introduction: carbon nanotubes (cnts) have shown enormous potential in neuroscience. nerve growth factor (ngf)-cnts complex promotes the neuronal growth, however, the underlying mechanism(s) have remained elusive. based on the interplay between ngf and the endocannabinoid system, involvement of the neuroprotective endocannabinoid, 2-arachidonoyl glycerol (2-ag), was investigated in the mechanis...

purpose: congenital third nerve palsy was generally thought to exist in isolation without associated abnormalities. in this report, we present a case of congenital third nerve palsy in osteogenesis imperfecta. methods: a 6-month-old girl with osteogenesis imperfceta presented with ptosis and large incomitant exotropia in left eye (le) at birth. ocular examination revealed total third nerve pals...
