Trauma to the eye represents approximately 3% of all emergency department visits in the United States. Rapid assessment and examination following trauma to the eye is crucial. A thorough knowledge of potential injuries is imperative to ensure rapid diagnosis, to prevent further damage to the eye, and to preserve visual capacity. This article describes the aspects of the eye examination that mer...

In this paper, we present GlobeMash, a mashup web application that uses standardized data formats like XML, JSON, LOM, SVG, CAM and protocols like SOAP, HTTP, to enable users to access the repositories of the Global Learning Objects Brokered Exchange (GLOBE) consortium. GlobeMash uses the Google Maps API to display the repositories and results on a geographical map, the Timeline API of the SIMI...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Patients with LS have an inborn growth hormone resistance, resulting in failure to generate IGF-1. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the size of the eye and orbit in LS. MATERIALS AND METHODS We retrospectively reviewed the MR imaging of the brain in 9 patients with LS for the following parameters: axial diameter of the globe, interzygomatic distance, perpendicu...

We report a case of thyroid carcinoma metastatic to the globe. In our survey we found thyroid carcinomas to metastasise to the eye rarely. In addition, we found metastases from the thyroid to be more common to the orbit than to the globe--a reverse of the pattern noted with tumours in general.

A location service tracks and locates objects. Such a service should provide efficient means for updating and looking up an object’s address, especially for those that are mobile. However, current location services have limited scalability due to poor exploitation of locality and ineffective caching. An important aspect of efficient caching in the presence of mobility is to identify boundaries ...

purpose : the goal of this study was evaluation of the incidence rate of posttraumatic endophthalmitis, its clinical features and probable risk factors in repaired open globe injuries. methods : in this retrospective case series, surgical and medical records of 600 patients with open globe injury were reviewed. patients who underwent primary repair (as soon as possible) in khatam-al-anbia eye h...
