Ophthalmic artery blood flow in 5 patients with internal carotid artery occlusion of sudden onset was monitored by an ultrasonic Doppler flowmeter to investigate the possible relationship to spontaneous recanalization of the occluded artery. The occluded internal carotid arteries of 2 patients were confirmed angiographically to recanalize and the reversed flow of their ophthalmic arteries chang...

Timolol maleate has a molecular weight of 432.50. It is a white, odorless, crystalline powder which is soluble in water, methanol, and alcohol. Timolol maleate is stable at room temperature. Timolol maleate ophthalmic solution is supplied in two formulations: Ophthalmic Solution TIMOPTIC* (timolol maleate ophthalmic solution), which contains the preservative benzalkonium chloride; and Ophthalmi...

Background: Ophthalmic conditions are common manifestations in patients with rheumatic diseases (RDs), orbital myositis (OM) remain rare. Only 1 case each for scleroderma and undifferentiated connective tissue disease (UCTD) reported. Objectives: Report frequency of Rheumatic Diseases OM (RDs-OM), diagnosis treatments. Methods: Patients database were obtained from trust electronic record litera...

malities of dentition. The disease generally progresses until puberty and may regress in adulthood. Radiologically, the radiolucent bony lesions are cystic and multiloculated in nature and are bilateral. These findings in conjunction with the clinical presentation are usually enough to make a diagnosis. Unless surgical intervention is needed for genetic or reconstructive purposes, a confirmator...

BACKGROUND Cataract is the leading cause of blindness in developing countries and identification of the barriers to accessing treatment is essential for developing appropriate public healthcare interventions. To evaluate the barriers to cataract surgery after diagnosis and assess the postoperative outcomes in Sao Paolo State, Brazil. METHODS This prospective study evaluated cataract patients ...

BACKGROUND Pituitary stalk interruption syndrome (PSIS) may induce an isolated growth hormone (GH) deficiency or multiple hypothalamic-pituitary (HP) deficiencies. Patients with multiple HP deficiencies, primarily those with adrenocorticotropin (ACTH) deficiency, are at increased risk of morbidity and mortality. Our objective was to identify the factors influencing each symptom and the MRI feat...

Purpose: To evaluate the feasibility of developing a novel mini drug pump for ophthalmic use. Methods: Using principles of microelectromechanical systems engineering, a mini drug pump was fabricated. The pumping mechanism is based on electrolysis and the pump also includes a port for drug refill as well as a check valve to control delivery of the drug. Drug pumps were first tested on the bench-...

PURPOSE To perform a comprehensive and systematic review regarding ophthalmic adverse drug reactions (ADRs) to systemic drugs to: (i) systematically summarize existing evidence, (ii) identify areas, ophthalmic ADRs or drugs that lacked systematization or assessment (namely drugs with original studies characterizing specific ophthalmic ADRs but without causality assessment nor without meta-analy...
