Prognosis of Methanol Poisoning in a Developing Setting.

Background: Methanol-poisoning can be a challenging cause of mortality. Identifying the epidemiological, clinical, and para-clinical determinants of outcome in methanol-poisoning patients could be a step forward to its management.

Methods: In this hospital-based cohort study, 123 methanol-poisoning patients were included.

Prevalence of increased intraocular pressure in patients with Graves' ophthalmopathy and association with ophthalmic signs and symptoms in the north-west of Iran.

Introduction: Graves' ophthalmopathy (GO) is the most common extra-thyroidal manifestation of Graves' disease and is characterized by multiple ocular symptoms such as eyelid retraction, lid lag, proptosis, elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) and ultimately loss of vision. We aimed to investigate the prevalence of increased IOP in Graves' patients and association with ophthalmic signs and symptoms in north-west of Iran.

Materials And Methods: This descriptive cross-sectional study recruited 93 patients with GO who were diagnosed based on clinical and laboratory examinations.
