Hospitalization for Nontraumatic Disorders of the Eye and Ocular Adnexa

Patterns of emergency department visits for disorders of the eye and ocular adnexa.

OBJECTIVE To characterize the magnitude and patterns of visits to the emergency department (ED) for problems related to the eye and ocular adnexa. METHODS The National Hospital Ambulatory Medical Care Survey was used to obtain information on ED visits in the United States for conditions of the eye and ocular adnexa in 1993.

Tumors of the eye and ocular adnexa at the Philippine Eye Research Institute: a 10-year review

OBJECTIVE We aimed to identify and describe the clinicopathologic characteristics of tumors of the eye and ocular adnexa at the Philippine Eye Research Institute. METHODS The pathology reports of specimens submitted to the Ocular Pathology Section of the Philippine Eye Research Institute over a 10-year period (2003-2012) were reviewed, and collected data was subjected to descriptive statistic...

Secretory immune system of rabbit ocular adnexa

tial, as seen from an initial rapid rise of each slow PHI in Fig. 3, but the contamination is again small enough for the present purpose. The three sets of tracings in Fig. 3, B, show the result of simulation with the use of the circuit in Fig. 1, B, with three different values of time constant (4.5, 9, and 18 sec) and each rod potential in Fig. 3, A, used as an input. The tracings show that th...

Primary Neuroendocrine Carcinoma of Ocular Adnexa

We present our findings in a case of primary neuroendocrine carcinoma (NEC) of the lacrimal gland and a case of primary Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) of the eyelid. An 86-year-old man noticed a swelling of the left upper eyelid three months earlier. We performed excision biopsy and histopathological examination indicated that he had a primary NEC of the left lacrimal gland. He underwent chemother...
