Results of Unilateral Lateral Rectus Recession Surgery in 15 - 30 PD Intermittent Exotropia.

Purpose: To evaluate the surgical outcomes of unilateral lateral rectus muscle recession (ULR) with low surgical dosage in patients with intermittent exotropia (IXT) of 15 - 30 prism dioptres (PD).

Methods: We retrospectively analysed 92 eyes of 92 patients who underwent ULR surgery with the diagnosis of IXT of 15 - 30 PD at distance fixation between January 2017 and June 2019. ULR surgery of 6.

Changes in Visual Field Indices after Pterygium Surgery.

Objectives: This study was a prospective evaluation of changes in the results of visual field tests taken before and after pterygium excision.

Methods: This was a prospective, single-center study. Seventy-five eyes of 75 patients who had undergone pterygium excision with autograft implantation were enrolled.

Facilitated Tenon-Free Conjunctival Autograft Preparation and Limited Tenon Removal Technique in Pterygium Surgery.

Background: The main complication of primary pterygium surgery is the recurrence of the pterygium. In the present study, we aimed to compare a classical technique and facilitated tenon-free conjunctival autograft preparation and a limited tenon removal technique in pterygium surgery in terms of recurrence rate, complications, and operation duration.

Material And Methods: This is a retrospective, comparative, observational study.

Investigating Estrogen and Progesterone Receptors in the Lacrimal Sacs of Individuals With and Without Chronic Dacryocystitis.

Objectives: Chronic dacryocystitis is usually seen in middle-aged or older women, suggesting that decreased estrogen and progesterone serum levels may be a causative factor in the disease pathology. However, the occurrence of the disease in premenopausal females and males suggests that there may be more to the explanation than the level of female sex hormones. The purpose of the present study was to investigate estrogen and progesterone receptor positivity in the lacrimal sacs of individuals with and without chronic dacryocystitis.

Micronuclei frequencies in lymphocytes and cervical cells of women with polycystic ovarian syndrome.

Objective: The aim of this study was to determine micronucleus (MN) frequencies in exfoliated cervical cells and peripheral blood lymphocytes of women with polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS).

Materials And Methods: Fifteen patients with PCOS and 11 healthy control patients were included in the study. Cervical smears and peripheral blood were collected from all patients.

The Effects of Cigarette Smoking on the Tp-e Interval, Tp-e/QT Ratio and Tp-e/QTc Ratio.

Background: Cigarette smoking increases the risk of sudden cardiac death. Smoking may predispose individuals to ventricular fibrillation and sudden cardiac death by altering ventricular repolarization and stimulating sympathetic nervous system activity.

Objectives: The aim of the study was to investigate the instantaneous effects of smoking on ventricular repolarization.
