Article Synopsis
- This study focused on measuring the size and volume of the lacrimal gland in patients with inactive thyroid eye disease, comparing findings with existing literature.
- Conducted from 2015 to 2020, the study involved 21 patients, primarily men, who reported dryness but generally had good vision and mild eye protrusion.
- Results showed that the lacrimal gland was enlarged in these patients, highlighting that even inactive thyroid eye disease affects gland size, but no specific factors like age or sex were linked to the enlargement.
Aim: To determine whether the levator palpebrae superioris (LPS)/superior rectus (SR) muscle complex, can influence the position of the upper lid and fornix in acquired anophthalmic sockets.
Methods: This comparative non-randomized and non-interventional study included retrospective data of 21 patients with unilateral acquired anophthalmic sockets repaired with spheric implants. High-resolution computed tomography (CT) measurements of the LPM/SR muscle complex and clinical topographic position of the upper lid, superior and inferior fornix depth in primary gaze position were evaluated.
Article Synopsis
- * A case study of a 24-year-old male highlighted the successful removal of a large 51 mm NDC using a minimally invasive transnasal endoscopic marsupialization technique, with no postoperative complications after 3 months.
- * With about 1% of the population affected by NDC, the surgical removal under general anesthesia and regular follow-ups are recommended for proper management, though the exact cause of the cyst remains unknown.
Roadway departure (RwD) crashes are significant safety concerns, especially at horizontal curves. The design of these curves plays a crucial role in mitigating RwD crashes. Thus, a thorough understanding of the interaction between driver behavior, vehicle automation, and geometric design is vital.

Basal ganglia calcification that is bilaterally symmetrical is a hallmark of this illness. Although the specific origins of this illness are unknown, it may be brought on by problems with calcium metabolism, infections, toxins, hereditary factors, hypoparathyroidism, and pseudohypoparathyroidism.
