Angiographically silent macular retinoschisis and vitreomacular traction in a patient with same - side Duane retraction syndrome.
Strabismus
September 2024
Department of Ophthalmology, Dokuz Eylül University Faculty of Medicine, İzmir, Türkey.
Article Synopsis
- A 75-year-old woman was diagnosed with unilateral Duane retraction syndrome (DRS) type 3, presenting unique fundus features.
- Various imaging techniques showed limited eye movement, globe retraction, and significant macular retinoschisis in the left eye.
- This case represents the first reported instance of coincidental macular retinoschisis associated with DRS, highlighting potential ocular abnormalities linked to the syndrome.
Unmasking anxiety: a head-to-head comparison of open and closed masks in head and neck cancer radiotherapy.
Rep Pract Oncol Radiother
June 2024
St. Luke's Radiation Oncology Network, Dublin, Ireland.
Background: Facemasks accurately immobilise patients with head and neck cancer (HNC) receiving radiotherapy (RT). However, such masks are associated with treatment related distress, a prognostic factor for poorer survival. Open masks offer increased comfort and patient satisfaction.

Pract Radiat Oncol
January 2025
St. Luke's Radiation Oncology Network, St. Luke's Hospital, Dublin, Ireland; Discipline of Radiation Therapy, Trinity St James's Cancer Institute, Trinity College Dublin, Dublin, Ireland.
Purpose: This study quantifies intrafraction motion in surface-guided radiation therapy (SGRT) for breast cancer and considers the need for individualized intrafraction motion measures when calculating planning target volume (PTV) margins.
Methods And Materials: SGRT was used to assess intrafraction motion in consecutive patients according to (1) site irradiated (whole-breast/chest wall vs whole-breast/chest wall + regional lymph nodes) and (2) the use of deep inspiration breath hold versus free breathing. Intrafraction motion variation was evaluated throughout the treatment course for all cases.
Has children's oral health-related quality of life improved more following necrotic primary molars pulpectomy or extraction?
Evid Based Dent
June 2024
Dublin Dental University Hospital, Trinity College Dublin, Dublin, Ireland.
Study Design: A randomised parallel controlled clinical trial was conducted between 2013 and 2015 at the University of Sao Paulo, Brazil, to assess the impact of pulpectomy or extraction on the oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) of children with pulp necrosis in primary molars.
Study Selection: Children between the ages of 3 and 5 who were in good health but had extensive caries in at least one primary molar with signs of pulpal necrosis (also as seen radiographically, caries reaching the pulp with no signs of internal or external resorption) were considered for inclusion. Additionally, teeth with sufficient structure for rubber dam placement were also included.
MRI evaluation of cranial nerve abnormalities and extraocular muscle fibrosis in duane retraction syndrome and congenital extraocular muscle fibrosis.
Graefes Arch Clin Exp Ophthalmol
August 2024
Clinical College of Ophthalmology, Tianjin Medical University, Tianjin, China.
Article Synopsis
- The study examines changes in extraocular muscles (EOMs) using MRI in patients with Duane retraction syndrome (DRS) and congenital fibrosis of extraocular muscles (CFEOM) to improve diagnosis.
- Researchers conducted MRI scans on 41 patients (27 with DRS, 14 with CFEOM) and developed machine learning models to predict disease types and cranial nerve abnormalities.
- Results showed significant differences in EOM volumes associated with various cranial nerve issues, highlighting the importance of MRI in diagnosing congenital cranial neurodevelopmental disorders.
