In this paper, we propose an eye detection method that is robust to facial pose changes using gradient directional features of brightness and a particle filter. The rejection function of incorrect eye detection in the proposed method allows for the eye detection again even if the eye is incorrectly detected. In this method, to estimate the boundary between the iris and sclera or eyelid, the gra...

Introduction: Ocular neoplasm being the most important cause of morbidity and mortality, early diagnosis and detection of the pathology is crucial for proper treatment and better prognosis. In clinical practice, eye Tumours and Tumour-like lesions can be classified into extraand intra-ocular. Benign growth of eyelid includes xanthelasma, molluscum, warts, naevus, angioma and other tumers common...

BACKGROUND Processed EEG monitoring of anaesthetic depth could be useful in patients receiving general anaesthesia following subarachnoid haemorrhage. We conducted an observational study comparing performance characteristics of bispectral index (BIS) and entropy monitoring systems in these patients. METHODS Thirty-one patients of the World Federation of Neurosurgeons grades 1 and 2, undergoin...

Case Description-A four-year old Balami ram weighing 120kg was presented to the University of Maiduguri Veterinary Teaching Hospital (UMVTH) with extensive swelling and ulceration of the nictating membrane of the left eye. Clinical Findings-A dark red hard mass on the third eyelid was covering the entire eyeball. The visible mass measured 5cm vertically and 7cm horizontally. Pus exudate was exp...

BACKGROUND Patient-reported outcome (PRO) measures have been used to assess treatment benefit in a variety of therapeutic areas and are now becoming increasingly important in aesthetic research. OBJECTIVES The objective of the current study was to develop and validate a new PRO measure (Eyelash Satisfaction Questionnaire [ESQ]) to assess satisfaction with eyelash prominence. METHODS The con...

The orientation of iris texture will influence the iris recognition rate and the 2 dimensional Gabor filters (2-D Gabor) has better selectivity in orientation and frequency, so the multi-scales and multi directions 2-D Gabor filters can be used to extract the iris features. But there are many shortcomings such as long extraction feature time and high feature dimensions to use the traditional 2-...

INTRODUCTION The pathologic relevance of Demodex infestation in blepharitis is still controversial. The aim of the study was to determine the prevalence of Demodex spp. in eyelash follicles and its relationship to eye symptoms. MATERIAL AND METHODS A total of 290 individuals were studied for the presence of Demodex folliculorum and Demodex brevis within eyelash follicles. Participants belonge...
