Article Synopsis
- This study compares the outcomes and characteristics of frontal sling surgery for correcting ptosis in pediatric versus adult patients.
- The research included 62 patients, revealing that simple congenital ptosis was most common in children, while adults often had myogenic ptosis related to systemic conditions.
- The results indicated significant differences in pre-operative measurements and complications, with adults showing higher rates of issues like sling extrusion and a correlation between previous surgeries and postoperative complications.
Background: Sympathetic overstimulation of Müller's muscle is a suggested mechanism underlying upper eyelid retraction in thyroid eye disease (TED). We examined the effect of tamsulosin, an alpha-1 antagonist, on eyelid retraction in patients with TED.
Methods: A single-centre prospective study.
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic inflammatory demyelinating and neurodegenerative disease of the central nervous system (CNS), with a putative autoimmune origin and complex pathogenesis. Modification of the natural history of MS by reducing relapses and slowing disability accumulation was first attained in the 1990 s with the development of the first-generation disease-modifying therapies. Glatiramer acetate (GA), a copolymer of L-alanine, L-lysine, L-glutamic acid, and L-tyrosine, was discovered due to its ability to suppress the animal model of MS, experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis.

- - The study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of short (<120 days) versus long (>180 days) antiviral prophylaxis for preventing cytomegalovirus (CMV) disease in pediatric liver transplant recipients by analyzing data from the Society of Pediatric Liver Transplantation registry between 2015 and 2019.
- - Among the 199 enrolled participants, shorter prophylaxis resulted in higher occurrences of CMV DNAemia (26.8% vs. 13.8%) and CMV syndrome (18.8% vs. 6.9%) compared to longer prophylaxis, while end-organ disease rates were similar between the two groups.
- - Long prophylaxis was associated with a significantly higher incidence of neutropenia (55
