A review of ophthalmology surgical and non-surgical interventions for intermittent exotropia conducted for the Cochrane Database (Hatt and Gnanaraj, 2006) concluded that the available medical literature consists mainly of retrospective case reviews which are difficult to reliably interpret and analyse. The one randomised trial included found unilateral surgery more effective than bilateral surg...

BACKGROUND To investigate the accommodative loads change needed to maintain binocular fusion in patients with intermittent exotropia (IXT). METHODS Seventeen consecutive patients with basic IXT and 15 normal controls were recruited. The WAM-5500 autorefractor (GrandSeiko, Fukuyama, Japan) was used to measure refractive error (D) under binocular and monocular viewing conditions at 6 m, 50 cm, ...

Terahertz (THz) and intelligent reflecting surface (IRS) have been regarded as two promising technologies to improve the capacity coverage for future 6G networks. Generally, IRS is usually equipped with large-scale elements when implemented at THz frequency. In this case, near-field model beam squint should be considered. Therefore, in paper, we investigate far-field problems communications fir...

PURPOSE To report the outcomes in patients undergoing surgical correction of intermittent exotropia and to compare the age at surgery to motor and sensory success. METHODS This was a retrospective cohort study. The results of patients with intermittent exotropia treated with surgery over a 4-year period were reviewed. Patients were divided into two groups based on age at first surgery (<4 yea...

AIM To assess the consecutive recurrence following early success of intermittent exotropia surgery and to determine the clinical factors that affect the survival. METHODS One hundred and thirty-five patients who underwent intermittent exotropia surgery and experienced early surgical success [≤5 prism diopters (PD) esophoria (E) to ≤10 PD exophoria (X) on the postoperative sixth month] were en...

A little knowledge may be a dangerous thing, but there is another side to the picture, and even a slight knowvledge will reveal possibilities and make limitations clearer. The imore a man knows in any branch of medicine, the less liable he is to dogmatism, with its consequent errors and dangers. A knowledge of the nature and function of radiology, and its possibilities in diagnosis and therapeu...

In this paper, methods to separate the ionospheric and the scattering contributions on SAR data are proposed, and the dynamic components of the ionosphere and the lithosphere are quantitatively retrieved. These methods exploit changes of squint and time in the azimuth subbands.

The limbal approach is not new to squint surgery* but, despite its considerable advantages in exposure and subsequent healing, the methods described so far are not easy to perform to obtain the best final results. In particular, the incision commonly described needs very accurate suturing of the conjunctival flap with its two radially placed incisions to achieve a good cosmetic result. The meth...

SUMMARY SQUINT is a sequence alignment tool, and combines both automated progressive sequence alignment with facilities for manual editing. The program imports nucleotide or amino acid sequence multiple alignment files in standard formats, and permits users to view two translations of the same multiple alignment simultaneously. Edits in one view are instantaneously reflected in the other, and t...
