Background And Purpose: Recent functional MR imaging studies have revealed that the inferior parietal lobule (IPL) supports numerous functions; however, the precise organization of the IPL remains unclear. It has been previously reported that the individual components of the IPL show variable morphologic features; thus, any investigations of IPL function must take into account the variable topography of the IPL. However, it is difficult to understand the topography of the IPL only in transaxial and/or sagittal MR images. We generated volume rendering (VR) images of the brain from high-resolution 3D MR imaging data and analyzed the topography of the IPL.
Materials And Methods: Forty healthy volunteers were examined with 1.5T MR imaging, and VR images were generated. Sulcal continuity, sulcal connections, and the gyral pattern of the IPL were investigated.
Results: The main sulci and gyri were able to be identified excellently on VR images of all volunteers. One long, continuous postcentral sulcus (postCS) was seen in 47.5% and 40% in the right and left hemisphere, respectively. The frequency with which the postCS connected with the anterior end of the IPS was 72.5% and 75% in the right and left, respectively. The gyral pattern of the IPL showed variable morphology.
Conclusions: VR images can depict the sulcal continuity and connections of the IPL accurately. VR imaging is a very useful noninvasive technique to observe the topography of the IPL and should contribute to the investigation of functional localization.

Efficacy of combined doxycycline and intense pulsed light therapy for the management of intractable recurrent chalazion.

Department of Ophthalmology, Chonnam National University Medical School and Hospital, Gwangju, Republic of Korea.
Management of chalazion, characterized by noninfectious chronic granulomatous inflammation of the meibomian glands (MGs), remains challenging in ophthalmic practice, particularly because of its propensity for recurrence even after surgical intervention. This study aimed to evaluate the combined efficacy of doxycycline and intense pulsed light (IPL) therapy for treating intractable recurrent chalazion, focusing on reducing recurrence rates and improving MG status. This retrospective study included patients with intractable recurrent chalazion refractory to conventional treatments including surgical intervention and antibiotics.

Does hand modulate the reshaping of the attentional system during rightward prism adaptation? An fMRI study.

Adaptation to right-deviating prisms (R-PA), that is, learning to point with the right hand to targets perceived through prisms, has been shown to change spatial topography within the inferior parietal lobule (IPL) by increasing responses to left, central, and right targets on the left hemisphere and decreasing responses to right and central targets on the right hemisphere. As pointed out previously, this corresponds to a switch of the dominance of the ventral attentional network from the right to the left hemisphere. Since the encoding of hand movements in pointing paradigms is side-dependent, the choice of right .

Purpose: To topographically map all of the thickness differences in individual retinal layers between early/intermediate age-related macular degeneration (AMDearly/AMDint) and normal eyes and to determine interlayer relationships.
Methods: Ninety-six AMDtotal (48 AMDearly and 48 AMDint) and 96 normal eyes from 192 participants were propensity-score matched by age, sex, and refraction. Retrospective optical coherence tomography (OCT) macular cube scans were acquired, and high-density (60 × 60 0.
