The effects on the inner surface temperatures of the upper and lower eyelids of four commercial heat therapies were compared for an individual with recalcitrant meibomian gland dysfunction. Three therapies (Bruder mask, Blephasteam, and MiBoFlo) involved the application of heat to the external lid surface, and the fourth (LipiFlow) applied heat to the internal lid surface. Only LipiFlow was eff...

BACKGROUND There have been passing references in history that excessive occlusal forces might be a causative factor in gingival recession. The purpose of the present cross-sectional study was to explore the role of trauma from occlusion on the development of gingival recession. METHODS Three hundred patients reporting to the department of Periodontics were screened for the presence of gingiva...

This paper discusses the case for expanding active labor market policy in recession. We find that there is reasonable case for relying more heavily on certain kinds of programs. The argument is tied to the varying size of the lock-in effect in boom and recession. If programs with relatively large lock-in effects should ever be used, they should be used in a downturn. The reason is simply that t...

Basosquamous carcinoma is known to occur among Caucasian males over the sixth decade of life. Though not common, it can be seen in females and environmental factors may not play a role. The diagnosis can be made only by histopathology. A middle aged lady was referred with a noduloulcerative neoplasm of her right lower eyelid. Wide excision of the growth was undertaken with reconstruction of the...

Light-induced degradation (LID) in boron-doped Czochralski grown (CZ) silicon is a severe problem for devices such as solar cells or radiation detectors. Herein, CZ investigated by low-temperature photoluminescence (LTPL) spectroscopy. An LID-related peak already found while analyzing indium-doped p-type samples and associated with the ASi–Sii defect model. it whether similar present spectra of...

A series of 112 eyelids with symptomatic aberrant eyelashes were treated by cryotherapy using a specially designed large-surfaced high-flow nitrous oxide probe. Either thermocouple control to -20 degrees C or timing of the application to 20 seconds (lower lid) or 25 seconds (upper lid) was used to monitor the freeze. Both techniques obtained a high cure rate and a low incidence of complications.

five cases of extensive lid-cheek basal cell car cmornas are presented. treatment was by wide excision followed by immediate reconstruction using the nasal septal chondr . mucosal graft technique of millard. the advantages of th i. procedure in an elderly, rural population of working people over other modes of reconstruction are noted. the success of this procedure recommends its wider applicat...

BACKGROUND The influence of orbital fractures and their repair on the rate of deformities of the lower eyelid is an ongoing source of discussion in the literature. Most of the present studies include isolated blow-out as well as combined orbital fractures. MATERIAL AND METHODS We present a retrospective evaluation of a series of 100 patients after isolated blow-out fracture repair using refer...

THIS case is reported as a mass in the lower lid presumed to be due to " sclerosing lipo-granuloma". Case Report A boy aged 16 years reported at the Surbiton Branch of the Royal Eye Hospital on December 29, 1956, complaining of a painless swelling in his left lower lid which had appeared gradually during the past 7 days. He had received a light blow from a fist on his left eye while "fooling ar...
