Clinical characteristics and surgical outcomes of acute acquired concomitant esotropia in a tertiary referral centre in Malaysia.

Introduction: Acute acquired concomitant esotropia (AACE) is an uncommon type of strabismus that occurs due to interruption of fusion. Limited data are available on AACE from Asian countries especially from the Southeast Asian region. We aim to describe the clinical profile and surgical outcomes of AACE patients treated in a tertiary hospital in Malaysia.

Diffuse Unilateral Subacute Neuroretinitis: Challenges in Diagnosis and Management.

We report two cases of diffuse unilateral subacute neuroretinitis (DUSN) where multimodal imaging was used to assist in locating the nematode. The first case presented with clusters of migrating choroiditis with a suspicious tiny visualized worm noted on serial fundus photography. The second case had an atypical presentation with extensive exudative retinal detachment and a suspicious coiled worm in the subretinal space noted on optical coherence tomography.

Optic canal characteristics in pediatric syndromic craniosynostosis.

The aim of this study was to compare optic canal parameters of syndromic craniosynostosis patients with those of normal patients to visit the possibility of optic nerve impingement as a cause of visual impairment. Computed tomography scan images were processed using the Materialise Interactive Medical Image Control System (MIMICS) Research 21.0 software (Materialise NV, Leuven, Belgium).

Exploring hidden diversity in Southeast Asia's Dermogenys spp. (Beloniformes: Zenarchopteridae) through DNA barcoding.

Members of the freshwater halfbeak genus Dermogenys are hard to identify to the species level, despite several previous attempts to isolate fixed meristic, morphometric and colour pattern differences. This has led to ongoing confusion in scientific literature, records of species occurrence, and entries in museum collections. Here, a DNA barcoding study was conducted on the genus to gain further understanding of its taxonomic status across the Southeast Asian region.

Assessing the species composition of tropical eels (Anguillidae) in Aceh Waters, Indonesia, with DNA barcoding gene .

The objective of the present study was to evaluate the species diversity of eels native to Aceh waters based on genetic data. Sampling was conducted in western coast waters of Aceh Province, Indonesia, from July to August 2016. Genomic DNA was extracted from the samples, a genomic region from the 5' region of the gene was amplified and sequenced, and this was then used to analyse genetic variation.
