Anatomical studies demonstrate selective compartmental innervation of most human extraocular muscles (EOMs), suggesting the potential for differential compartmental control. This was supported by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) demonstrating differential lateral rectus (LR) compartmental contraction during ocular counterrolling, differential medial rectus (MR) compartmental contraction during ...

BACKGROUND Humeral avulsion of the inferior glenohumeral ligament is a rare injury resulting from hyperabduction and external rotation, and it is most commonly seen with sports-related injuries, including those from volleyball. The anterior band of the inferior glenohumeral ligament is most commonly injured (93%), whereas the posterior band is infrequently injured. The axillary pouch humeral av...

abstract horseshoe lung is a congenital pulmonary malformation that is usually associated with scimitar syndrome. this malformation consists of fusion of both pulmonary lobes from the posterobasal segments. the fusion appears in the retrocardiac area, in front of the esophagus and thoracic aorta. pleural separation of pulmonary lobes distinguishes pseudohorseshoe appearance from a true horsesho...

Scimitar syndrome is a rare association of congenital cardiopulmonary anomalies characterized by partial anomalous pulmonary venous return, in which an abnormal right pulmonary vein drains into the inferior vena cava. This case exemplifies the role of transesophageal echocardiography in perioperative management and surgical decision-making.

purpose: to determine the effect of recession and myectomy on inferior oblique overaction (iooa). method: this study was performed on 50 patients (82 eyes) scheduled for iooa surgery who were randomly divided into two groups: recession (r) versus myectomy (m). a complete eye examination was performed before the operation. io was cut off at its inferior temporal region when using m procedure. in...

Four patients are reported who underwent repair of partial anomalous pulmonary venous drainage with intact atrial septum. One patient also had azygos continuation of the inferior vena cava and two patients had associated mitral stenosis. Diagnostic considerations and guidelines for operative repair are presented.

UNLABELLED The use of antibiotics is a common practice among otorhinolaryngogists for surgical procedures. The majority of the American Rhinology Society members uses post-operative antibiotics routinely in septoplasties, which is considered unnecessary by many authors. AIM To study the real necessity of the antibiotic usage in septoplasties, as well as the main post-operative complications d...
