Purpose: To report the results of strabismus surgery in a series of patients with Graves' orbitopathy (GO), using topical anaesthesia with intraoperative suture adjustment.
Methods: All first-time strabismus surgeries in patients with GO in our department during the years 2014-2021 (n = 45) were assessed retrospectively. Among these, 31% came from outside our health region due to increased complexity of the strabismus condition.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the long-term effects of prenatal OMT exposure on children aged 5-13, focusing on brain volume and motor functions.
- It includes 55 OMT-exposed children and 59 control children, using MRI and various tests to analyze brain structure and function.
- Results showed that OMT-exposed children had smaller brain volumes and specific brain structures, suggesting potential negative impacts on brain development and function.
Aim: Preschool children prenatally exposed to opioid maintenance therapy (OMT) have an increased risk of neurodevelopmental impairments. We aimed to investigate long-term motor and visual-motor integration outcome in children aged 5-13 Years, born to mothers in OMT.
Methods: From January 2018 to June 2021, 63 children prenatally exposed to OMT and 63 comparison children matched for age and gender, were examined at two Norwegian hospitals.
Purpose: To assess various aspects of visual function in school children prenatally exposed to opioid maintenance therapy (OMT) and to explore possible outcome differences between prenatal methadone and buprenorphine exposure.
Methods: In a cross-sectional case-control study, 63 children aged 5-13 years with prenatal OMT exposure were compared with 63 age- and gender-matched, non-exposed controls regarding important visual parameters, such as visual acuity, orthoptic status, refractive state, colour vision, and visual field.
Results: The OMT-exposed children had significantly poorer visual acuity, both for the best eye, the worst eye and binocularly.
Background: Histologic chorioamnionitis (HCA) is most often caused by ascending bacterial infection originating from the cervicovaginal tract.
Objectives: To investigate whether HCA with a fetal inflammatory response (FIR) has a worse clinical outcome than HCA alone. Further, if FIR or a positive maternal microbiologic culture obtained prior to birth were related to adverse neonatal outcomes in a cohort of extremely preterm (EP) neonates.
