Objective: To evaluate early strabismus treatment in patients suffering from diplopia after orbital decompression for dysthyroid orbitopathy.
Patients And Methods: We conducted a chart review of 51 patients (87 orbits) who underwent orbital decompression from July 1998 to June 2007. Ocular deviations, incidence of diplopia according to the type of decompression performed and the type and results of strabismus surgery were evaluated.
Results: Diplopia was induced by decompression in 34.2% of patients, with no statistically significant difference with respect to the type of decompression performed. Forty-nine percent of patients had postoperative diplopia. Strabismus surgery was performed on average 10.9weeks after decompression. Diplopia persisted in two patients (8%).
Conclusion: Early strabismus surgery and the intraoperative relaxed muscle positioning technique appear to provide favorable results. It allows for a more rapid rehabilitation. Better adapted choice of decompression technique may improve final outcomes.

Background: To investigate the association between obesity and orbital fat expansion in proptosis of thyroid eye disease.
Methods: This observational study retrospectively enrolled 87 participants who received orbital fat decompression surgery for thyroid eye disease. Primary outcome measures included average body mass index (BMI) and the proportion of the study sample with overweight and obesity, compared with the general Taiwanese population.
Concurrent Pressure-Induced Superconductivity and Photoconductivity Transitions in PbSeTe.
Adv Mater
December 2024
Academy for Advanced Interdisciplinary Studies and Department of Physics, Southern University of Science and Technology (SUSTech), Shenzhen, 518055, P. R. China.
Concurrent superconductivity and negative photoconductivity (NPC) are rarely observed. Here, the discovery in PbSeTe of superconductivity and photoconductivity transitions between positive photoconductivity (PPC) and NPC during compression is reported to ≈40 GPa and subsequent decompression, which are also accompanied by reversible structure transitions (3D Fm m ⇌ 2D Pnma ⇌ 3D Pm m). Superconductivity with a maximum T of ≈6.

Graves' disease, a common autoimmune disorder, characteristically presents with upper eyelid retraction, causing significant functional and cosmetic concerns for affected individuals. The management of Graves' upper eyelid retraction has evolved significantly over recent years, with various surgical and non-surgical interventions. An ideal procedure is predictable and easily repeatable.

Department of Ophthalmology, School of Medicine of Ribeirão Preto, University of São Paulo.
Cherubism is a rare fibro-osseous disease characterized by the progressive expansion of the mandible and maxilla during childhood. Orbital involvement occurs in a subset of patients and is clinically manifested as upward displacement of the affected eye. The bony changes tend to spontaneously diminish or even regress after puberty.

South Australian Institute of Ophthalmology, Royal Adelaide Hospital, Adelaide.
The authors present a case of an orbital apex venous malformation that presented with an intermittent oculomotor nerve palsy over a 15-year period. Radiologically, the lesion presented as a well-circumscribed orbital mass with T2 hyperintensity and enhancement that could only be demonstrated on 2-hour delayed phase imaging. The venous malformation was initially steroid-responsive but eventually became refractory to medical treatment alone.
