AIMS To assess the effectiveness of enucleation or evisceration in relieving pain from painful blind eyes. METHODS 24 patients with intractable ocular pain underwent enucleation or evisceration with or without an orbital implant. RESULTS Complete pain relief was achieved in all patients at an average time of 3 months (range 1-15 months). Seven patients required further medical or surgical t...

UNLABELLED Among the complications of sinusitis, those that involve the orbital region are the most frequent. AIM the objective of this paper is to show an incidence of orbital cellulites (OC) secondary to acute sinusitis in children. STUDY DESIGN retrospective. METHODS After board approval, the charts of all pediatric patients diagnosed with orbital complications secondary to sinusitis, ...

We present the case of a 35-year-old man with a new onset of seizure disorder who was found to harbor an intraparenchymal retained foreign body related to remote orbital trauma. Imaging revealed a rim-enhancing anterior medial temporal lobe mass. Histologic evaluation of the resected mass showed evidence of acute and chronic inflammation with associated foreign material. The patient described a...

Reconstruction of the maxillofacial skeleton after traumatic injury is not always straightforward because of its three dimensional complex anatomy and aesthetic significance. In case of zygomatic-orbital injury induced by trauma resulting in enophthalmos, the patient is affected on both function and cosmesis. To prevent diplopia or conspicuous asymmetry, exact correction of the orbital symmetry...

Orbital emphysema following rhinoplasty is an extremely rare complication. Only one case of sub-dermal emphysema was reported in the English literature following rhinoplasty directly in post-operative period and one reported case of sudden orbital emphysema during septorhinoplasty operation. A 29 year old male underwent open septorhinoplasty. Surgery was un eventful and no nasal packs were plac...

Herein, we report a case of nasal natural killer T-cell lymphoma (NKTL) with intraocular involvement. A 57-year-old woman was referred due to a three-day history of photophobia and diplopia in the left eye. One-month previously, she was diagnosed with nasal NKTL of the right nasal cavity. Ophthalmic examination revealed conjunctival injection and ptosis. The left pupil was fully dilated and non...

The six-membered platinacycle complex, Pt((t)Bu(2)bpy)(C(6)H(4)OC(6)H(4)) (6) ((t)Bu(2)bpy = 4,4'-di-tert-butyl-2,2'-bipyridine) has been prepared from Pt((t)Bu(2)bpy)Cl(2) and 2,2'-dilithio-diphenyl ether. Platinacycle 6 and its analogs with X = CH(2) (4) and NMe (5) exhibit intense solid-state photoluminescence and nearly identical crystal structures. The photophysical properties of 4-6 in th...

Search for materials with a large nontrivial band gap is quite crucial for the realization of the devices using quantum spin Hall (QSH) effects. From first-principles calculations combined with a tight-binding (TB) model, we demonstrate that a trivial GaAs film with atomic thickness can be driven to a topological insulator with a sizable band gap by tensile strain. The strain-induced band inver...

Orbital angular momentum (OAM) of light is an attractive degree of freedom for fundamental studies in quantum mechanics. In addition, the discrete unbounded state-space of OAM has been used to enhance classical and quantum communications. Unambiguous measurement of OAM is a key part of all such experiments. However, state-of-the-art methods for separating single photons carrying a large number ...

In this study, a novel series of 4-thiazolidinone derivatives (1-17) was synthesized and evaluated for its in vitro antimicrobial and anticancer potentials. N-(2-(5-(4-nitrobenzylidene)-2-(4-chlorophenyl)-4-oxothia- zolidin-3-ylamino)-2-oxoethyl) benzamide (7, pMICam = 1.86 µM/mL) was found to be the most active antimi- crobial agent. The anticancer study results demonstrated that N-(2-(5-(4-hy...
