Acute acquired comitant esotropia (AACE) is an unusual presentation of esotropia that occurs after infancy. This study was aimed to study the clinical features and the differences between children and adult patients with AACE in the Chinese populations.This was a retrospective analysis of patients diagnosed with AACE over 4 years; 69 patients (25 females and 44 males) were identified. The patie...

Of 94 hairy cell leukemia (HCL) patients studied for immunologic phenotype of their hairy cells, 89 patients had B cell markers and five patients were both surface immunoglobulin (slg) negative and E rosette negative. Forty of the 77 cases that had the heavy chains individually determined had IgG only (52.0%); 23 others had IgG in addition to other Ig heavy chains. Seventy-nine patients had mon...

Chronic two-kidney, one clip (2K1C) renovascular hypertension is characterized by a largely angiotensin-independent elevated blood pressure (BP). We hypothesized that the long-term effect of hypertension would compromise endothelium-derived nitric oxide (NO) and diminish its influence in controlling renal perfusion. We determined the influence of endothelium-derived NO on renal hemodynamics and...

Twenty-five crossbred gilts were used in an experiment to determine the tryptophan (Trp) requirement for reproduction. L-tryptophan was added to a fortified corn-gelatin diet to attain the five Trp levels of .64, 1.04, 1.44, 1.84 and 2.24 g per day. These diets were fed at 2 kg daily during pregnancy I and 1.82 kg daily during pregnancies II and III. During each 3-week lactation, all animals we...

It is common to summarize statistical comparisons by declarations of statistical significance or non-significance. Here we discuss one problem with such declarations, namely that changes in statistical significance are often not themselves statistically significant. By this, we are not merely making the commonplace observation that any particular threshold is arbitrary—for example, only a small...

Retrospective analysis of surgical outcomes for enucleation in pediatric retinoblastoma stage 5B using the snare wire loop (n = 55) and standard curved enucleation scissors (n = 22) revealed that a statistically significant longer mean optic nerve length was obtained with the snare (13.35 mm) compared with scissors (11.05 mm; P = .005). Four scissor cases had prolonged bleeding and required thr...
