Background—The Early vs Late Infantile Strabismus Surgery Study Group investigates whether early or late surgery is preferable in infantile convergent strabismus, in a non-randomised, prospective, multicentre clinical trial. The current state of the study after end of recruitment is reported here, focusing on the question of possible sources for bias in this nonrandomised trial. Method—The prog...

BACKGROUND Strabismus, also known as squint, can have a debilitating effect on a person's self-esteem, quality of life and mood, as well as increase their feelings of social anxiety and avoidance behaviour. Strabismus surgery can improve both the alignment of a person's eyes and, in appropriate cases, relieve symptoms such as double vision. However, evidence indicates that not all patients expe...

The space-air-ground-sea integrated network (SAGSIN) plays an important role in offering global coverage. To improve the efficient utilization of spectral and hardware resources SAGSIN, sensing communications (ISAC) has drawn extensive attention. Most existing ISAC works focus on terrestrial networks cannot be straightforwardly applied satellite systems due to significantly different electromag...

OBJECTIVE To identify specific health-related quality-of-life (HRQOL) concerns for children with intermittent exotropia (IXT) and their parents. METHODS Twenty-four children aged 5 to 17 years with IXT and 1 parent for each child were recruited. Individual interviews with the child and then the parent were audiotaped and transcribed. Transcripts were reviewed, phrases regarding effects of IXT...

PURPOSE To compare the results of Worth 4-dot test (WFDT) performed in dark and light, and at different distances, with fusional control in patients with intermittent exotropia (IXT). METHODS Dark and light WFDT was performed for new IXT subjects at different distances and the results were compared with level of office-based fusional control. RESULTS Fifty IXT patients including 17 male and...

Due to the fact that quality of received signal is adversely affected by beam squint phenomenon, which especially pertinent millimeter wave (mmwave) bands, many studies have been utilised other researchers provide light on some challenges come with analysing this type occurrence. Squint causes several issues, most important are its detrimental effects gain, line sight, angle arrival, progressiv...

family studies suggest that there is a strong genetic component to the etiology of comitant strabismus. seven cases of a family in three consecutive generations found to have isolated comitant exotropia. this pattern of inheritance is highly suggestive of an autosomal-dominant mode with complete penetrance which is an unreported finding in this entity.   iranian journal of ophthalmology 200921(...
