Operative technique for a combined transcaruncular-transconjunctival approach to double-walled orbital fractures.

Double-walled orbital fractures involving the floor and medial wall are commonly encountered in instances of significant midface trauma. Operative intervention is indicated in the presence of persistent diplopia, significant enophthalmos, or muscle entrapment. Surgical repair of these injuries may be challenging due to large fracture sizes or loss of bony supports.

Increased Temperatures Are Associated with Increased Utilization of Emergency Medical Services in Rhode Island.

Background: Increasing temperatures negatively impact health and increases demands on healthcare systems. However, this has been poorly studied in Rhode Island (RI). Here we characterize the impact of heat on emergency medical services (EMS) utilization in RI.

Cardiac involvement in COVID-19 patients: Risk factors, predictors, and complications: A review.
