متن کاملTear film dynamics in floppy eyelid syndrome.
PURPOSE Floppy eyelid syndrome (FES) presents nonspecific ocular surface irritation. The hypothesis for the current study was that one contributing factor is the abnormality in tear film dynamics. METHODS Sixteen patients with FES were consecutively examined. Tear film dynamics were evaluated by kinetic tear interference images, infrared thermometry, water evaporation rate, tear break-up time...
متن کاملSpontaneous Eye Herniation Associated with Floppy Eyelid Syndrome and Non-invasive Posi- Tive Pressure Ventilation (nppv)
Case Reports:Noninvasive positive pressure ventilation (NPPV) allows the delivery of positive pressure mechanical ventilation to the lungs without endotracheal intubation. NPPV is used for the management of both acute and chronic respiratory failure. The few complications of NPPV complications include aspiration of gastric content, epistaxis, conjunctivitis, and contact dermatitis. We present a...
