PURPOSE To present a successful case of single-staged total upper eyelid reconstruction after sebaceous gland carcinoma excision by using forehead galeal pericranial flap. OBSERVATIONS An 80-year-old female with a progressively enlarged left upper eyelid mass presented with ocular irritation, blurred vision, and gritty sensation despite topical antibiotics treatment. This multinodular mass in...

A double-blind stratified treatment trial was carried out on 108 patients with moderate to severe trachoma in a village in Southern Iran to assess the efficacy of topical therapy of I % rifampicin eye ointment or 1% spiramycin eye ointment in comparison with 1% oxytetracycline eye ointment.

We constrain SH and P wave velocity structures in the upper mantle beneath southern Africa, using triplicated phases recorded in the epicentral distance range of 11°–28° for one shallow event. We then explore thermal and compositional models appropriate for explaining the inferred seismic structures in the region. Both SH and P wave data suggest presence of a low velocity zone with velocity red...
