Eight cases of bilateral and 6 cases of unilateral congenital total eversion of the upper eyelids are reported here. It is suggested that an appreciable overlapping of the lower eyelid margin by the upper eyelid is a predisposing factor in the mechanism of eversion in this condition. Treatment by injection of hyaluronidase into the chemotic conjunctiva followed by placement of a lid suture to r...

Purpose: Eversion carotid endarterectomy (CEA) is an effective form of management for atherosclerotic carotid bifurcation disease. Despite the early origins of this technique, it is still used infrequently as an alternative to the standard longitudinal patch closure. In this study we outline our results with the use of eversion endarterectomy for carotid disease over the past 14 years in over 7...

BACKGROUND/AIMS To investigate if restoration of esophago-intestinal or esophago-gastric continuity with a jejunal pouch after total or proximal gastrectomy has clinical benefits. METHODS We reviewed all relevant reports published after 1990 that dealt with the clinical results of reconstruction with a jejunal pouch after total and proximal gastrectomies and correlated those findings with res...

Background In clinical practice, out-toeing is often linked with an increased eversion and an increased medial pressure distribution. However, in the literature, there is little evidence for this relationship. On the other hand, as an increased eversion and an increased medial pressure distribution have been detected as risk factors for exerciserelated lower leg pain (ERLLP) [1,2], and if the f...

The objective of this study was to evaluate the stimulation responses on each channel of an implantable two-channel stimulator that stimulates the peroneal nerve branches innervating the muscles for dorsiflexion and eversion movements. Currently five Dutch patients and five English patients have been implanted with this system. Isometric ankle torque measurements were carried out in the patient...

PURPOSE To review the feasibility of laparoscopic ureteroneocystostomy with extracorporeal eversion of the ureteral end in various distal ureteral lesions. MATERIALS AND METHODS We conducted a retrospective review of 5 laparoscopic procedures of ureteroneocystostomy with extracorporeal eversion of the ureteral end. Of these, 4 patients (range, 45 to 54 years) had distal ureter stricture or ob...

OBJECTIVE To compare the differential effect of custom orthoses on the lower extremity mechanics of a forefoot and rearfoot strike pattern. DESIGN Fifteen subjects ran with both a forefoot and a rearfoot strike pattern with and without orthoses. Lower extremity kinematic and kinetic variables were compared between strike pattern and orthotic conditions. BACKGROUND Foot orthoses have been sh...
