The superior oblique tendon sheath syndrome was first described by Brown (I950), who noted that many cases of apparent congenital paresis of the inferior oblique muscle had restricted elevation in adduction on passive duction testing. At operation he observed thickening of the anterior part of the superior oblique tendon sheath, and whern this was stripped away a full range of passive movements...

INTRODUCTION Patients with superior oblique muscle palsy often assume a compensatory head tilt to the contralateral side of the affected eye. This tilt serves to decrease the hypertropia and, in theory, might decrease the excyclotropia. METHODS A prospective investigation was undertaken of the effect of forced head tilt to the right and left on torsion and the hypertropia in patients with uni...

We describe a novel treatment of superior oblique myokymia. A 40-year-old woman was treated with gabapentin for this disorder with partial success and reported significant side effects including loss of libido and weight gain. After a drug holiday, memantine therapy was initiated resulting in a substantial improvement in her symptoms with far fewer side effects and stability on long-term mainte...

Fritz John and Karush-Kuhn-Tucker type optimality conditions for a nondifferentiable multiobjective variational problem are derived. As an application of Karush-Kuhn-Tucker type optimality conditions, Mond-weir type second-order nondifferentiable multiobjective dual variational problems is constructed. Various duality results for the pair of Mond-Weir type second-order dual variational problems...

Basic experiments were conducted on a large-size broad-crested weir with a rounded corner. Detailed free-surface, velocity, and pressure measurements were performed for a range of flow conditions. The results showed the rapid flow distribution at the upstream end of the weir and next to the weir brink at large flow rates. The flow properties above the crest were analyzed taking into account the...

Different flow-altering methods, such as W−Weirs, have been developed to reduce erosion. For this study, we performed two experiments: (1) installing a W−Weir in various positions determine the best angle for placement, and (2) investigating variation of flow patterns bed shear stress distribution 90-degree sharp bend by measuring 3D components velocities, with without where greatest scour dept...
