INTRODUCTION Thyroid orbitopathy is the most common cause of restrictive strabismus. Patients often present with vertical or horizontal double vision, or both, due to restriction involving most commonly the inferior and medial rectus muscles. Traditional muscle surgery involves release of the tight muscles. Previous literature has described a frequent need for secondary operations and an overco...

We construct oblique multi-wavelets bases which encompass the orthogonal multi-wavelets and the biorthogonal uni-wavelets of Cohen, Deaubechies and Feauveau. These oblique multi-wavelets preserve the advantages of orthogonal and biorthogonal wavelets and enhance the flexibility of wavelet theory to accommodate a wider variety of wavelet shapes and properties. Moreover, oblique multi-wavelets ca...

In order to understand the role of oblique retinal image disparities in the perception of stereoscopic depth, we measured the depth perceived from random dot stereograms in which phase disparities were introduced in a selected band of stimulus orientations. A band of orientation was defined by a center orientation that ranged from 7.5 (near vertical) to 82.5 o[rientation]deg and by a bandwidth ...

PURPOSE To determine the anatomical landmark within the internal oblique muscle. MATERIALS AND METHODS In a prospective study, the abdominal wall was examined for internal oblique muscle land marks in 900 patients undergoing laparatomy. RESULTS There was a fat line at anterior superior iliac spine level to access the underlying layers and then to the abdominal cavity. CONCLUSION A fat tri...
