"Fingertip" cryoprobe assisted orbital tumour extraction

Orbital Teratoma: A rare congenital tumour.

BACKGROUND Orbital teratomas are congenital, unilateral germ cell tumors, which are present at birth with moderate to massive proptosis. The rare tumour has to be managed individually and is at times difficult. CASE A female child in her 2nd day of life was brought to our department with complains of forward bulging of the left eye which was noticed since the time of her birth. OBSERVATION ...

Orbital cellulitis following dental extraction.

THE DEVELOPMENT OF ORBITAL CELLULITIS FOLLOWING EXTRACTION OF TEETH has been recognized clinically in a number of studies. 1-7 Because of the large number of dental extractions performed in the United States each year (estimated at 50 million in the American Dental Association Bureau of Economic and Behavioral Research 1979 Survey of Services Rendered), it is important to recognize the process ...

Orbital-assisted metal-insulator transition in VO2.

We found direct experimental evidence for an orbital switching in the V 3d states across the metal-insulator transition in VO2. We have used soft-x-ray absorption spectroscopy at the V L2,3 edges as a sensitive local probe and have determined quantitatively the orbital polarizations. These results strongly suggest that, in going from the metallic to the insulating state, the orbital occupation ...
