This study involved reviewing 52 patients with FNP to assess various eyelid conditions such as asymmetry, retraction, and ptosis through measurements taken from photographs.
- Results showed that a significant portion of patients exhibited eyelid asymmetry and that those with asymmetry experienced higher rates of contralateral ptosis, indicating a complex relationship between eyelid features and FNP.
